"I'm here to end you."
- Postman's intro
Postman is a Killer in Midnight Horrors. Postman is based off of a variety of M.U.G.E.N. fighters named Cheapies, which are characters that use code and other various hidden tricks to break other characters, M.U.G.E.N. itself, or the client runner's computer entirely. Her namesake is the Postman Method Cheapie. She was added in Version 1.50.0.
Behavior[]
At the start of the round, Postman will phase into existence, covered in a black and white smoke, at the Red Circle of Oculus and will remain briefly immobile (for roughly 3 seconds) as she announces she has come to end the players. Postman will begin to chase and attack players as soon as her introduction ends.
Postman does not target alive players, meaning she will attack anybody regardless of them being "dead" or not.
List of Postman's attacks:
- Teleport Chain - Postman will cause an large explosion around themselves, anyone caught in this explosion will be instantly killed. After the initial explosion, Postman will rapidly teleport near a random player, switching between players at random. Each teleport made by Postman during this attack will also create a small explosion around her as she teleports. The explosions of these teleports will deal minor damage if a player were to come in contact with her during the teleports. After the chain of explosive teleports end, She will create a mass of explosions around herself, instantly killing any player nearby. Postman will not teleport as long as there is a target in sight within a certain range.
- Knife Toss - Postman will toss several knives at any nearby players that are in her line of sight. Each knife will deal roughly 125 damage.
- Tracking Explosions - Postman will lock onto a player and toss a random amount of sets of knives towards the player at a timed interval. Each set of knife tosses ends with a cast of a burst of explosions on the player's location (even if the knives hit a wall). The explosions can only be outrun with the Emerald Coil and will instantly kill anything caught in the blast radius.
- Explosive Charge - Postman will cause an explosion and dash forwards at great speeds, allowing her to easily close the distance between her and the players. If a player were to be in her line of sight after the dash, she will cast an additional much larger explosion that will instantly kill any players caught. This attack will allow Postman to keep up with players moving at the speed of the Emerald Coil.
- Chained Explosions - Postman conjures multiple large explosions at its location. These explosions will deal moderate damage at a rapid pace, quickly becoming lethal the longer players stay in her range.
- Eradication - Postman will cast explosions on any nearby Ally NPCs. These explosions will instantly kill anything caught in the blast.
Notes[]
- Postman can only cast Knife Toss when there's a player in her line of sight.
- Postman's tracking explosions will continue to be casted and track players even after breaking line of sight.
- All of Postman's attacks will both bypass and deactivate the effects of Blue Relic. Although, Barrier will protect you from Postman but deactivate after being hit.
- Postman's Knife Toss can kill other killers that are hit by it.
