Why it works
Déjà Vu shows the three generators that sit closest together, so you can work on the ones the killer would want to protect. Prove Thyself speeds up gens when you work together, and Hyperfocus rewards a string of great skill checks. Resilience adds repair speed while you are injured, which happens a lot.
How to play
Pick a Déjà Vu generator and stay on it. Work together with a teammate to trigger Prove Thyself. Use Brand New Part on a gen that is nearly done when the killer is busy in a chase.
How this score is made
Score 69/100 = rules 67 + 2 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 | 17 / 50 | Known strong perk pairs (13 each) and purposes shared by 2+ perks (4 each), max 50. |
| Balance | 50 / 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. |
