An introduction of MFT-----what makes it so powerful?

Preface

I write this post because I have seen a lot of people who don't really know how strong the perk is, and even call it a not a big deal perk,But personally, I think this perk is totally broken, maybe the one of strongest perks in dead by daylight history.

So I write this post as a tutorial(?) to help those who still have not got it why the perk is so strong to know why is it so strong , and to do that , I will start with some common misunderstanding/question of the perk.

Hope this post could help you know more about MFT.

Why is the perk so strong? doesn't the perk only make you like....3% faster?

Yes it is!

But do you really know how strong the 3% is?

IT MAKE YOU GOT EXTRA 25% DISTANCE IN CHASING

What?How? doesn't the word before the % is 3?

Yeah but keep in mind that, the difference between the killer and survivor's speed is only 15%.

So if the killer chasing you, normally it will cost the killer (X/(0.15*4))sec to catch up (X is the distance between you and the killer when chasing starts).

But with MFT it will cost the killer (X/((0.15-0.03)*4)) to catch up, in other words, it will cost you an extra 25% to catch up.

Are you sure? The math is too hard. I can't really see it.

YES, for example if the distance between you and the killer was 24m,

normally it will cost the killer 40 sec to catch you up,

but with MFT it will cost the killer 50 sec to catch up, which is 25% longer.

But if I using MFT I can’t use other Exhaustion perk(SB especially)

You actually can, just not with SB.

And MFT is way way stronger than SB anyway.

HOW? How could MFT be stronger than SB? The number of SBs is bigger.

Because SB only gives you a short boost ,on the other hand MFT will always be active.

If the distance between you and the killer is longer than 24M then the MFT is stronger than SB.

And guess what? Being hit already gives you 16M,and breaking a pallet gives you more than 9M ,in other words,being hit->Shift W -> Pre-drop a pallet,then MTF already stronger than SB.

But the killer has a built-in speed boost called bloodlust either.

Yes Bloodlust exists, but it will be reset every time a killer hits or breaks a pallet, in other words, it doesn't really do much like MFT do if the killer has to kick the pallet.

I don’t get it, if 3% really that strong, why the perks before MFT that giving you more % of speed boost is not that strong?

It is because those perks all  had some limit or downside to it.

Boon: Dark Theory: not only it only gives you 2%, the limit that it only affects in the totem area makes it can’t be used on Shift + W.

Blood Pact、Teamwork: Power of Two: these two have a similar set up and limit, they both need 2 players stick with together, this will cause two impact

1. the damage hit to killer / sec is lower : Because killer is chasing 2 people in the same time, so there will be one less survivor working on the gen ,for example if the chasing take from 1 minute to 1 minute and 30 sec by the perk (50% longer),and four of survivor are all alive, the damage  hit to killer was 60sec *3 people doing gen = 180 gen time and become 90 sec*2 people doing gen = 180 gen time, you see? Even if the chasing time becomes 1.5 times longer, the damage to the killer is the same, and with less and less survivors alive, the damage/sec will become even lower.
2. Can’t really looping or SHIFT W+PRE-DORP cycle: Because killer is chasing 2 people in the same time,survivor can’t really looping the loop, they will sandbag each other (and can only one player vault in one time),and because of that killer would not being force to kick the pallet which make the survivor can’t do the Shift W + Pre -drop cycle either.

So yes, the speed boost is strong, but if you can’t use it to loop or shift W + pre drop, then it might not be game breaking strong.

Ok…I see…MFT is strong, I think I might use it now, but extra 25% distance should not be game breaking right? I mean it is strong that it makes the looping time become 25% longer but it is like doing gen 25% faster (ok,25 % faster may be a little too much) it…. it… it would not be too OP right?

Actually….It would be too OP, and that is how we abuse it.

What does 25% more distance mean in a chase?

It means that every pallet and windows are all 25% closer, but better, because your reaction time and the time you damage the killer won’t be 25% shorter.

So, even if the survivor can’t loop, just do the shift W and pre-drop pallet cycle, the killer will never catch you, because it will take killer more than 18.75(was 15) sec to catch you after breaking a pallet and with that time you can run 77.25 (was 63) m ,you must can reach to another pallet and pre-drop it again, it basically break the M1 mechanic.

Ok, so tell me again how could we abuse it?

Very simple, if you are a survivor who don’t know how to loops at all, then just Shift+W and pre-drop the pallet with MFT, in this way you are basically can’t be down by M1,those killer who can’t anti-Shift W would have nothing can do to you, yeah just by one perk.
