The Two-Time character in Forsaken has undergone a massive rework, turning it from one of the weakest characters in the game to one of the most complex and unique survivors to use. With three brand new abilities and an updated gameplay strategy, learning how to play Two-Time effectively can give you a powerful advantage. In this guide, we’ll break down how to use Two-Time’s new abilities, the best strategies for surviving, and tips on how to counter this reworked survivor.
Two-Time’s Abilities and Mechanics Explains
Two-Time’s rework focuses on making it both a challenging and rewarding character to master. Here’s a look at its new abilities:
1. Dagger Attack
- Front Stab: Deals 25 damage, applies Slowness 2 and Helpless status for 2 seconds (prevents the killer from using abilities).
- Backstab: Deals 35 damage and stuns the killer for 4 seconds.
- Healing: The dagger heals Two-Time. A front stab heals 10 health, while a backstab heals 20 health. This means Two-Time can technically heal endlessly if it lands successful hits.
2. Crouch (Invisibility)
- Invisibility and Undetectable: When crouching, Two-Time becomes partially transparent and undetectable by the killer’s abilities. It lasts for 15 seconds but can be canceled by activating the ability again.
- Lunge Attack: While crouching, using the dagger allows for a forward lunge, making it easier to land a hit.
- Uncrouching Effects: If you uncrouch far from the killer, you’ll receive Slowness for 10 seconds and your position will be revealed. However, uncrouching close to the killer grants Speed 2 for 1 second, helping you escape.
3. Ritual (Respawn Mechanic)
- Place Ritual: Two-Time can place a ritual anywhere on the map, which serves as a spawn point for the second life.
- Oblation Bar: To earn the second life, you need to fill the oblation bar by attacking the killer. Front stabs give 3 points, backstabs give 4.5 points. More Two-Time players in the game means you’ll need more blood points to max out the bar.
- Second Life: If killed, Two-Time respawns at the ritual with 40 health and Weakness 5 for 12 seconds, but gains Speed 2 for 6 seconds. If you’re the last survivor standing, you’ll respawn with 110 health and Speed 2 for 6 seconds.
How to Use Two-Time’s Abilities Effectively
1. Combining Crouch and Dagger
One of the most effective strategies for landing attacks is to use Crouch and Dagger together. First, crouch to go undetectable, and then use the dagger to perform a lunge. This makes landing hits much easier, especially when you’re trying to backstab the killer.
Timing the Backstab: The best time to backstab the killer is when they are distracted, such as when they’re chasing another survivor. This allows you to sneak up behind them and land a clean backstab.
2. When to Use Front Stab
Front Stabs are useful when you need to slow down and disable the killer temporarily. However, there’s quite a bit of end lag after using the front stab, which means it might leave you vulnerable. Try not to use it when the killer is actively chasing you, as it might put you at a disadvantage.
3. Choosing Ritual Locations
Place your ritual in a far corner of the map, ideally somewhere hidden. This ensures that the killer won’t know where you’ve respawned and will leave you alone unless it’s Last Man Standing. Be sure to remember your ritual’s location. If you die near it, you’ll suffer from the Weakness 5 debuff and get one-shot when respawning.
How to Survive as Two-Time
1. Playing Aggressively
To make the most of Two-Time’s abilities, you’ll need to play aggressively. Keep attacking the killer to fill up your oblation bar and earn your second life. Use your backstabs whenever possible, and try to stay close to other survivors so you can take advantage of distractions.
2. Avoid Getting Trapped
Don’t get too comfortable camping in one spot. If you are killed near your ritual, the killer can easily take advantage of your Weakness 5, leaving you at a disadvantage. Move around the map and be aware of your surroundings to avoid being caught off guard.
Best Tips for Countering Two-Time
1. Playing as John Doe
John Doe is one of the best counters to Two-Time. His trail abilities deal residual damage, which can prevent Two-Time from healing back any damage they take. Additionally, John Doe can place a trap on the ritual, ensuring that when Two-Time respawns, they’ll be caught by the trap and take significant damage.
2. Using Killers with Helpless
Killers that apply the Helpless status, such as 1x1x1x1 and Jason, can stop Two-Time from uncrouching. This leaves them vulnerable and unable to use their crouch or lunge abilities effectively.
3. Keeping Track of the Ritual
If you spot a Two-Time’s ritual, don’t let them get the chance to respawn easily. Place traps or make sure you kill them in a way that blocks their ritual’s use. This way, they won’t be able to come back and continue to be a threat.
The reworked Two-Time is no longer the weak, boring survivor it once was. With its combination of healing, invisibility, and the powerful second life mechanic, Two-Time Forsaken is now a versatile character that rewards players who can master its abilities. It’s definitely not beginner-friendly, but with the right strategies, it can be a game-changing character. If you’re looking for a challenging yet rewarding survivor, Two-Time is worth learning, but make sure to understand its abilities fully to make the most out of the rework.
