The Executioner's add ons
So, the last time I made a post about his add ons, it was so unhelpful that I might as well have said nothing at all. (Please don't look at it.) To that end, I made a list that would hopefully outline the main issues with Pyramid Head's add ons as a whole.
duration add-ons
These are the add ons that increase the duration that Rites of Judgement trails remain on the map.
The way you want to use his trails is to put them down while running a loop. This forces a survivor to either leave the loop and risk a hit, or take the Torment. If you are in a chase, the trails don't need any extra time, you wouldn't even notice you had it.
Now, let's assume they are far away from you, in a place where you might actually get value. The survivor can just crouch through the trail, it applies no pressure, and even the worst of survivors can comprehend "don't run into the barbed wire." So if it's far away, there's no you to pressure the survivor into the trail.
In other words, there is no situation where you would ever be able to get value against even half-decent survivors.
Recharge add-ons
These add ons will make Rites of Judgement recharge faster.
It's hard to tell your even running it, if you find yourself in a situation where you are actually getting value out of these add-ons, you probably aren't playing him right. Besides, his power charges up fast enough for most people. Also, people don't tend to use up the whole meter at once.
Unless you are playing him poorly, you won't get really any value out of these add-ons
meter duration add-ons
These add ons will make your Rites of Judgement meter larger, meaning you can put down more trails.
It's hard to tell your even running it, if you find yourself in a situation where you are actually getting value out of these add-ons, you probably aren't playing him right.
See: Recharge add ons
range add-ons
These are the add-ons that increase the range of Punishment of the Damned
Actually, these ones are nice, I see no issues with them.
Just noticed that the only good Pyramid Head add-ons are the ones that change Punishment of the Damned
killer-instinct add-ons
These increase the duration of Killer Instinct when a survivor becomes Tormented
I only just now realized these exist. In a chase, I can just hit them myself, and away from a chase, I only need the alert for a few moments. The amount of times I've got a hit solely because of Killer Instinct is once. I'm All Ears does the job so much better and so much more reliably
There isn't even a point in running these, for the same reason as the Duration add ons. Close, you can just do it yourself. From far away, he only needs to know where you are for a few seconds at best.
rust-colored egg
Blindness for 60 seconds when a survivor runs into a trail of torment.
So, when the enemy is weakened, I barely even notice. It's almost impossible to tell that the opponent is blind, and not much a thing I can take advantage of
Practically impossible to know you even get value out of it. Completely pointless besides not going in with add ons at all.
lost memories book
Survivors are oblivious for 15 seconds after running through a trail of torment.
I basically have to be right next to them to get value. Perhaps if they are running through a Dead Zone and happened to run into a trail of torment as I ran up to them and they didn't notice me, but that never happens. If they didn't notice me they would crouch through the trail.
It's far too tentative, in a world where we have perks like Hex: Plaything, running Lost Memories Book is almost pointless.
crimson ceremony book
Hemorrhage for tormented survivors
Following blood trails can be useful, but almost anyone can already do that whether or not the other guy is bleeding a ton.
It's a Hemorrhage add-on, those are almost never good.
obsidian goblet
Undetectable when standing on a trail of torment
I mean over running nothing, I guess it's better, I had to look up what it does because it's so pointless.
Niche. Awkward. That's about it.
iridescent seal of Metatron
See the aura of all tormented survivors after caging a survivor.
I mean, it's not bad. But it's only ever used to see where the person you caged went off to. I could see it maybe as a purple add-on, but forces you to cage when you could just use BBQ to get auras whether or not the survivors are tormented
Decent, but underwhelming.

One of his Ultra Rare's should be changed to inflict Torment on anyone hit by Punishment. That would be really good.

That's a common request I've heard. Probably could replace Obsidian Goblet.
Also if they removed the warning light thing from the survivor's POV that'd be great too.

I think it should replace the Iridescent Seal, and the Obsidian Goblet should make also you undetectable when performing Rites of Judgement, rather than only when standing on it's trails.

Ehh, that’s still really niche. I think he needs more add ons that correlate with POTD
