History Characters / FridayThe13thTheGameCounselors

* PoorCommunicationKills: They're perfectly fine until they pick up the phone or start using the CB Radio, then they speak in frantic, high-strung voices. This applies to gameplay, too. Counselor teams that can quickly and coherently relay part locations and objective progress via walkie-talkies and offer recon on which areas are Jason-free at the moment tend to have much better odds of escaping.

* ActionGirl: The women have all the same moves as the men in combat. Although they tend to have lower Strength scores, their other stats can make up the difference in combat situations.

** In spite of patches which forced the developers to [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings remove team killings]], there's nothing to stop a counselor hijacking a car to run everyone else over. Though the game [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment penalizes any griefer]] who takes this course of action, the car doesn't [[UnderusedGameMechanic breakdown permanently]] if they kill two or more teammates. If you notice your friends disappearing off the scoreboard [[DwindlingParty one after another as "Betrayed"]], then '''stay indoors'''.

* BornUnlucky: Scores the lowest Luck out of all Counselors, much like A.J.. Unlike A.J., Shelly has a high enough Strength to try and de-mask Jason before his weapon breaks under the right circumstances.

* BornUnlucky: Has very poor Luck stat, so weapons are liable to break, and extreme caution should be used when trying to start (or restart) the car or boat as him.

* BornUnlucky: Has the lowest Luck stat out of all counselors, which means that the chances of A.J.'s weapon breaking is much higher than usual, making direct combat with Jason a big risk.

* BornUnlucky: One strategy to never forget when playing as Buggzy is to ''always change your weapon''. Because of his awful Luck stat after about three hits that connect any melee weapon he's using on Jason is liable to break. And if the cars broken down and Jason's prowling nearby? ''[[DraggedByTheCollar You can forget it]]''.

* BornLucky: Has the highest luck value out of all characters so far, though it does not necessarily mean that he will always survive a campaign by luck alone. If Chad's luck is in the player's favor, Chad can make use of keeping melee weapons from breaking, jumping or climbing through shattered windows without being cut, and regain stamina quickly upon landing an attack or breaking free from Jason's grip.

* StealthExpert: Has maxed out Stealth stats, making it her main gameplay plan to hide from Jason at all times. [[GoodBugsBadBugs Due to a bug]], A.J. is also the only maximum Stealth Counselor that can ''sprint silently'' if she is equipped with at least a 10% positive Lightfoot perk, as Tiffany and Tommy are unable to do so in spite of also having a 10/10 in Stealth.

* ScavengerHunt: Her main purpose, as Vanessa can help find important items scattered across the campaign more efficiently than the slower counselors due to her high Speed. Any items found then dropped will show up on the map. Though any Vanessa player should refrain from being [[{{Courier}} the Courier]] as you cannot carry parts and weapons in-hand at the same time, not to mention her terrible Stealth stat will blow the other's cover and alert Jason.

* ScavengerHunt: Her main purpose, as Vanessa can help find and deliver important items scattered across the campaign more efficiently than the slower counselors due to her high Speed.

* SanityMeter: They ''all'' hate [[PrimalFear the darkness]] and being [[GoMadFromTheIsolation separated from each other]]. Counselors with a high composure (and fear resistance Perk) will take the longest to succumb. Eventually though, all them give into their urge to panic. When they do, it can be a death sentence for the player as [[InterfaceScrew it screws the screen and mini-map up]] (unless you've equipped 'Preparedness'). Jason can easily find, ''[[YouCanRunButYouCantHide and keep on finding]]'' a counselor wracked with fear. You will also incur stamina penalties for being afraid, until eventually you move so slow [[ControllableHelplessness won't be able to get away]].

* StealthExpert: Subverted. He has poor composure, slightly worse than Deborah's. If he can't keep his fear levels in check, Jason ''will find him'' via a quick scan of the Sense ability.

* StealthExpert: Boasts the highest Stealth value of all counselors so far (tied with A.J.). Though she is more easily frightened when alone, Tiffany makes up for it with her decent speed and high stamina value, giving her a chance to successfully evade Jason if he happens to find her. Unfortunately due to a bug, she doesn't get the luxury of being able to sprint silently even if she is equipped with a max rank Lightfoot perk.

* StealthExpert: Has a very high stealth stat, second only to the perfect stealth stat of A.J and Tiffany.
