Buffing or Reworking Genuinely "Fun" Killer Perks

Most of this is opinion based on whats a "fun" killer perk however this is mostly just for enjoyment dont take anything to seriously. also i know none of these will ever see the light of day but i enjoy theorizing these things.


Forced penance-

Current: Survivors who take a Protection Hit suffer from the Broken Status Effect for the next 60/70/80 seconds.

"Reworked": -Survivors who take a Protection Hit suffer from the Broken Status Effect for the next 30/45/60 -Survivors who take a Protection Hit suffer from the Mangled and Haemorrhage Status Effects until healed.

Thoughts: This just makes it seem like a better but more situational sloppy butcher but i didnt want the healing to feel so unfair so i nerfed the broken affect by 20s.

Coup de Grace-

Current: Each time a Generator is completed, Coup de Grâce grows in power and gains 1 Token. Consume 1 Token to increase the distance of your next Lunge Attack by 70/75/80 %.

"Buffed": Each time a Survivor is hooked, Coup de Grâce grows in power and gains 1 Token. Consume 1 Token to increase the distance of your next Lunge Attack by 70/75/80 %.

Thoughts: Honestly wish this one would see into dbd just because only being able to use coup 5 times at most in one match is a huge disappointment just being able to use it more would make it a better perk and more fun one overall

Grim Embrace-

Current: Each time a Survivor is hooked for the first time, Grim Embrace gains a Token. Upon reaching 4 Tokens Grim Embrace activates The Entity blocks all Generators for 30/35/40 seconds. The Aura of the Obsession is revealed to you for 5 seconds.

"Reworked": Each time a Survivor is hooked for the first time Grim Embrace gains a Token. Upon reaching 4 Tokens Grim Embrace activates The Entity blocks all Generators for 20/25/30 seconds. The Aura of the Obsession is revealed to you for 5 seconds Grim Embrace loses 4 Tokens.

Thoughts: Might make this op but honestly the perk loses all value not even half way through the match still when it procs it feels really nice lowered the blocking time on all gens to compensate might need to lower it more though.

    Imo coup should be a gradually increasing lunge buff

    I’d love for grim embrace to last just a bit longer and show scream bubble for all survivors similar to rancor

    Wait, what did you buff on Grim embrace, didn't you just nerf the duration?

    Not a fan of the grim embrace "buff" its already one of the more annoying activations for a mediocore effect, making the effect weaker and it being possible to proc a second time however now with even more annoying activation just feels like a nerf. Its not exactly common for killers to get 8hooks on different survivors and most of the time when they do its very late in the game. Sure it might be clutch if its like 1 gen left but its more likely to happen at like 3 survivors left or endgame where its just useless, and unless the survivors are already being absolutely stomped the earliest it will proce is probably when the last gen is close to being done.

    You might want to reword your grim embrace change

    Survivors can only be hooked for the first time once. As writen you would never get tokens after the first activation
