  • chargernick85 chargernick85

    Well top 10 can change per killer so I'll take the average. I play solo so I focus on gens as you don't know if your team will. Top 4 will be my go to on most except certain killers.

    Survivor:

    1.Resilience

    2.Prove Thyself

    3.Sprint Burst

    4.Fixated

    5.Stake Out

    6.Pebble

    7.Autodidact

    8.Bond

    9.Urban - if running SB and dont have fixated.

    10.We'll make it.

    Killer:

    1.BBQ - Only here because it's the perk I pray for the most after prestige so they can be leveled faster not because best perk to run.

    2.Discordance - Keeping multiple people of gens is key especially if prove thyself is in play.

    3.Tinkerer - Will run with Disco if available in case they split to counter I have the counter for that as well. Ran together = CRAZY pressure

    4.POP - C'mon

    5.Infectious - 2nd hits/downs are tremendous pressure that shouldn't be taken lightly.

    6.Monitor - Extra 8 meters does more than people realize but the FOV buff and increasing your terror radius in a chase (Increased infectious) are what makes it special.

    7.Sloppy - Minus a few ranged killers this perk is great on just about everyone. What's not to love unless you get the frame drops from it.

    Those are the perks that if I have them they are ran period. The rest are killer based and ran if others are missing but still loved by me.

    8.Nurses Calling - Love it on anyone honestly but lil extra on huntress and PH.

    9.Bamboozle - bubba main one I am using this on because I get terrible maps with him but great perk.

    10.STBL - SO fun love it on my piggy but have terrible luck with obsession sitting on my junk.

  • MrDardon MrDardon

    Survivor:

    1. Kindred (best solo Perk to exist even though I try to play without it more)
    2. Spine Chill (the safety you get from this Perk is invaluable, also it helps when a gen is 95 % and the Killer comes, Spine Chill gives you this extra speed you need)
    3. Sprint Burst (I dropped Dead Hard since it's to frustrating and I found ways to make Sprint Burst for myself better than Dead Hard)
    4. Borrowed Time (I don't always run it but it defnitely helps to get more BP since you can make safes faster with it)
    5. Windows of Opportunity (Very underrated Perk, it helps alot, if a tile has 2 possible pallet spawns this will not make you second guess)
    6. Unbreakable (Sometimes better to have it and not need it than to need it and to not have it)
    7. Power Struggle (When it works, it's the most satisfying Perk in the game)
    8. Head On (If I need a Meme Perk, this will be my choice)
    9. Inner Strength (Helps alot with Head On, and helps alot in general. It will make you do more bones and deny Noed)
    10. Second Wind (After renaming it a few times with a friend like "Zweiter Wind" or "Sack und Windel" and trying it a few times I started to quite like it.


    Killer:

    1. Barbecue and Chili (Kinda obvious why)
    2. Corrupt Intervention (If I want a consistent slowdown Perk, this will work)
    3. Hex: Ruin (Possibly the strongest game delay when it stays up)
    4. Pop goes the Weasel (A good alternative when Ruin gets cleansed)
    5. Hex: Devour Hope (If it stays up, which it will thanks to Perk 6, it's one of the most fun Perks to use)
    6. Hex: Undying (A good bodyguard for any Hex Perks, it also gave me so much info at the start of a match by revealing Survivors who spawned beside a dull totem)
    7. Whispers (If I need a tracking tool, this Perk will not dissapoint me)
    8. Thrilling Tremors (A good gen detection Perk, I use it instead of BB! when I feel like I don't need BP that much)
    9. Enduring (When I get sick of gen regression Perks, I go for chase Perks and this gives a lot of free hits)
    10. Shadowborn (Sometimes I go Perkless and then I'll take Shadowborn for comfort and because I don't call Shadowborn a Perk since it should be a baseline option in my opinion)

  • katapad katapad

    Killer:

    1. BBQ & Chili - Bloodpoints. Duh.
    2. Thrilling Tremors - Gotta see them gens. I'm going to run either this or BBQ on almost every build.
    3. Pop Goes the Weasel - Obvious
    4. Surge - Regression without having to kick gens
    5. Oppression - Multi-gen regression
    6. Surveillance - Oppression and Surge go very nicely with this one.
    7. Whispers - So much knowledge.
    8. Sloppy Butcher - Slow down that healing.
    9. Corrupt Intervention - Counter the early game rush.
    10. Make Your Choice - It's just fun to have a quick down available if things are going poorly.

    Not a big fan of Hex perks. The idea is nice having a passive effect, but I haven't had a game in months where it wasn't cleared before the third gen popped, or if it was Ruin they just split up and slammed through it.

    Survivor

    1. Appraisal - love picking up items.
    2. Borrowed Time - Pretty much a necessity
    3. Deja Vu - stop that 3 gen
    4. Spine Chill - I suck at survivor, so extra alerts are nice
    5. Ace in the Hole - see #1
    6. Lithe - interchangeable with #7, need something to get away
    7. Sprint Burst - see #6
    8. Iron Will - I'm going to get hit, makes it so much easier to get out when they can't hear you whining from a mile away.
    9. Prove Thyself - Just so useful for getting ######### done.
    10. Kindred - Knowing when to unhook and when to stay on a gen is key

    DS, UB, Adrenaline, DH - I don't find them all that enjoyable, but sometimes you do need them.

  • Chordyceps Chordyceps

    Killer:

    1. Hex: Ruin. It's just really useful, I feel like I don't need to elaborate too much.2
    2. Corrupt Intervention: I'm a Demo main, and that just really helps him out with the setup phase of the match
    3. Dead Man's Switch: Not the most consistently useful, but I think it's just fun to use. I think Doctor uses it the best since his static blast forces people off gens for just long enough for DMS to activate.
    4. Save The Best For Last: It's just really useful for those follow up hits
    5. Mindbreaker: Ever since the perk got buffed, it's unironically pretty useful now.
    6. Surge: I like to pair this with surveilance to help me know if I immediately need to pressure that gen again after the down.
    7. Thrilling Tremors: A BBQ & Chili alternative with slowdown capabilities? Yes please.
    8. Blood Echo: I only run this on Legion, but he uses it so well that it's become a staple for my Legion builds.
    9. Hex: Devour Hope: Probably one of the scarier perks in the game that really helps me get some ground back if the start of the match didn't go so well. I like to run this on Ghostface a lot.
    10. Dragon's Grip: This way this perk's cooldown applies whether or not someone was exposed severely limits this perk's usefulness, but when it works it's very satisfying. Probably the most powerful anti-gen tap perk there is honestly. I love it when I'm chasing someone around the gen and they go "lemme just tap this to stop the regression" and because of it I get an instadown on them.

    Survivor:

    1. Lithe: A pretty powerful exhaustion perk. The first 4 perks here are all here because they are very powerful put together.
    2. Deception: Pair this with Lithe to potentially trick killers to checking out a locker, while I make a hasty escape with lithe that is made silent by
    3. Quick and Quiet: This works in the build to keep killers from knowing I vaulted and am now super sprinting away as long as I had proper LOS blockage.
    4. Dance With Me: The final perk in my favorite build, further increases the time that my scratch marks are hidden for. I have lost a decent amount of killers with this setup.
    5. Blood Pact: This perk ensures I pretty much always know where at least one person is when I'm in need of healing. An added speed boost to boot makes it even cooler. Also the fact that it creates an obsession forces the killer to play like D-Strike has been brought.
    6. Breakout: A part of my "Be As Obnoxious As Humanly Possible" build, the number of times running this pays off is pretty low, but it's always so exciting when it does.
    7. Dead Hard: Probably the most flexible of the exhaustion perks, you can pull off some really fun maneuvers with this one outside the standard "get to that pallet or vault just barely in time".
    8. Flip-Flop: Another perk that's not always very useful, but I have a soft spot for this one. It really only works if you get slugged, but if you do get slugged it works wonders. Pair with D-Strike to buy you some time to activate it and Power Struggle for an instant pallet slam self free if you can make it to one.
    9. Detective's Hunch: I honestly think this is the most useful intel perk survivors get. A lot of people complain about NOED, but you can deal with that pretty easily just by bringing this perk since it reveals so much.
    10. Vigil: I don't get why people say this perk is weak. With exhaustion perks being as popular and useful as they are, I'd think that people would be all over a perk that lets you get your exhaustion perks back faster. I consider it healing all the other status effects just an added bonus that help sometime though, since most status effects are applied permanently until something happens.

    Use detective hunch instead of deja vu. You”ll see the 3 gens and you’ll deny noed, devour hope, ...

    Actually just bought Tapp a few days ago, so I assume it'll change things up.

  • Marc_go_solo Marc_go_solo

    Survivor (in no specific order):

    1. Deja Vu (Such an underrated perk. Prevents 3 gen games and a fun, tactical perk).

    2. Kindred (So much information).

    3. We'll Make It (A true, team-orientated perk).

    4. Empathy (As much for killer-seeking as it is for healing survivors).

    5. Better Together (Another good team-orientated perk, especially is needing aid from Prove Thyself or other gen-chunking perks/toolboxes).

    6. Aftercare (Again, so much information can be gained from this).

    7. Soul Guard (Quite a powerful perk, which has saved my bacon more times than I'd like to admit).

    8. Quick and Quiet (A good mindgame tool).

    9. Leader (Surprisingly good, especially during the endgame).

    10. Red Herring (Such a decent distraction, when used well).

    (As a side, the upcoming "Smash Hit" perk may well be in my top ten).


    Killer (in no specific order)

    1. Spies From The Shadows (Those birds are impressively efficient).

    2. Iron Grip (Allows a better control of the map, in terms of where you want to direct survivors).

    3. Tinkerer (Since the buff, it's very powerful, and good at throwing the survivors).

    4. Devour Hope (Really flows well with the pacing of the game and the increased pressure).

    5. Franklin's Demise (Especially useful against keys).

    6. Mad Grit (Basically, the Pain Train).

    7. Surveillance (Gives a lot of map information).

    8. Hex: Blood Favor (Throws survivors off-guard and can lead to a pretty quick second blow).

    9. Discordance (Gives an advantage over teamwork).

    10. Make Your Choice (It's the length at which the unhooker is exposed for which makes this worthwhile for me).

  • HealsBadMan HealsBadMan

    I'll do 5 from each side,

    Killer:

    1. Corrupt Intervention- 2 minutes guaranteed slowdown, if you know what you're doing then no progress will occur in those two minutes. If its a Killer that needs to set up (EX: Ghostface, Hag, Trapper, Demo, etc) it really helps.
    2. Whispers- Best tracking perk in the game.
    3. BBQ&C- Ez BP and decent aura reading, at least encourages me not camp.
    4. Blood Echo- Fun perk and concept, I love denying those annoying Exhaustion perks.
    5. Starstruck- Its still super early in the PTB, but I love this. The snowball potential on a Killer like Nurse, Hag, or Spirit is insane, not to mention it triggers when another Survivor enters the TR, NOT when you immediately pickup. More perks need to be like this, where there a reduced or no cooldown if no effect is applied (looking at you, Dragon's Grip)

    Survivor:

    1. Lithe- My Exhaustion perk of choice, works pretty well on almost every map and not as infuriating as DH is sometimes.
    2. Soul Guard- NOED counter and super useful to not get tunneled off the ground.
    3. Inner Strength- a self-heal that takes 8-10 seconds that's unaffected by perks like Dying Light or Colurophobia? Yes please.
    4. Deception- So fun to use and mess with Killers in a way that isn't spammed by the community (like having all meta perks in almost every game).
    5. Kindred- The BEST solo survivor perk. Tells you what teammates are doing, if the Killer is camping, and where to go next depending on what your teammate's actions are. IMO perks like Camaraderie should get the same treatment, but I digress.
