Event Mechanics
Fragile Blood Basins
During the Event, 3 Fragile Blood Basins spawn throughout the environment, whose Auras are revealed to all Players in pale rose for the first 20 seconds of the Trial (longer if using the Event Offering).
Blood Charges / Droplets
Players can collect 1 Blood Droplet by walking through a Fragile Blood Basin, giving them +1 Blood Charge.
Survivors can only hold 1 Blood Charge, whereas Killers can hold 2 and even start the Trial with 1.
A Player carrying Blood Charges has a red orb swirling around their midsection, with the Killer also seeing red slashes across their screen.
Stealing Blood Charges
Players can steal a Blood Charge from the opposing side:
- Survivors can steal a Blood Charge from the Killer by stunning them by any means.
- This includes Pallet Stuns, but also stuns applied from Perks (e.g. Blast Mine
, Decisive Strike
, Head On
, etc.) or just from wiggling free from their grasp.
- This includes Pallet Stuns, but also stuns applied from Perks (e.g. Blast Mine
- The Killer can steal a Blood Charge from a Survivor by hitting them with a Basic Attack.
Blood Basins
Blood Basins also spawn in random locations through the environment and have their Auras
revealed in pale rose within 12 metres of Players carrying at least 1 Blood Charge.
Blood Zones
Upon activating a Blood Basin, by using one's Blood Charge on it by pressing the Event Ability button, they create an Area of Effect around them, known as the Blood Zone.
While inside the Blood Zone, Players benefit from certain special effects:
General Effects
- Triggering any Score Event while inside a Blood Zone also triggers the Blood Moon Boosted! Score Event, which automatically grants 25 % of the original Score Event's value in the Special Event Category, acting as a Bloodpoint-Bonus.
- Since Blood Zones are collaborative, depositing a Blood Droplet grants all effects listed below map-wide for 20 seconds to the creator of a specific Blood Zone.
Killer Effects
- Increases the duration of a Lunge Attack to 1 second, doubling its default reach.
- Increases the Cool-down time after a Lunge Attack to 2.14 seconds, doubling its default duration.
Survivor Effects
- Reduces the volume of their Grunts of Pain while injured by -50 %.
