Lurking Giants Giant Abilities

Giant players in Lurking Giants have two core active abilities beyond movement: Attack (Q) and Haunt (G). Understanding range, cooldown rhythm, and when to ability-chain separates multi-kill rounds from wasted night minutes. This reference covers both abilities across Locust, Guilt, and upcoming giants.

Attack (Q)

Primary elimination tool. Swing when survivors exit cover or freeze during pulse confusion. Attack range extends slightly beyond visual model — practice in lobby spectate to learn hitbox. Missing attacks during 5:00 AM final pulse wastes your last hunt window.

Haunt (G)

Area pressure ability that denies escape routes and forces survivors off predictable paths. Use haunt at cave mouths, stairwell tops, and geyser field exits before switching to Q for the kill. Haunt timing pairs with visibility pulse intel from the giant guide.

Locust vs Guilt

Locust (2-star default): lanky, biomechanical, fast animations. Guilt (3-star, 7,000 coins): taller, heavier presence, wider psychological pressure. Compare in Locust page, Guilt page, and tier list.

Ability Combos

Pulse reveals → sprint to intersection → haunt exit → Q on arrival. This combo catches relocating survivors who think they are safe after highlight fades. On Forest, haunt cave exits after 3:00 AM pulses. On City, haunt tower bases while survivors climb.
