The Skull Merchant

Eyes In The Sky: the numbers

Inspired by the dark mangas created by her father, The Skull Merchant relentlessly hunts her prey using the latest in surveillance technology. The Skull Merchant begins the match with six Drones. Press the Power button to deploy a Drone. Recalling a Drone grants Undetectable for 8 seconds. Once detected by a scan line, a Survivor gains scan immunity and cannot be detected by other scan lines for a few seconds. Survivors can attempt to hack Drones. Failure partially fills their Lock On meter; Success disables the Drone for 45 seconds. SPECIAL ABILITY: RADAR Press the Ability Button to open a Radar to see the locations of Survivors detected by Drones and those with Claw Traps. The Radar can be used to change a Drone's rotation direction or to recall a Drone. When a Survivor is detected by a Drone shortly after its deployment or change in rotation, The Skull Merchant gains 5% Haste for 8 seconds. SPECIAL EFFECT: LOCK ON The Lock On meter fills when scanned by a Drone and when failing to disable a Drone. When the meter is full, the Survivor receives a Claw Trap, becomes Injured, and suffers from the Broken status effect. Additional scans briefly apply a 10% Hindered status effect. A Claw Trap broadcasts the Survivor’s location to the Killer and is only removed when its battery dies.

The power's tunables as the game stores them. Distances and speeds are converted from engine centimetres to metres; everything else is shown as stored.
