Huntress Lullaby buff
So a problem with old Ruin was that you could get pressure without actually having to work for it while one of the problems of Gearhead is that it rewards survivors who constantly hit great skill checks. With these things in consideration, I think I might know a good buff to make Huntress Lullaby on-par with Devour Hope while still being punishing for experienced survivors.
Each time a Survivor is hooked, Hex: Huntress Lullaby gains a token.
- 2 token: Good skill checks inflict a 1/1/2% regression penalty
- 3 Tokens: Great skill checks trigger a loud noise notification
- 5 Tokens: Great skill checks inflict a 1/2/3% regression penalty
This buff insures that no matter what survivors do, they will always be penalized every time a skill check pops up while still being small enough to be reasonable (2% on 1 and 5 tokens). Since cleansing creates no skill check, this is still pretty reasonable and the killer has to work for it unlike old Ruin. The 3 token part is to make it synergize with Gearhead, making it even more unsafe every time a skill check pops up.
