Phase Plan Focus

  • Early plan: Use your consistency signal first to avoid early tempo collapse.
  • Mid plan: Anchor around hook-cycle discipline and maintain fallback availability.
  • Late plan: Shift to endgame leverage if gates/hatch become your win line.

Pool And Adjustments

Quick Wins

  • Use one perk for route visibility and one for transition speed.
  • Plan the second tile before committing to greed on the first.
  • Spend resources where they extend chain value, not where they stall.

Common Throws

  • Burning strongest structures in low-threat moments.
  • Forcing one more loop with no exit route.
  • Ignoring objective handoff after long chase value.

Core 4 Perks

Extended Picks

  • #1

    Rushed vaults and locker entries or exits are silent and do not trigger loud noise notifications, then the perk goes on cooldown.

  • #2

    After a rushed vault or locker exit, briefly hides your scratch marks before going on cooldown.

  • #3

    After a rushed vault, gain a brief Haste effect and become Exhausted; cannot use while Exhausted.

  • #4

    After stunning the Killer with a pallet, gain a brief sprint but become Exhausted and cannot use it while Exhausted.

  • #5

    While injured, interaction speeds like cleansing, healing, repairing, vaulting, opening, sabotaging, searching chests, and unhooking are faster.

  • #6

    Highlights the auras of pallets, breakable walls, and vaults within range for easier navigation.

  • #7

    After falling from a height, you land more quietly, recover from the stagger faster, and gain a brief burst of speed before becoming Exhausted.

  • #8

    While healing a dying Survivor, you both see the Killer’s aura, and once they are picked up, they briefly leave no scratch marks and gain a burst of speed without becoming Exhausted.

  • #9

    When the Exit Gates are powered, instantly heal to the next Health State and gain a brief burst of increased movement speed. Afterwards, you become Exhausted for a duration.

  • #10

    After you unhook another Survivor, the Killer’s aura is revealed to you briefly, while the unhooked Survivor leaves no scratch marks or pools of blood and gains a short burst of speed.

  • #11

    When the Killer picks up another dying Survivor, you can trigger a short, intense sprint before becoming Exhausted.

  • #12

    After repairing generators enough, you can trap a window; when the Killer vaults it, they become Hindered for a short duration, and the trapped window’s aura is revealed to all Survivors until the trap triggers or expires.
