New Killer Perk - Third Strike

With Third Strike you gain a token for each successful hit on a HEALTHY survivor, every third token earned becomes an exposed strike. Every time a killer kicks a generator ( successfully regressing it ) the killer loses one token. Once the killer has dealt the exposed strike, the token count refreshes.

    I really like the idea of this perk. No tweaks needed imo.

    Seems a bit OP. Might have to be a hex

    I love that any somewhat decent killer perk HAS to be a hex. The amount of threads I've seen saying "Plz make BBQ and Chili a hex" or "MYC Is too OP... Make it a hex"

    Do you use the exposed strike if you hit an injured survivor?

    Not a hex perk, if it’s a hex it’s gonna need a buff, bc hex perks should be obviously op not maybe op

    So just so we're clear here, hit three healthy survivors, get an instant down, then reset to 0 tokens?

    I can dig it. It's good, but not overpowered. Let's be real here, if you just hit a healthy survivor to get that third token, they're going to be injured anyway which sorta' makes it redundant. Still might be useful for applying pressure to that survivor and then going off to instantly down another, or to punish survivors for grouping up and trying to take hits.

    As long as it shows the exposed status for everyone, I'd be okay with it.

    You’re absolutely right, the perk is designed to apply pressure to survivors, so yes if you don’t want to waste the exposed strike, you go after another survivor, also the perk let’s the survivors know they’re exposed. The perk also lights up red when your exposed strike is ready! Anymore ideas lmk

    After reading what the mod said, i see why it would be balanced, and it made me think there is no need to make the killer lose tokens for kicking generators. It seems unrelated to the perk and isn't necessary. Other than that the actual idea is amazing and well thought out man, it would really work in the game. One more thing though, how would it change as it levels up? Perhaps since the perk is slightly weak currently as you could just hit the already injured survivor, make it so at 3 tokens you have a 3%/6%/9% speed boost or something like that.

    I like the speed boost idea, and losing tokens for kicking gens is simply for balance, it’s a perk that gives the killer a choice. You can either stop gens and never get that exposed strike, or go full on “target acquired” mode. Also leaving survivors in the injured state, in order to make use of your exposed strike, applies enough pressure to the survivors. We’ll never really know until it’s tested in-game.

    I like it. It should be considered. It's strong but not stupid powerful. Great idea

    I main both killer and survivor and normally never say that. This just seems a bit OP to one hit down after three stacks with the amount of times you hit a survivor in a round

    The survivor has to be healthy, so that’s 3 fresh hits, then onto the next survivor. Also you cannot stop gens without losing tokens so I think it’s pretty balanced tbh.

    Ruin kind of lessens the need to kick gens anyway, and I see where this perk can actually be stupidly amazing on something like wraith who can easily find people. Since it does build up through natural gameplay and hitting anyone healthy who body blocks I do see this as a slightly less powerful devour hope but in certain conditions be more powerful than devour hope. Removing the gen removing the token affect would be alright. It's not so practical to be a third strike on a fresh survivor though.

    Not taking away tokens for kicking gens would kind of be op, the perk certainly is counterable and makes the killer play different

    Since you lose it upon third strike it isnt op. If it is held on then it would be op. With ruin in game, theres no incentive to kick gens while you have ruin anyway. The mechanic is you're already in a chase with an injured survivor when you have the third strike, so that means you have to lose time to hit someone healthy so survivors have time to recouperate. This perk doesn't seem op since it is at an awkward third hit. And they have to hit a healthy survivor to get a token.
