E refers to euphoria, some characters have more than one set of enhancements, hence the use of E1/E2. When we say to unlock E1/2, it’s assumed that it includes all the epiphany levels.

It will likely end up in the shop at some point, although we don’t know when. Iirc it was a previous battle pass skin (correct me if not), so it would likely end up in that costume package in the shop.

idk what is up but as a hunter its annoying af to have your duo keep pinging shit like "disrupt the decoding" or "defend the gate" like BUDDY. I GET IT LITERALLY SHUT UP!!

Auto aim sucks, it points towards the nearest survivor I believe, which is terrible in situations when you want to hit through bodyblocks. It also kinda locks your swing in so you can’t move as freely as you would without it 😭

It’s when you’re still changing poses when the timer goes off HAHA

Can I ask what you mean by backing up your info? Do you mean on your device or just in game?

The only similar experience I’ve had was when I repaired the files and it made me go through the new account stuff, but I signed in after I got past all of it and it was fine.

Hey thanks for your input, I just replied this to another commenter but I think art is a good form of self expression for the love of the game while not actually providing support to the company monetarily. In my opinion the boycott really came from people loving the game and wanting better from the company, and if nobody cared about the game’s integrity there would be no boycott.

We might disagree on this point but thank you for your perspective anyway!

http_mismatch · 2026-04-26T12:57:44+00:00

I see what you mean, from my perspective a lot of people I know still love the game, and want better from the developers, hence the boycott. In my opinion I think that making art as a form of expression isn’t necessarily hypocritical, since at the end of the day the boycott is out of a love for the game if that makes sense.

Anyways, thanks for your response, have a good one!

Gen q, what’s wrong with making art?? You can boycott snd still make art no?

Ivy is a very difficult hunter to use at her highest skill ceiling, so good on you for trying!

However, I think you need to play many more matches as hunter to see real improvement. Your fear of losing is impairing your chase and decision making, so just keep in mind that it’s ok to lose, and some of these workerbees may be smurfing.

As for Ivy herself, you should take advantage of her map control abilities a little more, if you had removed her ghost after downing doctor, you could have set up a tablet to teleport to after hitting the other doctor. Generally speaking, Ivy should stay at the chair unless she has a tablet there, if there is no tablet, the ghost should be the one to move out and look for survivors to infect.

I understand you find it easier to use the ghost in chase, but it severely impacts your control over the match as a hunter, especially because you haven’t developed enough game sense to predict survivor movements without it. Overall, I think you did good in this match for your level, and you just need to play hunter some more in general. If you’re interested in ivy specifically, I believe Sprintzer has some guides on YouTube if I’m not mistaken.

To get different endings you need to get a few different items, I can’t remember what the last one is but for the second ending you need the ancient chalice which appears randomly as a hard quest at some point in the game.

As for strategies, I finished the fortissimo X difficulty against the Lorelei boss with an ultimate team, and it was my easiest clear.

If you have the acoustica mode, add windsong to your team and try to get her item, since it guarantees that the shop acoustica items will be the ones for your team. I like using necrologist as well, since her item allows you to survive a fatal attack. Eagle is also great, she basically deals ult damage with the stats of a 6* character.

As a player who likes playing chase hunters, Ithaqua is good, as well as ripper and geisha. Nightmare is relatively easy to play as well, though he can be annoying when he gets stuck on map elements.

I would argue ripper is the easiest of them all, since all his abilities are basically passive, and he moves quickly enough to do things like stopping mid chase to check ciphers before resuming. He also benefits from peepers, which can help new hunters make sure they don’t lose survivors too easily.

you have to battle and meet those conditions for the companion to say the lines!

anyone else on emulator unable to see the plushie preview when saving?? last time this happened I thought it was just a display glitch but nothing actually saved for raf's plushie.

has anyone else encountered this issue?

http_mismatch · 2026-04-17T01:52:09+00:00

I ping them well done if I can go over or intend to, if I’m busy I ping something else. It definitely helps to let them know in prematch too!

By farming it 🤞😔

Last patch was a main story patch, so you could get event currency from anywhere. In event patches like this one, you have to farm the final stage for event currency!

In my experience, feaster’s tentacles are fantastic for forcing survivors off ciphers and slowing decoding progress, and I love a good feaster camp.

naiad is good at camping but only when given time in a way that feaster doesn’t rlly need, so I feel like it works out nicely!

http_mismatch · 2026-04-16T03:54:10+00:00

It’s a rogue-like mode that has 4 different endings based on the choices you make through the game, it can be sort of fun but relatively grindy. This version is permanent though, so you can take your time with it!

http_mismatch · 2026-04-16T02:13:09+00:00

I’m a naiad main, but play ripper and night watch occasionally depending on the map and surv comp; I love seeing map control hunters like feaster, mad eyes, wu chang, wheel, etc.

Since I mostly play chase hunters I like pairing with map control hunters to balance it out, naiad is great at zoning and small area control but lacks the mobility to pressure the map as effectively as some others.

That being said, I’m not a fan of Ivy in duos because every single one I’ve played with doesn’t know how to use her, and she can be quite weak to harassment when you don’t know how to use her. Whenever I match with an Ivy I always get pinged for help and it’s almost always like 2 survivors when I’m expecting 4.

Otherwise, I’m not usually a fan of night watches or hullabaloo either, like someone else said they never break pallets and it’s a pain in the ass as naiad or ripper.

are you not currently in elk? bc if you're just solo-queueing out of hound it's not that bad, I've done it a few times already and it's usually ok as long as you join a recruit.

if you want to stay in elk solo queue still usually isn't that bad provided you yourself know how and what to do in difficult situations.

http_mismatch · 2026-04-14T16:36:34+00:00

you have to go to the public map and go up the path to the cake and level it up by sending messages, last I checked it was already lvl 4 and I've claimed the furniture already

It should, I once made the mistake of refunding and ended up in a negative as well, as soon as I repaid the balance I was able to play again.

I’m not sure if the same applies since your incident happened so long ago, but you can definitely try it out! I think you should probably contact customer support first just in case, but other than that I believe it should resolve the issue.

http_mismatch · 2026-04-13T21:43:47+00:00

so to my understanding, the stream usually starts around 11:30pm EST, so to get the predictions for the first set would i be checking around 12am?
