I really enjoy playing thief but I was never sure how to use the flashlight effectively so I always felt like it was wasted. I really appreciate this guide since now I feel like I can actually play Thief much better now, and also counter a lot of the hunters that made me want to die inside (namely BQ thanks to your other video, but Geisha and Soul Weaver are also really annoying for me to deal with). Really great tips!
I'm having so much fun with him in rank, some matches i end up being called toxic for using him XD, is so easy to kite every hunter except for Wu Chang white form :(
Joseph mains!!, if the flashlight hasn't taken away your skills yet, use Timeskip/footsteps as you chase. You can still put yourself at an angle while walking a certain direction to counter Thief! So basically its like using teleport to 360 but you can choose an angle.
Thief is always been strong but most players I've encountered or see on some fb page of idv I don't usually see thief on getting noticed like most of them focus on like prospector or someone cute like ship here ship them it's really cringe but there's the point they don't like thief cause it's really hard for most of them to master the map with moonwalk
Thank you for thief guide Katz! I also hope there could be more thief users in NAEU. yeah I always got hit by Joker's dash bc I start using my flashlight from medium distance... How do you dodge gamekeeper's grab?
The auto-calibration on Gamekeeper's hook is wild, if he one-taps you you could move sideways during the delay (like REALLY sideways otherwise he will still hit you). If there's a rocket chair nearby you could also go near it, sometimes as a Gamekeeper I get this thing where my hook latches on the chair instead of the survivor (this may or may not have been fixed in recent updates, idk tho). Make sure to tight kite him and only transition if you know he's out of hooks.
The thing with dream witch tho is that the copies have separate trait cooldowns. So after the 1st blink hit you would get hit by another one if they catch on
so i never bought any characters so i always try doc and thief, and i exactly love open routes when being chased , and i believe thief should be A tier if his flash light doesnt run out
I'm a solo Thief in the A-20 atm and wow I'm getting bad luck with my randoms lately, they go down 5 seconds into a kite and always ending up getting a draw or a loss nowadays. :(
Good video but there's one "little" problem. Thief isn't that hard to counter,most of NA server players just doesn't know how to do it and those who know this way doesn't do it properly. I mean there's no need to backwards or 360 with tp, umbrella, tentacle,etc. You can just 90-120° so you can still see thief and unable to be affected by the flashlight
Ev1l Ent1ty there’s ways around it, think about this,if they look back they can’t use their abilities hence I would open kite to areas near pallets and transition like that
@@Katz007 ok thanks for this comment but it's still counters the flashlight and make thief just a normal kiter (sorry if my English sounds weird. It's my second language)
hiii, Thank you so much for this video. It's amazing 🥺🥺🥺 I just have 1 thing to ask: can you teach us how to counter Geisha with "fake teleport" trick..? This trick is already mentioned in Persway video. Like a Geisha will press the teleport button (but not tele away) to counter Thief's flashlight. Thanks a lottt
Is the flashlight of thief would be long enough to use in the entire game? Or do u still need to open a chest and get another item to use like some of the survivors?
3:45 WAIT THATS JOHN
eli is the best counter for geisha you can't change my mi-
kreacher: *hold my dong-like flashlight*
This video should be named " katz bullying hunters for 11 minutes"
Sorry for my bad english qwq
*no bad english to be found*
Accurate tho
There is no bad english in here
2:05 that transition
If the flashlight is unlimited he will be A+ tier or maybe s tier kiter
tbh they should make it last even longer since you can counter it via zoning
AS in you can make the thief walk and corner himself
Unlimited would be too much. But he does for sure need longer time on it.

Yessss thank youuu people always tell me to not use thief even though I really wanna
Ok now main Lawyer XD
But For real good vid
It’s all fun and games until the flashlight dies-
I'm having so much fun with him in rank, some matches i end up being called toxic for using him XD, is so easy to kite every hunter except for Wu Chang white form :(
Glad to see my boy thief getting some love! I basically only played him when I first started the game until coord took the spotlight.
3:37 "now this is against a top Bonbon"
ISNT THAT JOHN?!

I'm new to this game. Now I love this character. I always used lawyer because he can see the hunter from long distance
I just love it when Katz always says 'I got you.' and mean it.
Thief is always been strong but most players I've encountered or see on some fb page of idv I don't usually see thief on getting noticed like most of them focus on like prospector or someone cute like ship here ship them it's really cringe but there's the point they don't like thief cause it's really hard for most of them to master the map with moonwalk
Yeah
Im new to this game so I don't have any char than the one you get when you are newbie, this is really helpful!
Ive been rewatching all your theif guide and starting to see improvements in my playing, thank you very much for sharing, really inspiring
Thank you for thief guide Katz! I also hope there could be more thief users in NAEU.
yeah I always got hit by Joker's dash bc I start using my flashlight from medium distance...
How do you dodge gamekeeper's grab?
Corners i guess
The auto-calibration on Gamekeeper's hook is wild, if he one-taps you you could move sideways during the delay (like REALLY sideways otherwise he will still hit you).

Excitement and blink be like : Ho... so you underestimate me
Yeah, you get 1 hit, but can you get another?
Can anyone explain how to use excitement and blink
@@madhufarhat2319 lol theyre both easy to use just read the context bru
I think this is just as good as well for an overall kiting guide, good job Katz c:
loving this guide sooo much!! i love him since he's a fun kiter~ and now i can use him even better if i try to practice more and follow your guide!
0:44 no, you need good ping
Katz is the greatest TH-camr of all time
Katz said PeriodT 💅
5:07 Period no tampon end of story.
xD
So basically, flashlight the hunter and don’t let them use abilities
White changs range :0
Me: netease u better fix that
"this is against a top bonbon"
me: sees it's johnzhao omfg
The thing with dream witch tho is that the copies have separate trait cooldowns. So after the 1st blink hit you would get hit by another one if they catch on
Hunters how cen moonwallk: I will distroid dis man hol carere

As a hunter main. I hate thief now
What I wanna know is how your flashlight lasts 30 minutes
