Julie is a master of stealth, capable of slipping past the Family completely unnoticed. Her heightened stealth gives her the ability to quickly end interactions without setting off noise, obtaining tools and bone shards at incredible speeds. Julie can also evade detection from Johnny and the Cook with her unique ability: Ultimate Escape.
Julie’s Strengths And Weaknesses
Julie has the highest Stealth of any Victim, allowing her to complete actions quickly and quietly. With Julie, you canquickly obtain tools necessary for escapeand lead your allies to freedom.
Endurance is Julie’s second-highest stat, letting her disappear into the shadows once more if her Stealth ever fails her. Thanks to physical conditioning from her sporty lifestyle,Julie can make a quick getaway if Family members catch her rummaging for toolsor unlocking exits.
Julie’s unique ability,Ultimate Escape, compliments both her Stealth and Endurance. While active,this ability reduces stamina costs and prevents Julie from being tracked by The Cook and Johnny.
Julie’s lowest stats are her Strength and Proficiency. Julie’s low Strength meansshe won’t be able to overpower Family members if she gets into a close encounter, so running is always her best option.
Her lower Proficiency meansshe will take a bit to complete technical taskslike lock picking and battery disabling.
While Julie may have a lower Proficiency stat,her Proficiency shouldn’t dissuade you from engaging in technical tasks.It may take longer to complete certain tasks, butJulie’s high stealth ensures a loud noise is less likely to occur.
How To Play As Julie
Once you’re free from your restraints,search for tools to open the basement exit.Julie’s high Stealth allows you to quickly acquire tools and get that basement exit open.Obtain two tools,so you’ll have another one ready for whatever map exit you go for.
After reaching the surface,search for either the Rear Exit or Pressure Valve exit.Take advantage of your ability to quickly gather itemsand aim to unlock exits or doors that prevent you from reaching other parts of the map.
Use Ultimate Escape whenever fleeingfrom multiple Family members. This ability is too valuable to only use it for evading the Cook and Johnny’s detection skills. Boost Julie’s Endurance tomake escape possible in any situation.
Always run from Family membersno matter what.Julie lacks the Strength necessary to win fightsor to stun the Family for long.
