Add new killer- Kira Yoshikage

Character Overview

Name in DbD: Yoshikage Kira

Chapter: "A Quiet Life" Role: Manipulator Killer with object control and time distortion mechanics.

Lore: A serial killer from Morioh obsessed with a "quiet life," Kira was lured into the Entity's realm by the promise of endless victims to satisfy his urges.

Kira's Power

His Stand, Killer Queen, defines gameplay through three phases:

  1. Basic Attack (Killer Queen's Fist):
    • Standard melee attacks with Killer Queen's fists.
    • Moderate attack speed (like Trapper) + explosive VFX on hit.
  2. Power Ability: Bomb Transmutation:
    • Activation: Hold Power to charge an object (generator, pallet, window).
    • Effect:
      • Charged objects display a glowing cat-face animation.
      • Explosion on survivor interaction:
        • Generator: -15% progress + 2s stun.
        • Pallet: Instant destruction + 2.5s stun.
      • Max 1 charged object per type. Cooldown: 20s.
  3. Unique Mechanic: Sheer Heart Attack (SHA):
    • Activation: Automatically deploys for 75s after a generator is completed.
    • Behavior:
      • Autonomously chases nearest survivor via heat-tracking.
      • Separate Terror Radius (mechanical tread sounds).
      • Contact: Instantly downs survivors (Dying State).
      • Immune to stuns/pallets/abilities.
      • Counterplay: Survivors evade by reducing heat signature (crouching for 3s/hiding in lockers).
      • Sheer Heart Attack (SHA) - Detailed Mechanics**
      • 1. Activation:
      • SHA is not active all match. It deploys only after survivors complete a generator (1 SHA per completed gen).
      • Maximum of 3 active SHA at once (equal to remaining gens).
      • 2. Control:
      • Kira can recall SHA (Ability 2 key) with trade-offs:
        • Cooldown: 15 seconds.
        • Recall Effect: SHA detonates, inflicting Injured status on all survivors within 8m.
      • 3. Autonomy:
      • SHA moves independently, but:
        • Kira sees its aura (red outline).
        • Can reassign SHA to another survivor (hold Power + look at target), but only if its current target hides (e.g., enters a locker).
      • 4. Balance:
      • Activation Cost: Each SHA use slows Kira by 5% for 10 seconds (reflects Stand’s "weight").
      • Counterplay:
        • Survivors can temporarily disable SHA by blinding it with a flashlight (2.5s inactivity).
        • Immune to pallets/basic attacks.
      • "Sheer Heart Attack isn’t a free-roaming menace—Kira strategically deploys it only after generator completion, and players must choose between direct control or sacrificing mobility. This creates tense decisions: chase survivors yourself or let your Stand hunt for you?"
      • (SHA):🔹 Activates only when survivors finish a generator (max 3 active SHA).🔹 Recall to detonate it (15s cooldown), injuring nearby survivors.🔹 Reassign SHA to new targets if they hide, but at a speed penalty.🔹 Survivors can blind it (flashlight) to pause its pursuit briefly."A tactical tool—not an AI crutch—that rewards smart positioning and map awareness."
  4. Mori (Bites The Dust):
    • Trigger: When a survivor dies (sacrifice or kill).
    • Effect:
      • All incomplete generators regress by -12%.
      • Item durability fully restored (broken items excluded).
      • Bomb Transmutation instantly recharges.
      • VFX: Clock rewinding + rewind SFX.

Perks (Teachable)

  1. Third Bomb:
    • After hitting a survivor within 15s of chase start, their last repaired generator regresses by 12%."Fate is on the side of Yoshikage Kira!"
  2. Serial Killer:
    • Mori one survivor at the cost of a random generator progressing 60%. Before Mori, generator repair speed is -8%.Reflecting sacrifices for "peace."
  3. No Weakness:
