NEW KILLER: THE SLENDERMAN

A mysterious killer, provoked and summoned through word of mouth. He uses his tendrils to assault survivors from a distance while driving survivors paranoid and leaving them vulnerable to his arrival. His personal perks: Killer’s Mark: Mandela Effect, Killer’s Mark: Word of Mouth, and Compromised Convalescence allow him to create illusions, find survivors, and force debuffs to last longer than usual.

KILLER POWER: INVASIVE PARANOIA

At the start of the trial, all survivors begin to gain paranoia. It takes 90 seconds to become paranoid, and the time is reduced by half while a survivor is injured. Once a survivor becomes completely paranoid, they become deafened, hearing everything in muffles; their vision is impaired by blocking everything in black past 10 meters; and they suffer the oblivious status effect, preventing them from hearing the killer’s terror radius. Survivors who are unhooked lose all paranoia and gain 20 seconds of immunity to anything that would give them paranoia to limit cheesy tunneling strats. The immunity is lost upon receiving healing progress or doing a conspicuous action.

To mitigate this, there are 7 community boards in the trial, one by each generator. Community boards passively spawn pages that all players can pick up. Once a page is collected, the survivor no longer suffers from paranoia. Only 3 pages can spawn in the trial at the same time and will prioritize spawning as far as possible from any player on the map. Pages are highlighted to players within 16 meters, and whenever the killer picks up a page, the trial stops generating pages for 15 seconds before resuming the cooldown at a reset value, effectively taking 45 seconds for another page to spawn. 1 page spawns at the start of the match.

SPECIAL ABILITY: INSIDIOUS ATTUNEMENT

Holding the active ability button slows you down (3.9) and for a brief moment after canceling. Fully paranoid survivors are revealed to you through killer instinct, and the location of all pages on the map is revealed to you. After fully charging Insideous Attunement, you may execute either Tendril Skewer or Arrival.

SPECIAL ATTACK: TENDRIL SKEWER

Launch a tendril forward with omnidirectional control to damage a survivor and apply 50% paranoia and the deep wound status effect. The tendrils share most of their properties with Pinhead’s Chain attack, with the only genuine exception being that the tendril will ALWAYS begin a bit above and behind Slenderman, and there is a mechanic that lets you partially control the attack's velocity by 50%. Tendrils move at 9 meters a second and, on a successful hit, apply 33% paranoia and a 10% hindrance that lasts for 2.5 seconds. The attack has no cooldown.

LOCOMOTION: ARRIVAL

While looking at a survivor with full paranoia, teleport within 12 meters of them - Arrival prioritizes spawning Slenderman on the same elevation and within line of sight of the survivor. From the survivor’s perspective, their screen turns into static for a moment as they hear a deafening scream. Any survivor within 16 meters of Slenderman as he arrives is marked with killer instinct for 3 seconds, screams, and paranoid survivors suffer a 10% hindrance for 2 seconds. Arrival has no cooldown but takes 2 seconds to fully teleport while being unable to move. Additionally, teleporting to a survivor within 12 meters of a hooked survivor forces the start-up to take 6 seconds to complete.

B+ to B- killer on the tierlist in high MMR

• He uses a cane as his melee weapon with a wooden base and a golden handle that resembles his head with a massive grin
  • His wipe animation has him spin his cane as he slings the blood toward the ground.
  • His prestige weapon has blood dripping from the mouth and eyes.
• He spawns in the trial with a cane in hand and a fedora on, then tosses the fedora and laughs to himself.
• His pallet break and vault animations are recycled from Trapper
• His wall-break and locker-search animations are recycled from Trickster.
• His Stun animation has him grasp his eyes as he tumbles back for a minute.
• For his lobby entrance, a Joker card falls from the top of the screen before eventually flying toward the fourth wall. The Joker catches it as he peers his head at the meta camera and peels back to the side. He walks from the right side of the screen with a shuffle and rests on his cane while holding out a flare gun.
  • Idle animation 1 - He twirls his gun before firing toward something at the right. AS he pulls the trigger, a flag comes out that says “BANG.” He looks at the flag in shock, then laughs and throws it to the side.
  • Idle animation 2 - He offers a card to the camera before flipping it over, revealing the face of the card resembles either David, Sable, or Ace.
• His Mori is unique as it has two variations based on a coin flip. He flips the survivor on their back using their foot as he crushes their ankle under his shoes. He points his flare gun at their gaping mouth and fires.
  • Mori One has him fire a flare into their jaw, causing their face to burn as they begin to choke on soot and blood. The flare explodes, turning their head into paste and confetti.
  • Mori Two has him fire a flag that says ‘BANG ’, which promptly causes the survivor to recoil in fear. Joker admires the dud as he begins laughing madly. He walks over their torso like a rug before jumping on their head with both feet on repeat, eventually causing their head to explode.

KILLER POWER: LAUGHING MATTER

SPECIAL ATTACK: FLARE GUN

Press the active ability button to fire a flare which creates an explosion that damages survivors. Only direct hits down survivors, though; hitting direct hits on healthy survivors inflicts deep wound and a 10% hindrance that lasts for 3 seconds. If an injured survivor is hit by an explosion, they suffer from deep wound and 10% hindrance for 3 seconds.

• The flare comes out at a minimum of 45 frames or 0.75 seconds.
• The explosion is 2 meters wide and can hit survivors through walls.
• Joker slows himself to 3.9 m/s while aiming and will continue at that speed upon firing or canceling for 1 second.
• Upon firing or canceling, there is a 2-second window where you can not attack, similar to what other zoners like Huntress and First have.
• The flare has an arc that can potentially travel over walls and objects. Not as heavy as Unknown or Springtrap, but heavy enough to reliably hit survivors 40 meters away by firing at a 45-degree angle on maps with an open sky.
• There is a 6-second cooldown before you can shoot another flare.

MAP ORDINANCE AND EFFECT: JACK IN THE BOX AND LAUGHING GAS

Holding the secondary active ability button will place a box on the ground. Joker can place up to 4 boxes at any given point in the trial, and whenever he places one while he reaches the limit, the first box placed is dismantled, effectively removing it from the game. Joker can dismantle boxes from anywhere on the trial just by looking at them and pressing the misc active ability button - this has no cooldown.

• The boxes can not be placed within 16 meters of a hooked survivor
• If Joker hooks a survivor within 16 meters of a box, the box will automatically dismantle.
• Placing boxes uses Trapper’s bear traps as a reference, but all players have no collision with them - You can’t just place a box under a door frame and prevent survivors from walking through.
• There is a minimum placement range of 1.5 meters where the box needs to be far away enough from an object like an exit gate, generator, locker, pallet, etc to ensure that survivors don’t accidently interact with thee box, preventing it from being used as an instrament of obstruction in the same vein as Merchant being able to put down a drone on a pallet to force survivors to vaccume their interaction into the drone and force them to take a hit.

Survivors can dismantle the box by passing a series of skill checks that get progressively harder as it continues. On success, the box is disabled for 30 seconds, resting in place as the lights on the box dim and the mechanisms inside lay silent. If a survivor fails, the box will pull out a spring-loaded mechanism with a white glove and a Smith & Wesson 500 Bone Collector to shoot the survivor in the head, dealing an instance of damage and potentially placing them in the dying state - survivors who are downed this way are revealed with killer instinct.

Pressing the tertiary active ability button will allow you to call upon the entity to teleport to a box in the trial. Upon doing so, the box will explode in a 24-meter circle of gas that leaks through walls and floors. All survivors initially caught in the gas are marked with killer instinct and suffer from the blindness and oblivious status effect while having their vision compromised - Survivor vision is limited to being unable to see past 8 meters, and this effect persists until the gas expires after 15 seconds or the survivor leaves the gas. After Joker teleports, the box dismantles itself.

• Teleporting has no cooldown due to the opportunity cost and required setup. 
• Teleporting is also available at the start of the match, which is relevant because of addons.
