Actual fun perks on killer/surv

What perks do killers have that would make survivors go "oh #########, they have that"? The only perks that I can think off is probably haunted grounds and maybe spirit fury. Noed is also a surprise perk but it's a bit too tryhard.

For survivors on the other hand, the new bardic inspiration perk is actually really fun to run on both sides. Managed to juke the wesker dash to make him vault the window? Play the guitar > killer looks at you > both of you stop and nod. Not too sure what other survivor perks there are that does this tho

    I like trying to play fetch with a Demodog or a Xenokitty when I've got Diversion equipped (without much success, I must add. These guys seem to enjoy it about as much as most Pigs like to be booped. In other words, not much!)

    Plot Twist is also fun if just before you're about to hit the dirt, you down yourself instead and make the killer whiff.

    I think any perk that makes non stealth Killers undetectable can be fun. Especially ones that can make you jump, like a Billy coming at you from out of nowhere at top speed. I also like seeing Killers that run silly perks like Hex: Two Can Play.

    Hex: Two Can Play, Huntress Lullaby and Fire Up. They are all bad, which is why nobody expects them but they can all do something of value, if you get lucky.

    Insidious is wonderful to give jump-scares.

    Just wait in a corner next to a gen and see them panic when they run into you.

    Currently running Plot Twist, Pebble, Bardic inspiration and Head on. I'm an unstoppable force and haven't died yet.

    Dramaturgy makes gameplay fun, for sure. And if you get any value out of it, Power Struggle is an instant hit of dopamine.

    I run HG exclusively on Trapper and trap it every single time so it looks important to me, with an Undying back, also trapped. I also still love Devour, even if it's kind of mean. When I get that stack and down a healthy surv, you know they're like "Oh god damn it".

    As a surv, I always assume NOED is in play. It's more of a surprise when it's not.

    Autodidact for me. It’s soo funny when I’m healing someone and my first stack triggers. I wonder what the other player is feeling when they see a huge chunk of their healing regress with no noise notification 😂 It literally makes me laugh every time lol

    Red Herring and Diversion

    Force the killer to come to the gen they just kick

    I like Dark Devotion and Unforeseen, they can cause lots of silly confusion with the undetectable and fake terror radius. And Hex: Two Can Play is the most deliberate meme perk on the killer side.

    Currently doing Plaything, Third Seal, Insidious, and Unforeseen on Unknown. I just want spoopy moments when I'm on indoor maps

    For survivor right now I'm running meme perks: Diversion (pebble), Bardic Inspiration, Plot Twist, and a variable fourth perk (currently it's Plunderer's, but it could change to something like Invocation: WS or Red Herring).

    Hex: Two Can Play is a funny perk to see on killer. I once watched a Myers use that to get a Tombstone kill: it was against a Felix who kept hiding in a locker but decided to come out to blind him a couple times. Second time, Mikey just stepped forward and boom, game over. I was impressed.

    Wake TF up Samurai, weve got memebuilds to burn!;

    For survivors:

    Blast Mine
    Mirror Image
    Wire Tap
    Red Herring; for those front row seats, trick the killer into getting +5 metal and an explosion to the face!

    Invocation: Weaving Spiders
    Scene Partner
    Plot Twist
    Bardic Inspiration; you can give your unhooker some extra altruism by plot twisting, if there is time ofcourse

    For killers:
    Furtive Chase and Friends till the End can be an interesting combo, myself paired it with Hex: Plaything and Nowhere to Hide but anything goes, only chase and hook the obsession!

    Zanshin Tactics
    Brutal Strength
    Enduring
    Spirit Fury; pallet eating build, i sometimes do this with Drone Lady and let em drop pallets for sh*ts and giggles

    Iron Grasp
    Mad Grit
    Agitation
    Star Struck or any other 4th perk, good ol' survivor backpack build

    It's all fun and games until Machine Learning triggers.

    One of my favorite memories was chasing a survivor near a 95d gen as double iri Myers and I just maintained eye contact with the girl finishing the gen while still chasing the 1st, she even stopped thinking I was gonna grab her off....no sweetie you just activated my trap card

    Girl #1 greeded a pallet and immediately got bulldozed by a Mach 3 Tombstone I can only imagine what she was thinking

    Hyperfocus + stake out + fogwise for survivor

    Save the best for last + rapid brutality on M1 killer

    As a survivor main, it's always Caulrophobia. I can't hit those skill checks to save my life.

    I really like the combination of Hubris and Enduring on killers like Spirit or Dredge, especially in the event mode with the event pallets. It's really funny to surprise survivors with this combination. Starstruck and Awakening Awareness is also a funny combination.

    Year, I don't like NOED because the surprise of this perk has a bad taste. It's not so funny like other instadown perks.

    I've been running this on Unknown with the addon to reduce the aura visibility range of his clones, and it is SO funny to stand out in the open and have survivors willingly run to you thinking they're disabling a clone.

    Beasts of prey. Sometimes I forget that perk exists and a killer will get bloodlust and vanish and I'll turn around and…

    There he is.
