A friend asked about my ocs and since I haven't actually written everything down, this was my first time putting this much pen to paper for em, so here take a lookie see!

Some extra stuff:

- If you try to fight the penny wizard, his attacks are literally him chucking normal pennies at you (they deal an insane amount of damage, you will die)

Any novelist tips? I saw that painter can get ivy's potrait without gettimg corruption by looking at the black spot on your screen when she is chasing you. I wonder if that works on novelist since it works for seer too.

~HOW HIS KIT WORKS~ tl;dr: - you can swap places with hunter, restricted by distance - after swap, you go fast for 2.5s - decoding speed buff 10%, after 50% cipher progress, decoding speed debuff 5%

I. NOVELIST TIPS Netease was right to categorize him as an Assist survivor as that's the closest to what he is. The current meta and kit makes it so that Novelist is a jack of all trades of some sort.

a. Assist Novelist's skill [swap places with the hunter] allows him to support a kiting/containing/hunter-targeted survivor. For example, when the hunter is about to hit the survivor, evading the hit.

My best example for this is in 4:34 of this video

b. Contain After swapping with the hunter, as I mentioned, you get a speed boost. Take this as an opportunity for you to transition to a better kiting spot, pallet, or window to vault over. The reason for this as my kiting principle is, "the further you are from the hunter, the better."

c. Decoder His external trait [Foreshadowing] makes it he has a 10% decoding speed buff in the first 50% of his cipher progress. However, once it exceeds that threshold he would have a 5% decoding speed debuff. Nonetheless, it still helps in the cipher progress.

d. Rescue I find that Novelist is ideal for when rescuing is risky [countered by the likes of Ann, BonBon, and Leo]. By means, in a scenario where chaired survivor is on last chair and you're desperate for time, you can force a rescue. Tip for better rescuing, do not just swap and rescue, as much as possible, try to have an obstacle [e.g. downed pallets] between you and the hunter before swapping as it ensures the safety of the rescued survivor and yourself. just like this In the case where there isn't any obstacles near the chair, make sure to be as far away as possible from the hunter before swapping to buy a bit of time. Mentally prepare yourself for potential blink hits though as you rescue.

II. Not Getting Corruption Took me awhile to send the response because this as it's the first I have heard of this supposed technique. Anyway, oh my god, IT WORKS. it took me a sec to figure out what you mean and execute it but yeah, you're right, just make sure Ivy is like behind the black marks on your screen.

note: the first part of the vid is what I'm doing wrong while the second half is how to do it right. ~CONCLUSION~ I'm no means a pro [griffin and badgeless] at playing novelist but these are the tips and tricks I use myself.

genuinely cannot tell if this hunter was letting me go or just got cocky
