Grim Embrace
Teachable by The Artist
Each first hook builds Tokens; when you leave the Hook, Generators are blocked for a while.
Description
Your act of servitude to The Entity has not gone unnoticed.
Each time a Survivor is hooked for the first time, Grim Embrace gains +1 Token and activates once you are at least 16 metres away from the Hook:
- 1-3 Tokens: Blocks all Generators for 6/8/10 seconds.
- 4 Tokens: Blocks all Generators for 40 seconds and the Aura of the Obsession is revealed to you for 6 seconds.
