How it feels like playing Shattered Hope
I just can't play this perk. Help.

People are using this perk whenever they see me in their lobby :)

I think this curse is same as with Deliverence. You pick it and your chance of being first hooked is increased by 99%.

I just run sloppy. It's too inconsistent and is more rewarding of you can interrupt their heal

On a tangent I’ve been meaning to run a Don’t Mess with Hexes build that includes Shattered Hope but haven’t gotten around to it.
Lol, I still see Boons, especially when there’s a Mikaela in the match since Boons are her jam.
- Shattered Hope - Destroy boon totems and see aura of nearby survivors
- Hex: Pentimento - Large penalties on gens and other actions per destroyed totem you reignite
- Hex: Devour Hope - If left uncleansed will give you unlimited Exposed hits and eventually kills
- Hex: Undying or Hex: Haunted Ground or any other Hex of your choice - Either protection for other Hexes plus auras or traps that give Exposed hits when triggered or whatever other Hex you think is fun here if left uncleansed.
I know a lot of people like Plaything with Pentimento, but I like Devour Hope better in terms of a Hex effect and it’s also a lot more threatening if ignored than the Obliviousness from Plaything. Of course this build won’t get you literally 5 Pentimento totems, but that’s totally fine since all you really need is to get one or two of them and you’ve already gotten some decent value.
A variant you can do instead of Devour Hope is Retribution plus Haunted Grounds. This one is purely a trap build, if the survivors don’t touch the totems at all they won’t trigger anything bad. But if they do cleanse one then it’ll probably trigger Haunted Ground plus Retribution which is a dirty combo! 😄 You just have to hope at least one of the survivors sees a Hex and instinctively cleanses it without considering the repercussions.
I could also see Hex: Thrill of the Hunt in the fourth slot making it take even longer to actually cleanse the totems at all. God help a survivor who has Calm Spirit and Circle of Healing trying to set that up on a Hex totem when Thrill is in play!

Even if Killer able to destroy Boon by default, it would be not op in anymean. Survivor can just stop blessing if Killer has Penti

There was at least 1 circle in all of the many killer games I played yesterday
Guess people caught on that the nerfs still didn't change it being the best healing perk in the game

If you don't run into any boons while it's equiped doesn't it mean it's doing an amazing job?
Best antiboon perk ever is what i'm hearing

It is satisfying when survivors bring boons and you destroy it.
It should be basekit btw, without the aura reading. Then Shattered Hope effect would be not destroying the boon and give aura reading. Seems like a fair trade for Retribution, NOED and Undying players.

It should be basekit imo. Give the option to either instantly snuff or take ~5 seconds to break.

"Four survivors refuse to take the time to find the original Undying totem because they have to go through 2-5 totems"
Undying nerfed to effectively work as the bare minimum effect (two totems).
"One killer can't afford to keep going back to snuff the same totem infinitely"
Devs make a perk you have to equip to stop it, but all it does is stop that one spot, making killers have to take the time to find 5 boon spots to shut off the perk.
So... FOUR survivors can't be asked to deal with 2-5 totems, but the ONE killer has to sacrifice one of their 4 perk slots (versus the survivors' 16) to get the WORST POSSIBLE RESULT a survivor team could've gotten through bad luck.
Shattered Hope is a complete joke.

Literally the exact reason why I stopped running Deliverance months ago

That's honestly a very fair point now that I think about it.

It’s literally the only perk in the game that doesn’t do something unless the other side brought a very specific set of perks. That should’ve been the first red flag to the dev team. No idea how this idea made it through to live.
Edit: Distortion too, but aura reading perks for killers are a lot more common than boons.

This guy understands dbd

Especially now that Hex: Ruin is out of the equation and Hex totems in general are in probably the worst spot ever. With half the hex perks you cant even halfheartedly claim "well yeah, this perk is so good, its high risk, high reward by running it".
0 -
I would love to see Shattered Hope get buffed and you can at least kick dull totems to get the aura reading benefit. That way, it's not just a dead perk in most matches.
1 -
Yeah, thats like me running distortion. Every match i end without a stack being used, my aura wasnt seen by the killer. Distortion is a guarantee that wont happen but its not always the cause. Shattered Hope can be viewed similarly

Even when you destroy the totem, they just put the boon on another one. You're not gonna be snuffing 5 boons and still win.
0 -
So true . Which annoys me to my core.

Whenever I put up Devour Hope I throw in both Undying and Haunted Grounds. Quite often it's 'Aha I found the Devour... nope, it was Haunted Grounds' and then 'Finally found the Dev... what the? Haunted Grounds again!!!'. It's humorous, well, for me anyway. Probably not so much for the person who just triggered two Haunted Grounds thanks to Undying.

Haha so true!!

Coincidentally I actually played my Don’t Mess With Hexes build on Demo last night and it worked great, got a 4k with it and the team had a pretty good looper too. I used his Purple Addon that passively gives you pings when someone is near an activated portal and put them down near various hexes in addition to a few key generators. They destroyed three of the hexes in the course of the first half of the game but I replace them all with Pentimento relatively soon after they were destroyed and had its slowdown for at least half the match or more. (I didn’t spot them placing any Boons so no Shattered Hope value this time but I didn’t need it this match so that’s fine. 🙂)

Don't mess with Hexes builds are fun. When I feel like meming around with them I also like Thrill of the Hunt or Pentimento, Haunted Grounds, Undying and Retribution. If the survivors don't touch a Hex I'm essentially perkless but, if they do, I'm a complete pain.
1 -
For sure, it’s funny because all the survivors have to do is totally ignore hexes and that build is like having nothing at all, but that never happens in practice. 😄
