Honestly it's pretty aggravating they wasted time on lightborn when there are plenty of other perks and game mechanics that need attention first and foremost
wait are you saying the devs dont know what they are doing? no way!
im pretty sure its for the tall wall loops, the survivor attempts to juke you or hide, you see exactly where they go and get a free hit.
The aura read can help in loops or jungle gyms where you need to break a pallet, allowing you to efficiently continue a chase or find a survivor trying to hide/juke you. Was it a necessary buff not really. Am I going to complain about an unnecessary buff to a niche perk, nah.
The buffs honestly confuse me. The only time the aura read would be useful is tracking someone who tried to go for a flashlight save. It wont help in loops, if someone tries to blind you at a window/pallet... you can see them without the aura reading. Lightborne is destined to be niche no matter what, countering flashlights in general is niche. I think the buff is nice, being immune to flashlights is cool, but the aura read is practically useless.
Oh no the devs buffed a perk and had to have something to tier it what a shame.
It's mostly an irrelevant buff. The immunity from blinding is significant only for firecrackers. For the rest you're already essentially immune from flashlights, unless it's a double blind. Which, let's be honest, never happens and, if it does, there are two people doing nothing.
For the aura, you already see them, you don't need it.
Itll help track the fladhlighter after the failed save..its pretty obvious
