Veronica has quickly become a fan-favorite survivor in Forsaken, especially for players who love being self-sufficient and dominating the map. Unlike other survivors, Veronica cannot be healed by teammates, relying solely on her battery to recover HP.
This makes her one of the most independent and versatile characters in the game, ideal for aggressive or strategic play. In this guide, we’ll cover her abilities, optimal usage, and strategies to maximize survival and efficiency. Also check out our Forsaken Tier List.
Veronica’s Abilities and Mechanics
Veronica starts each round at 50% battery, with 100 HP, and comes with two unique passives:
- Metal Frame – Veronica cannot be healed by anyone else. Medkits, teammates, or dispensers won’t work.
- Battery – All healing comes from her battery. 2% battery equals 1 HP when activated.
Her key abilities include:
Vandalism (Spray Can): Allows you to spray and erase zones on walls. Sprays create zones where her skate ability can be activated. Efficient spray placement is critical for mobility and trick chaining.
Skate: Activated in spray zones to increase movement speed by 1.15x while draining 1.25x stamina. Tricks performed during skate can restore stamina and grant battery. However, failed tricks deal 5 self-damage. Landing three tricks in a row provides 5% battery.
Broadcast: Changes the skateboard mode between Ghost, Bumper, and Motion.
- Ghost Mode is ideal, letting you phase through killers while gaining speed and battery.
- Bumper Mode can knock back killers, but comes with risk.
- Motion Mode gives extra air time but amplifies crash damage.
Activate Battery: Converts stored battery into HP over time. Healing is interrupted if Veronica takes damage.
Tips and Tricks for Dominating With Veronica
- Place Sprays Early: Spread your sprays as soon as possible, ideally in areas with easy trick spots and access to obstacles. This ensures mobility if you are targeted first.
- Maximize Tricks: Tricks are the key to sustaining battery and stamina. Chain tricks in spray zones to farm battery efficiently, but avoid crashing—failed tricks cost HP and battery.
- Stamina Management: Don’t skate endlessly. Wait for the right moment, such as when a killer approaches, to initiate a skate and perform tricks for maximum distance. If stamina is low, perform fewer tricks to stay safe.
- Battery Farming: Use generators for battery (8% per puzzle) and combine with skating between generators for optimal recovery. Always prioritize full sprays before farming battery aggressively.
- Map Awareness: Veronica’s effectiveness depends on map layout. Identify areas with obstacles for tricks, safe loops, and hiding spots. Avoid awkward or trick-unfriendly maps like Assassin’s Training Grounds or Tempest.
- Play Smart With Ghost Mode: When near a killer, phasing through with Ghost Mode provides speed, battery, and temporary resistance. Use this to escape dangerous situations or reposition strategically.
Veronica is a survivor that rewards skill, timing, and strategy. Her independence makes her powerful but requires careful battery and stamina management. By mastering spray placement, trick chaining, and knowing when to engage or retreat, you can consistently outmaneuver killers and maximize your survival. With practice, Veronica can become the ultimate unstoppable survivor in Forsaken.
