Hijacking
The disguise mechanic turns dead survivors into pressure objects. Even when the disguise itself does not land a hit, it slows how confidently the other side moves around bodies.
Ennard does not need the cleanest chase stats to be dangerous. Its value comes from uncertainty. Once survivors stop trusting what they see around bodies, revives, and straight corridors, the match gets much messier for them.
That deception-first identity is why Ennard sits near the top of the roster for many players. It does not always feel consistent, but the rounds where it snowballs can look completely unfair.

Springtrap asks whether survivors can route cleanly, and The Mimic asks whether they can read tempo. Ennard asks whether they can trust their own information at all.
That single difference changes a lot. Survivors hesitate longer around fallen teammates, double-check corpses, and second-guess straight lanes because of the pull threat.
The disguise mechanic turns dead survivors into pressure objects. Even when the disguise itself does not land a hit, it slows how confidently the other side moves around bodies.
Pull is the direct punish tool. Long sight lines stop being safe once Ennard can drag a target into melee range instead of chasing honestly the whole way.
Tracking and delayed threat are what make grouped survivors uncomfortable. They cannot just treat every recovery window as neutral space.
The best answer to Ennard is discipline. Confirm bodies before collapsing, keep spacing in hallways, and stop treating every revive window as safe just because the killer is not on your screen.
If the round is already down to one survivor, check the LMS Forecaster to understand how much the pull threat changes the final escape math.
Ennard is less mechanically strict than The Mimic, but it does ask for sharper patience and positioning. The value comes from when you commit, not from constant aggression.
Grouped survivors give more value to disguise confusion, delayed tracking, and pull follow-ups. They create more chances for one mistake to affect multiple players at once.
