It's Bane Day! I Wonder How I Should Play Him...

[@s3ng3n]

I am TRAUMATIZED from bane. Like why am i getting hooked when im HALFWAY ACROSS THE MAP 🗣️🙏🙏

[@knight.kisser]

Fr like when i play him i can't hook a tree right in front of me but when I'm running away through half of the map with kneejerk he just says "nope"

[@gaylegoshi]

That’s why u wait for cooldowns

[@knight.kisser]

Erm actually ☝️🤓 Not all hunters have their character days as important lore days, as well as not all survivor's days are their birthdays! It's pretty interesting because some of them are actually related to real life events, so I rummaged a bit to get all hunters that have an interesting character day (that we know of) Soul Weaver- the date of her adoption Geisha- her wedding anniversary Joseph- his brother's deathday Robbie- his own deathday Wu Chang- the Hungry Ghost festival Ripper- the date of what is thought to be the first murder by the real ripper Wheel- St Catherine day Leo- Gardener's birthday Also Patient and Psychologist have a character day on the day they escaped from the asylum together ^^

[@luyoonass]

dang the rippers one is pretty creepy😭

[@Scarlet_Rosemary]

Hiii!! I know the wiki mentions it, but it's more likely Violetta's day is about the day of when she realised what she wanted the most, that being warmth!

[@knight.kisser]

​@@Scarlet_Rosemary Thank you for the correction! I'm not a big lore knower myself, so I just gotta go off of what I find ^^

[@Fellicityy]

To add on, Ada and Emil's escape from the asylum is on the World's Mental Health day. Pretty neat detail I'd say!

[@izzielikesfrogs]

i think the reason bane hates traps is because the poachers that entered the forest he watches over killed him with one and thats why he has one around his neck

[@weeping_willows]

this isn't true he didn't die, he was dragged to the manor afterwards

[@itsdaduck]

not rly, he hates traps bc as forest ranger had best friend which was moose/deer, one day poachers attacked and killed his friend before his eyes, cut his head and put it on bane(?) head (thats why he have animal head but is human), then poachers tried to attack bane and he by mistake stepped on one of traps, ended barely alive but found by manor hunting dogs which dragged him back to safety. so like bane is human with his friend deer head on his head and compared to some other hunters hes actualy still alive

[@bloomarsbar]

@@itsdaduck so that is the reason why Bane climbs window like that, I see. I have been playing him the most but didn't care too much of his lore

[@Radicusmax_New_Art_Cult_Member]

He didn’t die. The trap was used to hold the head of Blacknose (his favorite deer) in place.

[@izzielikesfrogs]

ty to everyone correcting me in the replies i forgot bane somehow lived 😭

[@MellycatMeow]

Oh boy! Bane day, yay!….yay…!...hah….haha…..yyaaaayy….

[@thatoneverafan]

Hip. Hip. Hooray…

[@XxDeividdoxX]

My favorite thing about the birthday/character day videos Zeez does is that he always finds out that just because a hunter looks easy doesn't mean they can be picked up and just played well. It still takes skill to play "easy" or "free win" hunters. It's just that when these characters are doing well it looks so simple and doable. But it's not, most hunters have clear defined weaknesses. And I think Zeez is really starting to learn that.

[@XxDeividdoxX]

Also every video I watch of yours Zeez I see subtle improvements in your gameplay. Just because you don't notice it yourself doesn't mean you aren't getting better.

[@oomygamerchannel936]

​@@XxDeividdoxXI agree, as a bane main his major weakness is highwalls and survivors assisting to keep the one that is dead on chair stay alive

[@Radicusmax_New_Art_Cult_Member]

I agree with the both of you!

[@Radicusmax_New_Art_Cult_Member]

Just some commentary for my favorite IDV KZbinr playing my favorite character. 0:52 You guys know I usually go by just Rad, right? 1:51 May 21st is his favorite deer Blacknose’s Birthday! It’s the deer he’s wearing after the poacher he spared came back with friends and killed it before stuffing his head in it cause they were “making a Minotaur” as some kind of sick joke. Bane now plays the role of a Minotaur pretty well protecting his labyrinth, better known as the Darkwoods. 3:18 For Gamekeeper I personally run Detention, Trump Card, maxed out Sadist, and Berserk. As for trait, you can go for either Blink for a good early game or mid game, or you can go for Warp if you feel confident in your chase to help apply cipher pressure as Gamekeeper lacks it. 3:38 The nerf wasn’t too bad. The traps were the major concern I had. 4:37 Yeah it’s surprisingly easy to get pallet stunned as Gamekeeper. You never think you’re in it till the animation plays. 4:54 Yeah it takes forever to find people sometimes. 5:32 a little greedy on my end, but I would have tried to hook trap her to stall the rescue a bit longer. 5:57 Roach is truly a roach. She ran all the way back from where she portaled to block the hit. You can usually hit them through the window when they get trapped like that. Saves time. 6:31 Yeah, I know how this feels. Remember to check the crosshair to see if it is a plus sign or normal. If it’s a plus sign then it will hit a wall. Don’t use this to tell if the hook will go over an object though. Often it will still be a plus even if it goes over due to it hitting the wall behind said object. 6:48 Love the name! I’m taking it. Anyways, when doing this make sure you are still close to the trap when picking them up. I recommend putting it on them and the quickly grabbing them as they try to get away to remain close enough for it to work. When dealing with a Forward, put the trap between the two of you so he dashes into the trap instead of you and you gain a free hit. 7:37 Love it when a Chekov’s Gun trap comes into play. 7:46 Always watch the harasser especially Forwards. When you put the trap down he was already charging so you shouldn’t pick up Composer. Sorry to nitpick. 8:56 What happened? Not dogging on you this happens to me too, but I am genuinely curious. 9:50 Acrobat isn’t a good first chase target, but he’s less of a hinderance for Gamekeeper. I would have chased him. 10:07 I hate it when this happens. It takes 5 years to find someone sometimes. 10:37 Ouch, that one hurts my soul. You’d be surprised how easy it can be for certain characters to not be terror shocked by hook. 11:29 It’s a little slow. Try to be considerate of when to swing. You should know this as the S-1 Ripper. 11:54 Yeah be careful on this map. Certain areas are terrible to chase in, but other areas like Factory aren’t too bad. 12:07 Sorry it’s basic, there aren’t any cool accessories I could gift at the moment. I’d give you Lightning Claw if I could with the accessory, but it’s not available so my options were Jingling Bell or Golden Horn. 12:37 It feels like it doesn’t it? 12:19 Lakeside, Moonlit, and Chinatown are his best maps in my opinion. 12:58 I remember this from COA. 14:37 Be super careful about doing that. The hook auto aim can hit the chair and make the hook null. 15:03 That’s chip damage for you. 15:18 It sucks, but it’s not too bad. You can still do pretty well if you camp well and trap effectively. 16:22 Who did you bribe at Netease?! If that was me it was not hitting. 16:45 Speaking Facts! 19:21 As survivor it feels like years, but as hunter it feels much shorter. 19:38 Really hard to pull off and get right, but you can do this regularly with enough practice. I don’t use it, but it’s possible to learn the spots. 20:39 would have blinked here to either scare her to prolong the rescue or get the stuff. Through the wall I mean. 21:00 I too love making Terror Shock. 21:42 Fun fact, around this height you can hit her mid air with hook. 23:15 As we will see later again, there is a small blind spot in his hit-box. If you’re too close to a wall back up as you swing to get the hit. 23:29 Similar to Arm’s Factory, it’s not too bad, but the ruin areas can still pose an issue if not trapped properly. 24:34 Yeah, it is. Unless it’s super early always wait out the Flywheel. 24:53 Like I said, small blind spot. 25:39 Seriously who did you pay off? 25:55 When trying to Terror Shock stuff with hook, stay really close and hold it out so it instantly hits. 26:27 This is what I mean when I say the auto aim can hurt as much as it helps. 26:53 🫠 Unfortunately this happens a lot on hospital. 28:33 Like I always say it isn’t as bad as people think. Good accuracy is still necessary. 30:37 Always runs out when you need it most. 30:56 Best way to end it off! 32:23 Ding ding ding! We have a winner! 🥇 Glad to see you had fun Zeez!

Zeez : Bane is too op nerf him! Also zeez : *literally can't even play him without the survivors throwing every 5 seconds*

[@ZeezVovGeeV]

Just because a character is strong doesn't mean you'll do well with them without practice. Opera Singer is a perfect example of this

[@Bunnybunniesbunny]

2:22 you tell him Zeez ☝️😔

[@woowoo2475]

I love this video as usual zeez !!! bane is actually kinda hard to play and learn hook spots.His hook autoaim is totally weird in some situations, but some people will run in straight line and get surprised when the hook hits them lol. I usually go to a pallet or window to make the hunter use it, but go to the left or right instantly (no W + D or W + A, just A or D) , also you need to react faster than the bane so it actually works. its kinda like dodging jack's foggy or ann's cats

[@monkey-pm2iq]

Honestly just want to say that ur vids and streams have made my life litle bit brighter life been kinda rough like actually started playing identity v again thanks to u👍

[@towaoverdose]

CONGRATZ ON 20K!!! 😭❤️❤️❤️ you deserve it!

Bane is my favorite hunter. I love his lore, the symbolic animal characteristics and his gentle nature as a hunter. I used to main him before he got coa popular and i still love do (although im pretty bad, im cobra lol)

[@Nephrite67]

After playing Bane, i finally drilled into my brain that his hook is dumb, and he is now on my perma-ban list for rank

[@Wolf-sh9ze]

BANE APOCALYPSE INCOMING ITS THE BEST DAY EVER

[@BOOMBoom-tv4kv]

I have a suggestion. If you know you can't afford to tp to like a cipher or gate (like they popped it when you are about to tp and stuff) you can trump card to warp instead. Once you get used to aiming it it becomes a much more effective teleport. Only do this if you know teleport won't benefit you and you aren't on a giant map

[@lukasaworm2688]

If that was me counter: 10 but it’s okay because ur so right about the acro not being terrorshocked

That is a Bane specific mechanic. It means you cannot put traps in the circle's radius, and all traps placed in the radius beforehand will be removed

[@SeaPancake_]

HI ZEEZ! 2:20 He doesn't like animal traps because of poachers I think? Bane used to work at Oletus Manor and he once saved a poacher after the latter had stepped on an animal trap. The poacher then became part of the group of poachers that years later killed Black Nose (a moose that Bane considered his own child) and put its head on Bane's head to create some sort of Minotaur. Even though I don't particularly enjoy playing against Gamekeeper, I think his lore is pretty sad. (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) Thank you for the video! It was actually quite useful. Have a great rest of your day! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。 PS - I can't wait to watch Frederick's birthday video! As a Composer main I'm very excited. (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡
