"Peddler" (Valentina Yaga Vasilyeva) in Identity V is a new hunter character expected to be officially released in the version update on April 17, 2025. Her design is inspired by the witch figure from Russian folklore, dressed in a luxurious purple gown and holding a balance scale, exuding a mysterious and elegant aura.
After the collapse of the original "Happy Home," the past Peddler vanished as well. The grim moonlight shines on the distant, gaunt figure, and that strange song will forever echo in the night...
▍ Basic Information
Peddler has a moderate movement speed among hunters, with a vault time of 1.83s and a destruction template duration of 2.54s, at a speed of 4.6m/s. She has a faster normal and charged attack recovery time, with 0.66s and 0.9s respectively when a hit is missed. Therefore, Peddler is highly capable in terms of chase abilities. Additionally, her skills make her equally strong in controlling the map and chair camping. Below is a detailed introduction to Peddler's skills.

▍ Skills
"Goods Exchange"
Peddler can absorb various components within the environment and disable their functionality, while gaining corresponding abilities for herself. The maximum amount of a single ability stored is 2, and the total maximum capacity for all abilities is 5. Peddler can freely switch and release stored abilities.
"Small Profits"
Peddler can absorb elements from surfaces, obstacles, and metal components within 8 meters, causing them to change. The absorption process lasts 1 second, during which her movement speed is reduced by 50%.
Surfaces:
Can absorb natural elements within a 1.5-meter radius and cause a withering effect in that area for 12 seconds. Survivors entering the withered area will be bound by vines for 2 seconds. After successful absorption, the ability "Nature Trade" is obtained.
Obstacles:
Can absorb the rubble from certain obstacles, causing part of it to disappear and creating a free-moving space lasting 14 seconds. After successful absorption, the ability "Rubble Trade" is obtained.
Metal Components:
Can absorb metal elements from un-decrypted cipher machines, unopened chests, unactivated controllers, cabinets, and carnival chairs with no survivors sitting in them, making them un-interactive for 12 seconds. After successful absorption, the ability "Heavy Metal Trust" is obtained.
"Nature Trade"
Acquired by absorbing surfaces. When released, the vines in the basket continuously grow forward. When the vines hit a survivor or obstacle, clicking the skill button again will pull Peddler to the target location. If the target is a survivor, the vine’s growth length will cause a binding effect lasting 0.5-2.8 seconds.
The maximum vine length is 35 meters.
"Rubble Trade"
Acquired by absorbing obstacles. Can select a specified area within 15 meters to release rubble. When the rubble reaches the specified location, it will explode, dealing half the fear value of a normal attack to survivors within the range. This creates a rubble area lasting 10 seconds. Survivors entering this area will be exposed and suffer a 20% reduction in interaction and decoding speed for 8 seconds.
"Heavy Metal Trust"
Acquired by absorbing un-decrypted cipher machines, unopened chests, unactivated controllers, cabinets, and carnival chairs with no survivors sitting in them. When released, gems will surround Peddler. For 8 seconds, all control, knockback, and slow effects on Peddler are reduced by 50%, and her maximum attack range increases by 2 meters, with a 10% increase in movement speed.
First-Phase Passive Skill: "Daily Earnings"
The maximum absorption range increases to 12 meters.
Second-Phase Passive Skill: "Profit Beyond Expectation"
Reduces the absorption cooldown time.
