Keep the light and your view on her
The demonstrated counter combines looking at Miss Delight with an active flashlight. Do not assume that facing her with the light switched off produces the same result.
Before moving, identify the direction you intend to retreat. Keep her visible while you reposition, and avoid turning to check loot or another corridor without accounting for her movement. The point is to preserve observation while creating a route out of the encounter.
Flashlights use battery power. Check that your light is functioning rather than relying only on where the camera is aimed.
Give one teammate the watching responsibility
In a group, agree who is keeping Miss Delight illuminated while the others move. Have a teammate confirm that they are watching before the first observer looks away.
This is a coordination approach built around the demonstrated observation rule, not a guaranteed immunity effect. Corners, blocked views, and a failed light can undermine the plan. Keep communication brief and make sure the person watching knows when the rest of the team is ready to move.
Treat flare and spawn claims as beta details
A beta encounter demonstrated flares creating a line Miss Delight would not cross. That same preview also described a flare glitch, so the release version should not be treated as having an unlimited or guaranteed flare barrier.
Another beta session encountered her from the second shift. That does not establish a fixed launch-version first appearance. Stay alert in the school rather than assuming an earlier shift is automatically safe.
Leave before attention fails
Use the pause in her movement to get the group out of the encounter. Standing close for longer than necessary adds opportunities for someone to turn away or lose the light.
No confirmed damage value, safe approach distance, stun duration, or universal solo escape route is provided here. Preserve the working line of sight and choose a clear retreat rather than planning around guessed numbers.
