Punishment Of The Damned

How come survivors dont get tormented when they are hit by this?

  • It would be kinda op if it did. If this was an ultra rate add on then it would be fine

  • Given that it's PH's primary attack, that would basically mean that everyone is always tormented and your skill at evading his trails doesn't matter.

    I don't think skill really factors into evading trails? When i'm playing PH like 95% of the torment comes from wrapping around a loop into a shot. It's unavoidable in that case unless you can somehow leave the loop. It's incredibly rare that someone just randomly steps into it. This clip is what it looks like.

    It's 100% avoidable, you just don't play those tiles.

    I hate to tell you, but that's literally every "tile" on a map like midwich.

    At least the way I play him, I just drop the sword through the pallet as i'm going into the loops. You literally can't loop anything without getting tormented unless there's like 4 strong pallets lined up back to back (which to be fair happens alot on BS maps like coldwind). If you are saying the counter is pre-drop every pallet and never loop then sure, it's avoidable.

    You do realise you're talking about PH, right? The smart play is to litterally never play tiles like what I saw in that clip. The Survivor *waited* at the tile - that is the worst thing to do agaisnt a killer who can hit you through any obstacle.

    Tiles like that, you don't play. You try to trick the killer*. What you do is run past them til the PH is right on you, then you go for a little mindgame and hope they fall for it. Usually that entails faking a vault or pallet drop, but swerving aside at the last second. Or a double fake where you pretend to have faked it too early but actually you do vault/drop. Or in the case of pallets, you just run right through and take a sharp turn. Or you can run close to one wall as the killer lines up a shot and either do a little shimmy to the side, or fake it.

    In none of those scenarios do you get tormented.

    Edit: *trick the killer, and then leave the tile while holding some more W.

  • His Trails would be useless then, and people would be tormented 100 % of the time.

  • Then survivors would be tormented all the time. I don't find it difficult to torment a survivor. Just leave a trail when your looping someone.
