## Gameplay

*Main Article: Exclusive*

The Journalist carries a camera that she could switch between camera angles and generate illusions under different angles.

* **Containing Angle**
	+ The illusion will move to a pallet that hasn't been knocked down. When the Hunter is in a position that can be hit by the pallet, the illusion will pull down the pallet and disappear. The recovery speed of the Hunter stunned by the illusion increases by 30%. When the pallet is pulled down early, the illusion will also disappear. The Hunter will take 20% longer to destroy the pallet that was pulled down by the illusion. When the distance between the illusion and a teammate is less than 12 meters, the illusion's depletion speed is increased by 50%. When the illusion is active, casting this ability again will make it disappear.

* **Rescuing Angle**
	+ When a teammate has been tied to a Rocket Chair and is less than 25 meters from the Journalist, the illusion will move to the closest Rocket Chair and rescue the teammate. If the teammate on the Rocket Chair is rescued by another Survivor, the illusion will disappear. Under this angle, when the illusion is less than 20 meters from the Hunter, its outline will be shown to the Hunter.

* **How to Use**
	+ Tap to generate an illusion in front of you. Hold to charge up and generate an illusion at a specified location. Under the Rescuing Angle, illusions cannot be generated within 8 meters of a Rocket Chair that has a Survivor on it.

#### Survivor Tips

As Journalist
* The Journalist could summon an illusion to a pallet faraway. While sending an illusion to a faraway pallet, try to follow its footprints so he could bodyblock you during a pursuit or rescue. The Journalist must try to let the Hunter attack the summoned illusion as possible since the illusion does not give any Presence to the Hunter.
* During a pursuit, the Journalist could generate an illusion earlier before entering a pallet area to force the Hunter to go another way without being pallet stunned or force the Hunter to attack the illusion, thus making the hunter in a recovery state longer than normal to escape.
* The Journalist could also generate an illusion after crossing through a pallet in a one-way area to let the Hunter to be stunned by the pallet downed by the illusion if they are careless and did not notice the illusion.
* During a pursuit, if the Journalist is far from a pallet/window area for containing the Hunter, the Journalist could summon an illusion to obtain a speed boost and reaching the pallet/window area. The illusion could also block one attack, and providing a speed boost at the same time, and also forcing the Hunter into their recovery state.
* If a teammate is tied onto a Rocket Chair, the Journalist could summon an illusion to confuse and distract the Hunter. If there are obstacles inside the radius, the Journalist could summon an illusion as a bait and rescue the teammate from another way.
* If the Journalist is wounded during a rescue, one should leave immediately since the illusion will also obtain a speed boost to rescue the teammate on a Rocket Chair. This could prevent a double decapitated scene.
* The illusion's Fear status only contains a 1/2 health, so it could suffer 1 normal attack or 2 special attacks that creates 1/4 damage. This is useful for Hunters such as Sculptor, Gamekeeper, Soul Weaver and many more.
* If Tide Turner is activated in the first rescue, don't bodyblock with the main body so the Journalist could go for a second rescue.
