The Onryo (Onryō), also known as Sadako Yamamura, has one of the most complicated killer abilities in Dead by Daylight, with a variety of different aspects of gameplay players must keep in mind. She can Manifest and Demanifest, making her a stealth powerhouse and sometimes even allowing her to jump scare players. She can also teleport to TVs around the map, which survivors can interact with to turn off and on while triggering her passive ability, Condemnation.
