Apply an Undying effect to Hex: Huntress Lullaby

Alcuin

Outside of Rancor, Blood Warden, and Huntress Lullaby, there aren't any killer perks that are thematic, fun, and exist to add tension to the trial rather than solely functionality. Rancor and Blood Warden are pretty balanced whereas Lullaby is weak. Paired with Undying, it will last longer but devoting half of one's build to these two perks puts the killer at a disadvantage. Even at five stacks, Lullaby isn't that strong. It's fun though, which is why it should be buffed.

My solution is the following. It's applied to a totem at the beginning of the trial. If it's cleansed prior to hooking a survivor, it will transfer to a dull totem once a survivor is hooked. Whenever it is cleansed after stacks are acquired, it transfers to a dull totem minus one stack. If it's at five stacks and cleansed, it transfers to a dull totem at four stacks provided any such totems are still present on the map. If all totems are cleansed, its effect is no longer applicable.

This would make it a perk worth running and would have a place in a Huntress build, as well.

So your idea is to turn this perk into pentimento galore?

I don't think that survivors have THAT much time for removing hexes as you think.

I agree with you. Survivors don't have enough time to cleanse all five totems, especially after the update. But Lullaby is a perk that can be at full strength and still not be anywhere near overpowered. It's not that hard to hit skill checks without the auditory warning. It adds a twist to the match, though, that isn't present when every killer runs META perks. Blood Warden and Rancor are the two other perks that are in the same category.

I'd rather just buff it so it does not require stacks and just works from the get go instead of needing 5 hooks.

if ruin works without hooks why should harder skillchecks not work at the start of the game.

also your proposal + pentimento seems horrible to play against. I d rather buff the effect than change how hexes work

Yes, Lalluby is only good for survivors at 0 or 5 tokens. Anything in between screws them.

But i agre on only lighting up when you get a token

I forgot about Pentimento. Maybe it shouldn't be a hex.
