Which is the most OP Iridescent add-on on killer side?

As title said, which add on is the most op?

Me first, Uroboros Vial from Wesker. Act like corrupt intervention, great early game start for killer, give infomation. Very threaten for expose in mid and late game, lastly reducing the aid spray resources later in game as well. I think Wesker is really good and have high kill from this add on.

    blight has got super strong iri’s.

    With iri tag and alch ring paired with infectious I was able to end a game in about 2.5 to 3 minutes.

    Then bulldozer blight with the compound 33 is just amazing.

    in terms of how powerful the killers become with the addons; MDR or compound 33

    in terms of how powerful the addon itself is; mint rag, both of the trapper iris, and like uro vial?

    The question could be interpreted as either what iri add on gives the greater absolute power spike minus where you start from, or alternatively when you consider the end sum with the basekit power. In practice, it might be hard to tell apart.

    I'd say previous answers are on the money. Blight's both iris, MDR, then Uroboros Vial. Pinky Finger and Black Incense are both lowkey busted as well.

    Infinite T3, Iri Tape, Iri Head, Mint Rag, Torn Bookmark and Engineer's Fang are all underappreciated, imho.

    In terms of total power?

    Probably MDR or C33. Both make already strong Killers absolutely busted.

    In terms of relative power?

    Probably Judith's Tombstone. The ability to just kill a Survivor is EXTREMELY strong.

    i heavily disagree on tombstone, it's simply way too slow and can be very easily countered when survivors realize that you have it.

    MDR or Compound 33, Black Incense also really close.

    I dont think Judiths Tombstone is that strong. It is the weaker of Myers Iridescent Add Ons and you basically have to run both Iri Add-Ons with Judiths Tombstone, because otherwise you can just take the Tombstone Piece instead.

    Mother Daughter Ring, Pinky Finger, Compound 33, Engineer's Feng.

    All of these addons are way better than anything Wesker can slap on.

    Unfortunately like 90% of Iri addons are just straight up terrible and never used. I’m of the belief that Iri addons should generally speaking be the killers stronger addons for when he knows he’s going against harder groups since you don’t get nearly as many of them. Examples of actually good Iri addons are both Blights, MDR, both Plagues, and Oroboros. Most people would list these as Iri’s that need nerfs but I’d call these the gold standard for what other Iri’s should be. Myers Iri’s while listed quite often as being overpowered to me are just meme addons. Against bad survivors they seem really strong but good survivors are popping 5 gens before you can trigger them with how slow it is and how little pressure you’re exerting since you’re just stalking. They’re fun though, I like the design. Oh and Trapper Iri’s too, both good, unfortunately not enough to save him.

    People are underrating iri tag. Yes c33 is op and requires less brain power than nemesis, but I think I have lost 5 games running iri tag in my blight career, most of those loses being when I was relatively new. Although I never run c33, 85% of survivors don't even know iri tag exists. 90% of survivors start wiggling and spinning in anticipation for a hit to try to dodge, but will just give me the iri tag proc instead knowing I have it. Not that I have a high sample size though. I have maybe run iri tag 30 times and 20 of those were 4 med-kits(my requirement). Not sure I would nerf iri tag though even considering it's power level, it's the highest skill add-on in the game and has counter play(opposite of c33 in everyway).

    Pinky finger with extra bottes. Compound 33. Black Insence... MDR....but its fine it has a downside, still strong iri, but not as strong as the previous ones i said

  • HugTechLover
    HugTechLover Member Posts: 2,482

    Haha I have the same requirement for iri tag. They bring 4 medkits and I bring the tag. It is such a great addon after you get good at the timing and bump logic.

    Double Iri Demo. Seriously, that combo is just so savage. You see everyone hiding in some bushes while they don't hear you coming and then. Boom! Got another one.

  • Pulsar
    Pulsar Member Posts: 22,952

    True, that's fair.

    I do still think it's better than a LOT of other Iri's. A weaker version of Tombstone Piece is still absurd

    The problem with Tombstone is that it's a 3v1 once you realize he has it more often than not, and playing around it after that means hopping in lockers which basically makes it serve the same function as his other Iri. At worst, it serves the same function as basic Tier 3 if survivors play around it by getting in lockers and at best it's an insta-mori.

    Uro vial ia strong but nowhere near OP. Most busted Iri addon would have to be MDR, C33 or Redhead pinky.

    Definitely Demo's iri. Reading auras every time you portal? Insane. Makes the game so damn easy and it chews up distortion tokens.

  • Aurelle
    Aurelle Member Posts: 3,611

    Compound 33, Iridescent Tag, and Mother Daughter Ring.

    Most iri addons are strong enough except pyramid heads, those suck but if i had to choose what I hate most it's definitely wesker's UWUboros vial, Mdr spirit and blight compound

    I wouldn't say that the most unfair add-on in the game is an iridescent, since I think that it is the Tombstone Piece.

    I don't think it is overpowered or anything since once you know Myers has it you can play around it, but for the first survivor who gets killed and has no way of knowing it is pretty unfair.

    Are you referring to MDR when you said “it’s fine because it has a downside”?

    I am a Spirit main (assuming you are too because of the profile picture) and I can absolutely say that MDR is not a fine add-on because of the downside. The downside barely affects Spirit. It makes an already extremely strong killer that much more overbearing.

    It’s easily the strongest or second strongest add-on in the game. Spirit has free range of movement in phase and she’s moving as fast as killers like Blight and Billy who are limited in their how rapidly they can turn, so she can go mach speeds and fly across the entire map with a free range of movement while being invisible. Slap on Amulet with MDR and you got yourself a good ol’ fashion “GGEZ” match.

    And this is coming from someone who mains Spirit.

    Its not the worst iri out there, and yes i do play spirit. Its a strong addon but it does have a downside. Blights iri addons have 0 downside and are strong as well. Pinky finger has very little downside if you add the extra bottles. Many killers iri addon gives them ability to camp ( huntress and clown comes to mind) MDR doesnt give you that ability. Plagues iri addon literally gives her free radar through out the match as long as they dont drink.

    Against good teams spirit still loses even with MDR , while good blight and nurse can still wreck them pretty easily.

    I use MDR sometimes, but really i rather just use the yellow addon. Though i do curse when i get maps like red forest when i don't have it.

    Pinky Finger, easily. C33 and MDR are close.

    don't think pwyf is gonna stop people from jumping in lockers and just doing gens in your face but go off.

  • Aceislife
    Aceislife Member Posts: 482

    If you're playing Myers, have the Tombstone, and Play with your food tier 3, anyone that hops in a locker or does gens in your face does you a favor, if you're trying to win the game.

    I'd have to with Leprose Lichen for Demogorgon, the add-on reveals all survivors auras for 3 seconds after using and during using a portal. This is very good and it's spammable. You can also combine it with lethal pursuer to get 5 seconds each time. I think this one is the best because it's strong, consistent and has no downsides.

    Pinky Finger and Judith's Tombstone are also very deadly but they come with huge downsides, which admittedly can be mitigated with additional perks or add-ons but the downsides are so big to the point where you have to commit to the playstyle and if survivors can outsmart you on that then they can win. That is very difficult though.
