Someone explain Myers please

[Coco]

As the title says, can someone please explain Michael Myers to me? I don't have the DLC, so I can't find out on my own.

1. How can he approach completely silent (no heartbeat) while in other situations, his heartbeat is well hearable?
   
2. Under which circumstances is he able to perform his one-hit-kill?
   
3. What does it mean when I hear the music?
   
4. I've watched broadcasters playing him and saw that sometimes there's blur around his center view. What exactly does this mean? Is it some special mode?
   
5. Watching that broadcast, I also noticed that he's able to highlight selected players. How and under which circumstances is this done and how do I know I've been highlighted?
   
6. When playing against him, there suddenly were symbols around my display at the lower left (looked like big brackets). What exactly does this mean? Does it indicate I've been highlighted?
   
7. Is it possible to un-highlight myself? Cause these "brackets" remained there for the rest of the game.

I totally can't handle him, so any help is appreciated. So far he seems to be a game-breaker for me...

1. He has three stages. In the first he has barely any hearbeat. In the second, it's the same heartbeat rate as for the other killers. And in the third it's a bit bigger
2. He can instantly down you in his third stage
3. It means that he has reached a new stage or that he's on stage two again after being on stage three for a while
4. It's his stalking mode. The more he stalks, the more his Evil Within meter fills up which gets him to his next stage
Don't know the rest, sorry.
But I think it's "No" for 7.

The Shape starts with 0 terror radius and slow speed (depending on add-ons). To reach level 2 evil and extend the radius and improve speed, he has to stalk someone using M2. So, when MM finds someones white ouline from stalking, he builds up evil through rank 1 to rank 2.
If the survivors are smart (i.e. they work in groups or have the skill to be looking around and watching for skill checks at the same time) this build up won't happen.
When it does and The Shape gets to rank 3, he has a 1 shot. The Shape needs a speed boost possibly for this so most use Play with your Food and build a +15% speed increase before trigering rank 3.
This lasts a certain duration again based on add ons. Some add ons stop The Shape from reaching rank 2 but increase BP and make him faster with the basic attack, some make rank 3 duration infinite, some make the M1 attack a mori. There's a lot of depth to selecting your add ons and offerings with The Shape, almost to the same extent as The Nurse.

As far as countering The Shape, speed bursts, soft window or pallet sliding, selotaping your alt key down. I don't pay survivor that much but from the people I've played, the best ones are the ones that use teamwork, testicular fortitude, and a lot of being chased into corn and crouching under the killer.

(You can add me and watch a game or 2 from The Shapes perspective but no chat or voice.)

1,2,3: He starts out with practically no terror radius. In this phase he moves pretty slowly, and his lunge is very short. If you hold down RMB while looking at a survivors you charge up a circle. Each time you charge the circle up fully, the Halloween theme plays for all survivors to hear. The first time you fill the circle, you gain increased speed and lunge. Your terror radius increasesm but it is still smaller than other killers'. When you enter this second level, you cannot "derank," meaning you can't go back to the previus phase. However, if you continue stalking people, and manage to charge the circle up a second time, you gain level 3, in which you walk very fast with a long lunge. However, the terror radius gets very big in this phase. This phase only lasts 60 seconds, until you derank to level 2. Here you need to charge up once again to gain level 3.
4: I have not noticed this. However, the edges of your POV gets a bit blurry whilst entering stalk mode (RMB). Also, when you are in the one-hit-kill phase, your vision gets slightly red.
5,6,7: If you mean that a survivor's outline is red or white, this means that you can see them and fill up your meter. When the outline of a player is red, you cannot charge up further by looking at him, and you have to find a new player. If you mean the "obsession," perks allow Michael to have a survivor as an obsession. Some perks give you ab bonus while the obsession is alive, others reward you for killing him. And the person that is obsessed is the one with the brackets around the name, yes. If you are the obsession of the killer, you will remain it for the entirety of a match.

Gonna explain it clearly, not as a brick of text :

Myers charges his power by using M2, staring at people in his sight.
Stats are listed below.
He starts at level 1.
Once he charges level 2, he cannot go back at level 1.
Once he charges at level 3, he stays in this state for 60s.

Everytime he goes from one level to another, you can hear the piano sounds.

EW1 : Survivor movement speed, nearly no lunge/rage, 6 meters terror radius.
EW2 : Same movement speed than other killers (110% survivor speed), Normal lunge, Normal Vault. 16 meters terror radius.
EW3 : Same movement speed than other killers (110% survivor speed), Normal lunge, Faster Vault, One shot with hits, 32 meters terror radius.


There is some add-ons that can change things up, but this is basically it.

Thanks guys, this really cleared it up.

Just one question remains: How do I get obsessed? When he watches me while completing a level charge or something in this direction?

[Darkheart]

He shanks people

It's random, but some perks increase the odd that you'll be the one.

Chosen randomly if a killer has a Myerks perk or if Myers is using Judiths Journal. Judiths Journal seems to put an obsession in the game as well. Allows him to build his EW power faster if he stalks the obsession.
