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 heal outcomes this patch cycle.
- Heal with purpose after high-value state changes, not every hit.
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.
- Over-healing in losing objective states.
Loadout Construction Rules
- Slot 1: lock a primary win-condition signal (Heal).
- Slot 2: add a second primary signal (Injured) so value windows overlap.
- Slot 3: use a consistency bridge (Team) for unstable mid-game states.
- Slot 4: flex into matchup insurance (Unhook) for close matches.
- Swap one perk at a time and track whether first-hook and endgame outcomes improve.
Quick Wins For This Query
- Heal with purpose after high-value state changes, not every hit.
- Pair healing with anti-tunnel or info so resets are actually safe.
- Use one slot to shorten vulnerable post-chase downtime.
Biggest Throws To Avoid
- Over-healing in losing objective states.
- Stacking too many heal perks and dropping chase consistency.
- Resetting in predictable lanes where killer re-enters quickly.

Matches: Heal, Injured, Team, Endurance
Matches: Heal, Injured, Team, Unhook
Matches: Heal, Injured, Team, Solo
Extended Picks
#1
Healing and unhooking actions become faster for each injured, dying, or hooked Survivor.
#2
While injured, finishing a heal on another Survivor grants Endurance, and while Deep Wounded running gives a small Haste bonus.
#3
While injured, interaction speeds like cleansing, healing, repairing, vaulting, opening, sabotaging, searching chests, and unhooking are faster.
#4
After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius heal others faster without Med-Kits and can see the auras of injured teammates.
#5
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.
#6
Perform a long basement invocation that others can help speed up; completion permanently reduces generator repair requirements but leaves you injured and Broken for the rest of the trial and disables other copies of this invocation.
#7
While injured, hides scratch marks and blood for a limited time that can recharge while healing others; ends when the timer is spent or you leave injured state.
#8
Nearby Survivors, including you, recover from negative status effects faster such as Exhausted, Broken, Hindered, or Blindness even after leaving the area briefly.
#9
After being unhooked, allows a brief Endurance while running and injured; cannot be used while Exhausted and causes Exhausted after use.
#10
After taking three Protection Hits, the next hit in injured state is negated; once healed, your aura is revealed to the Killer at range, and the perk ends after you are downed.
#11
After being unhooked, temporarily blocks your aura, hides grunts and scratch marks, and grants Endurance until disabled by endgame or a conspicuous action.
#12
Healing dying Survivors is much faster, and those you pick up gain brief Endurance with a short cooldown.

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 heal window.
- Ignoring your worst phase and over-optimizing for injured 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.
- Over-healing in losing objective states.
- Stacking too many heal perks and dropping chase consistency.

FAQ
How often is this survivor list updated?
Checked against current perk pool (Last verified 2026-02-27).
What if I do not own these perks?
Use the perk replacement guide to preserve the same job while lowering ownership requirements.
How should I choose between these options?
Start with the top 4 core picks, then swap one slot at a time based on your queue type and match problems.
Are these pages generated from real perk data?
Yes. Rankings are computed from role-aligned perk metadata and then ordered by signal overlap for this specific query intent.
Should I run all four core perks together?
Not always. Treat the core 4 as a high-confidence pool, then combine them with one consistency slot and one matchup fallback slot.
When is healing actually high-value?
After state-defining events where a fast reset protects hook tempo or objective continuity.
Should heal-focused builds always bring med-kits?
Often helpful, but perk and item overlap should still leave room for macro consistency slots.
