      ​@Oliver1269ii fair assumption but I played for about 2 hours on ptb, then another 2 ish hours on live just to compare. Ptb to live is barely any different anyways.

    houndsense makes your grunts of pain louder. thats it. thats literally it. you send the dog to search a gen, and then they just keep repairing the gen, because the dog doesnt do anything reasonable to make people leave the generators. houndsense is useless and chase command is the most bugged think i have ever saw in a videogame

    I've been playing her a lot, and finding a lot of success. So here's some tips, despite her bugginess.
    Houndsense does a few things:
    1. Reveals Survivors with Killer Instinct from any distance when first detected. It even detects inside of lockers.
    2. Highlights them in bright red so they cannot hide whatsoever and are easy to follow.
    3. Injuring a healthy survivor puts them into Deep Wound.
    4. Downing an injured survivor makes their blood pools last longer, be more frequent, and their sounds of pain to be louder.
    Search can be used on active generators, incomplete generators, active hex totems, the exit gates when powered, and generally anywhere within your terror radius. (Yes the limit is based on your terror radius, so if you increase it, the range you can just send increases)
    The trail for Search raises your movespeed to 7 from 4.6. This is faster than any other killer can move normally while still being allowed to basic attack and do normal interactions. Entering a chase cancels the effect, so obviously it's designed to get around the map quickly; even if you're not going an "optimal path", going 7 ms is insane map traversal.
    Chase can be used on a Survivor about to vault a window or pallet and it will instead injure them, this applies the Deep Wound from Houndsense, and can down already injured survivors. I have to test it further, but I think it also applies things that apply from basic attacks; it could just be special attacks only.
    Landing a Chase hit can be used to get a survivor out of the way if you're chasing someone else, preventing their body blocking.
    Even though a Survivor in Deep Wound is held by the dog for less time, during that time their Deep Wound timer is decreasing and three chase hits will guaranteed down a Deep Wounded survivor.
    Fatty Meat add-on adds a new utility to Houndsense, in that Survivors will scream during it. They scream a total of three times over the course of base Houndsense, or four times if you also have the Training Manual.
    1. When first detected.
    2. 15 seconds in (half way)
    3. 30 seconds in (end)
    4. With Training Manual, 45 seconds (new end)
    During this time, Survivors cannot do objectives that take longer than 15 seconds without being interrupted, as even though the screams don't give a loud noise notification, they're still screams and still interrupt actions normally. They can interrupt cleansing totems, booning totems, opening chests, healing, and doing generators (and potentially cause a failed skillcheck).
    There's also no cooldown on how often a Survivor can be affected by Houndsense, with the exception that if they're currently sensed by it, the effect cannot be refreshed unless they're hit or it wears off first. They can still be detected by the killer instinct, however.
    If the exit gates are open and a Survivor is taunting you, if you land a Chase hit on them, they *cannot escape* while the dog is on them, and for an additional *6 seconds* after they are injured. If they were healthy, this is enough time to land a second chase if you're fast enough, and if they were downed, it is enough time to pick them up. With Save the Best for Last or her Knotted Rope add-on, the pick up will be guaranteed.

    @SeeNogDBDYT 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Houndsense marks survivors the dog has searched for, for a limited time. Addons may vary for more effects such as screaming.
    Also what's really sad is me and the 12 other twins mains have been wanting a new outfit for Victor but they can't cause victor is a power. Meanwhile Hound mom gets her dog a new model from day 1.

    2:02 - 2:06 is hilarious because the dog falls in the hole in the corner and when he uses Chase it tries to follow the path *on the wrong fucking floor*

    Since Thursday I've played well over 20 trials. Only to face one Houndmaster. Tunneled me out off hook twice. Snug is awfully hit or miss when chasing/searching but I'm sure he's a good boy.

  • @SillyTillar
    @SillyTillar 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Houndsense idea.
    If the survivor is caught in the weird houndsense instinct that causes the deep wounds.
    If you hit Chase while that is active Snug will instead jump the survivor and damage them, dragging is only for survivors who don't have that ticking houndsense counter, allowing for skillful quickly following up on your houndsense with a chase command(This is if you fix the Snug taking a century to return thingie.)
    And please let Snug passively jump pallets or teleport between floors to get back to you, like if you were above him and he didn't have a order he could poof up in a fog of entity smoke to the floor you are on then run to you.

    I can see boring ngl. But her power isn't bad imo, her dog is pretty good antiloop (chase) and gen patrol (search). I use her search just for intel of how many and where survivors are. Not including the insane haste buff you get (dog searches to location AND back including inside lockers.) I will say getting the dog where u wanna go is buggy asf but if you're patient it works. Chase will down if they are mid action (vaulting ect.) and the dog grabs them. maybe just dont send snug across the map unless ur following trail. what you are talking about to unlock snug's "potential" thats just the knight as a dog?? I would find it cool if at the end of the search path being able to be snug and lunge at someone for a grab maybe. that would give you almost a guaranteed chase?

    • @CycloopsDBD
      @CycloopsDBD  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Your idea is actually pretty good. If snug actually had some threat through the search command she would be much better.

    I honestly thought the killer was aesthetically unpleasing to me. Haven’t really played the game in a while. The competitive direction of the game made me put it down. But I’m sorry behavior gave you a bad chapter.

  • @dmitrijstrofimovs2596

    She is boring and badly designed because she is M1 killer with no anti-loop, mediocre power that works 50 % of the time, and very telegraphed map mobility (kinda obvious where you plan to go if the dog is searching there) only good addons are iridescent ones which are hard to get and the only good iridescent addon is the one that trades mobility for undetectable.
