Does new skull merchant have one of the best stealths?

supersonic853

Most stealth killers have a tell ahead of time or are slower (pig growl, ghostface shroud noise, wraith crackle) She's completly silent and can move full speed. She can easily go undetectable for a few seconds by throwing out a drone mid chase. And she has 2 addons that keep the undetectable up infinitely for traversing the map and jumping on someone else. (The one that lowers cooldown and the one that extends the undetectable duration). So just thought id see what people think of her vs other stealth killers. Since someone like myers and ghostface can expose you. Wraith has better map traversal. And she has antiloop, unconditional undetectable and all the other stuff drones provide (making people broken,hindering,speeding herself up, ect)

My first game with her I used the power cool-down and stealth duration, it was bonkers.

The almost unlimited stealth means getting the drop on Survivors from behind cover is a common occurrence. Her chase potential with the drones themselves help to secure that second hit. I actually find the drone management fun along with maintaining stealth to get the drop on people. She’s a different kind of stealth Killer.

Even without the add-ons, the base kit stealth can really be played around with during and when dropping chases. The lack of a red strain during the chase is nice for quickly rounding corners or using FoV obstructions for sneaky moves. Using it to drop chase and find someone else is effective as well.

Overall I love it and I’m still messing around with her other add-on combos and playstyles.

Yeah i feel she can have a lot of playstyles. Every video i see is different lol. The purple for faster rotation and the lesser scan immunity is nuts for consistent marking for instance. The undetectable build. Max hinder via the green and the purple. And movement speed merchant via both movement speed addons. Shes not wraith addon level but shes definitely got a good spread.

I dont have SM (yet) but looks like it have good stealth with addons.

To me at this point, as long is not OP (and is not the case) or have an unhealthy gameplay (3 gen chessmerchant) its OK and looks even fun.

May be i buy this new Chekers Merchant if we have a discount this october.

105 permaently. Cannot gain bloodlust. Half a normal lunge. Has to run a indoor map as he cannot cut survivors off with such a low speed advantage. And camping pallets or safe areas makes him useless. SM has a lot more advantages for having on demand up to infinite stealth that myers just having wallhacks cannot compete with on most maps. But you are correct. Hes the only one with infinite stealth that can damage you. Wish his downsides weren't so large.

ITs really not OP, you need to drop drones constantly for it to work, which means drones are typically in bad positions and you can't gain bloodlust, and is somewhat map dependant. Its a nice thing to catch someone you saw with an aura or something off guard once in a while though.

If you like Hag or Trapper you might enjoy the new Skully, if you don't like trap Killers then you will have to look somewhere else.

Nope. Just because make herself hide for few seconds once a while doesn't make her stealth killer as main ability. Wraith, ghostie much better if you aim for that.

I mean she can literally do it forever because with the one addon the cooldowns shorter than the undetectable duration. So her tr never goes back. But yeah. I guess for solo stealth shes not matching up to the big guys. She also has addons like the iri to make her more stealthy.

Her stealth is garbage, subpar at best.

Ironically she's the only stealth killer that doesn't have footsteps that are loud as #########.

Seriously every stealth killer (or killer with stealth in their kit) has a super obvious tell that they are nearby.

• Wraith makes that snarling sound
• Ghostface has the wooshing sound
• Demogorgon has the loudest footsteps of any killer in the game, legit like you can hear them like 30 meters away.
• Pig dash has that screech and even not dashing and just m1ing you make a very distinct sound when she stands up.
• Myers breaths like he has asthma
• Dredge in nightfall is almost as loud as demogorgon
• Sadako makes that electronic tvish noise when she is near

The only one with stealth built into their kit that doesn't still make loud as ######### noises is SM at this point.

You didn't include my favorite stealth killer(s). Twins!
