Talk:Adriana Imai

Is it known what it means when the square/triangle on the radar is bigger than usual?

This here is wrong:

A successful Hack disables the Drone for 10 seconds before it returns to The Skull Merchant. A failed Hack causes the Drone to enter Active Mode, attaches a Claw Trap to the Survivor, and causes them to be immediately Locked On.

Successful Hacks attach Claw Traps, not the failed hacks. I am unsure how to edit this, which is why I'm typing this.

Maybe we could update Skull Merchant's Trivia a little?

She has only 1 trivia entry on her wiki page, and it's kinda lame. I cannot redact it by myself, and I don't even know if this is a correct place to write my suggestions, but anyway here is a few examples of what can be added in her trivia:

1) Equipping the "Meat Cleaver" cosmetic grants The Skull Merchant a unique attack and cool-down animations.

2) Same goes for a "Hydraulic Blade" weapon.

3) While the Hydraulic Blade weapon is equipped, Skull Merchant's voice lines during attacks will sound different for a killer POV. If the Meat Cleaver weapon is equipped, her voice will sound different for a survivor POV. It is very weird, but it's actually a thing.

4) She is (probably) the first character to have a mixed race (Brazilian of Japanese descent).

5) Her name Adriana is a latin, while her surname Imai is japanese, thereby consolidating the past fact even more.

6) Light Bulbs on her radar changes depending on your position: if you can place the drone on your place, one of the bulbs will glow green, if you cannot place the drone on your place, it will be red. The second light bulb will be red while her power is on a cooldown, and will be green if it is ready to use.

7) During PTB, survivors would see an eye icon above them when Skull Merchant tracked them with her radar.

8) She is one the most normal-looking Killers in Dead by Daylight, she doesn't have any deformations or unnatural features.

9) She is one of the few killers who laughs after hitting the survivor (although she does that not every time, and it's just a short giggle).

10) During her development, survivors would wear a big skull helmets instead of a claw traps (it was revealed in one of the 7th anniversary devs quotes).

11) And again, one of the 7th anniversary devs quote revealed that one of the codenames for her power was "Drone goes BRRR".

12) She is one of the richest characters in the whole game, being a millionaire at 18.

13) She is one of the few killers to feature a Memento Mori where a survivor is shown standing.

14) She is one of the few killers to have their chase music being changed with their rework.

15) Her vaulting animation is incredibly similar to the Survivors' fast vault animation, it is almost the same.

16) Prototypes of her other weapons can be found in her workshop on Shelter Woods. And also, there are a laptop with an anime video, meaning she actually watches anime while working in her workshop.

I know a lot of people doesn't care about this killer, but Wiki is a Wiki, and it should have more information about every character.

Recent Beam Change

Something I noticed while playing against a Skull Merchant recently is that they updated the Drone beams to change color depending on if they can detect you. This was probably added in the most recent patch. The normal orange beams if they are capable of adding a stack of Lock On and the new white beams if they can't detect you, such as while crouching or standing still. Not confident in editing the wiki, so I'm leaving this here for someone else.
