The Travelers will either portray either as a Hunter or a Rebel. You can spot them in either of the following locations:

  • Small town Guerrilla War. 
  • Winery Confrontation
  • Drifters in the Terrace Depths
  • Ghost-Fire Stream
  • Ice-Sealed Maze

Casual props can be used to hide as a rebel. It is your job as a traveller to hide from the rebels before they catch you. 

If the rebels aren’t caught then you win the game. If the hunters catch the rebels then the game becomes theirs. There are special skills to help everyone out. The rebels use props in the same way the hunters use skills to blow up the cover of the rebels with the help of Winward Arts. 

Along with these, the Travelers can use favors of secret, that is a glowing Orb that is present at the end of the game. When these are picked you are charged. Rebels and Hunters can use these favors. Hunters are rewarded with Insight, Intuition, and Rebel’s rewarded with Stair Step. 

Windtrace Event Rebel Guide

The rebels need to hide out from the hunters to win the game, they make use of windward arts to do it. These skills include:

  • Lay bait: Blurs the hunter’s vision. These skills confuse the hunter and give you an ample amount of time for the hideout. 
  • Transparency: You can vanish by using this option. It disguises you like an invisible disguise. 

The Rebels also have a Secret Favour which is the Stair Step that increases their speed for the coming thirty seconds. You can choose your character according to you when not in disguise.  Do not hide near another rebel as if the hunter catches you, both the rebels will be caught. You can enter the disguised mode by pressing the E button and long-pressing E would exit the disguise button. 

You will be able to find the props in the specific area and you can obtain some props using the skill. You can hide among certain props to confuse the Hunter. The Hunter will catch you when you move or use it as spawn in the event. The hunter’s usage of burst will blow off the Rebel’s disguise with a glowing light. Run the opposite way when the Hunter is trying to catch you. 

Windtrace Event Hunter Guide

Hunter’s should capture the rebel within a limited amount of time. A few of the Hunters Windward art skills are:

  • Hunch of Mystery: It will lure you towards the direction of the rebels.
  • Sensor Aura: Search the area around yourself. It will give you a notification if any rebel is around the area. 
  • Capture: If any rebel is nearby this feature will capture them. 

The Secret Favour of the Hunter include the following:

  • Curse of Imprisonment: It binds the rebels for a short time and removes their disguise.
