c00lkidd Forsaken Guide 2026: All Abilities, Learning Order & Counters

Step 1 — Tag at point-blank range

Tag has the shortest windup in the game but only a 5-stud reach. Spend your first rounds learning how close you have to be. Take the first chase that happens near objectives, not the one that drags you to the edge of the map.

Step 2 — Corrupt Nature as a question, not a hit

Fire the projectile when it forces a bad rotate; you are buying map tempo, not only damage. Treat each shot as a question: can this survivor commit to this lane? If yes, shoot. If no, walk and herd first.

• •If it hits and the aura appears, pick a cutoff route instead of following directly behind.
• •If you miss, walk them into a longer lane and try again when they are committed.

Step 3 — Turn the aura into a cutoff

An aura reveal is only worth something if it changes your path. When it appears, work out where they will be in two seconds and cut that line. Do not run at the aura dot if a wall blocks you; take the lane that meets them at the exit. A second Corrupt Nature through the wall refreshes the information for another 10 seconds and slows them for 4.

Step 4 — Walkspeed Override only in open lanes

The lunge stops early on any obstacle, so new players waste it crossing cluttered ground. Use it where nothing stands between you and the survivor, ideally during the 4-second slow from Corrupt Nature, when their turn is weakest.

Step 5 — Pizza Delivery at survivors far away

Bots move at 14, but at 19.5 when their target is more than 70 studs away (Official Forsaken Wiki, October 2026), so send them at survivors far from you. If survivors group on one generator (up to three can work it at once), send the bots so they split them, then punish whoever stays on the puzzle.

Step 6 — Late round: punish panic lanes

Forsaken has no exit to run for; survivors win when the round clock hits zero, so late-round survivors either rush the last generators or run straight lines to stay alive. That is where the projectile shines.

• •Rotate to the generators that still have progress at risk; do not chase deep into corners.
• •Hold Corrupt Nature for a committed sprint, since panic makes dodges worse.
• •When it hits, take the reliable follow-up Tag — each kill adds 40 seconds to the clock.

Is it coolkid or c00lkidd?

The in-game and wiki spelling is c00lkidd, with two zeros and a lower-case c. The character is based on the Roblox hacking group team c00lkidd, which vandalised popular Roblox games in the early 2010s with an image of an all-red Robloxian wearing a shirt that read “join team c00lkidd today!” — the red Robloxian asset the killer takes its look from. “Coolkid” and “coolkidd” are simply how people type the name when searching; they all mean the same killer.

How much does c00lkidd cost?

Nothing. He is one of the two free starter killers, alongside Slasher. The wiki notes he was previously only obtainable by buying him in the shop for 900.

What makes c00lkidd different from other killers?

Two things the wiki records. His Tag has a 0.1-second windup, the shortest killer basic attack. And every killer has at least one active ability that cannot deal damage by itself, except c00lkidd: Corrupt Nature, Walkspeed Override and Pizza Delivery all damage survivors directly.

Does c00lkidd beat survivors in a straight race?

Yes, slowly. He runs at 28 and every survivor runs at 26, with 110 stamina against their 100. The gap is small enough that a survivor who breaks line of sight early erases it, which is why the projectile and the bots, not the run speed, decide most chases.

How does the round clock change how I play him?

A round lasts 3:00 with four or fewer players, 3:30 with five and 4:00 with six or more. Survivors shorten it by 2.4 seconds per completed puzzle layer, twelve for a finished generator and a full minute if all five fall; every elimination adds 40 seconds back (Official Forsaken Wiki, Generator page, October 2026). A c00lkidd who spends ninety seconds on one survivor while three others clear puzzles has lost the round even if he wins the chase.

Which killer should I buy after c00lkidd?

If you like control, John Doe costs 1,000 Player Points and plays a similar divide-and-conquer game with traps and walls. If you prefer running people down, Noli costs 1,100 and plays the opposite way. Player Points come only from public matchmaking: surviving to the end of a round pays 25, and private servers award nothing, which makes them a place to rehearse rather than to grind.

Who is c00lkidd in the Forsaken story?

The wiki describes him as a 10-year-old, the adopted son of 007n7 and the leader of team c00lkidd. He found an old version of 007n7's c00lgui and used it for small acts of theft and arson before being taken by The Spectre. That is why the two characters keep appearing in each other's guides; see /blog/forsaken-007n7-survivor-guide for the survivor side.

The roster

Forsaken has no perks and no loadouts, so picking a character is picking your role for the round. The wiki lists eight killers: c00lkidd and Slasher (free), John Doe (1,000 Player Points), Noli (1,100), 1x1x1x1 (1,250), Guest 666 (1,666), Nosferatu (1,922) and Azure (2,000). The 13 survivors on the main roster come in three classes: Sentinels (Shedletsky, Chance, Guest 1337, Two Time, Jane Doe), Supports (Elliot, Builderman, Taph, Dusekkar, Helperbot) and Survivalists (Noob, 007n7, Veeronica); Helperbot joined as the 13th survivor on 16 October 2026. Full kits for every killer are on /forsaken-killers.
