Hellblazer Paragraph - Perk Ideas

Ever since I saw Hellblazer on that one survey as an option for what licenses to bring into Dead By Daylight, I've been consumed with thoughts about exactly what John Constantine would look like as a survivor, and so I decided to whip up some perk ideas for how he'd function in the game. As a note, I am working from the Vertigo/Hellblazer version of the character, not the DC version- partially a matter of familiarity, partially a matter of thinking that the horror comic incarnation would work better in this game.

  • Synchronicity Wavelength: You always have a habit of knowing exactly where you need to be, well in advance of needing to be there. At the start of the match, all survivors see the aura of the Exit Gates for 4/5/6 seconds, and you see the aura again every time a generator is completed. Additionally, the aura of opened Exit Gates is revealed to you during the Endgame Collapse.
  • Boon: Advanced Preparation: You never go into a fight unprepared if you can help it. [Blah blah boon totem base mechanic explanation goes here], in the radius of the Boon Totem all empty pallet spawn spots are filled with a Phantom Pallet. These pallets spawn pre-dropped, can be destroyed by the killer 50% quicker than normal pallets, and disappear when the boon is snuffed. Broken pallets do not respawn unless the boon is re-applied.
  • Last One Standing: They must be your friends; they're dead. For each survivor sacrificed or killed in the trial, gain a token. For each token, increase the Exit Gate opening speed by [percentage]%. At three tokens, the sound of opening the Exit Gate is suppressed by 75%.

The idea being, of course, that Constantine survives not through brute strength, but through canny intuition and being a paranoid, over-prepared son of a ######### who'll absolutely benefit from others taking the fall in his place, even if he feels rotten about it afterwards. In terms of cosmetics, obviously there's the base outfit, and then having a no coat, sleeves rolled up type cosmetic, but I also think his three-piece blue suit from the older comics and some kind of Punk Frontman outfit would work pretty well.

Open to feedback, of course, but do bear in mind that I'm fully aware these aren't going to replace meta perks. The goal is to add in fun perks which make doing his Adept challenge less of a pain than on other survivors, as well as providing options for specific builds, not to overtake DS/BT/UB/DH etc etc.
