Trapper In development

Trapper

Moderate

Trapper’s disabled prototype focuses on preparing routes before enemies cross them. The jar, web and spider wave describe different forms of pressure rather than interchangeable damage circles. That makes route choice the most useful part of the concept to examine.

OverviewHow to play

What the prototype shows

The toxic pool combines a slow with silence. The web needs two surfaces and adds reveal to contact damage, while the barrier gives an ally a protective role in the setup. The pursuing spider wave can repeatedly reduce spirit and spirit resistance, suggesting pressure that develops through successive connections.

What remains unconfirmed

These rules raise practical questions about placement access, web visibility and how easily opponents can take another route. Those need testing in a playable version before a build or trap sequence can be called reliable. The present records do not supply live matchup results or a release promise.

Lore

An employee of the New York Municipal Coven; Trapper spends his days building Spirit Urns, luring giant rats, and capturing various invasive species from The Outer Planes. It's not a particularly glamorous job, and he really hates working with spiders, but those Knickerbocker season tickets don't pay for themselves.
