Identity V is a game that combines the elements of “horror”, “asymmetrical combat”, and “cooperative play”, and although it may seem easy to understand at first glance, it is actually extremely difficult.
When a beginner plays,
- Get caught quickly
- I don’t know what to do
- I feel like I’m causing trouble for my allies
It’s easy to feel that way, and
many people get frustrated at that point.
In this article, we will explain in an easy-to-understand manner the “minimum things you need to know” for beginners who have just started playing Fifth Personality, from both the survivor and hunter perspectives.
What kind of game is Fifth Personality (explanation for beginners)
The fifth personality,
- 4 survivors
- 1 hunter
.
Survivor Objective
- Crack the cipher machine
- Open the gate and escape
Hunter’s Purpose
- Catch a survivor
- Restraint in a chair and make it fall off
The essence of the game is how to
achieve this simple objective with limited time and information.
Points where beginners stumble at first
The reason why beginners are easily confused by the Fifth Personality is clear.
- Tutorial alone is not enough
- The division of roles is tacitly agreed.
- Mixing with advanced users
In other words,
This is a game that has a lot of “knowledge that would be a nuisance if you didn’t know it.”
Why beginners should start with Survivor
In conclusion,
It is recommended for beginners to start with Survivor rather than Hunter.
Reasons
- You can memorize maps
- You can observe the hunter’s movements
- Responsibility for failure is distributed
As a hunter takes full responsibility,
If a beginner suddenly chooses one, it will put a heavy mental burden on them.
The first role that Survivor beginners should learn
Survivors have an implicit role.
Main role
- Decoder: Turn the cipher machine
- Rescue role: Helping captured comrades
- Chase role: attracting hunters
For beginners,
Make “running the cipher machine” your top priority.
Unforced rescues and chases will
cause the match to break up.
Basics of cipher machine decoding (super important)
Beginners should be aware of the following first.
- Touch the nearest cipher machine for the opening
- Leave when the cipher machine shakes
- Do not use the same cipher machine with 3 or more people
In particular,
It is no good to run around without decoding.
The Fifth Personality will never win unless the
cipher machine is turned.
Precautions when helping captured comrades
A mistake that beginners often make is
immediate rescue.
Basics of rescue
- Wait until half of the chair’s durability is reached
- Locate the hunter
- It is important to decide not to go if it is impossible
If rescue fails,
- I get caught too
- The game suddenly falls apart
This is the worst development.
Minimum things to be aware of when chasing
It is natural that beginners are not good at chasing.
First of all,
- Don’t run away straight
- Be conscious of windows and boards
- Don’t be greedy and keep your distance
This is all you need.
“Escape for a long time” rather than “Escape for a long time”
This is the correct answer for beginner chasers.
What beginner hunters should know
If you want to start being a hunter,
Please understand the following first.
- It’s natural that you won’t win at first
- If you chase too much, the cipher machine will advance
- It is necessary to decide to cut off an impossible chase
For beginner hunters,
- Don’t get too attached to one person
- Watch the progress of the cipher machine
Just being aware of this will stabilize your situation.
Character trends that are easy for beginners to choose
Survivor
- Simple operation
- Character who can concentrate on decoding
Hunter
- Frank attack performance
- Character with few complicated operations
If you use a technical character from the beginning,
you’ll end up in a state where you won’t know what’s wrong.
Actions that beginners should not do
This is very important.
- Wander around without deciphering
- Lian Yao is the rescue
- Silent placement and cutting
- Going into a ranked battle without knowing
Especially in ranked battles,
It is good manners to go after getting used to it.
Tips to speed up your progress
For beginners to improve,
- Using the spectator function
- Imitate the movements of skilled people
- Think of one point for reflection for each game
This alone will change the growth speed.
The fifth personality is a “knowledge game”
The fifth personality,
- Reflexes
- Aim power
than
- Judgment
- Understanding the role
- Map knowledge
is an important game.
In other words,
Even beginners can definitely improve by just adding knowledge.
Summary: Beginners don’t have to rush
- Everyone is a nuisance at first
- Failure is normal
- Accumulating knowledge will definitely make you more fun
Fifth Personality is certainly a difficult game, but
Once you understand it, it becomes uniquely fun.
First of all,
- Decipher
- Don’t overdo it
- Play while remembering
Keeping this in mind,
Get used to it little by little.
