I mostly play Blight right now, and I want to expand my arsenal a bit, can someone list all the perks that work with special attacks?


List of perks that work with Special Attacks: (Edited, will update if more perks are mentioned)

  • Infectious Fright
  • STBFL (Saving stacks)

    Preserving stacks of STBFL comes to mind.

  • ReverseVelocity ReverseVelocity

    Infectious Fright works on any down, regardless of the source.

  • Demogordon_Ramsay Demogordon_Ramsay

    STBFL when conserving stacks while chasing the obsession.

    Infectious Fright.

    Aaaaaand that's it.

    Coup de Grace is really fun on tier 3 Mikey.

    But that isn't for special attacks tho.

    This could be read a couple different ways. 1. Which perks work specifically with special attacks (if you mean exclusively, then none, if you mean inclusively then any perk where it is advantageous at least partially to use a special attack)

    1. Save the Best for Last
    2. Remember Me
    3. Infectious Fright
    4. Surge
    5. Zanshin Tactics
    6. Forced Penance
    7. Coup de Grace (For Michael and Spirit and Nurse, note these are special but not technically special attacks)
    8. Deer Stalker

    But this could also be read as, which perks can be triggered after using a special attack.

    1. Bloodhound
    2. Stridor
    3. Thanatophobia
    4. A Nurse's Calling
    5. Save the Best for Last (when using the special attack to conserve stacks)
    6. Hex: Devour hope (The exposed effect does not work with special attacks, but you can gain stacks using special attack)
    7. BBQ
    8. Remember Me? I think this one works. Never really tested it though
    9. Blood Warden
    10. Make your choice (can't be used with exposed, but can be used for the initial down)
    11. Coulrophobia
    12. Infectious Fright
    13. Furtive Chase
    14. Surge
    15. Zanshin tactics (This one is a bit weird where you lose your aura reading, but it technically works with special attacks)
    16. Blood Echo
    17. Dead Man's Switch
    18. Forced Penance
    19. Death Bound
    20. Coup de Grace (in some circumstances)
    21. Deer Stalker
    22. Monstrous Shrine

    Tier 3 attack is special for Mikey since its the biggest lunge in the game.

    Infectious Fright works, and maybe Forced Penance. Trail of Torment and Zanshin Tactics are deactivated by both special and basic attacks. PWYF is also lost by basic and special attacks, but I believe that Plague avoids stack loss with her regular Vile Purge.

    True, but it's still a basic attack, like a basic m1.
