I think her new best playstyle is 1) still set up drones in advance but not so they can act as traps that surprise survivors, but to be there specifically where it only covers half the loop, that way you can still pop a drone in the chase but you’ll have 1 already set up, which should cover the whole tile (as opposed to having to set up 2 drones mid chase which gives survs a chance to leave) And 2) let lock on scans be something that trickles itself throughout the match as opposed to something that maxes out in a single chase. Personally, because I use brown noise generator the random claw traps mid match give me lots of opportunities for stealthy downs. Mind you this only works if survivors get scanned outside of chase which for some reason still happens lol
1:05 Btw scan line don't spawn where the skull merchant face anymore However it spawn in skull merchant right soooooo u could just look left to make it go directly at the survivor when they need another additional scan They do that as a nerf but I easily figure it out 😭😭😭
@@Pinkyc0rn332cuz when I put drone the line start in skull merchant rights so I just look left to laser tag 😭 tbh this makes skull merchant sooo fun like I be looking wired directions just to get 5 haste when I chase survivor Honestly I don't think skull merchant is weak and I don't it because skull merchant get new power to work with but I think she more fun now (I hate the speed penalty tho 4.4 is ass)
I think she needed small tweaks to make her feel easier on newer players but what they did was a joke honestly they could have nerfed the length of her haste gain and removed her undetectable so she feels more chase oriented
Something has to change, she was basically drop drone win loop, she would eventually get a speed boost and you would eventually get hindered, no counter other then hold W and run to the next loop.
I play a lot of Skull Merchant and my build with her is Stbfl, play with your food, rapid brutality, and dissolution and man oh man, all those speed nerfs when you look at your radar doesnt even matter, i was zooming on rpd and going against a swf that brought me to that map and theg literally gave up at 4 gens because everyone was on a final hook, but i only let a Adam leave because he kept tossing rocks for me to chase.
I played the reworked skull merchant it was pretty rough I had to adapt a new playstyle they really butchered her to much, also Im new to your channel and Im been learning to play skull merchant through your vids
@@shimizo_mai yeah it is pretty rough to play her in the new style if you’re not used to it🥴, but oh my God that makes me so happy! More videos on the way with the new skull merchant! 😊😊🩵
If they remove the 4.4 speed (for me it's terrible and makes you not want to use the radar) and replace the fast valt with the slow valt, that would be good...
Thank you for letting me know about the timestamps LOL! Also, I have a big feeling its for skull merchant! It makes the most sense I feel. It might also be for Artist too :p
also I forgot to mention but I started watching your content because I started to get interested in skull merchant after I saw there would be a dragula collab. I never comment so I doubt I'll do it again, but I love your videos and energy bisou from france
Ive been running moniter and using her as a stealth killer, since using her drones feels awful, that with her 20% increase to undetectable addon she is atleast decent. Im sorry but her getting slower when looking at the radar feels AWFUL and it doesnt feel worth it to try and get the scan i just leave the drone and chase them normally (on the upside i can use bloodlust again) i really hope they atleast remove that penalty because thats whats really holding this version of her back (and her lack of being able to scan a vaulting survivor witch good survivors are already abusing)
To be honest, I understand why they added the slow down when you’re checking the radar, but I feel like you don’t really need it because either way you’re probably already getting slow down by looking at the drone and not the survivor. But yeah the slowdown when checking radar and rotating drones really is like the most annoying part of skull merchant right now it’s like the game is punishing you for using the power the way they intended you to do 😂😂😂
the new player tips are pretty rubbish and not that many people have played against her. I would assume its because its their first time against her and have no idea how her power works, or even they might just have never learnt to play against her because they usually dc. I only knew you could crouch it after I saw it in an otz compilation. I mean it sort of looks like you're supposed to try and dodge it by like running with it, thats what I thought at first.
@@SecureBirch410ok but they arent stupid idk about you but if i see a drone i dont try to get scanned i avoid it not to mention its pretty easy to figure out that white= you dont get scanned
@@danielorlovaquinn yeah but also who'd have thought a random ass drone spinning in circles would injure you? Plenty of survivors might just not care, they probably think it will just slow them down/reveal their location or something. Hell they might not even know you can disable them.
We will keep going next on first hook against her, just to make sure the actual rework will gut her into oblivion :))) May her become something that takes actual skill.
I loved the part of pobrecita esa 😅😅😅😅yo hablo español ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻9:03

Survivors are still gonna complain that she gets a “free” hit because they were stupid and got scanned 3 times by the one giant rotating beam
@@thatfishguy4991 oh trust me I had those exact same words said to me last night, it was really pathetic lol

its probably because the scan line goes so fast it doesnt even scan the survivor fast enough and passes them 😭

Ate them up as always
Some things never change 😘🥰💙
Sad they gutted this killer. SM didn't need a change, people needed to learn instead of Dcing, but it became a gimmick

Oh yeah haste builds work very well with her! I can’t imagine it helps make her radar checking slowdowns more tolerable too 😂😊

To be fair it sucks playing survivor so I will be playing killer and have fun instead of torturing myself with unwinnable solo que matches
Solo que is a hell, SWF is op. Perfect balanced

@@Henri_Green that would be the perfect next changes for her now!
hi there's a problem with the description and time stamps, cool video tho ! i wonder if the boulet brothers skin will be skull merchant

I hope you forgive me pinky for being late ;_;
but my excuse is that I'm at Pax!
@@spiritupgrades Hmm… you have been excused for now 😈😋
Yknow, I don't go against skull merchants often, but even i know how to counter her drones!! how are ppl getting scanned OUTSIDE of chase?!?!! 😭😭
I don’t know especially right now when drones have only one scan line. You have no excuse now getting scanned outside of chase 😭😭

Cool. Good luck with that lol.
yeah uh.. whos we? bc i sure as shit aint going next
If youre struggling against her now, if anything the rework is gonna be even worse for you, but yes give up on first hook king slay
Grow up
Do you get any pussy bro. Like, this killer is as bad as Freddy now. There is no way you are still complaining.
