Why it works
Tombstone Piece makes you Undetectable as soon as Evil Within III starts, and Judith's Tombstone refreshes Evil Within III every time you hook someone. Monitor & Abuse and Dark Devotion keep you hidden while you stalk, so you can stay in your strongest state for a long time.
How to play
Stalk quietly until Evil Within III, then go from survivor to survivor: every hook keeps your power going. Save the Best for Last helps you down the others faster.
How this score is made
Score 31/100 = rules 28 + 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 | 20 / 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. |
