 Skills

 COMPASS: Pulls up a compass for a few seconds that will roughly point in the direction of the Investigator with the lowest Stealth or the nearest highlighted Investigator. The color of the pointer on the compass varies depending on the distance from the investigator. Red means far away, yellow means getting closer, and blue means nearby. If the compass is a single pale blue dot, it means that the investigator is near the general area. There is a cool-down period between compass usages. The compass instantly recharges upon getting banished.

 TELEPORT: Teleports the creature near the investigators.

 MOURN: Investigators will be entangled in chains for a brief period. The chains will remove the investigator's ability to run and makes it more difficult for them to turn around when active. When wrapped in chains, investigators can still stun and slow down Darcy.

 CAIRN: A stone cairn resembling a gravestone will be placed down. If an investigator is grabbed within 75 meters of the cairn and isn't devoured, the grabbed investigator will be teleported to the nearest cairn. After an investigator has been teleported to a cairn, their flashlight will be temporarily disabled and they will be highlighted to the creature. If the grabbed investigator isn't within range of a cairn that's been placed, they instead will be teleported 75 meters in the direction of the nearest cairn. Unactivated Cairns can be dismantled by Investigators and Ghosts.

 MISFORTUNE: Recover from a stun and be immune to future stuns for roughly three seconds.

 SPRINT: Movement speed will temporarily be increased. Exposition to light will cancel the sprint.

## Tips

While Darcy's Speed, Perception, Strength, and Horror are all below average or poor, she has good Skill Usage as well as the highest base Light Resistance and Idol Influence. The Light Resistance allows her to power through stuns, especially with Misfortune, while the Idol Influence helps slightly with her Perception.

Darcy's most notable edge over the other Creatures comes from her traits. SORROW makes Ghosts much less effective at protecting living Investigators, breaking a Sigil, or banishing Idols, which help make her poor Perception less of a problem. WRAITH's first effect causes Darcy to make no noise when not being harmed by light, stunned, or devouring an Investigator. Because of this, Investigators can't hear Darcy without using a Glowstick or being nearby a natural light source, which can usually be easily avoided. WRAITH also lowers the Speed lost when Darcy is in light. The final advantage gained from WRAITH is a 20% increase in her Sprint speed, letting her get to Investigators more quickly.

Darcy's unique skills are fairly simple to understand but are also powerful. She can place a Cairn, which will teleport Investigators Darcy catches while highlighting them and disabling their flashlight unless if they are devoured. The Cairn will only teleport Investigators to it if they were within 75 meters of it, and if further, will teleport them 75 meters in the direction of it. The Cairn can be destroyed by Investigators and Ghosts. Mourn can be used in tandem with the Cairn, allowing Darcy to activate the Cairn more easily. The Investigators won't be able to run for a while and will have more trouble turning to slow down Darcy. Misfortune can prolong Darcy's attacks even further than her Light Resistance already does, and if used at the right time, can nearly double the time spent attacking.

## Trivia

* Usher Manor was built by Darcy and later purchased by Vincent.
* Darcy was previously human, and a portrait of her as a human can be found in the Usher Manor.
	+ If a living investigator looks at the portrait with no light sources shining on it and takes a few steps back, the portrait will instead display banshee Darcy. Ghosts and Creatures will only see the human version.
* Darcy and Okiku are the only Creatures to have multiple skins decrease the same stat. Darcy's Bewitched and Lady of the Lake skins both decrease her Idol Influence.
