[New Hunter]
Name: "Ivy"
Identity: The Shadow
Character Background: Once the friend left, that bizarre journal provided the perfect explanation for Ivy's symptoms, and the "gifts" of the Yithian brought her to a distant place.
External Traits:
- Ancient Visage
When Survivors see "Ivy's" visage from within 15 meters, Corruption increases by 4 every second.
Corruption
Once Corruption reaches 100, Survivors will move involuntarily for 2.5 seconds. If Survivors are within "Ivy's" Terror Radius during this period, they will move slowly toward "Ivy" for 2.5 seconds. Once Survivors escape "Ivy's" Terror Radius for 3 seconds, Corruption decreases by 10 every second. Within a 24-meter range of the Rocket Chair where the Survivor is seated, the rate of Corruption growth is 0.7 times the normal rate.
- Phantasm
The Yithian occupies the body known as "Ivy" and can merge and separate from it at will. All Survivors suffer from an obscure vision within "Ivy" or Yithian's Terror Radius.
Yithian
The Yithian can separate from "Ivy's" body and be controlled independently. Survivors cannot see the Yithian before it emerges from "Ivy." Yithian's Terror Radius is 50% of "Ivy's" Terror Radius and does not trigger Heartbeat. The Yithian can move quickly and fly through pallets and windows but cannot perform normal attacks or interactions.
Tier 0 Ability:
- Mind Transference
The Yithian separates from "Ivy" and becomes the new playable character. When the Yithian is separated from "Ivy," you may switch between the Yithian and "Ivy" at will. When controlling "Ivy," using an ability will make the Yithian return and merge with "Ivy."
- Revelation (Cooldown: 15 seconds)
When controlling "Ivy" or the Yithian that hasn't infected a Survivor, using an ability reveals the "Ancient Visage" briefly. When controlling the Yithian that has infected a Survivor, hold the ability button to select a location and reveal the "Ancient Visage" to Survivors for a brief period. If Survivors see the "Ancient Visage" from within 15 meters, they will be interrupted and gain 40 Corruption.
- Psychic Intrusion
The Yithian can infect Survivors. Each Survivor has a cooldown of 40 seconds between each infection. Upon infecting a Survivor, the Yithian will attach to the Survivor, stealing all available information and quick messages from the Survivor and generating a mark below the Survivor. The mark will display the Survivor's camera direction. After a successful infection, the infected Survivor generates a Corrupted Ostracon. The Corrupted Ostracon cannot be destroyed within 30 seconds of its creation.
Corrupted Ostracon
Survivors within 10 meters of the Corrupted Ostracon are affected by it and gain 9 Corruption every second. There can be up to 5 Corrupted Ostracons at a time. When the limit is exceeded, the Corrupted Ostracons will be destroyed in the order they were generated. Corrupted Ostracons can exist for up to 150 seconds.
- Interdimensional Travel
"Ivy" can teleport to undamaged Corrupted Ostracons. Each Corrupted Ostracon has a teleportation cooldown of 45 seconds.
Tier 1 Ability:
- Parasitic Desire
Survivor infection cooldown is reduced to 30 seconds.
Tier 2 Ability:
- Corruption Transference (Cooldown: 30 seconds)
"Ivy" releases the "Ancient Visage's" effects in an area around the Corrupted Ostracon after teleporting, increasing the Corruption of nearby Survivors by 40.

Penalties for Violations
It has recently come to our attention that a small number of players have violated our code of conduct through delaying tactics, intentionally losing, idling, malicious group battle (for delays), playing negatively, using cheats, cheating in Blackjack mode, and hindering matchmaking for top-ranked matches, all of which significantly affect the experience of other players. We have started punishing these violations in order to provide a healthy gaming environment for everyone. We also encourage you to use the in-game reporting system when encountering the behaviors above. Let us work together to maintain order and integrity in the Manor.
