Appearance

Slasher is the successor to Jason and carries many of the same references. His design is inspired by Jason's appearance in the Roblox horror game Survive and Kill the Killers in Area 51, while his role as a "slasher" draws from Jason Vorhees' role as the antagonist in slasher horror films. Slasher's head is concealed by a black shroud with a crude hockey mask with a mouthpiece similar to what Hannibal Lecter wore in the movie The Silence of the Lambs. The portion of the shroud that extends to Slasher's torso is ripped and ruffled in places, and tattered across his chest like a shawl. The Necrobloxicon is stabbed into his shoulder, with a large knife pinning it in place. Slasher wears a worn-down green coat underneath which he wears a bandaged-over blue shirt. His arms are gloved and wrapped in cloth, and his legs are covered by dark pants and black, laced boots. Slasher's head, beneath the shroud and mask, is disfigured and covered in the hair of a Bacon.

Gameplay

Slasher is a Rushdown/Stealth Killer focused on close-quarters chases, ambushes, and high stamina pressure, relying mainly on his high speed and his Slash ability with his machete. Lacking ranged abilities or significant burst mobility, he is vulnerable to looping, high-coordination teamwork, and prolonged chases, which forces aggressive, high-tempo gameplay. As a result, players controlling Slasher must learn efficient stamina management and how to exhaust or cut off Survivors to counter looping. Despite these limitations, he benefits from a far-reaching set of melee attack hitboxes and a smaller terror radius than most Killers, allowing him to catch Survivors off guard and start chases at closer range. His signature effect, applied through Slash, deals damage over time, enabling quicker kills during longer chases. All of Slasher's attack abilities can also damage more than one target, meaning that taking hits for teammates against him is largely ineffectual. In other words/TL;DR: tunnel down survivors, manage stamina to gain and maintain the upper hand in longer chases, punish those who try to interfere, and maintain focus on individual targets.

Strategy

Slasher is a melee-centric Killer, excelling in close-quarters combat with devastating damage output. His Gashing Wound ability alone deals up to 50 damage (70 if he is ENRAGED.), while his other abilities deal 20 damage each, plus additional bleed effects. However, reckless play can quickly deplete his stamina, as Slasher is the only Killer in the game without ranged abilities. This makes chasing survivors (or dealing with Chance) challenging, as he is only slightly faster than a survivor and has limited stamina regeneration. To master Slasher, players must remain composed and strategic, and have good stamina management. Slasher specializes in separating survivors to finish them, so it is beneficial to generally target one person instead aiming to attack a whole group.

Redesign

Slasher was introduced as a redesign because Jason faced multiple copyright conflicts with its main inspiration, Jason Voorhees, who has an unusually fragmented copyright ownership due to a long history of disputes among multiple rights holders. The character was originally created for the 1980 film Friday the 13th, with certain rights to the screenplay and character held by writer Victor Miller, who later successfully reclaimed part of his copyright under U.S. law. However, other major elements of the character, particularly the iconic adult, hockey-mask-wearing version, are controlled by entities such as Horror, Inc. and Warner Bros. through its subsidiary New Line Cinema. This fragmented ownership covers distinct aspects of the character, including visual design, narrative traits, and derivative works, meaning no single party has full control over Jason Voorhees' image or story. These complicated claims and differing rights make any commercial use highly risky, requiring approval from multiple stakeholders. To avoid this complex legal process, the Forsaken developers redesigned Jason as Slasher, allowing them to keep the character's inspiration and gameplay while fully sidestepping potential copyright infringement.

Trivia

Slasher is the first original Killer added to the game, not being based on a previous Roblox myth or famous hacker. Slasher's intro background is based on Survive and Kill the Killers in Area 51. He is also the second Killer to have received an animated intro. Area 51 is integrated into his lore. Strangely, Slasher's intro shows him entering Area 51 from the lobby and through the main corridor, unlike Jason, whom is shown leaving Area 51 by going from the main corridor and into the lobby in his intro. Slasher uses any/all pronouns. Slasher is currently the only Killer without a ranged attack. Slasher's favorite sport is Hockey, along with the ringmaster and spectere. Slasher was previously the only Killer not based off of a real Roblox account, with the other being Nosferatu. Slasher still hears his mother's voice guiding him. Slasher's mother's name is Paula. In the post from Hytoko, Pamela (the mother of Jason, his predecessor) was renamed to Paula. Slasher is currently the only Killer inspired by a slasher horror movie. A few of his removed, unconfirmed and current skins reference fellow slasher movies, such as Michael Myers aka The Shape (Halloween), Harry and Alex Warden (My Bloody Valentine) in his Lovesick skin and Leatherface (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) in his Leatherface skin. Some could argue that Slasher's The Shining skin also counts, referencing Jack Torrence (The Shining), even though The Shining is not usually classified as a slasher film, but instead a psychological horror film.
