Hey fellow Detectives! Decoding cipher machines in Identity V can be super stressful, right? Especially when the hunter is hot on your heels! I've spent countless hours trying to master this crucial survival skill, and I wanted to share my personal tips and tricks to help you decode faster and secure those precious escapes. First off, choosing your survivor wisely makes a huge difference. For example, if you're playing as the Gardener (庭师), her abilities can be incredibly useful for maintaining cipher progress, especially if you get interrupted or need to move. The Professor (教授) can also be a great asset with his unique skills that can buy you precious time during a chase, allowing others to finish their decoding. Even characters like the Priestess (祭司) can quickly move between ciphers to help teammates or finish one up in a pinch, making cross-map decoding much more efficient. Don't forget about characters like the Wildling (野人) who can distract the hunter, giving teammates a clear path to decode. My biggest advice for decoding is always to be aware of your surroundings. Keep an eye on the hunter's location through their terror radius or by observing your teammates' pings. Nothing's worse than having "1個の暗号がまだ解読されていません" flash on your screen and then getting instantly downed! If a hunter approaches, don't panic. Sometimes, a quick tap of the cipher, then running to a safe kiting spot, is better than staying and getting hit. Remember the OCR phrase: "追撃される" (being chased) is part of the game, but learning to escape the "追撃" (chase) can save the game for your team, allowing others to continue decoding without interruption. Calibrations are another big one! Missing those perfect calibrations can really slow down your progress. My personal trick is to anticipate them and try to hit them precisely. It takes practice, but the speed boost is totally worth it. The Antiquarian (骨董商) is a great example of a character who can skillfully manage the map and ciphers, providing support while others focus on their decoding. Teamwork is key too! If you see a teammate being chased or needing "援助" (assistance), sometimes it's worth taking a moment away from your cipher to help. A well-timed "救援" (rescue) can turn the tide of the game. If someone else is decoding near you, try to coordinate. Double decoding a cipher can be super fast, but make sure you both aren't targeted by the hunter. Communicating with pings about cipher progress or hunter location is vital. And for those tricky moments when the hunter changes targets ("注意!ハンターを変えた!"), be ready to react! If they stop chasing someone else and head your way, quickly assess if you can finish your cipher or if you need to run. If you're the last one on a cipher and you hear "脱出口が更新済みです" (exit gates updated), that's your cue to make your way to an exit safely. Remember, every second counts. Practice makes perfect, so keep honing your decoding skills and you'll be leading your team to victory in no time!
