Buffy Summers (Perk Ideas)

So my favourite show of all time is Buffy the Vampire Slayer and after Ash being added as a survivor, it got me thinking about how Buffy would be an awesome addition. Other than her strength, Buffy is mainly seen as somebody who protects the innocent, so I tried to make that reflect in my perk ideas.

Let me know what you think of 'em.


Beacon: 

Dabbling in the Dark Arts has taught you a thing or two.

When repairing a generator 1/2/3 Survivor(s) see your aura. 

“Strong is fighting! It's hard, and it's painful, and it's every day. It's what we have to do. And we can do it together." ― Buffy Summers 


Minder:

It’s your sacred duty to keep everybody else safe. 

Each time you unhook a survivor they leave no scratch marks for 4/6/8 seconds. 

“I’m the thing that monsters have nightmares about. And right now, you and me are gonna show ‘em why.” - Buffy Summers 


Disruption:

There’s strength in numbers. It’s time for you to share your gift. 

Whenever your aura is exposed to the killer, any survivor(s) within 4/6/8 meters of you will not be shown.

"There is only one thing on this earth more powerful than evil, and that's us." - Buffy Summers

    The perks sound pretty decent but honestly if they released a buffy summers survivor i would spend money on that in a heartbeat regardless of perks 😂 now i want this so bad.

    For real feedback though i think minder could hide scratchmarks for longer (poised hides then for 6/8/10 seconds). Disruption could probably go farther as well simply because it wouldnt be most peoples favorite perk lol

    Item: Scythe (Ultra Rare)

    Allows you to Mori the killer by your own hand.

    Good ideas, well done!

    @CJsDBD The reason I made the Disruption ranges pretty small is because if they were too large it could potentially render perks like Barbecue & Chilli useless. It's only supposed to activate when you are close to another teammate. It could come in handy when working on generators with other people. The killer will see your aura, but nobody else's, so you can go and be the distraction whilst your other teammates finish off the gen.

    And I agree about buying Buffy in a heartbeat, she'd definitely become my survivor main. 😍

    I love Buffy! I would totally main her in a heartbeat. That said I bet, much like Sidney, we’ll be tricked somehow. We’d probably get Kristy Swanson version.

    I'm with you. I would love to see Buffy added as a survivor.

    I think minder would be more useful working on the unhooked survivor

    best ######### idea ever and simultaniously the reason why buffy cannot be a survivor at all. She would even kill the Entity asap.

    Well... if we are really going to entertain the idea.... I don't think Buffy is the right call for the chapter. We don't need the Slayer. We need a Killer and some good Survivors. And thus... we need:

    FAITH as the Killer, i.e. our first beautiful, deadly evil gal. A dark Slayer fits the bill. She can even use her favorite knife.

    The Survivors should be Xander and Giles. We have plenty of women Survivors already.

    *Key point, getting the license to use these three would be a whole heck of a lot cheaper than the other characters.

    I have a few she Is super strong so maybe she could break breakable walls, create a stake out of broken pallets to stun the killer once per trial but for a carried teammate she'd have to sneak up on them to get the stun, and to counter body camping maybe she could carry them for like a few seconds and move the downed survivor away.

    Beacon is somewhat different, but Situational Awareness already highlights a gen when it is worked on, granted only out to 32 meters.

    Minder is a less effective Guardian, and Guardian shows the unhooker the aura of the killer.

    Disruption is interesting. It might help in a few scenarios, but if you were healing someone they can tell through your aura's movement.

    My opinions. I just feel they wouldn't have much place in current gameplay. I like the idea of Buffy being in game!
