Phase Plan Focus

  • Mid plan: Anchor around hook-cycle discipline and maintain fallback availability.
  • Late plan: Shift to endgame leverage if gates/hatch become your win line.

  • Use one hook-cycle stabilization perk as insurance.

Core 4 Perks

Extended Picks

  • #1

    When the Killer reads your aura, you see theirs and gain small action speed bonuses; if you are the Obsession, your aura periodically reveals to the Killer.

  • #2

    After being unhooked, temporarily blocks your aura, hides grunts and scratch marks, and grants Endurance until disabled by endgame or a conspicuous action.

  • #3

    Reveals the three generators closest together and slightly speeds repairing them.

  • #4

    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.

  • #5

    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.

  • #6

    While injured, finishing a heal on another Survivor grants Endurance, and while Deep Wounded running gives a small Haste bonus.

  • #7

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

  • #8

    After healing or recovering from Dying, grants brief Endurance on a cooldown; when Cursed, allows full self-recovery from the Dying State.

  • #9

    When the Killer looks at you within range, warns via the perk icon and slightly speeds many interactions, lingering briefly after they look away.

  • #10

    While you repair a generator, its aura is revealed to all Survivors, and if the Killer downs someone during this time, all Survivor auras are temporarily revealed to you.

  • #11

    After repairing generators enough, you can trap a generator so that when the Killer tries to damage it, they are briefly stunned and nearby players are blinded, with the trapped generator’s aura visible to all Survivors until the trap is used or expires.

  • #12

    After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius heal others faster without Med-Kits and can see the auras of injured teammates.
