Distorter
The Distorter is a powerful Impostor role that specializes in isolating targets from reality itself. By phasing into a temporary pocket with their victim, the Distorter can eliminate players without anyone witnessing the event.
The Distorter's power is extremely lethal, but its visibility and timing require careful positioning and awareness.
Ability: Distortion Pull
Activate the ability to mark a target within range.
After a 0.75 second wind-up, the ability triggers.
Effect
- The marked target is violently pulled directly to the Distorter's location.
- This pull ignores walls, doors, and obstacles.
Immediately after the pull:
- The Distorter and the target enter a phase state lasting 2 seconds.
Phase State
While phased:
- 👻 Both players are untargetable.
- 👀 Other players cannot see either of you.
- 🚫 No external interactions can affect the phase.
During this time, the Distorter may:
- 🔪 Instantly kill the target
This creates a private execution window where the Distorter can act without witnesses.
After the Phase
Once the phase ends:
- 🌫 The Distorter becomes invisible for 5 seconds
- 💨 Movement speed is slightly increased
- 🔪 Killing is disabled during invisibility
This allows the Distorter to escape the scene safely.
Gameplay Strategy
For the Distorter
- Use the pull in low-traffic areas to avoid suspicion.
- The invisibility escape is best used to reposition immediately.
- Avoid activating the ability near groups — the disappearance may raise suspicion.
For Crewmates
- Be alert for players suddenly disappearing.
- Track who was last near missing players.
- If someone reappears suspiciously far from where they were seen, take note.
