Discussion Time |Pyramid Head's Add-ons|
My boy Pyramid Head has a fun power, along with him being overall cool looking imo, however his flaw comes down to his add-ons.
HIS ADD-ONS ISSUES
Pyramid Head has some really bland and weak add-ons for the killers, with his Very Rare and Ultra Rares being weaker than his Rare and uncommon add-ons. The add-ons I am going to point out are the egg add-ons, the books, and his Killer Instinct Add-ons, same with his UR add-ons
RUST-COLOURED EGG AND SCARLET EGG AND THE KILLER INSTINCT ADD-ONS
These two add-ons are incredibly weak.
Scarlet Egg increases the killer instinct that triggers when a survivor steps on your trails by 1.5 seconds, increasing the time to 4.5 seconds...however, this isn't really worth bringing over his other add-ons as his other's increase how long trails remain in the environment or how long you can use RoJ
Rust-Coloured Egg makes you blind for 60 seconds when stepping into RoJ trails....Blindness only affects auras and this is not worth using. "BuT sLugGiNg" NO....NONE OF THAT....SHAME ON YOU. This is only 60 seconds on the survivor who stepped onto the trail, so only they cannot see auras, meaning to get anything from this add-on for slugging EVERYONE WOULD NEED TO STEP IN A TRAIL, this is weak. "BuT hOoK-" same situation as slugging, except so much weaker as survivors get a sound notif when someone is hooked
His other killer instinct add-ons increase it by .5 seconds and 1 second....I am gonna use Legion as an example here
Legion benefits from Killer instinct as he is a multi-hit killer and sprints faster while in frenzy...Pyramid Head does not move any faster and infact moves slower in his torment mode and while activating RoJ (110% while using RoJ, 92% while activating RoJ)
THE TWO BOOKS
These two are also quite weak
Crimson Ceremony Book: Injured survivors who are tormented suffer from Haemorrage status effect (Spelled that wrong for sure
Crimson Ceremony Book makes survivors bleed more...pretty sure nobody uses Sloppy Butcher for that status effect and have not seen many people use BloodHound since Legion's initial release before the rework.
Lost Memories Book: Stepping into a RoJ trail makes you oblivious for 15 seconds
Why tho? Pretty sure Pyramid Head is carrying a MASSIVE KNIFE and has a giant pyramid on his head
It could be better, but hey its better than Obsidian Goblet though
HIS UR ADD-ONS
Oh man I was excited for these on his reveal...then they released
Obsidian goblet makes you undetectable while standing in your trail...Except you have to almost be moving directly in the middle of the trail or else you lose the effect and you have to also have a trail set up in the right way where you can step in it....this UR add-on isn't good
Seal of Metatron makes you reveal all tormented survivors auras for 6 seconds when you cage a survivor
This add-on is neat and I like it, but I honestly don't have an opinion for it
Comments
His purples 100% need changing i never use them and i doubt anyone else does
My assumption (and yes you should never make one) is that they rushed him and didn't bother to come up with any interesting add ons.
Just make them all a like and put up the labels slightly, moderately, etc on them.
Just so they could release him.
I was also very happy to see him coming to dbd and when i bought him and saw all his similar add ons I got disappointed really fast.
Yeah the green/yellow and brown add ons ar stronger than the higher rated add ons but still mostly crap non the less
How can someone think that a requirement for an "Hemorrhage" Add-On is a good idea? Even if it didn't have the Torment requirement, it's still be extremely bad and pointless.
