P3 Wraith here Recently in one of the last Dev streams, it was confirmed that Wraith is getting an overhaul / rework. How soon or any details have not been released to my knowledge. I really don't know how much attention this will get, but I'd really like to get the players who understand this killer well and talk about what he honestly needs. These Wraith Stiffy Kits are made by the DmG specifically for Blue Monkey RC trailing arm rear suspensions. Note: you do NOT need the BMRC upper shock mounting system with this kit. Jerry at the DmG has designed this product to completely replace the flexy plastic back half of the Wraith with an aluminum frame. Wraith Is Stronger Than Trapper. I know people keep saying Wraith is the weakest killer, but I don't think so. The Wraith is basically the same as the trapper, except for their abilities. And I think the Wraith's ability is stronger. This is an aluminum tuber chassis made by Death Metal Garage from the RCCrawler.com forums. This chassis is about 12' long, 5' wide at its longest and 4' tall. It has replaceable blue plastic skid plate that mounts under the aluminum transmission plate. Basically they are symbolic of the Wraith's 'disability' due to the murder he is avenging. From an interview with writer/director Mike Marvin. MD: There have been lengthy discussions on the Internet dedicated to the significance of the Wraith’s glowing leg braces that successively disappear.

From D&D Wiki

Deathwatch is a 2002 British horror film that involves the survivors of a British unit, Y Company, who are separated from their regiment during the brutal trench fighting of the First World War. Attempting to return to their lines, the British soldiers discover what appears to be a bombed-out German trench, abandoned except for three German soldiers.

Wraith[edit]

Physical Description[edit]

A shadow, a wraith is the physical embodiment of darkness and envoy's of Death. Wraiths apear different to different people because they lost a form to call their own. They appear to most as a shadowy ghost creature with glowing eyes because that's what they expect but if you didn't know it was a wraith it look like a regular human with glowing eyes. Or if you are terrified of that wraith it looks super scary, and if you loved it it would look like your ideal 'type'. Because of this they often have to ask what they look like when first meeting a person. But along with their appearances changing so do the voice and language they speak. The same thing applies here if you are scared of it they speak infernal, if you love them they speak your native tongue and if you don't know they are a wraith they speak common. They're eyes glow to their alignment red evil, blue good, yellow is neutral. So keep that in mind when talking to one.

History[edit]

A Wraith is a species akin to that of a ghost, but they are powerful enough to transcend the plane of the dead and return to the overworld (even if they can't get back). They're almost ancient, being present since the first human died. They favorited to be summoned by necromancers as servants but few have escaped to form society's and cities, on both sides the overworld and the underworld. As they are feared as avatars of death they have a bad reputation. As a result they hid in the shadows. Lots are appointed to head guards of demonic armies and generals, because they are cunning and clever. Also, being that they can travel to the overworld makes them useful spies. Like banshee if you see one you'll most likely die

Society[edit]

Wraith tribes are rare, serving as a gate between life and death they are led by an elder. Tend to cause fear wherever they go, as a result you do not see many around and when you do they tend to be being attack or attacking something. The wraiths are normally summoned as servants, being some of the strongest a necromancy can summon. But be for warned they like to kill their new found masters.

Wraith Names[edit]

Wraiths take on the names of other races.

Brought out recently with the full release after a lengthy beta process, the Wraith is the second out of three primary killers now available in the 4 vs. 1 horror simulator Dead By Daylight.

Originally called the Banshee before the official release, this spectral killer is more about stealth than overpowering force like either the Trapper or Hillbilly. But in many other respects he behaves the same in his attempts to knock down survivors and set them up on the ritual hooks before they escape.

Many of the same basic killer strategies for the Trapper also apply to the Wraith, like using audio and visual cues to hunt down the survivors with your limited field of vision as the killer.

While the Trapper lays down vicious bear traps to herd his prey and the Hillbilly revs up his chainsaw for devastating attacks, the Wraith instead utilizes supernatural powers to remain hidden and outfox the survivor crew. One of the few advantages survivors have is their ability to see in full 360 degree view, which is negated by the Wrath's ability to turn invisible.

The Wraith

Primary Weapon: Azarov's Skull

Like the Trapper's cleaver, this gory skull and spinal column is the weapon you'll be using to first wound a survivor and then hit a second time to knock them down.

Once they hit the dirt, you can pick up the survivor and make your way towards the nearest hook to initiate a sacrifice. Don't forget there's a timing element at play here though, as there's a slight cool down after each hit where you wipe the blood off your weapon.

Secondary Weapon: Wailing Bell

Not particularly a “weapon” at all, the Wraith's secondary piece of equipment is much more versatile than either the bear trap or the chainsaw: it turns you almost entirely invisible. There's a trade off here though, as you can't directly harm a survivor while you are cloaked.

While under the influence of the bell, you have more freedom to stalk your prey without them noticing you. Patrol the generator and chest areas while invisible, and pay attention for scratch marks indicating a survivor was sprinting or loud clanking noises indicating a survivor turned on a generator or messed up a skill check.

Outfitting The Wraith

Cloak / Decloak

The bell makes loud tolling sound as soon as you activate your cloaking ability, alerting everyone the map to what you've done, which is the only saving grace for the soon-to-be dead survivors.

Most importantly: they don't hear the heartbeat while you are cloaked. You can literally walk up right behind them and they won't notice, unlike with the other two killers.

It's a good idea to cloak right at the start of the match before the survivors have had a chance to see you, offering a serious advantage immediately. Azarov's Skull actually disappears from your hand while cloaked, however, and you have to decloak before attacking.

You can deactivate the cloak while moving, essentially letting you appear out of thin air to get in a first hit against a survivor, but you slow down while decloaking. They key here is getting the timing and angle right, as the bell will toll again while you go from cloaked to uncloaked mode.

Decloaking While Giving Chase

To play to this stealth killer's strengths, come up from behind or the side of a survivor and quickly decloak and get a first hit in. Before that strike, take a moment to pay attention to your surroundings first so you have a solid plan ahead of time of what direction to chase when the survivor starts running.

If you know your surroundings and time it right, they won't have a chance to flee and you'll get in your second hit quickly. Remember its frequently a better idea to go around walls and through a different entrance than slowing yourself down by going through a window or over an obstacle after a fleeing survivor.

Moving diagonally around sight-blocking objects is also a much better tactic than going directly behind a survivor (unless you are cloaked) as you can avoid objects they knock over and guess which direction they will run, rather than always trying to catch up from behind.

If you lose sight of the survivor after giving chase for awhile, just cloak again – this will typically send all four scampering at full speed, since they'll think you are near no matter where you are on the map. It's an excellent means of flushing out hiding prey.

Activating Your Cloaking Power

Death Watch Bunker Wraith Dmg Type 1

Obviously taking a survivor to the nearest hook is always a good idea after you've got in your second hit, but don't discount other tactics: you can turn invisible after all.

If you have a group of survivors working together rather than singly, its not a bad plan to leave a survivor down and then immediately cloak and wait for for someone else to come along and try to help the downed player.

That's all you need to know to get started slaughtering survivors as the Wraith! Let us know if you've got any other killer tactics in the comments below.

Countering The Wraith

To stay alive as a survivor during a Wrath match, you need to strike a balance between remaining hidden and running like mad. You have the speed advantage when the Wraith is cloaked, but the killer could be cloaking specifically to lure you out of hiding and make you run wildly.

After you hear the bell toll, survival depends on staying near pallets you can drop and remaining in areas you can lead the Wraith on circular chases through windows and twisting hallways.

There is a small chance of noticing the killer before he starts decloaking and the bells toll again if you pay attention. As it turns out, he's not actually 100% invisible, as there is a slight shimmer in the air revealing his presence every few seconds.

Good Luck Surviving!
