Dash Hit

**Dash Hit** is a hunter ability belonging to the Geisha, Michiko. It is already unlocked at the start of every match.

It will upgrade further when her Presence bar is full.

## Ability Details

*Michiko enters genesis mode and assumes the Prajna form. She ignores the terrain and rushes towards the butterfly or the survivor with an attached butterfly closest to the middle of where she is looking. But, should Michiko’s face be gazed upon by an attached survivor, Panic form will be activated and special abilities negated.*

### Enhanced

*Survivors' fear increases Michiko's powers. Michiko can now dash towards survivors at a higher speed.*

## Gameplay

***Regarding Geisha's "side view dash", let me introduce the principle. First of all, the rule of ghost head determination is that the smaller the angle of the center of the field of view, the higher the priority of the appearance of ghost heads. When the small angle of the field of view is blocked by the collision, it will look for other butterflies that meet the requirements. Figure 1 is because the butterfly in the center of the field of view disappears due to the occlusion, and then it will fly to the butterfly on the outside. Figure 2 is because, the closer this butterfly has a greater angle, so the priority is lower, which flies to the far away butterfly. Want to solve this situation, in fact, there is an optimization way, but will somewhat change everyone's operating habits. As shown in Figure 3, narrow the field of view of the ghost head judgment, and priority to fly closer to the point, so that the basic solution to the problem of "side view dash"*** (from Identity V Official Weibo Q&A on July 20th 2021, translated by Nicholas Chong)

## Summary

This ability allows the Geisha to move incredibly quickly across the map to any visible butterfly placed/attached by Dancing in Misery. The dash can be stopped if a butterfly is attached to a survivor and they are looking at Geisha or the butterfly disappears from the players' POV.

## Other Details

* When this ability is used on a stationary Swallowtail Butterfly, it won't be interrupted by obstacles. But the skill will stop if the Butterfly disappears (when it attaches to a Survivor or its lifespan ends).
* A loud instrumental noise will ring out across the entire area within its radius (30m, audible to all players) every time this ability is activated.
* The dash duration doesn't seem to have a time limit and can only be canceled by: stuns, the survivor the Geisha is dashing toward gazes at her, when the Geisha reaches the butterfly or a survivor attached to a butterfly or when the survivor the Geisha is dashing toward enter an area which blocks the Geisha's vision. This allows you to catch up to survivors with abilities to create distance between you and them.
