Down with the meta! What are your favourite thematic perks?

• borrowed time, I know it’s meta, but I always found the name funny. Like you’re asking to the entity an extra hit, and the entity borrows you the extra hit, but still you have heal from it.

Windows of Opportunity (It's good to know if someone dropped any pallets that you thought were there a second ago

Boiled Over (It gives me the illusion that I'm wiggle out faster)

No one left behind( Had a game where i unhooked someone so fast)

- Q&Q, one of the best perks to confuse the Killer in the game!

For survivors, I love all of Adam's perks.

For killers, Make Your Choice is semi-meta, depending on the killer, but such a cool idea. Dark Devotion is another perk I know isn't that good, but seems really cool. Maybe paired with Mint Rag...

Better Together, I just find it satisfying seeing everyone when a survivor is down.

Aftercare: After saving or healing every other survivor it's very satisfying seeing all the other survivors aruas.

Can't really use these perks at red ranks, especially aftercare because survivors sometimes deliberately run to you to lose the killer.

Survivor:

Technician: "I love that HALF of my failed skill checks (rare as they may be) don't alert the killer, and that they can't hear me working on a gen until they're 8m away from it."

Botany Knowledge: "33% Heal rate advantage? What's not to like?"

Spine Chill: "Hard counter perk to all Stealth killers and a decent perk against all others? Sign me up!"

Detective's Hunch: "SHOW ME DEM TOTEMS!"

Stake Out: "Technician 2.0, but with a bigger advantage."

Diversion: "Someone's over there Mr. Killer"

Deja Vu: "We're 3 genning ourselves? I gonna stop that crap right now!"

Calm Spirit: "F@$k you Doc, and Spies from the Shadows!"

Killer:

Bloodhound: "You think you can Urban around that corner and lose me? Lol!"

Surge: "You mean I DON'T have to kick every gen around me myself AND I do actual damage to them before they start regressing? Me Likey!" (Big hint to Plague players out there)

Cruel Limits: "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!" - Oni

I'm All Ears: "oh, so you went the OTHER way on that loop, well played... but guess what?"

Hex: Devour Hope: "I've hit 3 tokens... EVERYBODY DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND TRY TO FIND MY TOTEM BEFORE I CAN INSTANTLY END THIS GAME!" (a Special Thank you to the Springwood Reworks)

Spies from the Shadows: BIRDS! "Yeah yeah I know I jus-" BIRDS! "Hang on a second I'll get em, just let m-" BIRDS! "FOR ######### SAKE! You sneaky little bastard, I'm gonna get you as soon as I fin-" BIRDS! "HA!, I have you now you little piece o-" BIRDS! "GAWD you're annoying! But, surprisingly helpf-" BIRDS!... sigh.

Mad Grit: "REAP THE WHIRLWIND!"

Bamboozle: "... a GOD LOOP you say?"

Bitter Murmur: (Terminator voice) "Your Clauds, Give them to me."

Devour Hope for me. It’s always sad when it gets cleansed before 3 tokens, but the visible panic when I do start oneshotting people is wonderful. No other perk in the game can completely change the way people are playing in a single moment the way Devour can, except maybe NOED, but NOED is purely for the end of the game and I’ve never been as fond of it because of that.

Mounstrous shrine

I love alert and the new kindred is a godsent

On killer agitation is great, especially when you get that hit against a survivor that didn't expect you to go that fast when trying to bodyblock

And something about bloodhound just feels good too

HEX: The Third Seal.

I like the idea of blinding survivors. Makes solo survivors need to remember where people were hooked, or wonder if anyone is coming for them at all. For SWFs, I like it when people yell at each other, "I'm here! Where are you going?! How can't you see me?!?".

Not always effective, but gives a different dimension to the game.

I use Saviours Gambit in most of my builds these days.

???

Make your choice you mean right?

Head On isn't meta :)

Here is meta

NO MITHER

SECOND WIND

SELF CARE

SOLIDARITY

WHATS THE KILLER GONNA DO HUH? KILL YOU?

I've actually got two thematic builds for killers

For Demogorgon run Stridor, Bloodhound, Enduring and either Lightborn or Brutal Strength. Thanks again to @Plu for that build.

For my next one, it's "discount Jason"

For Trapper run Brutal Strength, Spirit Fury, Enduring and a perk of your choosing.

I love running Head On and Q&Q together. It's so fun to jump into a locker and stun the killer making them fear every locker lol

Other combos/non-meta perks I like to use are:

• Dark sense and Poised
• Better Together and Prove thyself
• Fixated
• Inner Strength
• Kindred

You filthy genriusher you! Like that combo too as solo.

Kindred + Open Handed is brilliant. Tell others in chat they should bring in their favourite arua perk if they want to make use of Open Handed.

And I had quite a bit fun recently with Breakout and MoM, combined with a Styptic medkit.

And I like to run botany knowledge, to make even yellow medkits with brown and yellow speed addons brutally effective
