Have you ever seen power struggle used without the flip flop combo?

    Yes.

    I've even seen it successfully work without Flip-Flop.

    I've had it work with boil over before, I hadn't got flip flop on yoichi yet but I wanted to run the perk and I was at dead dawg saloon, I got carried off the main building and right through the pallet out front, when the killer knows you have boil over they will try to take a more direct pathing to a hook even if it means going through pallets to get you there because they're just trying to get you there without getting hung on any edges or getting swayed too much in one direction.

    Yep. I tend to use it myself without Flip-Flop because it leaves more room for a normal build. It's not that reliable, but I still get it off once every few games.

    It's way better in indoor maps or maps with large buildings because there's likelier to be pallets the killer has to walk through, or would have to take a large detour not to walk through. On purely outdoor maps, it's not great.

    I advise running it on anyone who isn't Elodie, though. People expect it on Elodie the same way people expect Adams to have Deliverance. On anyone else, it'll take the killer by surprise.

    I've gotten Power Struggle to go off with the buff it got without Flip Flop prebuilding up the wiggle progression. It's certainly a lot more doable as the 15% mark is a lot more reasonable without the aid of other perks.

    I still don't really run it without Flip Flop since it's just more reliable with it. But it's certainly possible.

    from killer's POV: I've NEVER seen Power Struggle in anyone's loadout ever. Since this perk came out I never met anyone running it.

    But oh boy just the pure existence of that perk makes my heart skip a beat. Because whenever I have to pass through the pallet when carrying someone, the reminder that Power Struggle exists pops into my mind and give me a mini heart attack.

    You don't need that perk to make killers overthink stuff.

    Power Struggle without Flip Flop?

    You can play Power Struggle without Power Struggle

    Yeah

    I've been traumatised ever since.

    This random Yun-Jin on Hawkins just happened to have it and as I was carrying her to a hook I got slapped in the face with a pallet.


    Although sometimes I just walk through pallets anyway because I like to live dangerously 😎

    Friend and I once brought Meat Plant offering with pre-buff Boil Over and Power Struggle. The rule was we were only allowed to drop pallets with Power Struggle c:

    It's very rare, but boy when it works it feels GREAT. I remember one time it saved me from a basement Trapper, absolutely golden.

    Tenacity is what you actually needs, Power struggle is useless in SoloQ without Tenacity. you go down then wait a while then the killer picks you up then there's no time to crawl into a pallet.
