Red By Daylight: The Shape Rework & Clown Buff
Join CommunitySummary
The Red By Daylight: Scarlet League community announced significant changes for The Shape (Michael Myers) and a minor adjustment for The Clown. The Shape receives a major rework to his Evil Incarnate power, introducing the new Slaughtering Strike lunge ability and altering how stalking mechanics function, aiming to provide more adaptable tools. The Clown's Afterpiece Antidote activation time has been increased.
- Once the stalk meter is full, Evil Incarnate mode can be triggered at will, granting the following effects for a limited time (note: Survivors no longer become Exposed):
4.6m/s movement speed, 40m Terror Radius and an increased vault speed.
Unlocks Slaughtering Strike ability:
Hold the power button to charge this ability, reducing movement speed.
Press the attack button while charging to quickly lunge forward, adjusting your angle as you move. The length of the lunge depends on charge time.
If a Survivor enters the Killer’s attack range while lunging, they are knocked into the Dying State.
This ability can also be used to destroy pallets.
Unlocks the ability to grab and kill or perform a regular Mori on Survivors who would die the next time they are hooked. - Adjusted some of the mechanics of stalking:
Removed the limited pool of stalk points per Survivor.
Reduced stalk range to 32m and removed distance modifier.
Moving while stalking has increased movement speed but incurs a reduced stalk rate. - Reworked his add-ons.
DEV NOTE: By moving away from linear “Evil Within” tiers, we wanted to give players more tools they can use to adapt to each Trial’s unique situations, while keeping the core of what makes him “The Shape”.
Slaughtering Strike makes for a high-threat offensive attack, offering up an insta-down opportunity with an extended lunge that's particularly effective in loops and for ripping through pallets quickly.
Understanding his kit has changed quite a lot, we’ve done a pass on nearly all his add-ons, reworking many of them to offer more unique effects. In particular for those who prefer his old playstyle, Fragrant Tuft of Hair will change Evil Incarnate to function like old Myers, offering an Exposed effect and no Slaughtering Strike. Stay tuned for patch notes for the full details on these changes!
THE CLOWN
- Increased activation time of the Afterpiece Antidote.
