Noli Patch History: What We Can Confirm

Noli has gone through one confirmed change since launch: a full passive rework. Here's what's actually documented, rather than a guessed-at changelog.


๐ŸŽฎ Release โ€” July 11, 2025

Noli released as a playable killer in Forsaken on July 11, 2025.


๐Ÿ”„ Passive Rework: Fifth Sequence โ†’ Hallucinations & Prankster

At some point after launch, Noli's original passive was replaced. This is the one balance change to his kit that's well documented, even though the exact patch date isn't confirmed.

Before: Fifth Sequence

Noli's only passive at launch was Fifth Sequence, a stamina-punishment effect:

  • โ€ขIncreased both stamina loss and stamina gain
  • โ€ขLet stamina go into the negatives โ€” the screen would turn progressively black, purple, and jittery as it did, obscuring the stamina UI
  • โ€ขStunned Noli once stamina bottomed out at -30
  • โ€ขBriefly revealed the remaining survivors' locations on a kill

After: Hallucinations & Prankster

The rework replaced Fifth Sequence with the two passives Noli uses today โ€” a shift from a self-punishing stamina mechanic to a deception-based kit built around stacking Hallucination on survivors and disguising fake generators. See the Noli Skills & Abilities guide for the full current breakdown of both.


๐Ÿ“Š Noli's Current Abilities

These are his abilities as they function right now, not at launch:

AbilityCooldownDamage
Stab1.8s25
Void Rush20s (10s at round start)10 hit / 43.5+ slam
Nova12s (starts after detonation)15
Observant30s (25s at round start)โ€”

Full mechanics, windups, and hitbox details are on the Noli Skills & Abilities page.


What This Page Doesn't Cover

We don't have a verified, dated changelog of every individual buff and nerf Noli has received โ€” specific before/after numbers for things like windup timing or Nova's radius aren't confirmed from a reliable source. Rather than guess at a patch timeline, this page will be expanded once that data is available.
