Mirror Illusion

This perk becomes active once generator repairs have progressed 50% of the way.
When a totem, chest, generator, or exit gate is nearby, press ability button 2 to activate a static illusion that lasts for 100, 110, or 120 seconds. The benefit then stops working.

Bardic Inspiration

Standing still and holding down the ability button 1, Survivors within 16 meters can initiate a 15-second “performance” interaction. Dice a twenty. If the entire performance is finished, this effect lasts for sixty seconds.
The ability has a 90/75/60 second cooldown when it is cancelled or the performance ends.

1 | You cry out, but nothing occurs.
2–10 | Skill checks yield +1% progress
11–19 | Skill checks yield +2% progress
20 | skill checks give +3% progress

Still Sight

This perk becomes active after 6/5/4 seconds of inactivity.
You can see every generator and chest within 18 meters, as well as the Killer’s aura until you move.

The Lich

The Book, bound with the skin and flesh of men, is full of evil and prohibited magic.

Holding down the Ability Button will reveal the Spell choices. Four distinct spells are available to the lich:

Mage Hand: Conjures up a magical hand that can block an upright pallet for four seconds or raise a pallet that has fallen.
Flight of the Damned: Conjures five phantom-like flying beings that can damage survivors and get through barriers.
Dispelling Sphere: Casting a moving, invisible sphere that reveals the Survivors and momentarily neutralizes their Magic Items.
Fly: For a brief moment, acquire the ability to soar through the air, covering large distances and navigating obstacles like pallets and vaults.

SPECIAL ITEM: MAGIC ITEMS

Magic Items can be found in Treasure Chests scattered across the map. A set of gauntlets and a pair of boots are the maximum number of magic items that a survivor can have equipped at once. Every one of these magic items is associated with a spell, which comes into play when the lich casts the spell.

The Interloper’s Boots/Gauntlets: The Survivor obtains 3 seconds of haste after noticing that pallets are impacted by Mage Hand.
Boots/Gauntlets of the Nightwatch: The Survivor is able to perceive the ghostly spirits summoned by Flight of the Damned through their auras.
Boots/Gauntlets of the Archivist: The Dispelling Sphere is visible to the Survivor.
Skyguard Boots/Gauntlets: The Survivor can perceive the aura of The Lich both during Fly and briefly thereafter.

SPECIAL ITEMS: HAND & EYE OF VECNA

Alternatively, the Hand or Eye of Vecna is occasionally found in a Treasure Chest by Survivors. Survivors who pick them up and use them while fully healed have a unique power. The Survivor loses a health status and their location is revealed for three seconds using Killer Instinct when they use one of these unique powers.

Hand of Vecna: The Survivor is sent to a different locker upon completing a Fast Locker Entry.
Eye of Vecna: The Survivor receives haste for 12 seconds and is invisible to The Lich when they perform a Fast Locker Exit.

New Killer Perks

Weave Attunement: Every item is dropped every match when it runs out of resources for the first time. Dropped items’ auras are visible to you. Auras of survivors within 8 meters of dropped goods are visible to you. A Survivor has the Oblivious state effect for 20, 25, or 30 seconds after picking up a Survivor item. Survivors cannot hear the Killer’s Terror Radius or be impacted by it if they are unaware.

Languid Touch: A Survivor will get the 6/8/10 second Exhausted status effect if they scare a crow within 36 meters of them. The duration of this bonus is 20 seconds. Survivors are unable to activate exhausting benefits when they are exhausted.
