Forsaken Veronica Full Guide – Abilities & How to Play
The Halloween Update in Forsaken finally introduces Veronica, a brand-new survivor with a unique and fast-paced playstyle. Unlike other survivors, she relies on her skateboard and graffiti to escape killers, giving her an unpredictable and stylish way to survive.
But how strong is she really, and how hard is she to master? Here’s a full guide on Veronica’s stats, skills, and how to use her effectively. Also check out our Forsaken Kill Sounds ID Guide and more!
Base Stats and Passive Ability
- Health: 100
- Walk Speed: 12
- Sprint Speed: 26
- Max Stamina: 100
Veronica’s main difference from other survivors comes from her passive skill, Metal Frame. Instead of using healing items like medkits or pizza, she carries a rechargeable battery that restores up to 50 HP once it reaches 100% charge.
Her battery starts at 50% and gains 8% charge each time a puzzle generator is completed. This makes teamwork and generator progress crucial for her survivability.
Active Skills – Veronica’s Full Ability Breakdown
1. Vandalism
Veronica sprays graffiti on walls, creating special areas that she can interact with using her other skills.
- You can place up to three graffiti marks on the map.
- Killers can destroy them, so hide them strategically behind objects or corners.
- These graffiti zones are essential for activating her skateboard escape ability.
2. Escape
While inside the radius of a graffiti mark, Veronica can summon her skateboard to dash away.
- This move slowly drains stamina but allows high-speed escapes.
- Performing tricks near walls restores stamina and grants a small battery charge.
- Every three successful tricks give an extra 5% battery.
- Crashing into walls deals minor self-damage, so timing and control matter.
3. Broadcast (Phase, Bumper, Mobile Modes)
This is Veronica’s most complex skill, offering three switchable modes depending on your situation:
- Phase Mode: Allows Veronica to phase through the killer, granting temporary speed and resistance buffs. Best for clutch escapes.
- Bumper Mode: When you collide with the killer, you knock them back and gain battery charge. Safe and defensive, but it ends the skateboard session.
- Mobile Mode: Greatly increases speed but triples collision damage. Risky but rewarding for skilled players who can avoid obstacles.
4. Battery
This skill lets Veronica self-heal using her internal battery.
- When activated, the battery slowly drains to restore up to 50 HP.
- If she takes damage during healing, the process is interrupted and goes on a 55-second cooldown.
How to Use Veronica Effectively
- Spread Graffiti Smartly – Place graffiti in multiple areas for flexible escape routes.
- Hide Your Tags – Killers can destroy graffiti, so avoid open spots or direct lines of sight.
- Use Phase Mode for Safety – Ideal for escaping ambushes or tight spaces without losing momentum.
- Master Mobile Mode – For advanced players, this mode offers unmatched mobility but punishes mistakes.
- Complete Generators Early – Generator progress boosts your battery charge, ensuring consistent healing options.
Veronica stands out as an A-Tier Survivor — not overpowered, but highly rewarding for skilled players in Forsaken. Her graffiti and skateboard mechanics give her creative mobility options that few survivors can match.
On indoor or maze-like maps such as Horror Hotel, she can dominate chases and confuse killers with quick maneuvers. However, on open maps like Planet Voss, her tricks become harder to pull off, lowering her effectiveness.
Overall, Veronica is a high-skill, high-reward survivor — perfect for players who enjoy mastering movement and timing. In the right hands, she can easily become one of the most frustrating survivors for killers to deal with.
