Follower

**Follower** is an external trait belonging to the hunter Dream Witch, Yidhra. As with other traits, it's a unique characteristic of the hunter in question, and as such doesn't require Presence to be unlocked, and remains active indefinitely throughout the match.

## Trait Details

Yidhra creates a Follower near a chosen Survivor.

**Follower**

*A summoned Follower is dependent on its host and is unable to leave its host.*

*Hitting the host will cause the Follower to disappear.*

*Survivors can remove Followers using the Witch Mark.*

*Followers are affected by Talent, and the cooldown period for their Active Traits is independent. However, when one Follower uses an Active Trait, the cooldown of other Followers' Active Trait will be increased by 20 seconds.*

*Follower's movement speed and directions will remain unchanged until they are repossessed by Yidhra. Only when a Follower is controlled by Yidhra will their fear radius take effect.*

## Gameplay

This ability allows the Dream Witch to summon a subsidiary Hunter known as a "Follower" that she can control. She starts with one that is attached to her, and can summon one for each survivor allowing her to have a total of five at most at one time. Each time one is summoned, a "witch mark" will appear at the follower's feet which can be picked up by survivors. These followers are slow when being controlled and have a very short hitbox, but allow Dream Witch to corner survivors due to having multiple points of attack.

### Other Details

* It's very rare for the Followers to have an animation when hitting objects. This can only trigger if you use blink but you hit an object.

**Hunter Tips**

* A follower can see their attached Survivor outlined in red.
* Yidhra's servants have their own ability time count. Abnormal and Patroller are the best Trait options.
* Wait to possess your follower at the beginning of a match until you find a survivor decoding. As soon as the follower walks up to the survivor, quickly possess her and terror shock them!
* Always summon a follower next to a survivor on a chair.
* While Yidhra is vaulting a window, a survivor can not vault over the same window. If timed right, this can be used to your advantage while a follower is pursuing a survivor.
* Yidhra can control multiple places at once with her big amount of servants. Try placing them in different places such as undecoded cipher machines and chaired survivors at once.
* Yidhra is best on small maps with cipher machines being close to each other, since you can easily pressure multiple ciphers at once.
* Position the spawn point of the follower at a far corner of the map to inconvenience the survivors. Should they want to collect the anti-curse to remove a leech, they would have to go out of their way to get it.
* If possible, force a survivor who is "dead on chair" to pick up an anti-curse by walking over the witch mark while the survivor is being ballooned. This removes an opportunity for another survivor to pick up the anti-curse and remove leeches.

**Survivor Tips**

* Always keep track of who has a follower/leech, and pick up a witch mark (the symbol on the ground where a follower was summoned from) as soon as you can.
	+ Teammates with an active leech will have a white circle mark on their status, those with a witch mark will have a permanent purple circle mark on their status until the end of the game.
	+ If you are the only one with a Witch Mark, go to teammates who have a follower and remove it for them. If you have your follower removed, but do not have a mark, go get a mark to help your teammates and yourself later.
* When being chased by both the default follower belonging to Yidhra and your personal leech/follower, try to make your leech hit you as this will cause it to disappear.
* Stay on top of removing leeches, to keep the total number of followers one the map as low as possible.
	+ It is faster to have a teammate remove your leech rather than you yourself. Removing your own leech gets faster as more of your team is eliminated.
	+ When being chased, or if you have some time on your own while your teammates are busy, you can steadily remove your leech until it as 99%. This allows you to have more control, and you can cause it to disappear at any time, such as right before it attacks.
* If you notice Yidhra is trying to use your personal leech to hit another teammate (and you are not in a Rocket Chair), then either run closer and take the hit from your leech, remove it quickly, or run further away to force it to come to you (as it can only be a certain distance away from you).
