Overview[edit]
Mike Morton is a versatile survivor and can be very effective in rescuing and kiting. He was a former member of the Hullabaloo circus and one of its only survivors.
His bombs can be used to jump over map props like open windows, thrown pallets, and others. If used appropriately, the bombs will propel the player to a good location safe from the Hunter.
The Acrobat can also support other Survivors by distracting the Hunter with his different bombs and utilise their effects to slow down the Hunter or disable their abilities.
Each bomb has a separate function. The fire bomb manifests flames on the ground and on the hunter's body when used. It disables the Hunter's skills (eg. Bloody Queen's Mirror, Violinist's String; Blink, Peepers etc.). The nitro bomb manifests a dark brown stain on the ground. It reduces the Hunter's interaction speed (vaulting, trampling pallets etc.). The sticky bomb manifests a white powder on the ground and frames the Hunter's screen with white powder when used. It slows the Hunter's movement speed.
Background[edit]
An exuberant and cheerful man, he is a former member of the Hullabaloo circus and one of its only survivors. His only goal is to find the real killer who destroyed his home.
Mike’s birth circumstances are virtually unknown, however, at some point in his early childhood, he was taken in by a man named Bernard, whom he saw as a father figure. He was raised in Bernard's circus called "Hullabaloo" which is where he learned acrobatics and juggling. Bernard would often scold Mike for his mischief, such as wanting to put stones in his juggling balls. At some point, a bottle of strong acid was stolen from Mike; coincidentally, around the same time that Joker's face was burned. Bernard is implied to have suspected Mike of this crime, but Mike denies this, only mentioning buying another bottle of acid before Bernard finds out about this "mismanagement." Eventually, a disaster happens inside of the circus, leaving Mike and few other members alive out of sheer luck and the rest dead. After the deaths, Mike found that the only other survivors were a strange couple, one by the name of Natalie. Now desperate and having lost the only things that mattered in his life, Mike's only goal in life is to find the true murderer of those he cherished.

Hunters stepping into this zone during the Aftereffect period will be affected by its effects, and thus returning the ground immediately to its original state.
Sticky Bomb Slightly reduces Hunter's Movement Speed. If the Hunter is hit by the exploding Sticky Bomb or if the Hunter is repeatedly affected by its Aftereffects, the Hunter's Movement Speed will be greatly reduced. Nitro Bomb Slightly reduces Hunter's Interaction Speed. If the Hunter is hit by the exploding Nitro Bomb or if the Hunter is repeatedly affected by its Aftereffects, the Hunter's Interaction Speed will be greatly reduced. Fire Bomb It can burn Hunters and disable all Hunter skills for a period of time.

Birthday Letter[edit]
Dear Mr. Arthur Russell,
The investigation report you've sent last time was of great assistance to me. In regard to the animal tamer Natalie, also known as Margaretha Zelle, I wish to acquire further information on her upbringing as well as her life before the circus. Starting next week, I will be out of town for a while, and your salary will be paid in the same payment method per usual. There is no need to send in your report this time. I will pick them up at your residence.
I look forward to your reply
Yours Truly,
Mike Morton
