THIS is how you counter NIGHT WATCH | Identity V

[@mcdoomer194]

A few more survivors that I've figured out to counter Night Watch! - Professor: He excels at countering M1 killers, which is made even easier since you can quite easily predict when he attacks (when the wind ends), and NW's hitbow is so weird that it usually issues a hit anyway. After 1000 presence, the strong pull also makes it easy for Professor to predict the normal attack. - Magician: great at bamboozling NW when he's using Tempest. After 1000 pull its also really easy to juke the strong pull, by just spending a use of the wand. Even if you still get sucked, I've found that your own illusion can hold you in place. Also, M1 is easy to predict. - Perfumer: self explanatory. can even waste a strong tempest if used correctly. When the NW starts to use the weak Tempest, you can drop a perfume, run BACKWARDS to force a skill cancel/hit then return. I've found that to be quite bamboozling. Same can be applied to Magician when invisible, since it gives them a speed boost. - Acrobat's fire bomb is quite effective at making NW useless for a while.

[@alvintan3263]

Hi! Finally saw this video of yours! What about using Patient/toy merchant. is it possible?

[@SmubFinger]

you forgot to mention magician gets a 40% speed boost after using wand. When he sucks you in just like Gamekeeper his hitbox won't be able to do anything just with that alone.

[@DarlingJav]

I once cancel night watch skill with batter and knockback him

[@rqj5502]

As a player who mains another character who can silence hunters I am disapproving of this especially after his nerf. Thief can actively make Ithaqua lose his tools when they matter most, and considering it's more easily usable after one silence, I'd say he's pretty damn viable

[@Kxgwa]

Yes this has taught me how to counter the kiters now

[@-lowquality-3384]

*gasps*

[@trickstercode3966]

Then they shall learn...

[@Ratty2]

Omg they have learned too much 😮

[@Kxgwa]

@@Ratty2 yes

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not

[@kinukoowo5223]

At the end, a good perfumer counters everything. -Sun Tzu, art of kite

[@Safelity]

And then an ann pull up…

[@Vantablack69]

I've found the Prisoner is really good against him. As you said, stunners counter nightwatch. Since he's a coder, he's often targeted first, but as long as you're good at kiting (with big walls) your shock charges every 30 seconds. Keep him busy until your charge is up and keep shocking until all ciphers are done. Or he gives up.

[@yunnhateslife]

I would like to leave some extra things about toy merchant and patients being able to counter night watch 1 - patient can use his hook to leave the tempest area as it will not be canceled, being a very solid counter. 2 - Toy merchant catapults cant be interrupted with tempest, making it a quick escape from it, specially if it lands inside a building 3 - even with strong pull, you can still use the catapult if u have enough distance / use it before his animation to push you happens 3 - her glide will NOT slow down with tempest, and the hunter can only stop you from gliding if he uses the strong pull in the same height as you, which is really rare

[@rye8162]

Your videos are always so well put together and clean, making it easier to follow along the very helpful information. Always excited to see you post! I know a lot must go into making these! 👍

[@6BloodyRoad9]

as a goofy embalmer main i'll try to do my best thanks to your tips

[@dumblue7254]

Thank you!!! I had a very hard time against his strong winds. And the jumps he makes are very strong! Thanks again

[@doudouce984]

I clicked by accident on your video instead of saving it for later but it was actually really interesting tysm! It helped me a lot ❤

[@aki_7778]

Your vids are always so pleasing to watch, amazing work ❤ I remember this little girl kept canceling my wind when I was using nightwatch, I don't think she was doing it on purpose so that I didn't have any skill bc the hunter wasn't even available in shop yet, but it was so frustrating 😭 Also his hit box is very weird... kinda like geisha.

[@mellowmistel]

Aw... Thanks! And yeah, LGs are just hard to deal with when playing NW. xD And his hitbox is kind of a "u" shape, I guess? I tested it in single training mode just to see how long his hitbox was. It's about the size of a pallet but a little longer.

[@b17tch4ssh0e]

imo he has a pretty generous hitbox. Similar to Naiad’s

[@SL-dn6rn]

Since night watch is still new, experimenting with diff traits and survivors in regular matches can help you strategize on the long run. It also helps to play the hunter from your POV bc you can find what obstacles you might face. 👍 So far, my main picks lately have been gardener, LG, postman, enchantress, and laywer depending on the maps that got me a decent chance of escaping.

[@that_tvhead]

as an ithaqua/emily main (michiko/ada side main): I do struggle on Arms Factory the most often as Ithaqua. Running around oddly shaped objects' corners is a great way to kite him as a survivor. IT. FUCKEN. WIMDYYYYYYYY

[@peperland4816]

your channel is always so helpful!!Thank you for making nice videos ^^

[@spider_lily]

Thank you for the information, now i know how my enemy survivors kite when i use nightwatch😊

[@iggyisaboi2271]

thank you this really help me facing him, espeacialy as decorder main.

[@ihrmoos_]

Me watching this as a newbie night watch main 😢 That's still fun tho xD he's not that hard but I still struggle a bit hehe

[@kagira9856]

You're rank saver my lady damn

[@Yuina_Isreal]

Your video helped me a lot in kiting, I like how your videos are detailed and easy to understand.:>

[@MollyMollyKan-me2gr]

I actually find running backwards while the Nightwatch is using tempest really useful especially if I use the Antiquarian. Maybe because the players are beginners at using him…

[@MollyMollyKan-me2gr]

Yes I also do the same with the perfumer

[@dr-weeb]

Maybe you just didn't met a decent night watch yet. I was once matched against alligator nightwatch and our team was literally annihilated without any chances of winning. Even when we countered his tempest, he always had windwalk to keep up, his persona also didn't even have detention, it was solely built to win before 5 ciphers pop

[@MollyMollyKan-me2gr]

I see now what you mean by decent players at night watch. DANG they are good. I would love to see more of your videos. Cause you are always giving great tips.

[@junnishoo_533]

OMG THANK U THANK U!!! I LOVED THE WAY YOU EXPLAINED, IT WILL REALLY HELP ME IN RANKEDS!! , thank u so much for making this video 💕

[@booskwn]

every time you post you make me so happy i feel like leaping in joy just so you know i love you

[@mellowmistel]

Awww... That makes me happy, too! ❤️

[@booskwn]

@@mellowmistel I LVOE U SO MCUH [crying]

[@-Mousey]

I was waiting for you to make a NW video! 😊💙🐭 I did start using Wildling again and he works well against night watch while on the boar and then just tight kiting until the boar CD is refreshed. I’ve had quite a few NW waste so much time on me when they find me first as wildling and next I know all ciphers are popped 🐗 😂

[@hans...]

Just came back to IDV after a 1 year break, what is this quality

[@addicttt]

tysmm, I would get upset whenever I see him bc I don't win bc of his skills💀

[@Its_me_AXE]

Well explained, You deserves more subscribe✨

[@izaniejeje2765]

LMAO I Still can't found the difference lamp glow. But thanks for the tips ☺️☺️☺️

[@wilvemoon]

The video I needed after a really sad rank day❤

[@R0beRt816]

oh thank god i watch this. i really bad when it come to counter him like i will die in the minute,not gonna lie this video really save my butt

[@lyla3704]

u should def do a guide on opera singer!

[@exogen9428]

Can you upload a video on how to USE night watch when we play against survivors who know how to counter him? 😀

[@errorbun]

Nah i hope everyone watches this bc i cant with people banning him in rank 😔 but please make a how to kite ripper and clerk tut

[@Frenchonionsoupp]

Nah he’s still gonna keep getting banned

[@miu2114]

Man he’s one of the hardest hunters to counter

[@ashlingscales]

Thank you! Your video was quite usefull!

[@AdoreableGaming]

I’m surprised so many people struggle against night watch

[@acerolaroxa2143]

If you can make a video helping to loop "The Wheel brothers" the only thing I know is to keep running in the same structure until the hunter gets tired of you.

[@orphy-wz3ws]

3:36 I wonder who is that survivor next to composer? (The other side not the antiquarium)

[@4ryya]

its Alice

[@lindaqu9289]

I main night watch and I feel like I should switch mains after this because I keep losing my ranked matches ever since I switched to night watch

@@poppyboy1143 I'm griffing ranking with forward and 300ms

[@aki_7778]

You're so unpredictable because of lag that the hunter can't keep up with you and thinks you're hacking

[@nikvsv8742]

It's simple just uninstall the game

[@CadaverKuma]

@@nikvsv8742 spent too much time on the game, I can't just quit

[@asealJFM]

The thing i hate the most with is his hitbox, because as antiquarian player i can make him away but his hitbox is too fast

[@Brixerr]

Damn didnt know that FD was a counter to night watch guess im just bad at kiting him

[@mellowmistel]

Takes practice. XD He's a new hunter, after all.

"just remember to not cancel attack recovery" hahaha... What do you think about that, LITTLE GIRL?? i still think that change is unfair :p

[@SonicHedgehog1991]

*"This* is how you counter Nightwatch" *ban him before Hunter gets to pick him*

[@MarysWifey]

I am wondering, how to raw kite Night Watch and I mean with survivors like Tracy and Helena and without kiting builds

[@Frenchonionsoupp]

You literally cannot that’s why people ban him because his chase is just boring and annoying to go against

[@TuberoseKisser]

Honestly I just 360 him because his hitbox is trash and they just end up changing targets

[@pussinboots9983]

Me as a Night Watch main: *interesting*

Praying survivors don’t use any of these tips on me -nw main

I use dancer to kite him

[@AhmadHilmi-o1d]

Thx u so much

[@alvintan3263]

Run backwards meaning run towards night watch when using perfumer or just continue to run but facing him?

[@mellowmistel]

Running back towards the hunter. ^^ Because the hunter can attack while doing Tempest.

[@alvintan3263]

@@mellowmistel so run past him so that he will not be able to attack me?

[@kluaytodnampla]

@@alvintan3263 Don't run into him. He will just cancel the wind and hit you. It's said in this video...
