Strangler



The Strangler is a killer that The Nightmare can appear as in Last Year: The Nightmare.

The Strangler is 5 feet 8 inches. He appears to be an old deranged homeless man who used to be a war veteran. He is attributed to the Light Class. He possesses low strength and health but has high mobility. His weapon of choice is a hooked chain that is wrapped around his left hand, as well as a pair of scissors he uses to cut and slash at students with.

Gameplay
Using his chain, the Strangler can be used best with a stealthy play style or an ambush-based play style, but is not recommended for defensive gameplay. Because he is primed towards stealth, he lets out maniacal laughter whenever he is near students in order to give them a chance to evade him or defend themselves. Many players will also lay down several bear traps and pull students into them to allow for The Strangler to execute them, which is sometimes quicker and safer than simply choking them.

Abilities

 * Chain Grab
 * The Strangler throws his hooked chain around a nearby student and drags them towards himself. If the student is pulled to The Strangler fully, he will begin choking them out, slowly draining their health. When the student's health is low enough, The Strangler can execute them on the spot with a quick downward strike using his pair of scissors. The Strangler can also release students manually while dragging them or while he is choking a student.
 * Bear Traps
 * The Strangler can place traps around the map to prevent students from progressing or keeping them in place to kill them. The other killers share this ability. The Strangler can also push and drag students into bear traps to pin them down so he can focus on someone else or begin to attack them while they are trapped to kill them more quickly.
 * Gas
 * The Strangler can plant gas in containers and boxes that hold crafting kits or scrap to momentarily poison students. The other killers share this ability.
 * Environmental Execution
 * The Strangler uses his hook to latch onto a nearby student and pulls them through an air vent.


 * Melee
 * The strangler's attacks deal 25 damage per swing.
