MECCHA CHAMELEON Hider Guide

The hider role rewards small decisions. Choose a surface that gives you enough visual noise, sample colors from the exact area you will occupy, match brightness before detail, and use a pose that looks intentional in the room. The best hider spots are not always the darkest corners. A strong spot gives you a believable shape, blocks part of your outline, and forces seekers to spend time checking other high-probability zones. Movement discipline matters because a single adjustment can undo a good paint job.

The hider guide is where the wiki can add practical value beyond a basic rules summary. It should teach a decision tree that players can apply on any official or Workshop map. Start with surface selection: noisy textures, cluttered edges, and partial cover forgive small paint errors better than clean flat walls. Then check lighting: the same color can look wrong if the hider is too bright or too dark for the local shadow. Then check silhouette: a body-shaped outline is suspicious even when painted well. Finally, think like a seeker and ask how the spot looks from the doorway, from the center of the room, and from a side angle. Strong hider advice always includes the counter-play so it remains useful for both roles.
