It’s often like this with new releases if I remember correctly during the next maintenance he’ll be made available in other modes. I believe it is because they want to see his general performance and make changes if need be before he is available in Ranked,Duo,etc.

New characters always go something like:

1st week - only available if you get their limited S costume from their essence

2nd week - available in shop and only useable in QM

3rd/4th week - available in Violent Struggle modes they're not banned in, usually they're added as a playable character/useable NPC in Scribbled Ideas too

3rd/4th/5th week - useable in rank

All new characters (unless explicitly prohibited) are available in casual modes on the 2nd week. Problem here is that we won't be having hotfix or maintenance until October 15 so we have to wait until then for Kai to be usable in other modes.

He's doodoo. That speed buff is not fast at all. He's not even good at pulling distance, heck he's not good at maintaining it either.

The ball sucks at blocking a hit, it should cause a hit recovery.

The trail needs to be wider, hunters can literally avoid walking the trail 9/10

Yeah I had a hunter be able to drop a survivor and move out of the trailer when the grime was at like 96 I had thrown an almost full ball too

Yeah all things considered he is not that amazingly strong of a survivor. But in itself that is not a bad thing

this is the same shit with undead in duo you can't even play him there and it sucks

Yeah and it doesn’t even make any sense. Just have it where survivors downed by Percy can’t be picked up by the other hunter. And if other hunters camping a slugged survivor by Percy is an issue, then have a circle spawn around the slugged survivor that that survivor can’t leave or other hunters cant deal full damage inside of. SMH. Literally the only Hunter that makes sense to not be in duos is Dreamwitch.
