Gameplay tips
Stalk from cover: you mark survivors far faster than out in the open.
Like Myers, leave survivors at 99% while you're far away and only finish the mark when you're close enough to down them in one hit; don't commit to long chases.
Avoid getting your power broken while marking: use stealth and mark at chokepoints and windows, where they can't break line of sight to reveal you.
