Perk Appriciation: Fogwise and Hex: Blood Favour.

Riski

I made one of these previously about a couple of perks I liked and decided to make another about some I've been sitting on. These are perks that I feel like could do with a bit more love from the community despite their otherwise niche aplication.

Firstly is fogwise, a perk from Victorio which shows you the killer's aura when you hit a great skill check. I'm a filthy casual scrub who can't hit greats all the time and the base benefit although nice isn't enough for me to care optimising, so a perk that gives me that kind of challenge with worthwhile reward is nice. This originally was hyperfocus but once fogwise came out the infomation is so much nicer for my playstyle and stratergies. Knowing exactly where the killer is is infomation that is rare but so valuable at any point in the game. My favourite move with this perk is using a toolbox to "fish" for skillchecks when I need the infomation as it's not only useful but gives a unique way to use toolboxes rather than gen go fast brrr. My favourite perk with this is probably sprint burst so I can get a read on the killer and know which direction to run to optimise my distance. Although not on every build this porivdes a fun and unique way to play which makes for a nice change.

Meanwhile I got Hex:Blood Favour, a perk from the blight that blocks nearby pallets when injuring a survivor for a short time. Early game is my favourite point in the game as good plays can get grately rewarded with snowball forcing both sides to find a good balanced between risk and reward and this perk can give a lot of reward. The pallet blocking is lethal on killers with short cooldowns such as Trickster, Executioner and Plague and it's also useful on high mobility killers like Wesker or Wraith as it forces survivors to hold W allowing you to catch up before they can get to a new pallet. The versitility of this perk combined with the snowball it helps induce is of great value, and the fact it's a hex although negative is minor as long as it help you get those first few downs at which point it has done it's job. My favourite killer for this is Plague, people don't tend to drop pallets until fully infected at which point this perk triggers and the cooldown in corrupt purge is so short that it's hard for survivors to find safty. I've recently found this being my default 4th perk on builds where I don't have much else to run due to the strength this gives you on so many killers who need to help to get going.

I love blood favor on plague and some other range killers, but it’s biggest problem is it can be pretty useless on m1 killers, depending on how the survivor plays. But I have enjoyed running it more lately
