Why it works
Kindred shows who is near a hooked survivor, Bond and Empathy show where teammates are and who is hurt, and We'll Make It lets you heal them quickly after the save. Only uses perks every survivor has from the start (General perks) plus one or two perks from the free base-game characters, so you can run it right away.
How to play
Be the one who goes for the unhook. Wait until the killer walks away from the hook, save, then heal the survivor right away.
How this score is made
Score 35/100 = rules 38 − 3 from NightLight community stats. The rules part is calculated by this site from the perk descriptions; only the community part comes from real match results.
| Part | Points | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Synergy | 8 / 50 | Known strong perk pairs (13 each) and purposes shared by 2+ perks (4 each), max 50. |
| Balance | 30 / 50 | Basic needs: killers want gen slowdown (−20 without) and info (−10 without); survivors want a chase or second-chance perk (−20 without) and something for the team (−10 without). −10 per empty slot. |
| Conflicts | 0 | Penalties: the same perk twice (licensed copy, −15), two Exhaustion perks (−15), 2+ hexes without Undying or Thrill of the Hunt (−6). |
| Community stats | -3 | NightLight: how often these perks win compared with the average perk of their role, corrected for small samples (−10 to +10). Only when stats are imported. |
