Why using lightborn

it’s even better when the survivor isn’t wiggling so you can use them as a weapon lol.

I like using the perk "looking at a wall" more

Preferable if its Tier 3

As some one who has used a build dedicated to forcing some one to be my backpack one too many times

It is not :(

because it's so funny to have a survivor try to blind you and then run away

Idk who Benjo is, but yeah

I usually bring either Starstruck, STBFL or Infectious with that

Because in my personal experience, "Look at a wall" doesn't look anymore since they can apparently blind the back of my head now.

Exactly, best perk in the game, lol

I wear Lightborn because that perk failed me and I got blinded at the side of my head. I promised myself never again, leveled Billy, and became one with the Light. No regerts.

I think Lightborn is funnier. Starstruck, you'll catch the first guy that runs in for the save, but they all run away after the first time it procs. Lightborn, they keep trying... and trying...

Lightborn isn't a great perk, but I will say it does have an advantage overall compared to Insidious. Insidious has basically just one rational use - standing in place and camping a spot. And note that it doesn't actually make you literally invisible, survivors can still see you perfectly fine, it just removes your red stain and terror radius so you're not as obvious. So you can camp a hook or generator or the basement, etc, and maybe get a surprise hit on someone coming back to it. So outside of that gimmicky basement face camp thing it's kind of terrible compared to actually playing more proactively.

Lightborn isn't all that great because honestly if the survivors are trying to get flashlight plays on you they're probably not spending their time efficiently. And it's not usually that difficult to avoid a flashlight save (flashbangs might be slightly harder to avoid when they're used well, but flashlights you can often just look at a wall when you pick someone up and listen for people running in and avoid the blind.) That being said, though, one nice feature of Lightborn is the 10 second aura it gives you on any survivor who tries to blind you. A 10 second aura is a relatively long aura, it's longer than Lethal Pursuer for example, and seeing a survivor's aura when they're near you makes it very difficult for them to mindgame or juke you in a chase. So between them already being close since they were trying to blind you, and you seeing their aura for a while afterward, this perk often leads to a free quick hit on the flashlighter. Now I don't necessarily think a couple free hits is worth a perk slot, but it's still probably more than you'd get from Insidious. 🤷‍♂️

On a tangent, Lightborn is also the centerpiece of one of the funnier gimmick loadouts, basically just leaning all in on punishing flashlighters

The Dim Bulb Build

• Lightborn - Immune to blinds, see aura of survivors who try to blind you
• Brutal Strength - Break pallets and gens more quickly
• Agitation - Move 105% speed while carrying a survivor (so you can outrun a survivor while carrying)
• and either
• Endurance - Reduces pallet stun time; or
• Mad Grit - Allows for free swings and hits while carrying someone

This build is basically made to give free quick hits against anybody who flashlights you either at a pallet or while carrying someone. Because you break pallets so quickly with Brutal Strength there's virtually no chance someone who tries to blind you while you break the pallet will more than a couple of meters before you smack them. And with Agitation you can punish both flashlight blinders and body blockers more easily and still have time to reach a hook. If you really want to go all in on the gimmick, Mad Grit plus Agitation is the ultimate F-U to people messing around near you while you carry someone. On the other hand, Endurance is a bit more broadly useful since pallet stuns are more likely to happen even against good survivors. It's a terrible loadout but hilarious when it works. 😄

I had to afk before a match started. When I came back, it was Trapper in Midwich with Startruck, Madgrid, Agitation carrying me.

I decided not to play and see how the games going. Literally Infinity Tier3 Myer with 108 speed + traps. Beat up other 3 survivors real hard.

When he dropped me to setup traps. It was the 4th drop so counted as wiggled out, I ran away while he stunned.

Because when you're running Starstruck it makes their whole screen flash and say "YOU ARE EXPOSED" when you pick someone up, so they'd have to be stupid to get it with it.

Anyone who's good with a flashlight will blind you well before you can take a swing at them and be gone by the time your blind and stun is over, so you still lose the person you're carrying them it's just a chance that you get the exposed person after. Lightborn just means I'm not ever going to lose the person at all to a blind, and I often get free hits on people who stay behind a pallet trying for way too long to get the blind.

Because we are Lightborn Gamers.
