Todays question is Lithe Or Sprintburst? Both Sprinting Perks. (I believe)

    I use sprint burst more often, but I like how Lithe doesnt force you to wall everywhere or very carefully 99 your sprint burst (only to accidentally let go of shift and accidentally use it anyway LMAO)

    I like using lithe as I always waste sprint burst when running to location. I like having to save my burst when I need it. Plus the vaulting build is fun.

    I'd prefer Lithe.

    Sprint burst is superior by a long shot. If you are a good looper you can instantly reset positioning and also you can repair deadzone generators freely. It is the best exhaustion perk.

    Lithe. Sprint burst I always forget I have and just zoom into trees. Lithe I also forget I have but it's usually in more appropriate situations

    I acknowledge that Sprint Burst is better than Lithe. Especially when taking into account how often you'll get hit through windows when on your screen the killer was no where close to you thanks to dedicated servers. But Lithe kind of requires you to use pallets or windows. Limiting it to your environment, also as Otz says it can make you a bit predictable on what your plan is during a chase.

    As for Sprint Burst, it works on every map, and any location. The only problem is you have to walk everywhere, or hope that when you ran to a gen your exhaustion goes away before the killer shows up and you need it. It's pretty annoying honestly when I'm the killer.

    While better, I don't like having the restriction that Sprint Burst does to my movement. So I choose Lithe.

    Sprint Burst is more useful but harder to manage, because walking + constantly watching exhaustion cd.

    Lithe is 1000% better. Sprint burst encourages folks to not run and requires management to be ready when needed.

    With Lithe, all you have to do is take note of where vaults are when you are working on an objective, going for the save, etc. Combine it with other perks to lose the killer and you will get away quickly and not be found. I often lose line of sight due to Lithe and I can run whenever I want!

    My preferred one is Lithe. There are just too many situations where I need to get somewhere fast but don't want to kill my Sprinting Perk. Lithe does have the downside that you need a window to jump through (and some maps, those are pitifully rare) but I have found that Lithe lets me kill more of the killers time (since if you Sprint Burst right away, they may just choose not to chase you).

    Sprint burst any day of the week.

    While sprint burst is definitely better I tend to run lithe more often just because of how restrictive sprint burst can feel to use.

    Lithe, I am an aggressive player and can't be bothered to save my SB.
