    1. I agree. Invocation: TC is so useless and it won't even help you progress the game and it relies on luck significantly.
    2. The other Invocation. Same story, slightly better reward.
    3. Hardened
    4. Deadline
    5. Moment of Glory

    The only one I use a lot is Hardened. As an avid Calm spirit user, I swap it now now and then for variety. But eliminating screams affects a good deal of the killer cast and perks. I was astonished when I finally gave it some runs.

    The rest could easily disappear and I doubt many would even notice.

    Both Calm Spirit and Hardened have some large negatives attached to it.

    Calm Spirit should have the cleansing/blessing/opening penalty removed.

    And Hardened, well, I had an idea that repeating the process needed to activate it would make it so every time your aura would get revealed to the killer, it will instead only reveal your location. In short: aura → location reveal.

    Deadline is ok if your whole build is dedicated to it. Standalone it's pretty bad.

    I get Exultation and Invocation - Trasherous Crows.

    Hardened, Boon - Illumination, and Deadline aren't THAT bad though.

    I think Rookie Spirit, Boon - Dark Theory, and Moment of Glory are worse.

    Exultation is mediocre, but it has advantages over Built to Last. You can use it to recharge in chase, which happens naturally, whereas B2L requires you to take like 20 seconds finding and sitting in a locker. Also, you can use Exultation it to turn your brown toolboxes into better items. It's not great, but I think you're undervaluing it.

    I understand your point about Exultation. Yes, Build yo Last is much better if we are talking about recharging an item, but that's not the true purpose of Exultation. Changing item's rarity is.
    Recently I got a like on keys and realized that the Skeleton Key has a 30s use! Wow!
    So while we have no evts to farm BP and incentives are trash I've decided to take this time and upgrade as much of my keys as possible. With keys you have the purple add-on that you lose it instead of the key if you die holding it. Just pallet stun the killer two times (with a 30s time between the stuns) and you get a new Skeleton Key every match.

    What about when a killer has Franklin?
    Simple: you force the killer to down you with M2 and if it's a M1 killer I have Plot Twist.
