Basic information

The Plague is a great pick for those who wish to pressure groups of survivors. She is also excellent at chasing her prey.

1. Name: Adiris,
2. Height: Tall,
3. Terror Radius: 32 meters,
4. Movement speed: 4.6 m/s,
5. Difficulty level: Difficult,
6. DLC: Yes.

Power and perks

The Plague's power revolves around bile. She has access to two types in total, each with a different function.

Vile Purge spreads sickness. Vomiting on objects infects them for 40 seconds. If a survivor touches an infected object, they become infected as well. The infection has little effect - at least at first.

Once the survivor's sickness meter gets full, they become injured and receive the Broken status effect. They also automatically vomit occasionally, infecting everything around them.

She can approach corrupted fountains and consume the water within. This activates Ingest Corruption and lets you use Corrupt Purge. Any survivor hit by it immediately takes damage. In return, however, you can't infect objects anymore.

The Plague's perks aren't very impressive, with only one of them being noticeably powerful.

Icon	Perk	Effect
	Corrupt Intervention	At the beginning of the game, the three generators furthest from the killer are blocked for 80/100/120 seconds. The perk deactivates when the first survivor goes into Dying State.
	Dark Devotion	When the obsession loses a health status, your terror radius is transferred to it for 20/25/30 seconds. The killer becomes Undetectable for this time.
	Infectious Fright	Whenever you put someone in the dying state, all survivors in your terror radius scream, revealing their location to you for 4/5/6 seconds.

How to play the Plague?

You must heavily rely on your power when playing as the Plague. Vomit on everything you see. This will let you spread infection among survivors.

Remember that vomiting on an already infected survivor increases their sickness meter faster. You can therefore injure them quicker, needing only one direct hit to knock them down.

Don't treat Corrupt Purge as the Plague's central mechanic. It plays more of a supportive role. Use it if there's corrupted water nearby and you've just run into some survivors. You must also remember that getting stunned deactivates your power.

Examplary build

Here's an examplary build we've prepared for the Plague.

Icon	Perk	Effect
	Deadlock	Repairing a generator causes the Entity to block the generator with the most progression for 20/25/30 seconds.
	Call of Brine	The perk activates when a generator is damaged. The generator regresses at 150/175/200% of its normal regression speed, and its aura is highlighted in yellow. Every time a survivor completes a Good Skill Check at this generator, you will get a sound notification.
	Corrupt Intervention	At the beginning of the game, the three generators furthest from the killer are blocked for 80/100/120 seconds. The perk deactivates when the first survivor goes into Dying State.
	No Way Out	You get 1 token for each survivor you hang on a hook for the first time. The perk activates when the exit gates are powered. When a survivor interacts with the exit gate switch, you receive a notification and the Entity blocks both exits for 12 seconds and another 6/9/12 seconds for each token held, up to a total maximum of 36/48/60 seconds.
