Sadako needs an add-on pass and quality of life help!
Okay so on the 19th of this month the devs posted the killers ranking for high mmr and every mmr. To see Sadako second in all mmrs I got a little bit upset. Why? Because by seeing a high kill rate for a killer usually means a nerf or let them be as they are for a very long time. I really like Sadako but she is frustrating to play as because she has so little to her base kit for chase and her condemned is very non threatening without a certain build. Sadako deserves to have her add-ons buffed and or changed along with her numbers to be altered to give her a bit more umph. I am not trying to make her over powered, I want her to feel like a killer and not a punching bag.
Starting off I would make her base walking speed when undetectable using only her power I would make her have a 10% haste effect (two stacks of play with your food just like a yellow clown bottle). This would make for a great mobility in and out of chase. Next I would make her lullaby gone, she will keep the way she looks going in and out of visibility which I think is good enough but the lullaby is too much since she is meant to be stealth. If she went full invisible you might as well just play wraith or spirit.
Her condemned mechanic should actively increase throughout the match at one stack every 35 seconds. The first thirty seconds of a match however, does not go for a stack so she has some stealth. (Like otz said, I too would change the hud to not show the ring for condemned). Her cool down for TVS is horrible and I want to see a TV turn on after a survivor returns or gets a tape to be 65 seconds. Her teleport cool down should be 45 seconds. The time difference is so massive that players will know what is the better choice is to get those TVS down and it is still better than her cool down when teleporting currently.
I would love to see her get a small speed boost when leaving the TV. Half of the bloody finger nail add-ons (Yes like otz had said lol).
I will now get to her addons and how I would change them, tell me which ones you would change or like or hate.
Browns:
NEW- Videotape Copy: The condemned timer is increased from 35 seconds to 50 seconds. Grants 100 % Bonus Bloodpoints for Deluge of Fear Score Events.
SAME- Old Newspaper: Increases the invisibility duration after Manifesting by +33 %.
NEW- Mother's Mirror: Increases the duration of the intermittent visibility phase after Manifesting by +3 seconds. Adds 2 seconds of intermittent visibility after teleporting to a TV when a survivor is within a 16 meter range.
NEW- Cabin Sign: Reduces the time it takes for a TV to turn on after Projection by -5 seconds. reduces the time it takes for a TV to turn on after being turned off by a survivor by -7 seconds.
Yellows:
SAME- Yoichi's Fishing Net: Reduces the time it takes Survivors to acquire another stack of Condemned by -12 % when holding a VHS tape.
NEW- Well Stone: When a TV has been turned off by any means that TV will turn on and give a loud notification to the killer when a survivor enters a 20 meter radius until turned off again. If it is turned off by a survivor the aura of that survivor will be shown for 4 seconds after being turned off.
BUFFED- Sea-Soaked Cloth: Survivors within 8 meters of a powered TV suffer from the Blindness Status Effect. This effect lingers for 20 (was 7) seconds after the TV is turned off.
NEW- Reiko's Watch: Increases the invisibility duration while Demanifested by +50 %. If a survivor is within a 7 meter range of you while demanifested the survivor suffers from the hindered status effect until fully demanifested.
NEW- Clump of Hair- The Onryō can face a TV and choose to turn it off. If a TV is shut down by this methood it will turn on in 35 seconds and the next time a survivor returns or takes a tape from this TV that survivor will suffer from the mangled and hemorrhage effect next time they lose a health state until fully healed.
Greens:
BUFFED + NEW- Well Water: Increases the duration of the Undetectable status Effect by +7 seconds when Manifesting by any means. If stunned by any means that survivor will become oblivious for 60 seconds.
SAME- Ring Drawing: Condemned Survivors spread their Condemnation to other Survivors, who complete a Healing action on them.
NEW- Rickety Pinwheel: Survivors that are within 10 meters of a powered on TV build their condemned by 7%. When a survivor returns a tape to a TV they lose only two stacks of condemned.
NEW- Mother's Comb: When a TV is turned off by a survivor that is holding a tape that survivor's aura is shown for 7 seconds every 14 seconds until the tape is returned to a new TV.
NERF- Bloody Fingernails: Increases the duration of the Post-Projection Movement Speed boost by +25 %.
Note: since Bloody fingernails is half base kit it only is right to keep the other half in the add-on.
PURPLES:
SAME + NEW VCR: All TVs play the Projection effects when The Onryō Projects to a TV. A phantom Onryō will emerge from the TV if a survivor is within a 7 meter range. The phantom is shown to the killer for 7 seconds.
NEW- Telephone: When a survivor retrieves or returns a tape they suffer from a 7% hindered status effect until a new tape is in their hands.
SAME + NEW- Tape Editing Deck: Each Survivor starts the Trial with a VHS Tape in their possession, and their highlighted TV is the one farthest from their location but only can be interacted with after 45 seconds. Condemned timer starts at the beginning of the trail.
NEW- Distorted Photo: Survivors witnessing a Manifestation from within 16 metres will suffer from the incapacitated status effect for 10 seconds. If a survivor is hit during this time they drop any item they hold but it does not lose charges.
IRIDESCENT:
NEW- Remote Control After using Projection, all survivors within 20 meters of a tv will gain a stack of condemned. The condemned timer is removed. TVS turned off by a survivor or projection will turn on after 50 seconds. Returning a tape only removes 1 stack of condemned.
NERF + NEW- Iridescent Videotape Hitting a Survivor within 8 seconds after Manifesting turns on the last 2 TVs turned off by Projection. Those two TVS will show the aura of survivors within 10 meters. The Onryō cannot project to these TVS. The Onryō gains a haste status effect of 7% when within the range and for 7 seconds after leaving it.
So there we go that is how I would change this killer and her add- ons. I think this is a great start she just needs something for actual chase. Hope you enjoyed reading this book haha.
