[New Character]
New Survivor, “Prodigy” aka Kai.
Character Background: To earn a fragile sense of belonging, he obeyed every “family member’s” wish and lied for them, becoming the false miracle’s quietest accomplice.
Character Kit:
[External Trait] Compliance Test
“Prodigy” plays his harmonica to command his Hamster to create and move dirtballs. As a dirtball rolls, it grows larger and leaves a trail for 5 seconds. Hunters standing in the trail gain 8 Grime per second. “Prodigy” can strike a dirtball to launch it. When a dirtball hits an object or character, it Ruptures and creates a Rupture Area. Larger dirtballs also knock Hunters back based on their size. A Hunter’s Normal Attacks and offensive abilities can hit stationary dirtballs and large moving dirtballs, causing them to Rupture. Other Survivors can destroy stationary large dirtballs, reducing them to their smaller form. When a dirtball’s durability reaches 0, it shrinks as it rolls until it disappears.
Grime
When Grime reaches 100, his Hamster overwhelms the Hunter, rendering them unable to act. Grime cannot increase again for 10 seconds. If Grime has not increased for 8 seconds, it decreases by 15 per second.
Rupture
When a dirtball hits an object or character, Hunters within 1.5–3 meters of the Rupture gain 30–75 Grime based on the dirtball’s size. The Rupture creates a Rupture Area lasting 10 seconds, with a radius of 1–2 meters. Hunters inside gain 18 Grime per second and suffer a 55% Movement Speed reduction for 1.5 seconds. When a dirtball ruptures after being struck by a Hunter, its maximum size is reduced by 60%/40%, depending on whether the attack deals at least as much damage as a Normal Attack, and Hunters in range gain 35 Grime.
[External Trait] Kinesthetic Learning
When the dirtball reaches a large size, “Prodigy” and his Hamster work together to enter Pushing State. While in this state, “Prodigy” can leap onto the dirtball to enter Performance State.
Pushing State
With the help of his Hamster, “Prodigy’s” Movement Speed increases to 3.92 meters per second. However, the dirtball reduces his turning speed.
Performance State
In Performance State, “Prodigy’s” Movement Speed is fixed at 3.8 meters per second. He can control the dirtball as it rolls over pallets, through windows, and off high ground, but doing so reduces 15% of the dirtball’s maximum size. A Hunter’s Normal Attacks and certain abilities prioritize hitting the dirtball. “Prodigy” can leap off the dirtball at any time to return to Pushing State.
[External Trait] Deception
Deception and disguise have become “Prodigy’s” instincts for survival. As a result, he struggles to trust others and earn their trust. When healing another Survivor, the chance of triggering a calibration check increases by 50%.
