Let's start with the Hunter Reaper. The recommended skills are Hello There, Connection, Man of Steel, and Too Good for You.
Hello There: This skill allows you to phase through walls, extend your attack range, and reduce cooldown time, significantly boosting your chasing and killing potential.
Connection: Enhances your snowballing potential by providing 7 seconds of full-map enemy location information after a kill.
Too Good for You: A highly effective skill for locating enemies. Penguins within a certain range of a task are revealed to you, and it also reduces the cooldown time for the global slow effect.
Man of Steel: Reduces the stun duration when chasing, which is crucial since Penguins often carry stun-enhancing skills in the current version.
Key strategies for playing as Reaper:
At the start: Save your R skill until you are close to a target, then use it in combination with Flash for a kill. You can strike first and then flash since Reaper’s attack has a lingering effect, allowing for a potential instant kill. However, this tactic has a low margin for error. Beginners are advised to flash first, then strike, ensuring a 360° damage effect post-flash.
When you can't find anyone: Hit destructible objects like benches or move to potential task points to find your prey.
Control the portals: Ensure that portals are on cooldown. If a portal is active, make sure to use it to prevent Penguins from escaping easily.
Memorize portal locations: This helps you cut off Penguins' escape routes while chasing.
Countering Reaper:
Create distance at the start: Avoid doing tasks near the spawn point to prevent giving the Hunter an early advantage.
Stay on the move: Reaper’s attacks will reveal your position. Since most tasks will be detected, hiding isn't very effective unless you are the last Penguin trying to save a teammate.
Work together: The most effective way to counter Reaper is through teamwork—complete tasks together to split Reaper’s attention.

Advanced Techniques - Scarecrow
Recommended Skills:
Big Pockets: Increases the number of bombs you can place. This is crucial since Scarecrow lacks strong chase abilities and needs to rely on area control.
Wait for Me: This skill extends the stun duration, making it a lethal combination if the Scarecrow is nearby, ensuring a certain kill when stunned.
Man of Steel: Reduces the stun duration when hit, compensating for Scarecrow’s lack of chase abilities.
Panic: Provides a slight speed boost, helping Scarecrow move more effectively across the map.
Tactics:
Bomb Placement: Since Scarecrow's chase ability is weak, focus on placing bombs strategically. Target areas like gates, key task points, and high-traffic areas. For example, in the Eastern map, placing bombs near large task points or narrow paths can be effective.
Guarding Areas: Given Scarecrow's inability to chase well, it's best to guard specific areas, such as gates or task points. Position bombs near entrances or narrow pathways where Penguins are likely to pass.
Dealing with Penguins: If a Penguin is following you, keep placing bombs. Penguins often can’t outrun you if they misstep. You can force them to retreat by continuously laying traps in their path.
Counter-Strategies:
Following Scarecrow: A skilled Penguin can follow Scarecrow at a safe distance, triggering bombs right after they are placed. This renders Scarecrow’s traps useless and reduces the threat level significantly.
Cautious Task Completion: When completing tasks near potential trap locations, especially near graves, be cautious. Use the crouch key when near a teleportation gate, as Scarecrow’s bombs won’t activate if you’re crouching when landing, making the trap ineffective.

Recommended Skills:
Bolt: Increases movement speed, extends duration, reduces cooldown, and decreases control effects. This skill enhances the Vampire's ability to chase down Penguins, making it harder for them to escape.
Nowhere to Hide: A powerful tracking skill that counters the Penguins' Prop Change ability. With this skill, you can easily locate hidden Penguins.
Man of Steel: Reduces stun time when hit, improving the Vampire's ability to continue the chase.
Panic: Provides a slight speed boost, further enhancing your chase potential.
Strategies:
Bat Transformation Technique: When the Vampire transforms into a bat, you can press the skill button again to immediately land. This can be used strategically in chase scenarios: if a Penguin tries to escape using sliding or tunnels, you can use your flight skill to quickly close the gap and continue the chase, disrupting their escape plan.
Patrolling Task Points: Although the Vampire's tracking ability isn't exceptionally strong, patrolling between major task points can effectively control the Penguins' movement. Frequent patrols around these areas can force Penguins to reveal themselves.
Portal Control and Interference: Like the Reaper, the Vampire can break benches and interfere with portals to limit the Penguins' movement. This is a standard strategy during a chase to restrict the Penguins' options.
Counter Strategies:
Stay in Crouch Mode: Penguins can avoid detection by staying in crouch mode, as the Vampire will have difficulty finding them unless they are close. By carefully crouching and moving while completing tasks, Penguins can evade the Vampire's pursuit effectively.
Delay Tactics: Although powerful, the Vampire can be outmaneuvered if they do not control the portals. If the Penguin doesn't make mistakes and has some items on hand, they can drag out a chase for about 3 minutes. This can be crucial in buying time for the team to complete tasks.

Recommended Skills:
Sharp Hook: Adds additional slow effect and significantly reduces cooldown time. This skill grants the Butcher unparalleled killing power, making it almost certain death for any Penguin caught by the hook.
Grave Curse: Although rare, this skill provides information about Penguin locations near graves, though its effectiveness is limited to these areas.
Man of Steel: Reduces stun duration, improving the Butcher's ability to chase and capture Penguins.
Panic: Increases movement speed, further enhancing the Butcher's chasing capability.
Strategies:
Patrolling Major Task Points: Since the Butcher cannot easily pinpoint Penguin locations, it's recommended to patrol around major task points to search for targets.
Hook Penetration Technique: The Butcher's hook can penetrate benches, boards, and spinning wheels without being obstructed. This allows the Butcher to attack from unexpected angles, pulling Penguins through walls or other obstacles.
Attacking Through Holes: The hook can also be used through holes to pull back escaping Penguins, giving the Butcher a strategic advantage in certain situations.
Counter Strategies:
Stay in Crouch Mode: Keep crouched while completing tasks to avoid detection by the Butcher. Remain hidden in spots that are difficult to discover, and be cautious to avoid getting caught.
Refer to Additional Tips: Other relevant tips have been mentioned in earlier guides; players should review those for more detailed counter strategies.

Recommended Skills:
Shockwave: Enhances your killing ability by expanding the range and increasing the duration of the reverse hammer's effect.
Joker: A skill that provides information and disrupts Penguins from completing tasks, effectively hindering their progress.
Man of Steel: Increases resistance, reducing stun duration.
Panic: Boosts movement speed, improving your ability to chase Penguins.
Strategies:
Balloon Placement and when to use hammer: Place balloons at locations frequently passed by Penguins. When you get within about 15 or 10 meters of a Penguin, deploy the hammer to reverse their controls, making it harder for them to escape.
Hammer Timing: Timing is key when using the hammer skill; try to deploy it when the Penguin is in a position where evasion is difficult.
Counter Strategies:
1.Avoid Detection: Make sure to stay out of the Clown's line of sight, and remain crouched whenever possible. Even if you make a mistake while completing a task, the notification the Clown receives usually isn’t enough for him to locate you from a distance.
Adapt to Reverse Controls: Quickly get accustomed to the reversed controls caused by the Clown's hammer. Once you're comfortable with this, the Clown becomes much less of a threat and is essentially a hunter without any effective skills.
