NetEase Games have today released the much-anticipated new hunter in their smash hit mobile title Identity V. The Geisha is an all-new hunter in the 4 vs 1 asymmetrical multiplayer game that adds a unique blend of mechanics and creates a new playstyle for players when playing as the hunter.
Players can expect the Geisha’s playstyle to be different in comparison to previously released hunters, along with her distinguished visual looks. The Geisha utilizes three forms during play which symbolizes her emotions, calm, anger, and panic. Each form has a set of pros and cons to that come with it:
Beauty Form: Assumes the Beauty form when calm: in this form her fear radius is reduced, but has faster movement speed.
Prajna Form: When Angry assumes this form, her fear radius is larger, but has slower movement speed.
Panic Form: Enters Panic form when her face is seen by a survivor: her fear radius remains unchanged, but she has slower movement speed.
The Geisha, formerly known as Michiko, was once the best dancer in Yoshiwara. After falling in love with a man named Miles, Michiko’s life was soon drenched in tragedy and she mysteriously disappeared never to be found.
Michiko’s abilities center around her three forms which is also known as her triple phases ability. Her two other abilities add to the playstyle of the geisha which focuses on stealth maneuvering and making sure the survivors don’t see her face.
Dash Hit
The Geisha assumes the Prajna form. She ignores the terrain and rushes towards the survivor closest to the center of her vision. But, should the Geisha’s face be gazed upon by a survivor, Panic form will be activated, and all special abilities negated.
Soul Departure
Geisha changes into Prajna form and jumps into the air to overlook the surrounding environment. Her Dash Hit also gains casting distance. But, should the Geisha’s face be seen by a survivor while she fears someone, Panic form will be activated, and the skill will lose its effect. Survivors’ fear also increases the Geisha’s dash speed.
The Geisha is available in-game now, and more characters and game updates are already underway. Identity V is available now on the iOS App Store and on Android.
