The Mastermind

"The Mastermind can barrel forwards, infecting Survivors with the Uroboros Virus or leaping over obstacles."

SPECIAL ABILITY: VIRULENT BOUND
The Mastermind starts the Trial with 2 Tokens.

SPECIAL ATTACK: BOUND ATTACK
Press and hold the Power button to charge Virulent Bound, reducing his Movement speed to 3.68 m/s while he prepares to strike.
Press the Attack button to initiate a Bound Attack, consuming -1 Token, or release the Power button to cancel it.
Press the Attack button again during the Chain Bound Window of 2 seconds to initiate a second, longer Bound Attack, if there is still a Token available:

• Increases his Movement speed to 14 m/s during a Bound Attack.
  
  • The first Bound lasts for 0.5 seconds.
  
  
  • The second Bound lasts for 1 second.

SPECIAL INTERACTION: SURVIVOR COLLISION
Colliding with a Survivor at any point during a Bound Attack has multiple possible effects and interactions, which depend on the Survivor's current states regarding their health, infection, and interaction:

• If the Survivor is interacting with a Prop or another Survivor, or is protected from entering the Dying State by a third-party effect, The Mastermind attacks them with a quick swipe of his tentacles:
  
  • Uninfected Survivors become infected with Uroboros and receive damage.
  
  
  • Infected Survivors receive damage.
  
  
  • Critically Infected Survivors receive double damage and are downed, unless they are protected.


• If the Survivor is not interacting with a Prop or another Survivor, The Mastermind grabs them with his tentacles and continues travelling the remaining distance of his Bound Attack.
  
  • If he collides with an obstacle before ending the Bound Attack, either of the following applies:
    
    • Uninfected Survivors become infected with Uroboros and receive damage.
    
    
    • Infected Survivors receive damage, after which injured Survivors are released and dying Survivors are hoisted onto his shoulder.
    
    
    • Critically Infected Survivors receive double damage and are hoisted onto his shoulder.
  
  
  • If he does not collide with an obstacle before ending the Bound Attack, he throws the Survivor in a straight line, after which either of the following applies:
    
    • Uninfected Survivors become infected with Uroboros and receive damage, if they collide with an obstacle during the throw, after which they are released.
    
    
    • Infected Survivors receive damage, if they collide with an obstacle during the throw, after which injured Survivors are released and dying Survivors are downed.
    
    
    • Critically Infected Survivors receive double damage, if they collide with an obstacle during the throw, after which they are downed.


• In any case, the Exit Gates are blocked to the Survivor for the duration of the Bound Attack.
  
  • This effect lingers for 5 seconds after they are released.

SPECIAL INTERACTION: VIRULENT VAULT
Colliding with a dropped Pallet or a Window during a Bound Attack causes The Mastermind to automatically vault over it.

SPECIAL AFFLICTION: UROBOROS INFECTION
Uroboros grows in strength over time, which is indicated with an Infection Meter on the Survivor Portraits in the HUD:

• Both Uninfected Survivors and Infected Survivors gain +20 Charges upon colliding with The Mastermind during a Bound Attack.


• Infected Survivors passively gain +0.8 c/s at all times, unless they are hooked or downed.

Being hooked resets the Infection Meter to 1 Charge.

Once the Infection Meter is full at 100 Charges, Infected Survivors become Critically Infected:

• Causes them to suffer from a permanent -4 % Hindered Status Effect.

SPECIAL ITEM: FIRST AID SPRAY
Survivors can cure themselves or other Survivors from Uroboros by locating a Supply Case and searching it for a First Aid Spray:

• A total of 6 Supply Cases spawn in random locations in the environment.


• The Auras of Supply Cases are revealed to Infected Survivors at all times.


• Each Supply Case contains 1 First Aid Spray with 2 uses.


• Using the First Aid Spray triggers Killer Instinct for 4 seconds.
