Boon: Shadow Step
Teachable by Mikaela Reid
Bless a Totem so Survivors in range leave no Scratch Marks and hide their Auras from the Killer.
Description
A Boon that conceals the truth.
Press and hold the Active Ability button on a Dull or Hex Totem to bless it and create a Boon Totem.
All Survivors within 24 metres hear soft chimes ringing out and benefit from its Boon Effects:
- Scratch Marks are suppressed.
- Auras are hidden from The Killer.
- Both effects linger for 2/3/4 seconds after leaving the Boon Totem's range.
Only one Totem can be blessed by your Boon Perks at a time and all of their effects are active on the same Boon Totem.
