  Even a killer as good as Oni could use some tweaks. I thought it would be fun to come up with them just to make him the perfect killer, I honestly think he is the most balanced killer who is strong and fun as hell to play as or against.

  Power changes: Slight tweaks and possible controversial idea

  • The passive regeneration of "blood fury" can now fully complete the power bar (keep in mind it is extremely slow even with the addons, VERY slow).
  • It now takes 1.75 seconds to charge up demon dash. The scalped topknot reduces this by .25 seconds. Since my other one seemed a bit too strong, I have done the same thing with different numbers. The charge time feels just a wee bit sluggish at places, even this small number change would help and make the scalped topknot feel like a green tier addon. It would also not make it totally useless.

  Addon tweaks/buffs: To make the useless ones not totally useless and fix his ultra rares

  Scalped topknot: Rare addon

  "Moderately reduces the charge time required to activate demon dash" (.25 seconds, already explained above)

  Rotting rope: Common addon

  "Slightly increases the blood orb detection range (2 meters) + Slightly increases the blood orb absorption range (2 meters). "

  Just a small tweak that makes sense with a brown addon and would keep this addon a brown one.

  Child's wooden sword: Uncommon addon

  "Moderately increases the blood orb detection range (3 meters) + Moderately increases the blood orb absorption range (3 meters)."

  Same as the rotting rope buff, just with an extra meter of orb succ.

  Polished Maedate: Uncommon addon

  "Slightly increases Yamaoka's wrath passive charge rate + Slightly increases the amount of progress towards "blood fury" the Oni gets from hitting a healthy survivor with a basic attack (10% extra progress)."

  This addon is pretty useless, so I thought I would give it an effect that would make it an actual yellow tier addon that is something, but not ridiculously strong.

  Shattered Wakizashi: Rare addon

  "Moderately increases Yamaoka's wrath passive charge rate + Moderately increases the amount of progress towards "blood fury" the Oni gets when hitting a healthy survivor with a basic attack (25% extra progress)."

  This addon is also pretty useless like its weaker version described above. Like I said for the weaker version, I buffed this so it has a much better use but not absurdly powerful.

  Renjiro's bloody glove: Ultra-rare addon

  "All survivors can see blood orbs, a survivor's aura is revealed for 2 seconds whenever they come into contact with a blood orb absorbing it in the process, this effect stacks for each blood orb absorbed."

  I don't know why this addon was nerfed by making survivors absorbing it, you have to use a whole build around this addon to get it to work nicely. An ultra-rare addon should be an ultra-rare for a reason, meaning it should have a powerful effect. It would not be overpowered, but a little overwhelming for survivors (just like other powerful killer addons). The survivors can already see the orbs, so they can walk around them to avoid them which slows them down if they want to sneak around if the Oni just keeps letting them bleed while holding his power.

  Iridescent family crest: Ultra-rare addon

  "When "blood fury" is active and the Oni is demon dashing, survivors within 8 meters of the Oni will scream. Any survivor who is in the terror radius of the Oni when he activates "blood fury" will scream revealing their location for 4 seconds."

  I think it is a neat idea to buff this addon in this way because this addon is pretty useless honestly. You have to fully charge a demon strike and waste time to get it to work. Funny thing is, you can't even look up in time to find the survivor who is closeby from the notification bubble. Notification bubbles are also weird and inaccurate. I really think that this change to the addon would be great and make it have an awesome use. I don't think it is necessarily OP either, he can much better patrol with his power to find survivors and when activating it he can check the area for survivors. You might say it is just a better doctor static blast, but I don't think it is that bad because keep in mind, this is an ultra-rare addon meaning it should have some crazy effects that are powerful and really make a killer intimidating.

  With that, I come to a close with giving Oni some fine-tuning. Feel free to comment on these changes, I would appreciate it, I worked hard on this.

  Oni does not need any buffs or nerfs, should worry more about weaker killers like Trapper or Pig <3
