Smash hit

So the new survivor perk smash hit is kinda rubbish not played her but this one perk is basically another sprint burst with added steps I'd sooner use lithe if I wanted another step to run away quickly. I dunno tho if anyone has used this perk on testing let me know if it's worth it as I would like to get her when she comes out but atm there seems to be more better investments perk wise.

    It's more of a meme tier perk in my opinion.

    There's no reason to use it instead of Sprint Burst or Dead Hard

    I could see it paring really well with power struggle but that's about it.

    Its 4sec instead of 3. I think its still weaker than the meta exhaustion perks, but a longer duration is a step in the right direction.

    Besides head on its the worst exhaustion perk. If you are fighting a killer like slinger or huntress good luck getting value out of it

    It kinda counters spirit fury and enduring.

    Just curious, why is that even an argument? I have not seen Spirit Fury for months. And rarely run into Enduring as well.


    @Topic:

    It is clearly outclassed by Sprint Burst and Dead Hard and really weak. Head On and maybe Balanced Landing might be the only Perks who are weaker. However, there was not that much left to create a new Exhaustion Perk.

    I dont think it will see much use, Killers can counter it by respecting Pallets, it is only really useful at unsafe Pallets (because you want to stay on the safe ones) and you might even get a Killer who is unlikely to get stunned (Spirit, Nurse, Hag, Huntress, Deathslinger, as examples). Let alone that Latency can easily mean that the Survivor will get hit.

    Definitely a meme perk.

    Tenacity

    Flip flop

    Power struggle

    Smash hit

    It's not meant to be an argument. It's a piece of information. I neither agreed or disagreed with the OP.

    Don't expect every new perk introduced to be a meta perk or even come close.

    Its just a perk, use it if you like it, dont use it if you dont like it.

    If you are expecting the perk to outclass sprint burst and dead hard, you are literally asking for a perk that will be overpowered.

    it can help you get away from unsafe pallet loops. other than that, you should kinda avoid getting a stun

    I think people are massively underestimating this perk.

    The distance it can create after dropping a pallet and the fact it can turn what is a weak pallet and an almost guaranteed hit for the killer into a sprint burst to a safe loop is huge.

    It's still not out so we don't know yet but.... A meme and/or weak perk?.... I don't know guys, i don't really see it that way....

    It's weaker than Sprint Burst and Lithe, but stronger than DH, balanced, Head On

    From what I've heard, it got a speed buff, meaning you'll sprint a second longer than other exhaustion perks. I'll use it on select survivors. It seems like a fun gimmick.

    That’s just to make up for the second you’re getting out of the pallet drop animation though. They literally just introduced the worst exhaustion perk in the game. Every other one can be used throughout the match minus Adrenaline (DH while injured only but that’s it). This requires not only a pallet, but a pallet stun, and you get exhausted. I didn’t even think about the prospect of killers that aren’t as easily stunned mentioned above, making the perk even more garbage than I originally conceived.
