Current Shrine Perks

I play both Survivor and Killer, although I'll admit I'm much better at Survivor. Since I've only been playing a little over 3 months I'd really appreciate thoughts on whether or not the current perks in Shrine are worthwhile to get:

Bamboozle, Mad Grit, Technician, and Flip-flop.

I'm tempted by Bamboozle and Flip-Flop, but they might just be too situational. What are your opinions, fam? :)

    Bamboozle is really good, and honestly that would be my only pick this week, BUT do not buy it if you will buy Clown at some point.

    The perk can help a lot if you play killers like Leatherface and Billy, this way you can safely try to oneshot them in safe places like the Shack.

    I do have Clown, but it seems to me that RNG is more favorable with perks from the Shrine instead of level unlock. I noticed this when I got BBQ &Chili from Shrine and I've been trying to go that route for perks ever since.

    I think it takes more time to get 2k shards than leveling him up to get it. I don't know if that RNG theory is true so I can't say for sure.

    Bamboozle is... Honestly, it's kind of a shut-your-brain-off perk. It just makes it so that you can run at survivors when they're in areas with strong windows, but it's not quite as effective as learning to play the window. If that's appealing, go on ahead and get it. I'm no stranger to wanting to just play to have fun and not have to Big Brain every little thing all the damn time.

    Mad Grit is just a meme perk. It isn't very good. Even in the situations where it's useful, you have to combine it with 1 or 2 other perks. If you want to meme, get it. Otherwise, save your shards.

    Technician is decent if you have trouble hitting skillchecks, for whatever reason (lack of "skill" isn't the only reason to miss them). It also has the nice side benefit of muffling the sound of gen repair, but the recent update basically did that anyway. Pass and save the shards, most likely. Or, if you're on console, just level up Feng.

    Flip Flop is extremely situational, bordering on worthlessly so, but you can combo it with a few other perks to make it activate more often. Pass if you want to save the shards immediately, but it is a perk that might become even stronger in the future as the meta shifts, and if you miss it in the shrine you can only buy it with real-world cash. So, if you have the shards to spare, maybe.

    Bamboozle is literally the only good perk in the shrine. If you want to spend the shards then you should, especially if you don't plan on leveling Clown for a while.

    The other perks aren't worth.

    Thanks for the input, sounds like I can safely skip the Shrine this time!

    @NursesBootie I envy you! It's got to be fun to have so many perks to play with.

    It's nice, but the bloodweb gets a big grind! CD

    See you in the fog!
