Perk combo
I would like to add more diversity to my gameplay, without just taking a perk I don't use a lot and throw it to my build and period. The objective is to use perks which work well together. Example? No Mither and Resilience. You're injured because of No Mither, then Resilience is always active and give you a boost to almost all your actions (healing, repairing, etc.).
Tell me what's your favorite perk combination, one you think is good on paper but you never tried, etc. Let's be creative! And let's use the perks coming with the new chapters too, as we know their effects already.
Combination can be two, three or even four perks, but keep in mind I'm primarly not looking for builds. Also, if it seems I'm asking for Survivor, it's because it's my main role for now. I'm surely open to hear about Killer's perk combinations as well!
Happy Friday and weekend!

Stakeout + This is not happening (+possibly No Mither): Each skill check awards 2% bonus instead of 1, basically undoing the nerf that happened some time ago. If you can land Great skill checks consistently, you can change This is not Happening for Resilience or other combination.

I didn't know those two perks could work together. Definitively gonna try it out!

Detectives Hunch, Inner Strength, Head on, DS.
Just been unhooked and the killer is coming right back at you? Hop in that locker and he either eats the DS or you recover to full health. After you recover, they will likely try pull you out to take you back down a health state, Head on and make a run for it.
Hex Retribution and Haunted ground. If they pop haunted ground you have 10 seconds of aura reveal on exposed survivors. Pair with undying for extra horror.

Here's a cool one
Dance with me + Deception
Vault a window, lose your scratch marks then run past a locker and extend the loss of scratch marks by another 3 seconds, giving you a total of 6 seconds without scratch marks
Situational but fun to mess around with

I have a few fun perk combos and builds
Autodidact, Solidarity, Aftercare, Spain Chill
Repressed Alliance, Sprint burst, Windows of oppurtunity and Premonition.
Power Struggle, Flip Flop, Decisive Strike, Tenacity.
For the People, Dead Hard, Desperate Measures, Self Care
When Smash Hit comes out pare that with Power Struggle.
Deliverence, Breakdown, Iron Will, Resilience
Iron Will, Lucky Break, Deception, Head On.
I haven't tried this build out yet because I'm trying to make a build with second wind. I will edit it if I think of something.
That's all for now. I'm trying to experiment with different perks and these are all I have come up with.
I thought of a few others
Mettle Of Man, Dead Hard, Self Care, Boil Over, (or Breakout that's good to)
Adrenaline, Posied, Iron Will, Dark sense.

Good ideas! I knew about DS and UB, but not about DS and Head On. I rarely use DS, I often forget it works with lockers.
Retribution is from Deathslinger, right? The combination sounds interesting to put some pressure! But I have to play quick then, or I finish the trial with two or one perk only.

Basically, as long as you have at least one token of Stakeout your great skill checks award 2% progress, and good skill checks are converted to great at the cost of 1 token. This is not happening makes it easier to land them if you're injured, that's where the correlation with No Mither comes from. It's a nice alternative to resilience if you just want to gen jokey or feel like you're playing pre nerf.

The stealth one! I'm wondering if it could work on the shack... 🤔
Waw, you have a lot of ideas! I would love to hear what you think of your combinations and builds after you tried them.
I see, thanks for the details! I could see being super cool with the new Survivor perk—Fast Track.

I have used all of them and they are fun. The only one I would say is a bit hard is the mettle of man one since your going going ha e to be a bit altruistic and reckless in order to get it to activate. But when It does its fun.

Sorry, I misunderstood! I know what I'm doing during the weekend now: testing the combinations!
Mettle of Man is hard to use, but rewarding. Thanks again for sharing your builds. :)

For Survivor: I like Repressed Alliance + Better Together + Visionary.
Im a gen jockey at heart and this combo let’s me find gens easier but also keeps my allies informed on where gens are. Visionary to always stay on top of gens personally, Better Together to help survivors find me and help me pop gens (also useful to gather people to me for heal up), and if Im alone and Killer comes at me, Repressed Alliance to protect my gen progress and show others where my gen is (so that maybe they can finish it for me). Then the 4th is my exhaustion perk.
Killer: Nemesis + Dark Devotion + Enduring/Brutal Strength
Enduring or Brutal to power through pallets. Just always swing at pallet drops and take the stun. Nemesis procs and survivor your chasing becomes oblivious and becomes obsession. Smack the obsession to proc Dark Devotion.
Break chase to hunt others while undetected and internally laugh at survivors mistakenly running from other survivors thinking they are the killer or are being chased by the killer. xD

I like Better Together, but people ignore my generator most of the time. 😹 I like the idea of using Visionary with it and Repressed Alliance. Prove Thyseld could be nice to add to the combination!
The Killer's perks sound interesting for some fun!

Provethyself and Detectives
Empathy and Botany
Leader+anti slug perk

For killer I have been running Devour Hope, Undying, Spirit Fury, Enduring with double speed add-ons with blight playing hyper aggressively.
For survivor I like Headon, Dance with Me, Q&Q and Deception.

Could you explain Detective's with PT? Empathy and Botany are great for a healing build. I would add Desperate Measures with them!
Classic build for Survivor, but fun! I used it a few times, but once, I get out slowly of my locker and the Killer watched me like they didn't understand what was happening. I missclicked. 🙈

Corrupt intervention, haunted grounds. Sometimes survivors need a little spice.

Provethyself to pop that first gen for all the info you'll need.

Oh, I see! Paired with Bond, and you can find someone to work with. Cool!
When you think you're cleansing Ruin and the Killer comes behind you right after you're done with the totem. 👀
