Why it works
This build is all about skill checks. Doctor's madness makes skill checks harder, Distressing makes your terror radius bigger, and Unnerving Presence, Huntress Lullaby and Overcharge make survivors fail more checks. Every failed check costs gen time.
How to play
Shock survivors on gens and keep your terror radius over as many gens as you can. Then watch the gens explode.
How this score is made
Score 80/100 = rules 83 − 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 | 43 / 50 | Known strong perk pairs (13 each) and purposes shared by 2+ perks (4 each), max 50. |
| Balance | 40 / 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. |
