Inspired by the dark mangas created by her father, The Skull Merchant relentlessly hunts her prey using the latest in surveillance technology.
The Skull Merchant begins the match with six Drones. Press the Power button to deploy a Drone, which conducts an invisible, continuous sweeping scan. Deploying a Drone grants Undetectable for 8 seconds. If a Survivor is detected, the Drone becomes active, which makes the Drone's scan lines visible. Once detected by a scan line, a Survivor gains scan immunity and cannot be detected by other scan lines for 3 seconds.
Survivors can attempt to hack Drones. Failure activates the Drone and partially fills their Lock On meter; Success disables the Drone for 45 seconds.
SPECIAL ABILITY: RADAR
Press the Ability Button to open a Radar to see the locations of Survivors detected by Drones and those with Claw Traps. The Radar can be used to change a Drone's rotation direction or to recall a Drone.
Each Survivor detected on the Radar increases The Skull Merchant's movement speed.
SPECIAL EFFECT: LOCK ON
The Lock On meter fills when scanned by a Drone and when failing to disable a Drone. When the meter is full, the Survivor receives a Claw Trap, becomes Injured, and suffers from the Broken status effect. Additional scans briefly apply the Hindered status effect.
A Claw Trap broadcasts the Survivor's location to the Killer and is only removed when its battery dies.
