•Tips

1. Use the correct words: Avoid equipping the expressive words like “thank you” and “sorry” instead of equip informative words like “The exit gate is open”, “The dungeon is here”, “The Hunter is here hurry”. the informative words are of greater utility for your companions and you will increase the possibility of survival.
2. Analyze the terrain: This means that you must memorize where are the dungeons, the chests, the safest areas of the map to escape the hunter, the machines, the exit door, among others.Learn how to kite the hunter, which is evading him and backtracking to the cipher machine he may have chased you from.
3. Balanced team: to achieve a balanced team you need a curator example: doctor, someone who decodes a quick example: mechanic or mind eye, Someone who rescue example: Forward, Cowboy, Priesstess or mercenary and a decent kiter e.g. thief, perfumer or seer.
4. Choosing different survivors: each survivor has their own abilities. If everyone chose the same survivor, the chance of success may decrease.

Do not decode fence machines from the hunter, as you can easily find them.

1. Do not waste your time, first, everyone should help decode different machines, so you can finish multiple ciphers at once. If you decode together and the hunter comes, everyone is going to stop decoding, leaving the hunter more time to catch the survivors. Only decode together if there are 2/ less ciphers left.
2. It is preferable to rescue a partner, rather than finish decoding a machine. The machine won’t go anywhere!
3. As soon as the heart begins to appear, hide near a pallet so you can kite the hunter if the hunter spotted you
4. How to beat a camper hunter: If the hunter is a camper it is dangerous to rescue your partner because he can have the talent “Fallen misfortune” and incapacitate you from a blow the best rescuer in this case is, cow boy since he can rescue distance or mercenary since you will not fall instantly, forward or coordinator since they temporarily disable the hunter, also make sure you have the talent “Tide Turner
5. “Wear camouflage clothing, normally the landscape of the maps is “dry green” or brown so you should wear brown or “dry green” clothes.
