Poor misguided wanderers may have come face to face with The Lich in his debut month. We gathered data on how often each of his four Powers are used in an average match.


Let’s roll! We also pulled data on the average results of dice rolls when facing The Lich. Are you luckier than this, or have you become very familiar with mimics?


If it glows, it goes. We tracked down how often totems are cleansed and blessed, as well as which maps see the most and least cleansing.
Note: Hex and Boon data only includes matches where the appropriate Perk type was used.

Until next time…

UI Adjustments

  • Slightly reduced the display size of item and offering icons to allow for more space in the HUD.
  • Updated The Huntress' Cold Wasteland Survivor outfit icons to properly reflect the texture color adjustment which was introduced in 3.1.0.

Bloodpoints do not factor into the balance in the slightest. You don't win the match because you earned more points than the other guys. That bit can be discarded if we're discussing balance.

As for the aura reading aspect, there are multiple counters. You could hop in a locker to stop your aura from being read. You can stand on the opposite side of a generator to hide your aura behind the generator's. If all else fails and you can't manage either, you can even run Distortion to hide your aura three times.

It's got quite a bit of counterplay. You have the power to completely negate the effect.

Sure. There's a couple things it does.
  1. The terror radius is replaced with the lullaby. This makes it difficult to tell how close the killer is, whether he's chasing someone or coming for you.
  2. His generator teleport cooldown is reduced by 15% each sleeping survivor. (60% total for all 4)
  3. Only sleeping survivors are affected by his traps.
  4. Certain add-ons add action speed penalties for sleeping survivors.
  5. If they are using dream pallets, you'll want to wake up often to see which are real, and toss down any fake ones you notice next time you fall asleep.
There's no penalty to waking up; it's not like the Plague where cleansing makes her more powerful. Waking up only benefits the survivors.

You should actually keep your offering. If won't be equipped, but you should still have it. Basically the game does this:
  • You use an offering
  • The offering is immediately removed from your inventory
  • Someone crashes or loses connection while loading
  • The game notices that someone's missing and cancels the match
  • Anyone still in the match at that point receives a copy of whatever they used
Unless you are the person who lost connection or crashed, you should still have your offering. It won't be equipped because the one you had was used and you were then given a new one, but it'll be in your inventory. If this is not happening, please let us know and we'll investigate.

If you're referring to movement speed, no. Your speed is the same regardless of your framerate. Whether the game is running at 10 FPS or 100 FPS, you'll move at the exact same speed.

This will happen any time a new killer is added (or reworked, in Freddy's case). A lot of people want to play the new killer and there's just not enough survivors to fill the lobbies. It should gradually return to normal over time, but there's not too much we can do; at the end of the day we're limited by how many survivors are available to put in your lobby.
