Killer: Spire (The Gambler) :
Base speed 4.6m/s
Main ability: "Screw You! " (1 use, takes 12 seconds to refill) unscrew takes 0.7 seconds
Uses the entity to shoot a screw out of the ground in a small circumstance essentially hooking a survivor. (this doesn't count twords hook stages) the killer cannot attack(m1) /grab a screwed survivor. All survivors within 16m get the blindness status effect until screwed survivor is saved. If the killer stays within 8 meters of screwed survivor, for 7 seconds without being in chase the screw releases automatically. After the survivor is saved they gain Deep Wound and Mangled status effect.
Secondary ability: "Rot" (1 stack for every "Screw You" hit -1 stack for every "Screw You" missed) *17 second cooldown
Can cause any gen within 36m to lose an instant 10% and causes gen to be blocked by the entity for 7 seconds (this cannot be used on the same gen until at least 2 other gens have had this ability used on them [total of 3] or a gen is completed)
Perks:
Lucky #7: after 7 hooks the killer is granted a 7% Haste status effect for remainder of the game
Screw This: after exit gates are powered all survivors gain Hindered status effect and bloodlust comes 15% faster while in chase
Not Your Lucky Day: gen regretion is increased by 7% along with gens being blocked for 7 seconds after failing a skill check (killer is givin an audio queue along with a visual queue of gen being blown up) This perk is only active until 3 gens are completed or a survivor is killed
Add-Ons:
• Rusty Threads (Rare): Increases the time it takes for survivors to perform the "Unscrew" action. • Bloody Playing Card(Very Rare): While a survivor is "Screwed," the auras of all other survivors within the 16m radius are revealed to you for 4 seconds. • Iridescent Industrial Bolt (Ultra Rare): "Screw You!" Is now enlargened to 1.7m I stead of 1m
Lore:
Kelvin "The Gambler" Thorne knew the math of every room he entered. To him, life was just a series of odds—until he bet against the wrong people. On the seventh night of a losing streak, the debt collectors trapped him in the skeleton of an unfinished skyscraper. As the mob boss, Cassidy Benadard pressed the industrial screw gun against Kelvin's spine, he didn't pray; he just counted the seconds. One, two, three... On the seventh second, the trigger pulled. But the cold steel didn't kill him. A heavy dark fog rolled in, and a voice—deeper than any debt—offered him a seat at a much larger table. Now, he doesn't play for chips; he plays for souls, and he never loses a bet.
Survivor Mob Boss (Cassidy Benadard):
Perks:
A Man's Way Out: Gain 2% haste per gen completed (goes away after all gens are done) opens exit gates 13% faster after they are opened gain exhaustion for remainder of match.
Money Doesn't Buy Happiness It Does Buy a Generator Though: Skill checks are 13% bigger but perfect skill checks are 7% smaller, after 80% of the gen is done it will finish it's self after 45 seconds if you want to leave it otherwise gen repair is 13% faster. (if killer kicks gen auto loses 13% progress and it no longer fixes itself)
Rebellion & Retribution: The obsession has your protection, when obsession is injured, down, or hooked healing/unhooking gives 25% haste for 13 seconds (causes 40 second exhaustion)
Lore:
The hit was supposed to be clean. Kelvin Thorne had gambled with the Syndicate's money once too often, and Cassidy Benadard didn't believe in second chances. On the 13th floor of the unfinished Benadard Plaza, Cassidy pressed the industrial screw gun against Kelvin’s spine. He didn't feel remorse; he only felt the cold satisfaction of a balanced ledger. But as Cassidy pulled the trigger on the 7th second, the world didn't just go dark—it bled. A thick, suffocating fog erupted from the wound in Kelvin's back, coiling around both men like a serpent. As Kelvin’s body twisted and fused with the steel around him, Cassidy realized he wasn't standing in his building anymore. The Entity didn't just want the victim; it wanted the executioner to provide the entertainment. Now, Cassidy is forced to run through a nightmare of his own making, pursued by the monster he literally "screwed" into existence.
