Ah, I forgot to add teleport in one part, so lemme just add it here: Blink: 180 Seconds Quenching Thirst: 190 Seconds Teleport: 195 Seconds Excitement: 200 Seconds Patroller: 210 Seconds

Another tip is that if the seer sends “forget about saiving, go for the tie”, it means that the hunter can make damage without using normal attacks

1) dungeon has different speeds when opening: faster when all remaining teammates leave via exit gate, slower when all remaining teammates are eliminated. 2) breakable walls remove crow (from being idle), same as using gardener's skills. 3) break the walls in red church as pre-emptive measure as those zones are dead kiting zones 4) when the hunter is dream witch, take the leech hit and not from the main follower. also, "prime" the deleeching as this requires the hunter to take additional steps especially during end-game 4) if the hunter is mary, you hear the mirror cue and you're decoding, stay away from the cipher as a pre-emptive measure and make sure the mirror is not facing you 5) save your resources for endgame: elbow pads, mech bot, football, etc are essential for end-game 6) know when to heal and not to heal. there has been way too many instances wherein the teammate kiting is dead on chair, but people choose to heal up instead of priming a cipher

Some things I’d like to add for specific hunters: Against Percy, don’t escape a chase through a priestess long portal if ur not the priestess. Percy only needs to down you to chair you. Escaping thru the portal is giving Percy a free chair, and instantly puts you one step closer to elimination. Against Joseph as barmaid, don’t drink after taking your first hit while kiting. The drink only lowers your fear by 1/2, so it’ll leave you at 1/4 injury, which is still OME hit away from being downed for Joseph. Drinking does nothing to extend your kite in this case, and it only wastes your drink. Save your drink until you get rescued, or if you escape the chase give it to someone who needs it more, or wait until he takes a photo to drink. (This seems like common sense but I’ve seen way too many barmaids drink after taking their first hit) I’ll add on more if I think of more, and if anyone else has more feel free to comment them here :)

The tip for delaying rescues i didn't know you can make chair time so long.. unfortunately people i get matched with even insta rescue like not buying time at all:/

That one about "dont dance at the exit gate" got me tbh. I have faced enough survivors (both as a surv and a hunter because dual faction) who emote at the exit gate, and its so painful when they do the confused emote and then eat shit when hunter downs them. Like okay, maybe the hunter had a really bad game and they couldn't down anyone, or maybe you guys are a good team. Though, emoting kinda... fuels the spite the hunters have and if its a BQ, you're bound to go down lmao (I say this as a spiteful BQ main because I hate when surv mains emote and eat shit after. Like damn, if the exit gate is open, LEAVE.) But yeah its more of a psa because survs keep doing it: unless you're a merc who's fully healed or you're there to body block anyone who's being chased, LEAVE THE MATCH. Don't emote or else karma will bite you in the ass. (also I didn't knew you can remove Wax Artist's wax like. Holy shit?? thats wild UDHRFIRE)

two tips: 1. merc. some people don't know that until he reaches an "injured" state, borrowed time will not work on him. so pop the ciphers accordingly. also, if a merc did the last rescue before cipher pop, BODYBLOCK FOR HIM. you want a mercenary to be at full health during detention, just in case. second, a scenario: 3 alive. 1 chaired, 1 decoding and 1 injured. what you should do: depends as always. typically the uninjured survivor will want to decode the last cipher so if the hunter teleports to them, they won't get downed. (but it also depends on who is the nearest to the chair.) so how should the injured survivor rescue? you do NOT let the hunter see you, just hide nearby and give tinnitus. don't be seen no matter what. the plan is to wait for the cipher to be primed, go in for the rescue, get downed and then the cipher will pop and THEN you will rescue. just adding this because my teammates don't ever understand what to do in this situation and end up throwing 🥲

Also, this isn't really much of a tip but if possible, use a skin that seems dark or blend in with the map xD I remember I use a dark skin for FO and Geisha was trying her best to find me since I wanted to do a detention rescue. I managed to do it in the end. It helps a bit considering some maps are dark.

Note: whenever you decode a cipher; assume blink is up. It takes roughly 1 min to decode a cipher depending on who you’re playing. usually when I approach 69% decoding progress, I let my teammates know blink will be up soon. Also, if you do a good kite and the hunter hasn’t blinked, look behind to see the position of the hunter for a potential blink. It’s hard, but definitely doable

6:02 I surprised you know this trick :o But this trick is really useful against Polun (Breaking Wheel) when he camping the chair with Wheel form in order to give the chaired survivors 2 spikes so he/she cannot kite longer. I would recommend you doing this when it's Polun, and the best moment you should rescue is when he change the wheel form into the normal form. Great tips so far, thanks a lot for making this!

dancing around a cipher is lowkey so much fun though LOL the adrenaline....

If you're gardner (with bubble) or seer (with owl) you can rescue with detention too but it's more risky in case you're dealing with a meta hunter

I always use gardener bc she is rlly good rescuing! when she has the bubble she cannot take a terror shock, and is rlly good when u have to rescue while the hunter has detention

Memorize the maps. Learn strength and weakness of every character in game(Hunters and Survivors) Focus on winning the game not escaping,don't focus on escaping by yourself Master survivors that could kite and harass the hunter. Learn the tips and tricks for hunters This seems alot but its the only way to truly become the ultimate survivor, as the ultimate survivor is the one the team could rely on💪💪💪💪

Omg this guide was amazing. It was very informative and I will definitely put these into practice. Congrats on 100 subs! 🎉

Thank you for the video! It's really useful like that tip to use the surrender button as a timer is just so five-head omg. The lwaving a primed cipher to an injured player is also the one i never noticed could change the game thanks for your hard work!

I have been playing this game for 2 years and didn't know almost any of these tips, thanks, they were all really helpful for me! :D

the streets needed this thank you

this is the best guide i’ve ever seen the rocket chair timer tip blew my mind thank you so much!! i love your videos

i wanna add some very very niche tips too that i dont see people do except for really high tiers or me 1) When you try to execute a detention rescue because hunter moved away from it and youre on the other further gate to the chair, take the "back" route aka the long route to get there since 98% of hunter would use the quickest route from the other gate to the other, and if you plan to do it, please atleast let the detention have around 30-50 secs remaining, you can go earlier if you have a stun item since most hunter wouldve changed their excitement to teleport or blink 2) if you are bodyblocking for a teammates that's dead on chair, dont be afraid to trade your first chair for their last one, this way there would atleast be 3 or even better, 4 of you alive at late game, which could mean a win or at the very least, a tie 3) if its late game, and theres only 2 of you left and one of you get chaired, dont be afraid to risk rescuing since either way youre gonna get a lose so risk the 1 man escape for a tie 4) This is specifically for painter user, use your painting after vaulting a window if the hunter is a bit far from you, itll force them to vault the window and you can revault it before they vault, if youre lucky they might have confined space which would force them to change target or take the long route to continue chasing you (best map to this on is Red Church Main building windows) 5) Another rescue one (damn i dont even know i have alot of rescue tips), try to stay out of a camping hunter tinnitus range until youre ready to rescue, this could open the window for the hunter to go away from the chair to "proxy camp" so you could rescue safely 6) If a teammate brings 129 (BW+ Flywheel) and is getting the last chase before cipher pop and youre close to them, dont be afraid to get 1- 2 hits for them if you have borrowed time since you would be able to get up again once the cipher gets primed, the 126 teammate would not which would get chaired and it will all go downhill from there I think thats all the tips i have that i dont see anyone do except for me (Funfact, im a painter main who use flywheel and broken window so i could kite 3-4 cipher min and 5 cipher max)

I think this is the most helpful tutorial for people who are starting out with idv! I hope everyone who plays idv gets recommended this 😭✋

This guide is the most useful I have found. Good job 👍👍

There I am. Was looking for which video you included the delaying-chair-time clip when I played as Melly for you. Finally found it lmaooo.

Thank you sm for these tips

i think the video is great. I actually knew all of it but it was still nice to remind myself оf it :) I think you should do the next part, perhaps including some characters interactions, like priestess big portal+perfumes etc..

Here are my tips: On a contrary to the vid's tip dont waste pallets. Dont drop them if you aren't kiting. And dont drop god pallets unless ur life depends on it. It ruins a kite- risks a ts-and overall a bad time. Maximize their value and mind game the crap out of them to waste time. There are certain chairs that give the hunter an advantage other than basement. Dead chairs are chairs that make camping so much easier since it limits a survivor's movement or there is no where to run after you get rescued. Cipher chairs are chairs that allow the hunter to camp you and harass ciphers nearby. There are situations where bodyblocking is harmful. It doesn't guarantee safety and it may even give the hunter an advantage by delaying your team and feeding them presence . And there are some hunters where you have to bodyblock differently- with ann rescuers shud take the cat and mind distance, with ripper's foggy blades you have to make distance so that it wont pierce the both of you. Mercenary shouldn't be blocking hits from Joseph and clown unless you have a healer. When your tideturner turns red from a failed bodyblock you have to switch with your rescuer and bodyblock them to avoid a double-down.

the triggering tinnitus at one gate while your teammates run to the other gate can also be useful if you are explorer and there's grass and the hunter relies mostly on normal hits

Tysmm!! ❤

I'm glad I'm not the only one who took the not leaving injured survivors at the last cipher advice. Knew this way before watching this.

Hello I came here from your Reddit's post and has been wondering what your channel is so I'm glad to finally able to find it and I just wanna say, thanks a lot for making this tips, although most of it I do know, the one with the cooldown on surrender's button is really neat, I do heard about it before but had no idea how exactly it worked so with your guide, it helped me to learn a lot about it. Now I just hope that those random know how to play according to your guide because being a solo in low tier, it can be really hard or tricky to pull any of this correctly. And because I'm late to the party, allow me to just sending you a congratulations note for your 200 subs! Keep up your great job on being a wonderful idv player and a good Idv youtuber, I wished you well in your journey. Btw I'm not sure if you've done this already but if you're a Perfumer, you can removed the cat the same way you did with the crow so there's that if you want to counter Ann as her.

Loving the honesty of the title 🤣

thank you!

I fell in love with your guide videos they help so much, and I would love to play with you by chance cause you are a pro compared to randoms lol

THANKYOUUUUU

That chair hack is so smart, might do that n hope my goofy self doesn't get terrorshocked mid release ☻️

Love it !!

thank you so much!

Omg a video about the characters explorer counters? AYO?

2:32 Some randoms use (cipher is primed)when blink is ready

The thing about decoding the cipher when the hunters' are camping it. The first time it happened to me, I saw someone decode another cipher and and another teammate and I were "trying" to decode that cipher the hunter was camping. To kinda buy time and make sure she doesn't notice the other cipher.

Love 💗

I main feaster so if you could do some tips for him I would love to keep mastering him. Even tho he’s slow and a good build for him too. The higher I go in tiers the less I wanna play him. He’s so easy to kite or loop.

another thing with healing downed teammates, you can actually heal someone before tide turner ends, so sometimes it could be a good idea to heal downed people

Omg thanks ❤❤❤❤

The locker thing is so good tho

I'm a perfumer main and I didn't know about perfuming crows... ....

Will you do a rescue guide? Or maybe a guide on how to kite certain hunters? :')

a little jospeh trick: if you get downed while photoworld is active, crawl into photoworld, he will not be able to chair you or force you out if you keep crawling out. Most Joseph players dont realize this, so you will waste a lot of the hunters time, espcially on lower tiers

I learned a lot that I got overload 😂

I learned a lot about explorer

This is all great advice! I solo in rank so I'm trying to get better, but this also makes me want to team up now since I know so many people don't really grasp mind gaming.

THANKS '3'

I see you ping ‘get out of here’ when a teams angers you as well 😂

While nightmare’s crow is on a cipher, you can also use mechanics bot to remove the crow!

Bout to become Rantaro with these tips

Bro I'm nearly unicorn and i didn't know much tips!

I don't have a team to play with, how do I explain these things to my random teammates? 😭 Thanks for the tips! I've learned so much today

I remember watching this video when I was new to identity V because I didn't know what I was doing lol

what do you use to edit your videos with?

You shouldn't body block the first and second chair if you rescued with tide, and if you haven't been chaired (or you're not dead on chair) double body block for a person that's dead on chair.

To add on 8:59, escape is a trait that is exclusive to the 3 persona branch (Borrowed Time). So, yanno... If you're somehow one those survs who doesn't run 3-

About em the rescue. I'm main Mercenary, and sometimes happens I'm too far. People don't understand I can't teleport to the rocket chair just because I'm a rescuer and they kept wait until I do a miracle. Even if they're much closer than me. "Do your job mercenary"

Also is all the tips still viable or did it get updated on some short of way?

Me who keeps getting hit through pallets and getting terror shocked early cos of my slow vault: 💀

Gaming

Slowing down rescue is very important, although may I ask when one should use that? In most situations it's not applicable :0 and fake rescuing would give you a higher chance of a terror shock/failed rescue

With that hermit clip they should just pop the cipher. Detention would be split anyway if u have same polarity

Man I'd play the hell out of this game if I didn't get like 300 ping

Blink have cooldown at start of match and it's lower than normal cooldown,right?

3:40 percy was camping me when i was downed

1:52 im pretty sure its slower to do that than to just walk through the pallet

5:05 WAS THAT RANPO?? is that really a skin?? (Im a new player and i just strarted playing the game an hr ago)

11:02 always that one little girl

some advanced guides here

i didn't even know anti could disarm chip hunters attacks??

would we know if we get the wanted order?

What and if your teammates don’t want to cooperate with you? (That happens a lot in lower tiers).

Play this vid on 1.2x for it to be better

that rescue chair increase seems pretty useless, I mean why make them stay on the chair for longer? isn't the whole point getting them off the chair and hiding before the hunter comes back? DX

Delaying the chair can be risky cuz hunter can down you

hey , is that we can skip the skin download in the login? its so anoying i have to wait again for play

When your on low rank be like : well it's not usable but let me do this Them after doing this : yes I'm in dragon

there was a round where i was somehow bitten by a patroller twice (one right after another) so can someone tell me if there's a reason behind this?? TT

First tip: have good ping 🙃

whats a wanted order??

"We finaly got 100 subs"- Dude whit almost 2.6k subs 😂

who is that in the thumbnail hello

Why would u ever need to delay the chair like that? 😭 /gen

Omg please stop teaching them I need them to be bad so I can win as hunter 😭 😭/j

You don't need to be a pro player. Abuse your survivor skills and abuse the scenery. The game is so broken that the machines are being made in less than 2 minutes. Stop being proud of your dirty wins, it makes me sick

I have a question, everytime i get chased by a hunter i always get hit 🥲 how do i stop this..
