This is our first proper showcase of the new Killer on the PTB "The Lich", better known as Vecna from Dungeons & Dragons. Since the PTB had very slow matchmaking, we played with some friends in a custom match and tried our best to showcase his strengths (and also some of his weaknesses). Overall, I think that he'll be a very decent Killer if they buff him a tiny bit!

    freddy and knight seeing a killer thats allowed to freely switch between multiple types of their power at will:
  • @komakirak7818
    His shiny bald head should deflect flashlights and blind survivors
  • @eclipscycle
    True, he needs a 5th power that oils him up, for no specific reason of course…
  • @soubhikpal2067
    Bro half the game Otz is like "I have an idea; oh I'm on cooldown", or "Ahh its just too slow"
  • @OminousStalker
    "Secretary? Unfreeze my credit card. It's very important"
  • @ivansleepy4722
    "Mmmmm, decisions, decisions..." He's so sassy, that's definitely Matt Mercer
  • @MaxxDW
    They should add a santa skin where whenever he flies, he uses a sleigh and drops gifts
  • 3:23-3:24 Another Thing i just noticed, is that if you hit Survivors with the Sphere, for as long as they are affected, you see what Item they have. For Example, the adam has Gauntlets that reveal you while flying
  • @ConnorSparkyy
    If Vecna had slightly less cooldown on abilities and a slightly reduced cooldown duration after using an ability, I think he would be a strong but still very enjoyable killer to play and play against!

    Flight of the Dammed has a hitbox so small that you can miss even if you shot it at a survivor vaulting; Dispelling Sphere takes a long time to check a gen and its useless in a chase (unless you have a certain addon or the survivor has a magical item); Pallet blocking with Mage Hand lasts for 4 seconds which is not enough time for most loops (also due to the massive slowdown you get after casting it); Picking up a pallet with Mage Hand the moment the survivor drops it, almost always guarantees a hit (so I prefer doing this rather than blocking the pallet); Fly is good for map traversal and chasing (in my opinion its his strongest spell); According to the DBD Wiki, each spell has a 50 second cooldown and the slowdown you get after casting one lasts for 2 seconds (2.5 seconds for Fly); My suggestions for a buff would be at least one of the following : Increasing the horizontal hitbox of the Flight of the Dammed; Having the "Glass eye" addon be base-kit; Reducing the duration you get slowdown to 1.5 seconds (2.5 seconds for Fly);

    Hello Otz, this is the Nat1 you rolled, climb in the mimic.

    i absolutely love how he feels like you can play him how you want. like.. alot of abilities and strats are very samey but he gives you alot of options. and having to ration your abilities, you can fly and then block a pallete, hit them and then snipe them with skeletons but now you barely have any abilities for a while. or you can ration them but risk longer chases. small things like that makes it very fun to think as a killer.
  • @SIMPLYDEVON
    make the orb 1.5 his walking speed, make the cast time on skeletons faster but he announces it louder or earlier, make fly recovery faster, and most importantly make the hand slap a survivor on there ass when they pass through a palate dealing immense psychologic damage. all that would make him just prefect. Am i right?
  • the number of "i have an idea! oh, it's on cooldown" in this video is really telling about the weaknesses of this killer
  • @StanTwiceZ
    I’m so excited to play this chapter on Live servers even if Vecna stays a bit weak
  • @Yesyolodog
    Not gonna lie even if he’s undertuned right now, he’s a perfect clay to mold into shape! hella gud stuff bhvr!
  • @Sl33pySage
    Been playing him for awhile now and I completely agree. He feels somewhat clunky and sluggish which discourages using his spells somewhat and just play him as a normal m1. I found that chaining his spells for the best value you can get while keeping the slowdown minimal. Overall though even if they don't buff him as it stand he is my next main for sure. Although as a Billy main he does feel a bit sluggish and clunky :c hopefully he flows better but he is very cool Also, it's unfortunate you start the match without your power for a bit meanwhile by the time you do get it the survivors who spawned next to chests can already see your aura(and get haste for free) by the time you use it for the first time

    This is still one of the best designed killers bhvr has released in a while. He is a well rounded jack of all trades killer with 3 of his abilities allowing for more interesting chase dynamics that still have significant room for counter play. While the killer still introduces side objectives for the survivors, they aren’t necessary, they don’t nullify the killers power, and they mainly add new and fun ways to engage with the killer, encouraging survivors to have fun with the match rather than gen rush through it. Ultimately, if bhvr relaxes some of the cooldowns and slowdowns this killer could become a beloved addition to the game.
  • thank you for putting everything i love about this killer into a video! i dont usually comment, but i really enjoy your content! keep it up
  • God i love every aspect of this chapter. For a not horror themed crossover, Vecna translated EXTREMELY well
