Chapter XIX Perk synergies
Survivors:
- The first survivor perk is fast track, fast track is a perk which counters killers idea of "nerf gen speeds" with a perk which increases gen speeds, lol. This perk will combo well with stake out, prove thyself, resilience and possibly this is not happening.
- The second survivor perk is smash hit, a new exhaustion perk. I was quite excited for a 6th exhaustion perk, it's pretty cool. The only synergy I can see is with vigil and other exhaustion perks.
- The final third survivor perk is Self-Preservation, a perk which heavily counters spirit. This perk sounds amazing if your running an aura reading perk, I can just picture it, a new EPIC COMBO!!!, Kindred, fast track and self-preservation, pretty cool. 10 seconds is actually quite long, it will combo nicely with most perks, like sprint burst.
Killers:
- The first killer perk is star struck, a really nice perk. It will combo well will tracking killers, like doctor and doctor, probably just doctor actually. A good perk synergy is perks which increase your terror radius, like distressing or monitor and abuse. This perk really will combo perfectly with doctor, you hook someone, static blast and see people with BBQ, what a great build.
- The second killer perk is Hex: Crowd control, uh oh a new hex which is going to get nerfed. This perk seems pretty powerful if in a hands of a good killer, good survivors will also counter this perk. This perk has something in common with star stuck, it's good on doctor. A new "Meme build" I can think of is called VAULT BLOCKER. It consists of fire up, bamboozle, hex: crowd control and another perk, synergy is real with this perk.
- The final third kill perk is by far the best is No Way out, I actually said "UH OH, A BLOODWARDEN 2.0" before even seeing the description, It's better actually. Unlike with the other perks, you don't need a synergy. You can to make it seriously OP but it's a new end game perk, cool, great idea devs, why not buff noed. Combining this perk with bitter murmur could be a new meta, it seems pretty OP. A new killers meta build: Pop, bitter murmur, noed and No way out, what a cool build.
Comments
Doctor Build:
Distressing
Starstruck
Whispers
BBQ/Thrilling Tremors
Double Calm to increase TR
Distressing/SS combo. I like Whispers to never waste Static Blast. Last perk can be BBQ which is great once you hook survivor to see where the exposed aurvivors are located. Thrilling Tremors blocks gens so you can't Static Blast right before picking up to lock them out and then hook them to see which gen to go to next.
I see power struggle and Smash hit being a good synergy.
And Starstruck and agitation could be a good combo as well. Maybe with iron grasp.
