Boon: Shadow Step
Stick to the shadows and cover your tracks. - Mikaela Reid
Description
A Boon that conceals the truth.
Press and hold the Active Ability button on a Dull or Hex Totem to bless it and create a Boon Totem.
Soft chimes ring out in a radius of 24 metres.
All Survivors benefit from the following effects when inside the Boon Totem's radius:
- Scratch Marks are suppressed.
- Auras are hidden from The Killer.
- Both effects linger for 2/3/4 seconds after leaving the Boon Totem's range.
Only one Totem can be blessed by your Boon Perks at a time and all of their effects are active on the same Boon Totem.
"Stick to the shadows and cover your tracks." - Mikaela Reid
Our take
Stand inside a blessed Totem's 24 metre radius and the Killer stops reading your Scratch Marks and stops seeing your Auras entirely. Both effects hang around for 2/3/4 seconds after you walk out, so stepping out does not undo them instantly.
How to use it Payoff comes when a rotation passes through open ground and Scratch Marks are the thing you most want suppressed. Remember it only covers the Totem's 24 metre radius, so the walk to it is still exposed.
Best for Its partners are Dark Sense, A Nurse's Calling, Bloodhound and Beast of Prey, and the set is built around knowing where people are. A Survivor who would rather be invisible in transit than fast and loud is who this suits.
