Shedletsky – The Sentinel Swordmaster of FORSAKEN

7/13/2025

Who is Shedletsky?

Shedletsky Roblox Character — Shedletsky in Forsaken — The legendary Roblox admin turned Sentinel survivor with a blade and a mission.

Shedletsky, the barefoot, sword-wielding admin, is the OG Sentinel and the first one most players get to try in Roblox FORSAKEN. As someone who’s mained him through dozens of updates and hundreds of matches, I can safely say: he’s one of the most reliable bodyguards in the game. If you're looking to protect your team, punish killers with stuns, and even clutch moments with well-timed heals, this guy's got your back. Here’s my full Shedletsky guide — built from real experience.

Skills & Gameplay Breakdown

Base Stats

Shedletsky is a well-rounded Sentinel with decent survivability and strong support utility. He’s medium skill cap — easy to pick up, but hard to master with Slash timing and baiting.

TIP: Fast stamina regen allows frequent repositioning — sprint in bursts, then duck into cover to recover.

Passive Ability

None officially listed, but his resistance frame during Slash and the non-interruptible heal from minions gives him a semi-passive tanky edge. Also, he doesn’t require charges for Slash, unlike other stunners.

Active Skills

Slash(Q)

Cooldown: 40s

Death before dishonor.

Shedletsky slashes forward, dealing 30 damage and stunning the killer for 3 seconds if it hits. Grants Resistance II for 0.575 seconds, but slows you by 75% for 1.575 seconds after activation.

Best used from behind corners or during killer windups. Missing this can leave you wide open to punishment.

Fried Chicken(E)

Cooldown: 70s

You won the annual chicken eat off hosted by Shedletsky!

Eat a piece of fried chicken to heal 5 HP instantly and 35 HP over 10 seconds. If Shedletsky takes a direct hit during this time, healing is canceled. Minions and indirect attacks do not interrupt the regeneration. Has 2 charges.

Use when safe — not during chase. Combine with Elliot's pizza for stronger healing.

Gameplay Tips

Personally, I love using Shedletsky to protect squishier survivors like Builderman or Elliot. His kit is all about interruption and utility, not pure survivability. I usually pick maps with tight corridors or vertical terrain (like Ruins or Facility) where I can flank the killer and land surprise slashes.

Tip: Use him like a support bruiser. Let others lead, then jump in with a Slash when the killer overcommits. And always, always save at least one Fried Chicken charge for clutch heals during Last Man Standing.

Strategy & Counterplay

Playing Shedletsky

To carry games as Shedletsky, you’ve got to master timing and baiting. He works best in team-focused scenarios where killers target grouped survivors. I like to rotate in and out of fights — stun, retreat, heal, repeat. On bigger maps, I’ll hide near chokepoints and wait for the killer to commit before slashing.
Combo Tip: Slash > run into a tripmine > heal behind a wall — works perfectly when Taph is on your team.

How to Counter Shedletsky

Playing against Shedletsky isn’t easy, but it’s manageable. Most players panic when they see him rushing in with a sword, but if you bait his Slash and dodge sideways, he’s wide open. When I’m playing 1x1x1x1, I wait for him to miss and then instantly cast Mass Infection — easy punish.

Also, if Shedletsky is corner hugging, assume Slash is ready. Peek with camera angles before committing to chases. And if you’ve already hurt him, don’t let him escape — otherwise, he’ll pop Fried Chicken and undo all your effort.

Appearance & Skins

Shedletsky’s design is pure Roblox nostalgia — yellow skin, “Blame John” shirt, blue striped swim trunks, and always barefoot. His weapon? The iconic Linked Sword. His expression changes based on health and damage dealt, which adds personality.

He currently has 38 skins — the most in the game. Notable ones:

Milestone IV (Unlocked via achievements) – Replaces his sword with Illumina, complete with special effects.
5 More Shedletskys (Event joke skin) – Creates clones, helping confuse killers, though it slightly blocks vision.
John Forsaken – A meta-meme reference to “John (Game Title)” style skins.
Milestone III – Includes clothing from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, though hidden under his cloak.
Pirate Skin – Used to have Epic Face always on (was patched).
His skins often reference his old avatars, unlike others that evolve over milestones.

Character Lore & Background

Shedletsky is based on the real Roblox admin John James Shedletsky, III — a dev who created core Roblox features and iconic games like Sword Fights on the Heights. In FORSAKEN, he's a survivor turned Sentinel, haunted by his own creation: 1x1x1x1, a manifestation of his hatred.

Their rivalry is baked into the game — if they’re the last two alive, a special theme (“Creation of Hatred”) plays with extra time added to the final duel. It's one of the best lore tie-ins in the game, period.

Summary & Game Links

To wrap it up — if you like melee Survivors, high-impact stuns, and vintage Roblox lore, you have to give Shedletsky a try in Roblox FORSAKEN. He’s free, powerful, and a solid pick in almost every situation. Once you land your first perfect Slash and save your whole team? You’ll be hooked.
