Thoughts on soul guard?
Recently I've been using it and talking about it on here and I just love it
I love it when a noed user slugs me and I get a free revive or in one case a third seal slugger

One of my favorite perks when a game goes south and you're fully recovered and one tap away but your hero comes with the slasher right on their tail. If I'm tryharding I'll run Soul Guard. Being able to get out of there and get someone else up can make all the difference, especially if it's a repeated thing.

yep comes in clutch hard in those moments

It's a fun perk when it does activate.
Ran it several times with SWF and when I was getting tunneled, my pal used For The People on me which really screwed the killer's plan since it wasted so much of the killer's time. Soul Guard + FTP is really fun to pull off.

Good but situational

Good for combo, great for SWF groups... On Its own it is not so good generaly speaking.
It's a gamble perk. I would rather pick Ubreakeble then this combo or that perk on Its own.

Despite its low pick-rate, it's pretty good. Generally only sweaty players tend to run it, usually in swf. Part of the reason its so good is the surprise factor. Killers pretty much never expect it and will hit you for a speed boost. It can easily turn the tide of a match, especially late-game.
All that being said, I hardly ever run it myself since I play solo. You have to pray you get slugged and pray a teammate actually picks you up to use it. Unless you wanna run Unbreakable too, but then you're burning 2 perk slots for a situation that might not happen. I'd rather run something more consistent. But it is fun!

rarely use SG, tho I love seeing teammates pull off unexpected escapes with it; feels rewarding... always respect the play from both sides.
Curious to see what the next survivor perk to become incessantly bemoaned over after DH gets nerfed down to complete uselessness, like MoM & OoO (CoH, somewhat). Maybe it’ll be you, Soul Guard, you lovely li’l perk😔

Inconsistent, unless you're using UB/SG to get an easy escape during EGC

What sucks is that even while affected by the Cursed Status Effect, Unbreakable's one-time-use recovery is consumed.

Someone told me on here yesterday that it does not. Well, that needs to be looked at then, as Unbreakable is not consumed while under the effects of Exponential.
As to the OP, I would say it is only useful in a SWF in 90% or more of cases. I’ll never forget the match it got me out by itself as a solo survivor against a toxic camping, tunneling, slugging Bubba though.

It's a really good perk, just very situational.

Also it's reliant on Killer's using Hexes
I don't so good luck getting Soul Guard to work
But yes I do see Soul Guard get uses (When I did use Hexes)

I really hate soul guard when used against me, more than dead hard

Oh my. That’s a hot take!

It used to depending on the order of the perks in your loadout. It's been fixed for a while so now it doesn't consume it.
@ Topic:
It's a fun perk but situational and I never run it without UB.
2 -
personally? complete garbage. Reason? i dont run hexes and i main killer.
generally? its very situational and use is not always a given. not the best perk. is it worth using over Unbreakable, which i had to google since i couldn't remember its name? i dont know.

Yet another perk that is useful mainly for SWF. Even then it is pretty lame - unless you pair it with Unbreakable maybe, even then it's lame.

i love it paired with UB, but wouldn't use it on its own tbh.
I get value like, maybe once or twice in 10 matches? But when it works I'm reminded why I used it in the first place haha. No greater high than having a killer leave me slugged to go for a 4k, he kills that guy, and goes to seal the deal only for me to just Unbreakable in his face and laugh all the way to the hatch. Perfect for when I'm in a Shining Lion flashlight Feng mood
