B Where it sitsPlayable and fair, with a hole you can see from orbit

Running from a wedding and killed by the iron below, she lingers pierced by the spears that ended her life and promises others the same fate. Her damage comes from a distance and from prediction, not from a chase.

Power

Pierced Vow

Switches from her dagger to the spears lodged in her body. Hold to wind up and charge a spear; a headshot slows the survivor 30% for 1 second and it reaches maximum power after one second. She holds two spears, recharging every 15 seconds, and cannot interact with props or carry survivors while in this stance.

Through the Veil

After charging a spear for up to two seconds, she transfers it to the other world so it ignores collisions and passes through walls, flying lighter, harder and further. Cooldown 45 seconds, reduced by 5 for every spear that hits.

Personal perks

Piercing Reverie Level 15

Each time a survivor is spiked for the first time, block the highest-progress generator for 18 seconds, reveal it in white and speed up its regression by 50% for 60 / 70 / 80 seconds.

Blood Between Worlds Level 30

When a survivor loses a health state, the two highest-progress generators regress at 125 / 150 / 175% of normal speed for 16 seconds, and anyone working them suffers an 8% repair slowdown. Cooldown 45 seconds.

Echo Of The Void Level 45

A survivor within 150 studs who looks at you for 1.5 / 1.2 / 0.9 seconds triggers a sound cue, has their aura revealed for 4 seconds, and sees the world in monochrome. Cooldown 40 seconds.

How to play it

Aim where the survivor must go, not where they are: vault exits, pallet gaps, corridors, stairways and generator corners. Do not throw both spears at once, with two in reserve you are a threat, with none you are a slow 110% killer. Use Through the Veil when someone feels safe behind cover, and treat a headshot as a chase extender rather than a kill.

How to beat it

Strafe side to side against an inexperienced Veil and her spears miss. Cluttered maps, pallets, vaults, objects, are bad for her. Watch for the sound cue that now plays when she aims and when she activates Through the Veil. Remember she cannot carry you or interact with anything while holding spears, so that stance is your window.

Where it sits

Playable and fair, with a hole you can see from orbit

The only killer in the game who puts a spear through a wall, and a headshot extends a chase from across the map. Highest ceiling here and the harshest floor: burn both spears and you are just a 110% killer holding a dagger.
