Dream Witch

Yidhra

Background
It is said that Yidhra has existed on earth before the emergence of the very first microorganism. As billions of years passed, Yidhra acquired a unique ability from the changes that took place around her, devouring creatures to acquire their characteristics. Yidhra can, therefore, divide herself into different aspects, though each part shares her consciousness. Merging themselves with Yidhra gifts her followers eternal life. She often hides her true form through powerful images, with only summoned followers being able to see it.

Tips
• You should leech a follower onto a survivor when your spawn follower is closer to the main body, that way if you hit the survivor you can still pursue them.

• Followers have their own separated cool down, you can abuse it with certain skills like abnormal, patroller and etc.

• Equipping patroller is a valid choice since you are hindering the amount of space between you and the survivor

• If you have the talent Trump Card it's recommend to switch to teleport when all ciphers are complete.

• When you leech onto a survivor you will be able to see them in red through walls. Strike them with the spawn follower or another leeched follower that is leeched into someone else. If you lose track of them and they haven't taken off the witch mark, you can follow the red outline.

• When the spawn follower is coming back to you and the main body is right next to someone you can try to get a Terror shock since the followers (when not being controlled) don't have a fear radius.

• If the spawn follower is far away from the main body that its right next to the edge go out of range and let the spawn follower come to you. You won't waste any time!

• Teleport is only viable at the end of the game, using it at early game is not advised, since Dream Witch basic follower will come back to her if she teleports far away from the main body, and Dream witch have to wait for her follower if she teleports, plus wasting time and alerting the survivor about her presence, thus making them have time to escape.

• Dream Witch can easily put 2 or more survivors in chair if they are in basement, it's generally better to put the spawn follower in the upper floor, that way Dream Witch will not need to move the follower out of the basement.

• Always leech a survivor on a chair, it will increase your impact and in certain cases, you can camp the chair while finding other survivors far away.

• Hiding the Witch mark is *NOT* recommended, since survivors can see them highlighted in white anyways.

• But try to put them in place where survivors will have to go out of there way to get them or just farther away, just prevent them from picking it up right away

• Do not leech a survivor that you Will not purse in the beginning of the game, they can easily cleanse it.

• Mind's Eye can be easily terror shocked if alone on a cipher, make your spawn follower go after her while not possessing, this will make the Mind's Eye don't see the follower because of her low field view and lack of heartbeat and red stain of the follower.

• Dream Witch and survivors cannot jump windows the same time, use this to bodyblock a survivor and having a free hit. Try to predict where survivors will think your coming from. There are a ton of places where survivors only look at on each map. Come behind them when not possed and terror shock them on a cipher.

Countering
• Always stay attentive at the early game for the follower, if you see her, stop decoding immediately to prevent being Terror Shocked.

• Try to not go in a straight line since the Dream Witch can just set the follower to go forward.

• Don't try to stun the followers if there are two around you since the Dream Witch can switch right before getting stunned.

• Only remove the mark if Dream witch is pursuing another survivor, also, try to let another survivor remove the mark, it will make the cleansing time drastically shorter than removing it by yourself.

• The best way to counter Dream Witch is by removing her mark when she's not pursuing you. It will negate her multi-tasking, making her way less dangerous to the survivors.

• One should note that followers that Dream Witch is not possessing can't attack you. However, it's still a better idea to remove the mark before completing ciphers, since the inactive follower can easily terror shock a survivor if the Dream Witch possess her.

• Do not go near an area with more than one follower, especially if they are close. This will make you easily to get downed by the Dream Witch.

• Focus completing ciphers, Dream witch can easily find survivors without they knowing. So hiding is not a good idea.

• Hiding in lockers is useless since when you are leeched you appear with a red aura for the Dream Witch.

• Do not try to hide with Explorer if leeched, the same apply to survivors that are using the book.

• The leeched follower can't see the first officer when he is using his illusion.

• The leeches follower can see magic Timon when he uses his can. But still be careful.

• Her hit box it weird as heck (not as bad as Geisha's) circling her when she's trying to hit *sometimes* works.
