I have kindred and I RECOMMEND IT! this is such an amazing perk and it also shows the aura of the survivors so you know if they are going to save the person or not. This perk has saved me a bunch of times when the killer was coming near me, or chasing my teammates so i know where to help them at. ❤❤
i think de ja vu is such a underrated perk since it counters trigens completely and you can easily find gens in maps such as lery's where gens are impossible to find
@@RafaelLinoDGme and my friends use it for information, definitely not because we're scared and we only have about 1 person in the party use it at a time
When I run Kindred in solo queue I almost always pair it with Open-Handed so my solo queue team gets a bigger radius for reading the killer's aura. I like running those with Desperate Measures (maybe After Care instead sometimes) and Leader.
Kindred also has it that when you're the one on hook, all teammates can see each other's auras, probably the #1 Best solo q perk in the game alongside windows of opportunity(running them together with bond and open handed is a very good build as well)
@@middox239 I agree. It also would be a basekit buff for soloQ that wouldn't buff SWFs, since they already know what others do through comms. And then have Kindred be like new BT, so that the perk f. E. extends the radius around the hook in which the killers aura is shown, like make 16-20m basekit and then add between 5 and 10m through Kindred itself and give it another small action to make the perk more useful.
For a solo que I'd change Hope with a Bond. Is a must. You can tell where the killer is based on teammates actions, you can tell what your teammates are doing, you can see if the killer pushed someone from the gen, and based of the progress showing on the teammates icons you can tell if there is a chance that a killer kicked it and you need to stop the regression, if someone is going to save or you need to do it, etc.
The distortion one aged well with the new PTB changes... I anticipate Distortion will absolutely crash in terms of pickrate now that you're limited to 1 very unstable token
I won my second match as a Killer with The Doctor. It felt so satisfying. There were two survivors that gave me a run for my money. They juked me out SO many damn times, so, I had to bait them. Ended up working out. Love this game
Aftercare is such an underrated perk .. by mid game you’ve got everyone’s aura and they have yours! I run distortion aftercare off the record and usually something like prove thyself because once they can see your aura they can see you working on gens and come over .. if I am being brave I will run spiders, no mither, aftercare and distortion.. I’ve had quite a few escapes with that load out
i run resurgence, balanced landing, we’ll make it and urban evasion. it may not be the most overpowered thing, but i’m not great at looping so i’m great support and when i’m hooked im pretty much back to full health getting healed quickly
few things to notice so you do'nt waste your time if the counterpart does not fits you : -Finesse only works on fast vault, not medium vault (if you don't take a vault in the right angle it's not a fast and the animation and speed is not the same) and works only if you're not injured -Iron will only works when you're not exhausted so you cannot bait injured after a run when you're out of ressources in exhaustion, -Distorsion will be completely destroyed in less than 1 patch
Distortion used to be so slept on, finally was nerfed it was so amazing for the longest time (patch 6.1 to 8.3). It’s still good but man it used to be so much better.
I also think Empathetic Connection is underrated, especially in SoloQ situations. Someone will always be able to find you so you can either heal them or you can both heal up.
Funny enough i find Bond more helpful for the soloq healing experience. Ive run empathic a lot and no one ever comes to me. Losing out on the 30% heal speed is a bummer but bond lets me go to others which is more consistent for me to get/give heals to ppl.
@@daldorian I totally agree with you. Bond is better than EC. Because sometimes when other survivors know where you are they can also use this situation to drag to killer on you which is annoying.
Brain, please do a video on Aftercare. I honestly believe it’s the best solo q perk in the entire game and allows you and your team to make plays and decisions otherwise only possible on comms. Please try it out, it’s so underrated
Nope, it makes it so your teammates can work with the killer on getting you hooked. It happened multiple times in my games, which is why I no longer run it
If you're still chasing a survivor long enough for Fineness to proc more than once you aren't playing killer correctly lol (still a decent perk though on one proc)
i always go with Open-handed + Kindred. giving that Massive aura read to the other surv's. im usually solo so i do the best i can help. but i am a killer main XD Legion/Sadako/Knight.
Kindred isn't sleeper for me because I've always loved using it in solo queue. Honestly, distortion is also one of my favorites. There's enough aura reading that it comes in handy. Windows (Kate's perk) is great for beginners and can be paired up with Finesse. Distortion was also a life saver when Chucky released. People in my elo loved his perk that switched Obsession after hooking one. Saved me and my teams' buns multiple times.
I run kindred with openhanded since the big blob blocks nearly all of it unless the teammates are above/below the ground level of the hook. Its also great for seeing where the killer is headed to and is useful if they are being chased within its extended range (had a teammate loop a killer around shack while i was decently far away with it).
Kindred is amazing for solo q, but no one says to pair it with open handed. it helps a lot with bigger maps that dont have much verticality. on maps like gideon or lerys, you might as well have UAV on 1/4 of the map when anyones on hook. and it benefits all other distance based aura reading perks for your team as well.
Kindred is my favourite perk My favourite perk for killer is one of the twins perks that give you an 80% increase of lunge attack. when a gen is completedyou get a 2 tokens on max level with a max stack of 4 or 5 tokens. Makes a sweaty Myers buld
My favorite survivor perks right now are lithe, windows of opportunity, deja vu and resurgence. I wouldnt say that these are the best perks but they cover gen progression, looping potential and healing which makes the game much more comfortable to play.
i played for a little bit using a pretty solid bill build since i am free to play but my god is the game killer sided these days i don’t think dbd has ever found that happy medium the early days the game was heavily survivor sided and now it’s heavily killer sided also the matchmaking is still bad especially when trying to find a game as a killer even though when i did play survivor i would consistently get matches in either a minute or less
Distortion is receiving a change next patch (mid chapter). It's not possible they are gonna buff this shit even more (but it's BHVR. I could be wrong).
As a Jake main I can confirm that iron will is very fucking useful especially since I am very reliant on hiding and stealth. Being able to juke out a killer and hide behind a rock is great
The only reason I used to like bringing Distortion is so I could deny killers any satisfaction from their aura builds. But then your team gets tunneled. Better to bring Object.
I played with Windows for 900 hours, and then realized during Lights Out and Chaos Shuffle that I no longer needed it, and it was just a wasted perk slot. I took it off and haven't used it since. It's great for new players, but it drops off hard as you learn the game.
@@AmyLovesYouI would agree. But in SoloQ it’s helpful so you know which pallets the other survivors have already used. Or if you want to keep the same info of which pallets have been used already, and you already know all the structures of the maps… use alert. Basically an upgraded windows. If you memorize what locations the killer broke pallets at you know where not to loop and also you can basically keep tabs on the killers location for most of the game AND in chase every pallet you drop. Helps with really high level killers as well since mind games are a ton easier.
@@paulodelima5705 Niche? Ur literally calling changing perks of niche, shows me ur mmr is on the lower ends, off the record is like 3 perks in 1 calling it niche is crazy
Deliverance only works if you do the unhook, not a teammate or getting hooked first, and only really helps if your teammates know you have it so they dont have to waste time rescuing. Both of these criteria make it terrible for solo queue.
Distrotion is maybe good sneaky perk, BUT it kinda forces killer to tunnel survs without it, if they have aura reading perk. In higher hours lobbies, killers wont just ignore some surv IF they cant find others.. so if you want to be a rat and play on yourself yea its kinda good xd
I would say its rlly good only if everyone have distortion OR only one, and percentage for having only one, or full team with that perk is kinda low xd
Lightweight is lowkey OP as hell, (Your scratch marks disappear 5 seconds faster, which is FAST), such a major noticable difference with and without it when it comes to escaping chases due to scratch marks disappearing fast.
It's good for when your team needs time being wasted but it can also indirectly hurt your team if the chases are too short causing your teammates to get hit more often and die. tbh its i feel its very situational and doesn't provide the team much benefit.
youre right Lightweight is a sleeper perk, but these replies are filled with nothing but meta slaves who run the same 4 perks every game so they'll never experience it
Tbh I just find it to make a match more predictable as usually I just can't find the distortion user so one survivor dies early and then it's just not worth it at that point. I respect and even do use distortion myself when used as an info tool and for removing so much pressure from unhooks or working on far away gens.
@@vaporghoulyea but as a distortion user myself, I’m doing gens. If you’re chasing someone, tough luck on them, I hope they know how to loop, cus I didn’t get caught. So it’s not a waste if I’m here doing gens my guy. Keep chasing or waste time trying to find me
I once played game with kindred on soloq i even had the ace perk increases your aura reading i was the one who got first hooked only to see my all teammates crouching on the whole map no one came to rescue me i died on the first hook and got so angry played slug build nurse and made all 4 survivors bleed out i relivied so much after that nurse match
I main Ripley and I run Kindred, Deja vu, Resilience and Lucky star. So, if I’m able to get away from the killer and don’t heal immediately, I pop in a locker to silence myself and then work on a Deja vu gen, ideally with a commodious toolbox with wire spool and scraps. So, how’s my build?
Dude, the killer can hit you when you land on the other side of the window, which is BS , Get out of jail free card, my ass, go cry about something else.
It’s amazing to me that FINALLY aura blocking perks like Distortion are given the recognition they deserve. I was one of the early adopters of DBD, and used to be a very active member of the official DBD Forums (a hellish place), and I remember distinctly back then how much aura blocking was ridiculed as useless, whilst I would ruthlessly defend perks that gave aura blocking. I can’t believe it’s 6 or 7 years for aura blocking to be recognised for how game changing it really is.
That's only because too many killers rely on aura reading. Their are so many aura reading perks that 3 pips can vanish in no time I don't need aura reading to find survivors. Survivors using it against me are only running a dead perk.
To much aura reading, besides survivor still will hide even without it like Dwight's in lockers and claudette crouching in corners. Killers need to stop relying on aura reading to much, distortion counters it.
What about object of obsession? I know that its a shit perk that gets you killed,but you can easily tell what aura reading perks a killer has+you get to see their aura aswell. While it may not work on silent killers like mikey or ghostface,you can still see when your aura is being read(such as when they are stalking you). Combined with distortion OR not being the obsession(hoping someone else is the obsession) will get rid of the debuff that shows your aura every 30s. I had quite a few succesful games,but i did dig my grave a few times forgetting to keep track of the 30s debuff
I personally think the best perk in the game by a mile is off the record. Its just there is way too much to say about it but to quickly give some reasons why -it works twice per game before endgame(first and second hook) -its three perks in one(iron will,distortion and borrowed time) -it makes many endgame perks better(adrenaline,hope,no one left behind,etc) -you can still pair it with exhaustion perks -its a safety net if you get tunneled -even if you don’t get tunneled or you do a consipicous action you get to keep the aura protection and silence for the whole duration -it lasts 80 whole seconds There is more to it but thats the major points. Overall… start using off the record more
@@IcarusFaIleni started a few days ago. Isn't that the perk that gives you 3 attempts to free yourself from a hook? I use it sometimes but I'm not a big fan of it because 20% escape chance seems still not worth the risk and there is alwqys the possibility to get no value out of it in a game.
Can we talk about distortion players? They are the biggest 😺 out there, not all of them but most of them just sitting in a corner shitting their pants when they are in the killer's terror radius for more then 0.01 second
Wish iron will stayed at 70 present but wasn't exhaustion perk. Man, literally any exhaustion debuffs are making this perk useless and it's so annoying. And you can't use at least balance, even tho they still hit you through it, which makes no sense, it's still good to have possibility to run away when falling in 1-2 out of 6 chances
u have to either unlock them in the shrine weekly or unlock the chars none of the perks mentioned are unlockable at the start apart from the last one kindred
@@ronaldsmith7464 If you have to run hope or adrenaline to survive endgame then you are bad. Also NOED is so bad nowadays. You cab see the totem and the killer can't protect it while holding survivors off from opening the gate and getting out. If the killer chases your teammate, go for the totem, if the killer just guards the totem, get out and don't bother.
Perfect perk to counter and find Hexes easier. Definitely a good idea to bring (with a rainbow map with the more charge and less burn rate addons), since mainy killers love to use the Hex combination of Plaything and Pentimento and to know where other's Hexes are is a good thinf, since that makes it far eaiser to break Pentimento totems as well

-Iron will only works when you're not exhausted so you cannot bait injured after a run when you're out of ressources in exhaustion, -Distorsion will be completely destroyed in less than 1 patch

Windows of Opportunity, if you're still trying to learn map layouts and where pallets spawns on tiles, which tiles has the best windows etc.

Windows for opportunity from 4 survs 3 has it like always
So finess is a get out of jail free card every 30s
Dude, the killer can hit you when you land on the other side of the window, which is BS , Get out of jail free card, my ass, go cry about something else.
Not really you don't always Have a window and don't commit to windows if you know you have finesse but sure keep blaming perks because your not good
Sadly Distortion got nerfed into the ground with you only being able to restore tokens (max 2) while in a chase.(30 seconds per token)
when my distortion goes off against a spirit and I’m running iron will as well *MUAHAHAHA
It’s amazing to me that FINALLY aura blocking perks like Distortion are given the recognition they deserve. I was one of the early adopters of DBD, and used to be a very active member of the official DBD Forums (a hellish place), and I remember distinctly back then how much aura blocking was ridiculed as useless, whilst I would ruthlessly defend perks that gave aura blocking. I can’t believe it’s 6 or 7 years for aura blocking to be recognised for how game changing it really is.
i love perks that give you milion value with minimal effort
*cries in Distortion was recently nerfed*
Finesse is so bad mean, the only good reason to use hit is for oni
They gutted distortion to its grave
I use most of these perks and run killers for like 3 gens lol
I'm glad Distortion is getting changed, too many survivors just hide all match.
The game was always about hiding....😂
You know what I mean... hiding as in too scared to touch a gen,totem,unhook etc etc.
That's only because too many killers rely on aura reading. Their are so many aura reading perks that 3 pips can vanish in no time
I don't need aura reading to find survivors. Survivors using it against me are only running a dead perk.
To much aura reading, besides survivor still will hide even without it like Dwight's in lockers and claudette crouching in corners. Killers need to stop relying on aura reading to much, distortion counters it.
@@lewis9391 lethal - nwth - gearhead - bbq stacks gone by first hook, besides headphones are a thing 😅
What about object of obsession? I know that its a shit perk that gets you killed,but you can easily tell what aura reading perks a killer has+you get to see their aura aswell. While it may not work on silent killers like mikey or ghostface,you can still see when your aura is being read(such as when they are stalking you). Combined with distortion OR not being the obsession(hoping someone else is the obsession) will get rid of the debuff that shows your aura every 30s. I had quite a few succesful games,but i did dig my grave a few times forgetting to keep track of the 30s debuff
Scratch mirror Myers vs Distortion
😒
I always use Off the record, kindred and lithe, the 4th depends on what kinda mood I'm in 😏
I personally think the best perk in the game by a mile is off the record. Its just there is way too much to say about it but to quickly give some reasons why
-it works twice per game before endgame(first and second hook)
-its three perks in one(iron will,distortion and borrowed time)
-it makes many endgame perks better(adrenaline,hope,no one left behind,etc)
-you can still pair it with exhaustion perks
-its a safety net if you get tunneled
-even if you don’t get tunneled or you do a consipicous action you get to keep the aura protection and silence for the whole duration
-it lasts 80 whole seconds
There is more to it but thats the major points.
Overall… start using off the record more
Ok ok but hear me out... slippery meat. No? Alright, I'll leave.
It's a really great perk but I like to use altruistic perks.
@@IcarusFaIleni started a few days ago.
Isn't that the perk that gives you 3 attempts to free yourself from a hook?
I use it sometimes but I'm not a big fan of it because 20% escape chance seems still not worth the risk and there is alwqys the possibility to get no value out of it in a game.
@@darkerthanblack8897True, but slippery meat and salty lips combo, tho?
@@darkerthanblack8897the one you’re talking about is slippery meat, it gives you exactly what you said. But I think it read 4% more of a chance,Not 20
Can we talk about distortion players? They are the biggest 😺 out there, not all of them but most of them just sitting in a corner shitting their pants when they are in the killer's terror radius for more then 0.01 second
Wish iron will stayed at 70 present but wasn't exhaustion perk. Man, literally any exhaustion debuffs are making this perk useless and it's so annoying. And you can't use at least balance, even tho they still hit you through it, which makes no sense, it's still good to have possibility to run away when falling in 1-2 out of 6 chances
Which characters do you have to prestige or does everyone have them?
u have to either unlock them in the shrine weekly or unlock the chars none of the perks mentioned are unlockable at the start apart from the last one kindred
I think we’ll make it is a good contender
One thing I don't understand is, why is Hope/Adrenaline ok for survivors but if the killer has Noed they are suddenly a bad killer?
Dude, if you have to run noed as a killer, you are bad.
@@ronaldsmith7464Ah, thanks for the pointless comment 👍
@@ronaldsmith7464 If you have to run hope or adrenaline to survive endgame then you are bad.
Also NOED is so bad nowadays. You cab see the totem and the killer can't protect it while holding survivors off from opening the gate and getting out. If the killer chases your teammate, go for the totem, if the killer just guards the totem, get out and don't bother.
@valeriebreidenstein8362 I agree hope and adrenaline are not worth running to me,
As someone who plays killer, if I ever feel like I have to use noed, then I KNOW I'm bad. I honestly feel like utter trash when I use that perk.
What about Small Game
@@seinedbd ur mother
Perfect perk to counter and find Hexes easier. Definitely a good idea to bring (with a rainbow map with the more charge and less burn rate addons), since mainy killers love to use the Hex combination of Plaything and Pentimento and to know where other's Hexes are is a good thinf, since that makes it far eaiser to break Pentimento totems as well
you will neverrr catch me not running hope
