It's safe to assume HellPriest is one of the best Endgame killers mechanically.

Considering the buffs incoming to him, it would be nearly impossible to escape out the exit gates if you grab the Lament Configuration (being chained prevents escape out the exit gate).

Even if no one grabs it, injuring the remaining survivors and protecting the box from aquisition will still eventually trigger a chain hunt, making the survivors slower, more visible (due to the chains) and vulnerable to your special attack.

Also remember that Endgame collapse is on a timer, if they're too slow to make it out of the gates, they become sacrificed. This is the one time a survivors speed has a factor *and* not attacking can be useful. Continuously chaining a survivor that is healthy or otherwise wouldn't die can stop them from reaching the gate in time to escape.

It's cruel... but hilarious!

    The worst takeaway I have from the new buffs to Pinhead is I can't steal the box anymore. Not necessarily hold it hostage (although I did because I could), but leaving with it has to be done within 60 seconds of you grabbing it during the EGC, as the Chain Hunt will prevent you from leaving.
