How to Effectively Play Shedletsky in Roblox Forsaken? If youโre just diving into the chaotic yet thrilling world of this game, thereโs one survivor whoโs practically built for youโShalki. No bells, no whistles, just a sword, some fried chicken, and a whole lot of potential. In fact, heโs so stripped-down that he becomes a tactical blank canvasโsimple, but with layers of strategy waiting to be uncovered.
How to Effectively Play Shedletsky in Roblox Forsaken
Letโs get this out of the wayโShalki is hands-down the most beginner-friendly survivor you can pick. Heโs got only two abilities, no passive skills, and yet, if you use him right, he can easily change the flow of a match. Whether you’re learning movement, timing, or teamwork, Shalkiโs your training ground.
Breaking Down His Abilities
1. The Slash
This is Shalkiโs main move. He winds up with his sword over six seconds and delivers a heavy swing that can hit any enemy directly in front of himโso long as theyโre in range. Sounds straightforward, right? Well, thereโs a twist. While winding up, Shalki slows down drastically (by 75%) and canโt sprint. That sluggishness lingers for a bit even after the swing. But to balance it out, he gains damage resistance while the slash animation plays out.
What happens when it lands?
Thirty damage. And a killer-stunning three-second window. Boom. Momentum shift.
This move comes with a 40-second cooldown, putting it on par with some of the most powerful abilities in the game.
2. Fried Chicken (Yes, Seriously)
His second ability is both hilarious and handy. Shalki pulls out a piece of fried chicken and chomps on it, instantly restoring 5 health and regenerating 35 health over 10 seconds. But thereโs a catchโget hit while healing, and the regen ends on the spot.
Oh, and you only get two chicken legs per match. Use them wisely. The cooldown is only 7 seconds, but once youโre out, youโre out.
Using These Powers Like a Pro
Now, swinging a sword and eating chicken might not scream “strategy,” but thereโs nuance here.
The Slash isnโt something you want to toss out in the open. The smartest way to land it? Play the corners. Hide just out of sight, wait for the killer to come around, then BOOMโsurprise slash. This not only masks your animation but also gives you a much higher chance to hit without taking damage in return.
If youโre feeling bold, you can try slashing directly during a chaseโespecially if the killer is distracted or slowed. But beware: miss your swing in the open, and itโs game over.
Camera tricks help a ton. Use your camera to peek around corners, lock on with shift-lock, and time the slash just right. It becomes nearly unavoidable if executed properly.
Bonus Tip: If you’re holding an item like Bloxy Cola, you usually canโt activate your ability. But hereโs a clever trickโuse your ability first, then immediately pull out the Cola. Youโll actually be able to drink it during the slash animation. It’s a minor tech, but clutch during last-man-standing scenarios.
And What About That Chicken?
Honestly, the healing ability sounds better than it actually isโat least in serious matches. Good killers wonโt give you enough breathing room to use it mid-chase. Most of the time, youโll either get hit before it activates or lose the regen instantly. So, save it for when youโre truly out of danger or manage to create real distance.
If you’re using a medkit in addition to Shalkiโs chicken, remember this: don’t hoard it for yourself. Use your healing ability and drop the medkit for teammates. Sharing is caring, and supporting your team might just win you the match.
(Pro tip: tap Backspace to drop items.)
Shalkiโs Playstyle: Your Game, Your Rules
Hereโs the beauty of Shalkiโhe doesnโt force a specific playstyle on you. You can support, you can bait, you can play solo clutch, or you can be a stun machine.
Personally? I recommend sticking close to your teammates. Look for opportunities to follow someone being chased, then intercept the killer with a well-placed slash. It helps them escape, and often gives you a safe moment to use your chicken if needed. Plus, it builds synergy, which is something most beginners overlook.
Final Thoughts
Shalki might look like comic relief with his fried chicken and sword, but donโt be fooled. Heโs one of the most versatile survivors out there. Learn his timings, respect his cooldowns, and play smart around cornersโyouโll be shocking killers left and right.
If youโve got your own Shalki strategies, donโt be shyโdrop a comment. Thereโs always something new to learn, and who knows? Your tip might help someone become the next MVP.
Until next timeโstay sharp, stay sneaky, and remember: chicken is power.
