Down with the meta! What are your favourite thematic perks?
For me:
- Calm Spirit, I love the idea of sprinting through the woods not disrupting anything.
- Boil Over, it feels like my surv is actually fighting for their life
- Cruel Limits, you finish a gen and you're TRAPPED

- borrowed time, I know it’s meta, but I always found the name funny. Like you’re asking to the entity an extra hit, and the entity borrows you the extra hit, but still you have heal from it.

Agitation. 'You get excited in anticipation of hooking your prey', always loved that thematically.
1 -
Windows of Opportunity (It's good to know if someone dropped any pallets that you thought were there a second ago
Boiled Over (It gives me the illusion that I'm wiggle out faster)
No one left behind( Had a game where i unhooked someone so fast)
1 -
Open Handed. I run it with Kindred and Left Behind, plus any other perk i feel like bringing.
1 -
- Q&Q, one of the best perks to confuse the Killer in the game!

I love spine chill.
"There's a voice not using words. Listen."

Surge and We'll make it
Also ,I love "We'll make it + second wind " combo uwu

Devour Hope on Demogorgon. As the prey gets away, he gets stronger and hungrier until he just finally can't take it anymore, and despite the Entity's will, he gets a snack. Having a 1 shot on Demogorgon feels really good, like the hulking monster should.

For survivors, I love all of Adam's perks.
For killers, Make Your Choice is semi-meta, depending on the killer, but such a cool idea. Dark Devotion is another perk I know isn't that good, but seems really cool. Maybe paired with Mint Rag...
0 -
I love Tenacity, especially when paired with Unbreakable.
8 -
Better Together, I just find it satisfying seeing everyone when a survivor is down.
Aftercare: After saving or healing every other survivor it's very satisfying seeing all the other survivors aruas.
Can't really use these perks at red ranks, especially aftercare because survivors sometimes deliberately run to you to lose the killer.

Diversion, throwing a pebble to distract the killer makes the game feel more fleshed out to me.

Survivor:
Technician: "I love that HALF of my failed skill checks (rare as they may be) don't alert the killer, and that they can't hear me working on a gen until they're 8m away from it."
Botany Knowledge: "33% Heal rate advantage? What's not to like?"
Spine Chill: "Hard counter perk to all Stealth killers and a decent perk against all others? Sign me up!"
Detective's Hunch: "SHOW ME DEM TOTEMS!"
Stake Out: "Technician 2.0, but with a bigger advantage."
Diversion: "Someone's over there Mr. Killer"
Deja Vu: "We're 3 genning ourselves? I gonna stop that crap right now!"
Calm Spirit: "F@$k you Doc, and Spies from the Shadows!"
Killer:
Bloodhound: "You think you can Urban around that corner and lose me? Lol!"
Surge: "You mean I DON'T have to kick every gen around me myself AND I do actual damage to them before they start regressing? Me Likey!" (Big hint to Plague players out there)
Cruel Limits: "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!" - Oni
I'm All Ears: "oh, so you went the OTHER way on that loop, well played... but guess what?"
Hex: Devour Hope: "I've hit 3 tokens... EVERYBODY DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND TRY TO FIND MY TOTEM BEFORE I CAN INSTANTLY END THIS GAME!" (a Special Thank you to the Springwood Reworks)
Spies from the Shadows: BIRDS! "Yeah yeah I know I jus-" BIRDS! "Hang on a second I'll get em, just let m-" BIRDS! "FOR ######### SAKE! You sneaky little bastard, I'm gonna get you as soon as I fin-" BIRDS! "HA!, I have you now you little piece o-" BIRDS! "GAWD you're annoying! But, surprisingly helpf-" BIRDS!... sigh.
Mad Grit: "REAP THE WHIRLWIND!"
Bamboozle: "... a GOD LOOP you say?"
Bitter Murmur: (Terminator voice) "Your Clauds, Give them to me."

What's up with the Spine Chill love?
Premonition lets you locate the killer before he sees you and it tells you what direction he is coming from.
0 -
Premonition has an obnoxious cooldown. I wish I could love it mate but devs are probably too lazy to buff it.
0 -
Devour Hope for me. It’s always sad when it gets cleansed before 3 tokens, but the visible panic when I do start oneshotting people is wonderful. No other perk in the game can completely change the way people are playing in a single moment the way Devour can, except maybe NOED, but NOED is purely for the end of the game and I’ve never been as fond of it because of that.

Solidarity with my healing builds. Surprisingly useful!
Poised, because... damn, that time is so useful.
FlipFlop, great info for healing builds, interchangeable with Babysitter.
Fixated, god tier and good info tell.

I love alert and the new kindred is a godsent
On killer agitation is great, especially when you get that hit against a survivor that didn't expect you to go that fast when trying to bodyblock
And something about bloodhound just feels good too

HEX: The Third Seal.
I like the idea of blinding survivors. Makes solo survivors need to remember where people were hooked, or wonder if anyone is coming for them at all. For SWFs, I like it when people yell at each other, "I'm here! Where are you going?! How can't you see me?!?".
Not always effective, but gives a different dimension to the game.

You mean Buckle Up?

I use Saviours Gambit in most of my builds these days.

I'm really addicted to Empathy. It's such a useful perk, especially as a solo survivor

Make your choice you mean right?

My personal favorites
Headon: (this one is iffy, meta or not) gives you the chance to fight back.
Up the ante: Having extra luck is always a blessing in disguise.
Diversion: I need some breathing room from the killer
Flip Flop: it's just a really fun perk, situational as heck though.
0 -
Head On isn't meta :)

How do I get those mixed up? :(
Yes, that’s it. Whoops.

I've actually got two thematic builds for killers
For Demogorgon run Stridor, Bloodhound, Enduring and either Lightborn or Brutal Strength. Thanks again to @Plu for that build.
For my next one, it's "discount Jason"
For Trapper run Brutal Strength, Spirit Fury, Enduring and a perk of your choosing.

Iron Maiden, because reloading hatchets faster is great. Getting info on people who try to hide from BBQ is also great.
Deerstalker, because slugging and switching targets with Huntress is really good.
I'm a sucker for Head On too. It's just too much fun, even if it gets me killed most of the time.
0 -
I love running Head On and Q&Q together. It's so fun to jump into a locker and stun the killer making them fear every locker lol
Other combos/non-meta perks I like to use are:
- Dark sense and Poised
- Better Together and Prove thyself
- Fixated
- Inner Strength
- Kindred

Surge.
It's not a great perk in terms of strategical effectiveness, but it certainly has a satisfying impact to it's activating.
0 -
You filthy genriusher you! Like that combo too as solo.
Kindred + Open Handed is brilliant. Tell others in chat they should bring in their favourite arua perk if they want to make use of Open Handed.
And I had quite a bit fun recently with Breakout and MoM, combined with a Styptic medkit.
And I like to run botany knowledge, to make even yellow medkits with brown and yellow speed addons brutally effective

I had some off meta builds for Legion; but they used some on hit effects so I'm not allowed to use those anymore- thanks BHVR =/
