Wow! Incredibly useful to see the perks that are on the shrine from this week, and not the one from weeks ago! Thankyou so much Hot Single Dad you're a life saver!
To be more exact. Alien instinct is a licenced perk but there are far better perks that do the same job but better -itd be best if you waited for bbq and chilli to come out, but if you want to pay for urgency that's okay Head on is not worth 2000 shards as Jane ramao is an aesthetically pleasing character with fair skins and more importantly she has 2 other great perks. - save an extra 2500 Crowd control is the same as head on, its an okay perk but less useful than head on. Trickster is a 4500 iri shards killer who has one of the best perks (no way out) and then starstruck which is powerful in speed killers and for specific niche builds - save 2500 and buy trickster instead Illumination is just a meh perk, it isn't the worst due to its ability to help your soloQ teammates do a gen, also reveals chests and let's you cleanse/bless a bit faster. - still a boon, not great, do not buy. Overall, only one licenced perk is worth considering to buy but there are better. And the rest you are paying 500 iri shards more for perks that are better off bought in their respective bundle (character)
On the whole I agree with what you're saying. However the shrine lets you have those perks on all your killers/survs. It saves 1,000,000 bloodpoints prestiging the character. I think a lot of people see buying a new character as quite a big commitment, but for some reason the perks are seen as less of one. I saw on reddit years ago someone did the maths on this so it may have changed. But to get 2000 shards it's roughly 47 games. So saying "just buy the character" is effectively saying double your games to get the character instead. The shrine lets you unlock perks to save you buying a whole character or pumping your bloodpoints into someone you don't want to play but just want their perks. Whether you feel like a perk is worth it ultimately is down to how you play the game. Head on is a great example of a perk that many would find really fun but it's clearly no effective to win games unless you want the killer to rage quit 😂
@hotsingledad360 but at the same time its only said to NOT buy the perks as the characters had 3 good perks. In a future thinking mindset Your probably paying 1500 extra iri shards to get perks that will have to be leveled up anyway, and prestiging gets you all 3 perks so effectively it's 2/3 quicker overall than buying all 3 perks at yellow rarity from the shrine. Some characters have only 1 good perk and in that case (if you know you're never going to want the character or their other 2 perks) buy the perk. But if that's not the case, you're saving time and money buy saving up for the character instead. And also upgrading rarity using shards exponentially increases whereas upgrading with bp is linear. The 2 characters that are free to buy have great enough perks that I'd advise you buy them instead of that 1 perk
It’s so funny to me how they indirectly nerfed the already bad Shrine by reducing the Iri shard prices of characters, it was already pretty bad for original characters, but now it’s just a straight downgrade for most of them

OMG that icon for Head On is not flattering for poor Jane

Yeah I think they really need to make the perks in the shrine a LOT cheaper!
