JUST ONE MORE ASYM Wiki Adversaries Guide

Adversaries are player-controlled sub-killers who work alongside the AI-controlled Aberrant to hunt down Survivors. Each Adversary has a unique playstyle, from aggressive rushdowns to cunning trappers.

How Adversaries work

• 4v16 format — up to 4 hunters (1 Aberrant + 3 Adversaries) vs 16 Survivors.
• Support the Aberrant — your job is to protect the AI killer and help it eliminate Survivors.
• Unique abilities — each Adversary has distinct skills that change how you approach the hunt.
