1. THE SILENT SHADOW RITUAL

How to Perform:
Pick one enemy. ONLY one.
Follow them invisible across the map for an entire minute without attacking.

When they finally stop moving, decloak just out of reach, stare at them for half a second, and cloak again.

No words.
No backstab.
Just… presence.

Effect:
They start checking corners for the rest of the match.
You’ve infected their brain with pure dread.

2. THE MERCIFUL EXECUTIONER

How to Perform:
Stab someone twice in a row.
On the third encounter… let them go.

Walk behind them.
Hold the knife up.
Wait.
Do nothing.

Effect:
You become the only thing they think about for the next five minutes.
A mercy from the Spy is worse than a kill.

3. THE PERSONAL GHOST

How to Perform:
Pick a new target.
Every time someone else kills them, appear from cloak beside their corpse, look down at it, shake your head, then cloak again.

Never be the one who kills them.
Just arrive.

Effect:
They begin to think you’re haunting them specifically… like a disappointed parent.

4. THE MEAT-SHIELD MAESTRO

How to Perform:
While disguised as their teammate, walk in front of an enemy projectile meant for your target…
…take the hit…
…stare at them…
…then stab them.

Effect:
They experience betrayal on a spiritual level.
Exactly what you want.

5. THE FALSE ESCAPE ARTIST

How to Perform:
Let someone barely survive an encounter with you.
Let them see you “escape” with a sliver of health.
Then recloak…
…and appear behind them exactly when they relax.

Effect:
They’ll feel like you were controlling the timing.
Like you let them hope.

6. THE LONG GAME

How to Perform:
Sap an Engineer’s dispenser.
Unsap it.
Sap it.
Unsap it.
Sap it again.
Then walk up behind him and don’t stab.

Just watch him rebuild.

Effect:
He will feel judged.
By a Frenchman.

7. THE BODYGUARD BETRAYAL

How to Perform:
Disguise as an enemy class and genuinely protect a teammate of theirs.
Bodyblock a rocket.
Heal them with a fake Medi Gun beam.
Even help them kill your own teammates.

Then backstab them mid-victory pose.

Effect:
They question their ability to trust.
Anyone.
Ever again.

8. THE VANISHING SENTINEL

How to Perform:
Stand perfectly still in plain sight, disguised, in the middle of a fight.
Ignore everything.
Rockets explode around you.
Pyro is screaming.
You do not move.

Then, only when a single enemy looks directly at you…
…cloak instantly and vanish.

Effect:
You become an urban legend.

9. THE PREMEDITATED APOLOGY

How to Perform:
Before you kill someone, cloak near them and quietly type in chat:
“Forgive me.”

Then twenty seconds later, stab them.

Effect:
They feel like the backstab was foretold…
…like you mourned it.

10. THE CLOCKWORK KILLER

How to Perform:
Backstab someone.
Note the exact respawn timer.
Be waiting at the hallway they ALWAYS use.
Stab them again exactly the second they reappear.

Repeat three times.

Effect:
They will genuinely believe you are following a script only you can see.

11. THE DISAPPOINTED LOVER

How to Perform:
After killing someone, don’t teabag.
Don’t taunt.
Just stand over their body…
…slowly shake your head…
…and walk away.

Effect:
They feel like they disappointed you personally, and for some reason it hurts more than the stab.

12. THE STAGE PLAY

How to Perform:
Pick a Sniper.
Run into their sightline disguised as the enemy Heavy.
Wave.
Walk away.
Return ten seconds later as their Medic.
Wave again.
Walk away.
Finally, come back uncloaked as yourself and stab them.

Effect:
You’ve built up narrative tension.
You created theatrical dread.
You are now the director of their suffering.

Finally the most dangerous:

13. The Practical Nihilism

For when you want the enemy to question not just the match… but the point of anything at all.

How to Perform It:

Repeatedly decloak in full view of a target, then immediately cloak again without attacking.

Do this three or four times—just long enough for them to think you’re about to strike… but not long enough for them to understand why you didn’t.

Once you feel their confusion peaking, walk straight past them—fully uncloaked—without even looking at them, as if they weren’t worth the physical effort of a stab.

If they shoot you, don’t fight back. Just stare at them until you die or escape.

The moment they finally kill you, type in chat:
“It’s okay. None of this matters.”

Next life, disguise as them, approach in total silence, and don’t attack. Nod once (crouch) and leave.

Psychological Effect:
Your opponent will spend the rest of the round trying to decode whether you’re:

making fun of them

trying to communicate something

emotionally devastated

playing some fourth-dimensional Spy mind-game

or simply an eldritch French entity who has transcended killstreaks entirely

The true victory is that you’ve replaced their tactical brain with a philosophical crisis.
