One more thing I forgot to mention is when kiting Geisha try to pickup a butterfly so you can stare at her (skill check) and it will cancel her dash. You can also transition kite in the open only if you pickup a butterfly and skill check. Also, if I wasn’t clear on what “strong pallets” are, they are pallets that hunters can’t simply go around because it takes too long (pallets that hunters are forced to break to catch up to you). Reminder time stamps are in the description. Thanks for watching I hope y’all enjoy!✨

As a Joseph main, I have some tips on how to counter me. Kiting Joseph is incredibly easy as he’s the slowest hunter. However, be aware when the Photo World opens. Try to check on the photo world every 10 secs while decoding in order to see if Joseph is about to jumpscare you. You can tell by the heartbeat if I’m close or not. So I suggest you leave the area and return only when you’re sure if Joseph won’t come back. Next is rescue your other self in the Photo World as much as possible and try to heal. Because if you don’t heal, you will get .25 damage which is enough for me to finish you off in one shot. And then, _NEVER_ loop with Joseph. Because we can easily counter loop kiting by our rewind ability. As much as possible, try to go into an area that Joseph hasn’t been in so he can’t rewind. This tip applies to all hunters. Pallets are temporary. Windows are eternal.

I love every hunter main giving counter-tips for their main. There's good in this community sometimes as well it's comforting to know

Next video should be: "how to deal with every survivor"

As an Ann main also be aware that most of us bring faster pallet breaking because survs use pallets to avoid getting stunned + hitted. Also... Please don't try to hide from Ann when she threw down her cats... We can see where you are. Yes, I am looking at you little girl that tried to hide from my cats which revealed your location. Also something about Vio which I learned playing against him: if he uses his skill from presence which sends a note wave to one side, you can actuallu stay in that gap between two of the lines to avoid getting a hit!

When Naiad can dash, make sure not to run in a straight line for too long while transitioning. I can’t tell you how many survivor’s I’ve downed (Naiad main) because they transition with around 80% humidity and don’t look back or change directions, allowing me to get a free water hit via dash.

For Violinist, another thing to think about is make sure you’re on the same side of the string as when he does his notes! When he does the encore thing, it will always go on the side opposite of him, so try and stay on the same side so that he doesnt corner you. This may be common knowledge, but I had no clue about this when I was starting out

There are also photo mains who use photoworld to their advantage when it comes to chase. Like they go in there and suddenly comeback out to jumpscare you so watch out for that. When you're kiting him and he suddenly goes to photoworld- just leave immediately. He also has a weird hitbox so you can try to juke him. And when you're going down and photoworld is up, force yourself to go down in photoworld because if he chairs you there he would have to rechair you when photoworld ends, so it buys time for you and your teammates.

I used to play Mary a lot, sometimes when you time it right you can juke her mirrors,, tight kiting isn’t too good because her mirror image can surprise you if you can’t see it when it’s merging with walls. things like naib, perfumer, ench, and even murro counter her. do not camp pallets, if she’s already used her mirror you can, but quickly transitioning is a better strategy afterwards. And you can also usually mess with marys depth perception, if she can’t see you, and she’s using her mirror from far away. There’s a good chance you can get away before she switches [if they’re not chair camping or their presence isn’t to max] do not vault constantly, don’t risk the terror shock with the mirror, Get out of her line of sight. Marys hitbox isn’t that good and if she’s just chasing you; you can most likely juke her. make sure you’re making unpredictable movements when she uses her mirror rotation. Most times if youre near buildings like eversleeping you can make your mirror image run into the building so she can’t hit you that way. if there’s a two story building kite that way! Her mirror can’t reach you and she’ll be forced to get looped

How to kite professionally: pallet spam

one thing about breaking wheel that wasnt mentioned. even if you vault a window (still 0 presence) they actually *can* leave a spike on you. idk how but as a breaking wheel main i thought it would be nice to mention it. Basically vault the window when Pollun is at a fairly far distance so you can avoid getting the spike

Idk if he mentioned this or I missed it but as a sculptor main it's also annoying when they go up stairs because they can mess up the sculpture placements sometimes. And if you're a slow vaulter then try not to vault since they can vertical statue and hit you when you get off the vault :) sculptor hit recovery is also pretty long so take advantage of that

Yall, as a joseph main, DO NOT LOOP! He had a photo card that lets him go back in time while you are looping. It’s time frame is the last 15 seconds. 🤦‍♂️ He also has a better range than other hunters! He has a 180 degree hit box for his hits.

also be careful when putting down pallets or before vaulting as wax artist can just spray you since you're just standing still

Respect for the guy how played the hunter in this video

This is literally one of the most useful idv videos out there! Thank you eli! 😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😍😍💕💕💕

Great Video Eli ☺️ The only other thing that you forgot to mention is Axe Boys full presence. When going into 2 story areas or stairs with a tree at the bottom you'll get slowed significantly so try to stay at the bottom unless he's really far away.

As a wax artist main, I see too many people forgetting that I can hit without my wax, so sometimes they get too close and I end up downing them

found your channel when I first started IDV from your season 11 hunter tier list. since then I’ve followed a ton of other IDV content creators, but I always just wanted to say that you’re absolutely one of the best out there man. amazing and informed content with super consistent quality. thanks for another great vid, easily the best kiting guide I’ve seen!

As an Axeboy/Robbie main, if you do juke the soul hit, either throw a pallet down or vault a window. When that soul gets to him he gets a speed boost so be careful of that. He also has a longer attack recovery speed and window vaulting speed compared to other hunters. When saving, try to get his soul to hit the chair. They're really accurate when they say two story areas are hard for Robbie, they're literally awful. Be very careful when vaulting in a corrupt area, because it's very easy for Robbie to hit you with a soul while you're vaulting. Hope this helped someone

Excellent video! Thank you for making such a helpful guide ☺️

i absolutely love your channel so much elio

I needed this. Thanks so much!

As a violinist I will say some ways to counter us, mostly doing this cuz the violinist in that video is usually what a new one is instead of an experienced one. - you can eat basic attacks however the prescene will get fuelled and it could be bad if you are line in sight of Antonio. -his first unlocked ability can slow you down, if you get hit by 3, that’s the max debuff you will get however it affects you more than you think, especially with ones that don’t have an ability to help you distance yourself from the violin man, he is slow but if you are slow too, then it’s bad news for you. It gets removed till you get hit though (unless he hit you before and you get downed) - be careful as an experienced one will try to predict your path, more easily in tight spaces. If you see him put down one note, you can either quickly get out there or bait a note, just avoid getting touched by it and try to keep distance. -with all that being said, the final ability will make these tips harder, he can launch a row of chords on the opposite side of the first chord and if placement is good, you will get hit. There are gaps so you could just stand there. Just be careful if he’s close or he combos that with his first ability after you get hit, then you pray. -as mentioned he is slow and you can bait a chord, breaking line of sight is a perfect tactic against a violinist, just be careful though if he is close. Antonio’s mostly bring detention and maybe confined space and will either use blink or teleport due to his slow speed. So looping May or May not be a good strategy if he realizes and use your path to his advantage. I’m not a grand expert on violinist but I’m good with him. This is just the many tactics I picked up on when I was going against survivors and sometimes other violinists. Can’t guarantee this will all work if the violinist knows a secret trick or two

Thank you for the video!! you explained everything so clearly and it was ver easy to understand

this was actually very helpful!! thank you!!

thank you so much for this video! its really helpful :D

Great video as always eli_o keep up the great work!

This is the best video. Every survivours needs to watch this you saved my rank sessions ily

really helpful video!! also 1 thing i would like to add to wu chang’s black form; personally, when im hit with the bell i like to just fail the calibration immediately so i can continue kiting/use my ability

YOOOO I NEED THIS.. PERFECT TIMING THANKS❤️

Yess I've been waiting for one of these thank you now Ill know how to kite bloody queen because she's my weakness

Some photographer kiting tips from a Joseph main (because I've seen some scary hunter players in high teirs): - If you can see their footprints, try to change up your route so that he can't loop back on you (watch/listen for his card flip) - Adding to above, many photographers like to mind-game, be careful you don't vault into them because you think they will do a card trick - A common trick survivors use is to go in and out of the photo world to evade hits - I recommend practicing with this first, but it does help if it's the only remaining option and you want to kill time - Kite in the mirror world if possible, pallets you throw down won't be used in the regular world that way - Adding to above though, make sure your character's abilities work in the mirror world. I can't remember off the top of my head all of them but I know painter can't place paintings and mech can't use controller - Lots of joseph players use blink to compensate for their lacking chase potential, so be on guard. Some also use the window blocking trait, but this is less common I'll add more later if I can think of any. Good high-tier photographer players will know when to abandon a chase and go for others or camp a chair, so heal up as soon as you're able to - you don't want any chip damage while kiting. As said in the video, photographer isn't very good at chasing, so as long as the hunter doesn't get a good start, it isn't too difficult to get a win or at least a tie. Good luck - especially in higher tiers - and happy kiting! :D

Great video, thank you so much!

As a Joseph main, tight kiting isn’t all that good to be honest, all we gotta do is walk to the closest camera mid chase and down you there. And chair your mirror, and if you’ve played him long enough, you learn how to tell which areas survivors will run to if they know they can’t save their mirror. At least that’s my point of view. Tho I will say, tight kiting after the mirror world falls is a good idea, just as long as Joseph isn’t full presence.

KZfaq recommended me this because it knows I suck at escaping lol I’ll try these tips, thank you

Since I haven’t been playing the game have 2 months i think i will need this video when i come back to the game

OMG you are the only video i found of idv that isn’t from a year ago wow

Hey that's a good looking intro dude !

I really needed that anne kiting tips! I suck at kiting anne

That Hunter you Are going against is so good

As a Feaster Main 1 problem also it does annoy us a lot it the angle of the vision, try to lose sight of him so he cannot use the tentacles to attack you Unless if the 2nd presence is unlocked, then it doesnt matter he can just press the 2nd ability button to smash without looking

Best way to deal with Bloody Queen: Stick to her real body, mirror image must be with you (your own) next to yourself when she has mirrors up and try your best to juke her incredibly small hitbox (real body)

Ty so much helped a lot 👍

Im a violinist main a tip for him is if he has his notes try to avoid long valts

the new intro 😏

As a sculptor main i suggest taking advantage of the fact that her hit expect from statues can't reach very far away

Nice vid

I sometimes use sculptors statues as a speed boost to propel me away. I am a antiquarian main btw.

Haven’t even watched it but I know imma gonna like the vid

Mannn love ur channel

thank you so much!!

Thanks I’ll use this tips

I’m bad at kiting so this helps

THANK YOU MR ELAI O!!

TRUST IN MR ELI O‼️

Loved the video Eli! I learned a lot. I usually just pallet spam all Hunters LMFAO. I appreciate the hard work! ❤️ But also, I wanted to ask, whens the next tier-list gonna drop? I’m not rushing take all the time you need but I’m just wondering if you have an idea on when you might drop it. No rush, thanks! ❤️

I kite the sculptor by using the color of the the chiseled pieces as well

Most hunters in the game can be countered by pallet spamming which literally requires no skills for survivors lol. Plus there’s too many pallets in this game, with cipher rush being a problem you don’t have time to break pallets too.

the new intro 😩

Watching this before I go play

Clerk main here! If you’re kiting against clerk or trying to transition to a better area, try not to use windows or go through pallets! She can drop those on you or block the window so she can get closer and hit you. Also when she tries to record you, don’t do any actions, best to try and loop kite her. Otherwise she’ll get two recordings to sue against you. When you’re decoding and she puts a recording on you, stop decoding, and once the recording is about to end, continue decoding. If you let the recording end before you’ve gone back on the cipher, it will block the cipher and you won’t be able to decode for a while. One last thing. If it’s endgame and she records you opening the gate, don’t stop opening it! If you do it’ll block the password thing and give her time to catch up to you. Just keep entering the password.

As a jack main move a lot and don’t camp it’s easy to hit you with foggy if your on the mini map

As a Hastur main, let me point out that you did have a point, getting hit by a basic attack from Hastur is a lot better than getting hit by the tentacle, but there is something I think you should know about kiting him, even if you find a strong pallet, you have to know that a good Hastur will put a tentacle right where that pallet is, which forces you to either leave that pallet or go to it and suddenly change your direction to waste his tentacle attack, or to dismantle the tentacle, I know he will use that to hit you with a basic attack, that's why you will stop dismantling the tentacle if he seems to be going for a basic attack to put down the pallet, then continue dismantling. If you get downed, tell your team to not rescue you... Believe me, Hastur is a master at chair guarding, and the fact that he got you down quickly means no one can save you, instead they will either speed up your rocketing, or get downed while you are still on the chair. The key to beating Hastur at all is by teamwork and decoding as soon as possible, Hastur is an anti-kiting Hunter, the only thing that will help you in kiting him is playing mind games with him, and keeping a big distance, he can't use tentacles that are too far unless you have been gazed at and you are in range of a tentacle. I hope I helped.

would you be able to make an updated version? with all of the new hunters like opera singer & night watch

Wow thank you so much i can finally be good! And hey your really good mabey we can play together one do,also i liked subscribed and commented!

thank u eli o i will 5 cipher kite every rank match now 😼😼💦👍

Me who got ts with a smiley using his charge: Sad thing is he wasn’t near me either

Okay so do just pallet spam against Hell amber and clown and game keeper and soul weaver and feaster and wu Chang and Mary and Ann and nightmare and naiad and sculptor like do I pallet spam ALL the hunters I just mentioned?

I feel like the only time I ever see any other axe boy mains is when he is the free to use character of the day 😢

Bold of you to assume i can kite.

Any tips for clerk, hermit and night watch?

Wait,what about Leo puppets,?How i need to counter them?Im struggling with his puppets...

i hate how i vault over a window, while doing so they can still hit me and when im putting down a pallet, they can still hit me which leaves me terrorshocked most of the time

whats the song you used for your intro???

Omg I took a break from idv and now I cannot kite

You shouldn’t drop that many pallets,first loop in a certain area if u can and then after a while you can reach to the pallets and close spaces but honestly this kiting is pretty bad ngl

im troubled with geisha bc she breaks pallets so fast i dont have much time to escape

Eli now: Pray and dream

Naur... when it comes to dw and u escape u just hella lucky considering she's the best hunter in the game

For some reason the first time I met sculptor I aced at kiting

I just know every one of these hunters were pissed

I need more help with naiad (it's me the dancer player btw) what if it's a really good naiad and blocks off ur few ways of leaving with the speed boost? Plus blink, i feel like she's broken and the only hunter i can't kite

11:58 wait a min... seriously?! Lol old dude is strong XD

as a little girl main who DEPENDS on her memory fragments percy is absolute nightmare fuel

Eli bring this mic back please it's more clear than my mental state

eli can you make an updated video? that would be awesome :)

Survs: this game is hunter sided Every hunter when they see child: aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Please do clerk its so difficult

I just watched the whole video and I still bad at kiting! Not bad the worst I can't even kite the hunter for 10 seconds I need to learn bro.....

Omg who tf were you playing with that actually has cerynitis’ bane 😭

1 year update!!

I would loop agaisnt Hell Ember

hellember op

Your on mobile? That gives me hope for kiting as a iOS player
