"Rugby is attracting attention, but William Ellis, who claims to be the founder of this emerging sport, is being forgotten. Maybe the owner of Oletus Manor can offer him some help?"
— Rumor

Template:InfoSurvivor William Ellis, or the Forward, is one of 33 Survivors IconHelpLoading survivor currently featured in Identity V.

Overview

When playing him, players can use the football to dash forward and knock the hunter off balance. The Forward will be stunned when exhausted.

If he pushes the hunter into an object, the hunter will be stunned for longer.

His decoding speed is slower than most survivors. His main job is to rescue survivors that are being carried by the hunter. Stunning the hunter into an object while the hunter carries a survivor will release the carried survivor.

He also has 10% increase in struggling speed if captured by the hunter, allowing him to free himself if carried by balloons.

Background

William Ellis

Rugby football is attracting attention, but William Ellis, who claims to be the founder of this new sport, is being forgotten. He joined a small rugby club, but not everything went his way. Can the owner of Oletus Manor help him?

Deduction Target

All completed Objectives reward the player with +335 Logic points for the Logic Path

  1. Opportunity
    Fate is the shadow of opportunity.
    • Basic Objective: Encounter 1 teammate
    • Advanced Objective 2: Encounter 2 teammates
    • Advanced Objective 3: Encounter 3 teammates
    Conclusion
    A photo: William Ellis with the school football team.
  2. Lucky Shot
    Which button should I press?
    • Basic Objective: Complete 1 calibration
    • Advanced Objective 2: Complete 3 calibrations
    • Advanced Objective 3: Complete 5 calibrations
    Conclusion
    When you have no clue how to get them going, try a hard knock! They'll be working sooner or later.
  3. Touchdown
    The place where you score points is past the gate, I guess.
    • Basic Objective: Escape through the gate
    • Advanced Objective 1: Escape through the gate
    • Advanced Objective 2: Escape through the gate
    Conclusion
    When the offense crosses the line and touches the ball down in the end zone, the player scores a touchdown and scores five points.
  4. Rugby League
    When the Athletic Association keeps telling players about "amateur spirit", you need to think about your needs in real life.
    • Basic Objective: Open 1 chest
    • Advanced Objective: Open 2 chests
    • Advanced Objective: Open 3 chests
    Conclusion
    A photo: a young William Ellis watching his teammates walking away.
  5. Team Co-op
    Just like rugby, this game also requires teamwork.
    • Basic Objective: Rescue 1 teammate from rocket chairs
    • Advanced Objective 1: Rescue 2 teammates from rocket chairs
    • Advanced Objective 2: Rescue 3 teammates from rocket chairs

    You know what we're like when we get on the field, don't you?
    • Basic Objective: Stun the hunter with a pallet 1 time
    • Advanced Objective 1: Stun the hunter with a pallet 2 times

Tips

Playing as:

  • Use the ball when the Hunter is picking up a survivor (because during that animation the Hunter can't move to avoid the stun).
  • Use the ball to reach a pallet only if the Hunter is chasing you and there aren't any other options.
  • The Forward is a rescuer, so it's advisable to use Tide Turner.

Counter:

  • When the Forward is approaching, immediately change directions to land a hit on him.
  • The ball lost durability really fast, so if you aren't kiting, rescuing, balloon rescuing, just decode.

    • An Invitation for William Ellis

      Dear Mr. William Ellis,

      People often discuss how you have an "unfair advantage" in Rugby. Contrary to what they've blabbered about, I see your "advantage" as an "extraordinary reform" to the sport. You've embedded sophistication under that muscular body of yours and successfully fooled everyone that you're merely a brute charging headlessly with a rugby ball.

      Your talent in exploiting the loophole within the rules has revolutionized the sport. For this, we welcome you to participate in this new game we have created. Your role in this operation is to polish the game rules, for the game requires a person with your physique and mind. Your participation in this treasure hunting game of ours at the Oletus Manor is crucial.

      Well, of course, as a token of our appreciation, we will fully support you, with no strings attached, in your future reform at the Rugby club.

      We look forward to your presence,

      The Host
