The Twisted Skills are special abilities available to all Players during the Twisted Masquerade Anniversary Event, if they participate in Trials of the special Event Queue.
Their first iterations were introduced during the Twisted Masquerade 2023 (Seventh Year Anniversary).
Overview[]
The Twisted Skills are inextricably linked to the Masquerade Pillar
mechanic, requiring Players to collect at least 1 Invitation Scroll floating atop said Pillar to unlock the Twisted Skills.
They can be used at the Player's discretion by pressing the Event Ability button when having at least 1 Token, after which they go on cool-down for 30 seconds.
They are disabled during the Endgame Collapse
.
Survivor Abilities[]
Survivors have a choice of 3 different Twisted Skills, depending on their surroundings:
Block Window Vault[]
This special ability can only be used mid-chase and causes the target Window
to become unvaultable for the Killer for 4 seconds after you vault through it.
Set Party Pallet[]
This special ability can be used whenever you are within 8 metres of an empty Pallet location and creates a fragile Party Pallet.
The Party Pallet can be used just like a regular one, but will instantly break upon dropping it.
While this can still stun the Killer, it is risky to use it and requires good timing.
Quiet Mode[]
This special ability suppresses the sound of your Grunts of Pain, footsteps and rushed actions, and the creation of Pools of Blood for the next 15 seconds.
Killer Abilities[]
Killers have a choice of 4 different Twisted Skills, depending on their surroundings:
Expose Survivor[]
- This ability was only available during the 2023 iteration of the Twisted Masquerade.
This special ability granted the Killer the ability to inflict the chased Survivor with the Exposed
Status Effect once they gained Bloodlust
.
Endure Stun[]
This special ability grants the Killer a unique version of the Endurance
Status Effect, making them impervious to any Stuns for the next 4 seconds.
Remote Destroy[]
This special ability allows the Killer to remotely destroy a nearby Breakable Wall
or a dropped Pallet
within 8 metres.
Remote Hook[]
This special ability allows the Killer to remotely hook a downed Survivor onto the nearest available Hook
.
