Clown's pink add ons best in game?

I feel like pink add-ons in the game are usually weak. Or so overpowered they don't get run often (iri hatchets?)

Im going to preface this by saying i am not proficient in all the killers. Im barely decent with the killers i like. That being said,

Clown has the best pink add-ons in the game. Many feel like Red Head's Pinky Finger should have been changed and with good reason. It is a very strong option with a semi difficult activation requirement. However, when clown uses his power to get close to a survivor, (which is not hard at all) getting a direct bottle hit is not that difficult. I feel like it is iri head except none of the downsides at all. All in all Red Head's is a super strong add-on.

Now the lesser known Tattoo's Middle Finger. Basically it shows the aura of intoxicated survivors for 6 seconds. No cool down.

Aura reading is always strong. And for me, who has a huge problem following scratch marks on certain new maps after getting a hit, it is amazing. Its also great for loops and mind gaming.

Should i get better at basic mechanics? Definitely. Does it help when my rank 12 killers gets matched to all red ranks? You bet it does.

Just my thoughts

    No they are not as good as the best ones that Huntress and Plague has. Pinky finger is not that good you have to get close to survivor and just like Bubba survivors just needs to run to windows. If the kill rate was too good with this addon devs would have changed it but it's no problem.

    I'd say it was more fair when Clown suffered a slow down after throwing a bottle, but it's not awful

    Redhead's Pinky Finger is the second strongest add-on in the game, behind only Iri head. It's basically just permanent instadowns on an antiloop killer, that's not fun or fair at all, but unlike Iri head it's not as quick. I guess most people just don't go against good Clowns, or when they're playing they just pretend the survivors are potatoes and screwed up or something.

    Seriously, RPF is up there with Iri Head/Infantry Belt, Black Insence, Top Knot and both of Doctors add-ons for the "okay, how are people supposed to even do okay agaisnt this without being in a full, co-ordinated party with meta perks" catagory.

    Mnhhh I would say iri hatchets are the strongest for sure, they are literally just over powered.

    I would say a tombstone piece, not even judith's tombstone would be the second strongest, if using a bow or something with it.

    Then maybe clown pinky finger.


    Pinky finger is pretty strong, but it can't just delete someone from the game while still at 4 or 5 gens either haha. Most people are just not good enough to really make full use out of it, but those that are will literally just mori someone before a gen pops sometimes.

    Personally as a Clown main, it's not even his best add on, let alone the best in the game.

    Plague has some busted ones that are worse than tattoos especially

    It is clown's best addon. 90% of my bottle throws are direct hits if I'm purposely aiming for a survivor. It's a extremely busted addon, and can end games quicker on the same level as an iri head huntress if the clown player knows how to direct impact. Combine it with flask of bleach and the game is done before it even starts.

    Usually, I atleast, find it better to throw it ahead of them rather than directly at them, and once survivors know you have this add on, predropping pallets occurs even more.

    There are stronger add on combos for sure, but by themselves, i think they win. RPF is iri head, without limiting to 1. Iri head needs the belt to be really OP.

    Incense is about equal to TMF, maybe a little better as it gives you more information more often but can get cleansed.

    Tombstone really needs the (journal?)

    Again this is all just my opinion.

    Black Incense is a bloodbath even on an average plague, against players who play smart and don't cleanse it's an easy win and people who insta cleanse and are absolute potatoes are easy to deal with anyway
