The Oni

Difficulty: Very hard · Patch 10.2.2, data from October 28, 2026.

A monstrous Killer, able to absorb the blood energy of his injured foes, and then use that energy to transform into a brutal demon. Using his power, Yamaoka's Wrath, he can rush down Survivors at great speed and deal deadly strikes with his kanabō.

Power

Yamaoka's Wrath

Yamaoka's Wrath

Yamaoka's Wrath: he absorbs Blood Orbs dropped by injured Survivors and enters Blood Fury (Demon Dash 7.82 m/s, Demon Strike).

Full power text

The desire to destroy weaker bloodlines shaped into a literal force.

YAMAOKA'S WRATH

Absorb Blood Orbs left by your injured foes. Press and hold the Power button to absorb Blood Orbs in the environment and fill your power gauge. When your power gauge is full, press and hold the Active Ability button to initiate Blood Fury.

Blood Fury: While Blood Fury is active, The Oni becomes lethal and gains access to additional abilities: Demon Dash and Demon Strike.

SPECIAL ABILITY: Demon Dash

Press and hold the Power button while Blood Fury is active to perform a Demon Dash. This ability allows The Oni to cover large distances at high speed.

SPECIAL ATTACK: Demon Strike

Press and hold the Attack button while Blood Fury is active to perform a Demon Strike in the direction you are facing. Demon Strike has an extended lunge range and successful hits immediately put healthy Survivors into the dying state. Hitting a dropped pallet or breakable wall will special-break it.

Sloppy Butcher makes survivors bleed more, so more blood orbs for his power. Zanshin Tactics is his own perk.

"Scourge Hook Build" variant: a different playstyle from the standard build, to vary your matches.

How to counter

  • Injured Survivors drop orbs (crouch 1, interaction 2, failed check 2, hook 5): heal quickly to give him fewer orbs.
  • A pallet stun ends Blood Fury only if his gauge is above 99 or below 5.
  • He loses 7 s of Blood Fury for each downed Survivor: Blood Fury does not last forever, play for time.
