Abilities

Swing

Swings the fire axe at the killer. On hit, interrupts the killer's current action and applies Blindness and Deafness (Deafness added in April 7 update; Blindness duration also increased). Charge stacks from successful Parries enhance Swing. Source: Fandom Wiki bite-by-night.fandom.com/wiki/Fighter.

Blindness + Deafness on killer (post April 7 buff); enhanced by Parry Charge stacks

Parry

Press E to block an incoming close-range killer attack. Success: stuns the killer for 1.5 seconds and grants a Charge stack (enhances Swing). Miss: applies 2 seconds of Weakness to the Fighter. Only works against close-range attacks — does not block ranged abilities (e.g., The Rotten's axe throw). April 27 2026: Parry hitbox enlarged (bigger window to land successful parry).
