The core filter emphasizes Bless, Totem, Team so you can build around clear match jobs instead of random perk stacking. Boon intent focuses on zone value and repeatable team utility, not random relights with no map purpose.

Update Notes
Checked against current perk pool (Last verified 2026-02-27).
Who This Is For
- Players who need reliable value in solo queue and duo/SWF lobbies.
- Survivors who lose tempo after first chase and need cleaner role-based loadouts.
- Anyone specifically solving for bless outcomes this patch cycle.
- Place boons in lanes your team actually revisits, not dead corners.
When To Skip
- Skip this setup if your team is already over-stacking the same survivor job.
- Do not force these picks if your biggest issue is route discipline rather than perk value.
- Adjust for your comfort pool when one high-ranked perk has inconsistent uptime for you.
- Re-blessing on autopilot while gens or hooks are collapsing.
Loadout Construction Rules
- Slot 1: lock a primary win-condition signal (Bless).
- Slot 2: add a second primary signal (Totem) so value windows overlap.
- Slot 3: use a consistency bridge (Aura) for unstable mid-game states.
- Slot 4: flex into matchup insurance (Stealth) for close matches.
- Swap one perk at a time and track whether first-hook and endgame outcomes improve.
Quick Wins For This Query
- Place boons in lanes your team actually revisits, not dead corners.
- Choose boon value based on your squad’s weakest phase: chase, reset, or information.
- Re-light only when the value window is still relevant to current map state.
Biggest Throws To Avoid
- Re-blessing on autopilot while gens or hooks are collapsing.
- Forcing boon routes that expose teammates to free hits.
- Running full boon package without team pathing discipline.

Extended Picks
#1
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius heal others faster without Med-Kits and can see the auras of injured teammates.
#2
While injured, interaction speeds like cleansing, healing, repairing, vaulting, opening, sabotaging, searching chests, and unhooking are faster.
#3
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius leave no scratch marks and have their auras hidden from the Killer, with both effects briefly lingering after they leave the boon area.
#4
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius see the auras of all chests and generators, and you bless and cleanse totems slightly faster while your boon is active.
#5
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius gain a small haste effect that briefly lingers after they leave the boon area.
#6
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius recover from the Dying State much faster and gain the ability to fully pick themselves up.
#7
Cleansing or blessing a totem grants increased repair speed until you lose a health state.
#8
Completing a healing action on another Survivor temporarily boosts their speeds for blessing, cleansing, healing, and unlocking until they are damaged again.
#9
While healing yourself or another Survivor, healing noises and grunts of pain are suppressed, and failed healing Skill Checks are quieter and have a reduced penalty.
#10
Healing and unhooking actions become faster for each injured, dying, or hooked Survivor.
#11
After crouching to activate, you reveal nearby auras—including Survivors, the Killer, and key objects—while gaining Elusive and Oblivious before the effect ends and goes on cooldown.
#12
Perform a long basement invocation that others can help speed up; once completed, crow scares in the Killer's terror radius reveal their aura to all Survivors while you remain injured and Broken for the rest of the trial.

Match Plan By Phase
Early
- Use your first primary signal to stabilize opening routes and avoid free downs.
- Convert information quickly into either generator uptime or safe rotation.
Mid
- Anchor decisions around hook-cycle tempo and keep one fallback trigger available.
- Trade only when your perk windows protect the transition afterwards.
Late
- Shift one slot to endgame value if gates or hatch become the win condition.
- Protect team spacing so one mistake does not erase your objective lead.
Common Mistakes
- Stacking multiple perks that only trigger on the same bless window.
- Ignoring your worst phase and over-optimizing for totem highlights.
- Running four reactive perks and then losing objective pace after one bad chase.
- Copy-pasting top lists without checking whether the perk trigger actually matches your decision patterns.
- Re-blessing on autopilot while gens or hooks are collapsing.
- Forcing boon routes that expose teammates to free hits.
