This article compiles some beginner-friendly tips for Identity V, aimed at helping new players familiarize themselves with various characters and mechanics.
1. Overpowered Equipment in Duo Hunters Mode: Magic Wand + Ball
In Duo Hunters mode, combining the Magic Wand (which grants invisibility) with Forward’s rugby ball allows for significant distance to be covered while invisible. Adding the "Cloud Walker" trait further enhances this combo. While the Hunter is searching for the real survivor, the survivor can already be far away, even beyond tinnitus range.
2. Mechanic's Doll Is Immune to Water Vapor
The Mechanic’s doll isn't affected by water vapor. New Mechanics can confidently use the doll for kiting without worrying about positioning to avoid water vapor effects.
3. Utilizing Joseph's Camera World for Kiting
In matches against Joseph, survivors can kite within the Camera World. This strategy conserves resources in the real world. If a survivor is chaired in the Camera World and it collapses, the Hunter must re-chair them in the real world, and their health resets. However, golden rocket chairs can eject survivors from the Camera World. Note: Joseph typically avoids chasing on flat terrain unless he has Blink.
4. Ranked Treasure Gold Rate Tied to Rank
The probability of obtaining gold items from ranked treasures increases with your rank. Higher-ranked players have a better chance of receiving gold rewards.
5. Journalist's Little Orpheus Counters Certain Abilities
The Journalist’s Little Orpheus can neutralize the Apostle’s cats and dispel the Nightmare’s crows. If marked by a crow, activating the skill again will remove the mark. This is highly practical in matches.
6. Charity Runner's Slow Vault Triggered Only When Not Running
The Charity Runner doesn't trigger slow vaults while running. To activate a slow vault, you must switch to walking or crouching.
7. Pallets Safer Than Windows
Between identical terrain features, pallets are slightly safer than windows. Once you've halfway vaulted over a pallet, you're safe from attacks. However, with windows, you must fully vault to avoid hits, making it easier for Hunters to land hits during the vault.
8. Puppeteer's Fearless Trait Counters Various Effects
The Puppeteer's "Fearless" trait can counteract water vapor, wax, the Hermit's electricity, and more. It's as effective as the Flywheel effect in these situations.
9. Flywheel Effect and Gamekeeper's Second-Stage Hook
Using the Flywheel effect to counter the Gamekeeper's second-stage hook prevents the hook from entering cooldown, as if it hit a structure. Therefore, it's more beneficial to use Flywheel to dodge attacks rather than the hook itself.
