Forsaken is Roblox’s answer to asymmetrical horror, blending fast-paced survival with terrifying killers inspired by infamous Roblox myths and legends. Whether you’re hunting as one of these killers or scrambling to outwit them as a survivor, understanding each killer’s abilities and playstyle is crucial.

This guide breaks down the killers currently available in Forsaken. For each, we’ll cover their abilities, how to play them effectively, and strategies to survive against them.

Let’s begin!

Jason / The Slasher

Jason (soon to be rebranded as The Slasher) is the starter killer of Forsaken. His playstyle is built around close-range pressure, punishing mistakes, and applying bleed damage to survivors.

Abilities

• Slash (M1): Quick machete strike that applies Bleeding, stacking over time. Deadly when chained.
• Behead: Heavy swing that inflicts Helpless but slows Jason briefly afterward.
• Gashing Wound: Brutal combo attack with machete and chainsaw for huge burst damage.
• Raging Pace: Temporary speed and aura-tracking buff, enabling short bursts of aggression.

Playing as Jason

Jason excels at relentless chases. His kit punishes survivors who misstep, and once he lands Gashing Wound, the victim rarely recovers. The key to mastering Jason is stamina management; he has no ranged tools, so wasted stamina means lost kills.

Tips for Jason

• Focus on one survivor at a time; don’t spread your pressure.
• Use Behead to catch slippery targets or disrupt Sentinels.
• Activate Raging Pace only when you’re confident you can secure a hit.
• Slash into Gashing Wound is your bread-and-butter punish combo.

Surviving Jason

Against Jason, distance is your best friend. His entire kit relies on getting in close.

• Always maintain stamina for sprinting; without it, Jason will catch you.
• Loop around obstacles; his big swings can be juked with sharp turns.
• If he uses Behead, anticipate the animation and dodge sideways.
• Don’t underestimate beginner Jason players; his kit is simple but devastating in skilled hands.

C00lkidd

C00lkidd is a rushdown killer who thrives on speed and surprise. His abilities mix ranged pressure with sudden charges, making him dangerous in both open chases and ambushes.

Abilities

• Punch (M1): Fast jab with decent damage.
• Corrupt Nature: Projectile that passes through walls, slowing and revealing survivors.
• Walkspeed Override: A long lunge forward that burns and knocks survivors back.
• Pizza Delivery: Summons two fiery bots that hunt survivors, inflicting burn and aura reveal.

Playing as C00lkidd

C00lkidd rewards aggressive, high-tempo play. He has tools to corner survivors, flush them out of hiding, and force errors. However, his speed comes at a cost; overcommit and you’ll quickly run out of stamina.

Tips for C00lkidd

• Use Corrupt Nature early in fights to tag survivors and reveal them.
• Walkspeed Override works best in narrow spaces where jukes are harder.
• Pizza Delivery can zone survivors into your path; use it before chasing.
• Be mindful of your stamina; missed lunges are costly.

Surviving C00lkidd

The key to beating C00lkidd is anticipating his lunges.

• Always assume Walkspeed Override is available; move unpredictably to avoid it.
• Don’t group up; Pizza Bots are lethal against clustered survivors.
• If he uses Corrupt Nature, break line of sight until the aura reveal ends.
• Exploit his low health pool; coordinated Sentinels can take him down faster than most killers.

John Doe

John Doe is Forsaken’s trapper killer, using corruption trails and spike traps to control the map. He’s technical and demanding but rewards players who think strategically.

Abilities

• Natural Malevolence (Passive): Leaves a corruption trail that damages survivors.
• Slash (M1): Standard close-range claw swipe.
• Corrupt Energy: Summons spikes that block paths and deal chip damage.
• Digital Footprint: Places shadow traps that slow and reveal survivors.
• 404 Error: Reveals survivor auras for a short duration.

Playing as John Doe

John Doe is all about area control. He sets traps, blocks escape routes, and forces survivors into deadly choke points. Mastery comes from map awareness and predicting survivor paths.

Tips for John Doe

• Use Digital Footprint in high-traffic areas like generators and loops.
• Block corridors with Corrupt Energy to herd survivors.
• Time 404 Error for when survivors scatter; it helps track the entire team.
• Don’t chase recklessly, your power comes from positioning, not speed.

Surviving John Doe

John Doe thrives when survivors walk into his setups; don’t give him that advantage.

• Watch the ground closely for his corruption trail and traps.
• If you trigger Digital Footprint, expect him to chase; prepare to juke.
• Stay mobile; avoid being boxed into corners where spikes can trap you.
• Sentinels should save stuns for Corrupt Energy to prevent instant kills.

Noli

Noli is a trickster killer, using hallucinations and deception to confuse survivors. His illusions waste survivor time, while his mobility lets him strike suddenly.

Abilities

• Hallucinations (Passive): Inflicts debuffs on survivors, spawning fake items, shields, and mirages.
• Prankster (Passive): Creates fake generators to distract survivors.
• Stab (M1): Shadow tendril attack with solid damage.
• Void Rush: Fast dashes that can slam survivors into the ground.
• Nova: Void Star projectile that explodes, pulling survivors in.
• Observant: Teleports to a generator while applying Hallucination stacks.

Playing as Noli

Noli is best played as a psychological predator. His illusions create paranoia, while his speed and teleportation keep survivors guessing.

Tips for Noli

• Place pressure with fake generators early to waste survivor time.
• Use Void Rush around corners for surprise attacks.
• Combo Nova into Stab for burst damage.
• Observant is a great reposition tool; don’t waste it just for traversal.

Surviving Noli

Fighting Noli requires awareness and discipline.

• Check generators carefully; fake ones have subtle visual/audio glitches.
• Don’t panic when hallucinations appear; most deal no real damage.
• Dodge Void Rush with sharp turns; he can’t adjust mid-dash.
• Expect sudden teleports; never feel safe near a generator.

1x1x1x1

1x1x1x1 is Forsaken’s long-range zoner, punishing survivors with piercing projectiles and summoned zombies. They’re slow but relentless, making every encounter dangerous.

Abilities

• Slash (M1): Dual-sword attack that applies poison and glitch effects.
• Mass Infection: Shockwave strike that pierces and spreads corruption.
• Entanglement: Sword-throw that immobilizes survivors briefly.
• Unstable Eye: Aura reveal that also grants movement speed.
• Rejuvenate the Rotten: Revives dead survivors as zombies to pressure the map.

Playing as 1x1x1x1

This killer demands accuracy and prediction. Their power lies in zoning survivors with projectiles and using zombies for map control.

Tips for 1x1x1x1:

• Lead shots with Mass Infection and Entanglement; predict jukes.
• Use Unstable Eye to line up long-range snipes.
• Save Rejuvenate the Rotten until mid-late game to maximize zombie pressure.
• Avoid chasing in open sprints; control space instead.

Surviving 1x1x1x1

Survivors should play with height, distance, and awareness in mind.

• Stay unpredictable; projectiles are easier to dodge with erratic movement.
• Use elevation; 1x1x1x1 struggles to aim upward.
• Don’t cluster; zombies can overwhelm grouped survivors.
• If Entangled, mash quickly to break free before follow-up damage lands.

Each killer in Forsaken brings a unique flavor of terror, from Jason’s brute force to Noli’s illusions and 1x1x1x1’s relentless zoning. Whether you’re climbing the ranks as a killer or trying to survive the night, the key lies in understanding each enemy’s strengths and weaknesses.

Sharpen your instincts, keep your stamina in check, and remember: sometimes the smartest move is not to fight, but to outthink the killer. And if you’re looking for the smoothest gameplay, try playing Forsaken on PC with BlueStacks. You’ll gain sharper controls, smoother performance, and the edge you need to survive, or to dominate as a killer.
