Battle: Yumi vs. Hannah -- Who takes the throne?

[Queenのee™]

Both of these characters are both so very similar -- in speed, endurance, bravery, etc. However, in your opinion, who do you think is the better investigator all around? I remind you that: (1) both of these investigators have low stealth, so the (A.I) creature will always target them; and (2) their exploration values are not high. In my opinion, I will always choose HANNAH over Yumi due to: (1) Hannah is a bit faster than Yumi, (2) Hannah has (generally) better battery life stats, and (3) Hannah (generally) has better bravery stats. Hannah is a fantastic Guard and Caboose who can help her teammates while also surviving a few solo encounters with the creature. The only PRIMARY deteriment of HANNAH is her deafness/low exploration trait. Other than that, she's awesome. Love love love love HANNAH <3 #TeamHannah

Overall I probably like Hannah a little more but I'd say Yumi takes the cake in survivability. I like Hannah more because I feel like she has a defined role that assists the team in actually staying alive and getting to the sigils, even if it's not by finding clues. Yumi, while probably being better at staying alive within a group, doesn't really help her groupmates survive like Hannah does nor is she able to find clues that efficiently.

That being said, I do appreciate Yumi for her versatility. She's somewhat of an all-around character considering her skins. Despite their similar stats, I feel like due to traits Hannah's role is way more pinned down to a safe caboose investigator while Yumi might be closer to a generalist pick.

Matching with beginners, Yumi, cause u need to dodge your teammates. When u're alone, even there's a punishing traits, the abit higher overall mobility and stealth is better for surviving and stalking. Even if u'll be devoured finally, spamming the line, "i've to take a picture of this!" "i've to take a picture of this!" "i've to take a picture of this!"can effectively tilt most edgy creature beginners^^

Matching with veterans, Hannah would be The Queen. Your team play won't be meaningless anymore. Irreplaceable cabooser, what's more, you can strafe the darkness with ur amazing 360no scope, without being too slow, more importantly, the DOOMSDAY of Lilith and Morgul.

the question indicates that there is something like a tear list/ idea which I hardly accept. If you ask for personal preferences, I'd take hannah, mainly just because of the much better battery management.
I hardly play both maybe because of my experiences in random internet games where I see yumis and hannahs with toy torches , moaning in my ear all the time, rushing infront of me to take clues, not caboosing and just defend themselves.

both main role is backguard imo, because they are fast and have enough bravery aswell. in that case better battery management and the pos trait of hannah is and advantage

LMAO, YES Mr. Geff, you have shared your frustrations with players who take these characters. xD I wholeheartedly agree with you.

It depends on the situation. Both Hannah and Yumi have situations where one clearly trumps the other.

Protecting your team: Hannah > Yumi

Hannah wins due to much higher Flashlight and Agile, which makes Hannah the best guard for close range monster caboosing as she can keep up with the monster's advance the most. Whereas Yumi although faster by a slight margin with Curious active, just can't deal with the Speed reduction penalty when walking backward. Pair that with lower Flashlight stat on Yumi, and it's clear that Hannah is better at protecting the team.

Lasting longer games: Hannah > Yumi

Due to Hannah having her Speed always at a static value, and with higher Flashlight, Hannah is much more suited to longer games than Yumi. Yumi starts getting weaker in the mid-late game due to Curious being inactive as battery drain gets higher, meaning Yumi needs a lot more batteries to keep up in the late game than Hannah does.

Tapefinding ability: Yumi > Hannah

Although They both have the same Exploration rating, Hannah suffers in this category considerably because of Deafness, which greatly increases how long it takes to find tapes as the range at which she hears them is much smaller, meaning that even in blue dot range of tape Hannah still might struggle to find a tape where Yumi won't.

Sanity Management: Hannah > Yumi

The reason for this is due to Hannah's Agile trait and having much more consistent speed, she doesn't need to run to catch back up to her group after running back checks due in part to Agile, and that Sanity loss from running does amount to a lot in the late game. It also doesn't help Yumi's case that she has to be much closer to the monster to stun it, which increases Sanity drain as she'll be exposed to the monster for longer than Hannah will.

Mobility: Yumi > Hannah

Yes, although Hannah has a higher base Speed stat than Hannah, she does actually move faster while Curious is active by a tiny 1%. That's not all though as Yumi also has a higher Endurance rating than Hannah does and it can get higher with one of her skins. Although Curious can run out and leave Yumi moving 4% slower than Hannah, that extra Endurance still elevates her to a level that is barely under Hannah. Pair this with the fact that Hannah is forced into her Amber skin to ever have a chance to be faster than Yumi, and the faster choice is clear.

The only time Hannah is faster than Yumi is when Yumi picks the skin that reduces her Endurance and has her Battery under 50%, which is a rare enough situation anyway as not many people use that skin.

General Survivability: Yumi > Hannah

Yes, Yumi is queen in terms of survivability here. She has better mobility and Stealth by default, which is extremely helpful for surviving as Hannah can be killed by monster powers as her Stealth rating of -3 is terrible. And although Yumi has less Range than Hannah, most of the time Range is more for your team's survival rather than your own.

There you go. I personally prefer Hannah as most experienced teams have a good enough leader that you can afford to have not tapefinding ability, but Yumi is nicer in public matches where you might need to do a lot more on your own.

I personally prefer Yumi, shes all I play and nobody else unless I'm forced to. I've played Hannah, I don't like not being able to hear tapes/clues. Naturally I'm the leader in most of my matches, I'll make the callouts for my team and lead them where to go. The battery managment hasn't been a problem for me, most of the time I can manage being in the dark. Just my preferrence :)

Makes sense, it's her best carry skin as the increased Exploration means you can actually find stuff on your own. The Endurance penalty is bad, but I rarely find myself needing Endurance in pub games where you friends are your meatshields. <:>

Very comprehensive analysis between the two characters; I love it. Both are quite beneficial and unique in their own ways!

High Speed characters are always useful. I hope we get one more 7/8 Speed just for the sake of being able to go a full 7-8 Speed team.

I hope not..

[Lemme Cleanse]

I prefer Hannah. Yumi can carry good, but Executive Jean can do it better. Hannah's traits let her duel more with creature and protect the team. Hannah is a good creature troll. Even Astaroth is reluctant to use breakdown on her bcuz she'll just run away for days xD

We definitely don't need that. Speed meta is already too overpowered as is.
