So as a survivor, assuming you have the perks available once Portrait of a Murder goes live, are you planning to use Unbreakable, Boon: Exponential, neither or both in your most commonly used loadout? If you're not sure just go with your gut and take a guess, it's just for fun anyway. 😄

I've seen a lot of back and forth on Boon: Exponential and Unbreakable recently, with some people saying Exponential will be game breakingly powerful and other saying it's overrated. And of course not all survivors use Unbreakable either. So it got me curious enough that I figured a poll might be a fun way to see what you guys are thinking.

    I'll only equip the boon for adept trophy, tome challenge, or if I have no better perk. I've done the same for Unbreakable. I'd rather destroy totems to prevent NOED and there's other perks I prefer over Unbreakable.

    I will try it out probably but wont be part of my main build

    My build fluctuates too much for me to really have a concrete main build. Only perk I almost always have is DS because being tunnelled is kind of annoying and DS helps give me peace of mind.

    I don't really like bringing anti-slugging perks because they are very situational.

    Same and once I take them off, that's when I get slugged.

    Both Boon: Exponential and Unbreakable

    Both are ridiculously strong perks. Unbreakable is better if you want to use just a 'get up perk', but using 2/3 boons at once is much stronger, because you bless the totem once for value of multiple perks.

    Honestly, both Unbreakable and Exponential should be nerfed.

    The thing about Boon: Exponential is people greatly overestimate it's power. Killers will often talk about how it completely counters slugging and that can be a used tactic to keep up pressure. The issue is people are assuming they got downed in range of their boon and you have a reason to keep them slugged and not just pick them up. This boon really is the definition of a swf used perk. You will never get it to work if you're solo queue or just a duo. Actually maybe you will as a duo, but still not a ton.

    Another thing is, based on what I've already said, if you're facing a swf competent enough that they can pull this perk off, you probably weren't going to do well anyways.

    So personally, I'm not going to change my build. I don't play enough swf when playing survivor to pull it off.

    Neither of them. I am not running Unbreakable, because I think it is too situational. Boon: Exponential is even more situational and I dont think Boon-Perks are that great anyway. Cant be bothered to spend 14 seconds on a Totem so that the Killer can snuff this out in a second. IMO way too overrated, not many people will use the new Boon-Perk.

    I never really used Unbreakable anyways, pretty boring and it is just not a perk slot if the killer doesnt slug, and this new boon won't be any different really, except if you hate twins.

    Honestly when I play survivor the killers usually don't slug so neither would even do anything
