  1. I miss old iridescent button having a massive range for feral frenzy as well as destroying pallets when vaulting was so much fun.

    Edit: now all it does is just destroy pallets and doesn't make your terror radius the entire map. Which was why I loved using it alot

  2. Iridescent Umbrella Badge and Jill's Sandwich are a great combo for Nemesis. Your can just focus on his survivors with your tentacle and when they use the vaccine you can see where they are and go kill them. It has even worked when I was across the entire map on red forest.

  3. Honestly both twins iris are mediocre at best. The shroud makes Charlotte undetectable after waking so you can just spam it to play a shit version of meyers/ghosty with no instadown. The best you can do is grab a blind survivor

  4. I mainly just think the rarer the add-on, shouldn’t mean the most powerful. I personally believe it would be more fun/game changing if the rarer the add-on the more drastic the change is to a killer’s power. but balanced. like idk, wesker having three short and quick lunges. or no stealth ghost face but way better stalk, (or waaay longer stalk but you can’t snap him out, or maybe even more downsides to not being able to snap him out). I always felt a good example was one hatchet huntress, or a good example but bad execution (in fairness) is infinite tier 3 myers.

  5. Not going to lie you underrate the hell out of some of these addons. Death Throes comp is used by many of the best tricksters out there, and family crest is just fantastic. It's practically an on-command infectious fright, and can substitute out for several aura perks in lieu of more slowdown.

  6. Iridescent family crest is actually really strong hens made a video about it showing it's potential.
    You basically get a free infectious fright ehen in your power if you miss

  7. Old Father's Glasses DID have its use. Ironically with old Mother Daughter ring. Those two together were incredibly broken since not only did you have the speed, but the blood tracking was miles better than the scratch marks since it was way more accurate. And since Mother Daughter ring removed scratch marks, and people ran Iron Will religiously back then, you kind of needed the Glasses to find the survivors if you weren't running Stridor.

  8. The issue with terror radius perk is survivors have so many aura perks to see the killer now and the UI tell you someone else is being chased they really are stuck in 2018 with killer powers Addons the most valuable now are blindness hinder and incapacitate which no perk or addons do anymore I think

  9. I wish Iridescent Umbrella Badge for Neme instead of exposing survivors (cause that boring tbh) that after vaccinating the next tentacle strike to hit that survivor would instantly damage(if healthy) and infect the survivor at the same time, at the cost of a slightly longer cooldown while hitting a recently vaccinated survivor

  10. I've been playing Slinger since his release, and there's only been ONE time in my whole life that the aura reading version of Hellshire Iron came into play. I speared someone in the lower part of the Temple Of Purgation, and it showed me the aura of someone in a locker LMAO

  11. Actually didn’t mind the Black Box when it’s effect made the obsession prema-sleep. Its effects were pretty powerful and had interesting interactions when combined with obsession perks like Rancor and/or STBFL or even Remember Me and considering how bad (or unhealthy) his other add ons were at the time, pretty solid. Especially when you consider that his teleportation cool down was based on how many survivors were in the dream state. This add on at it’s worst was essentially a straight buff to his base kit while also ensuring at least one survivor was an easier chase because they always were susceptible to your snares or dream pallets.
    Not as good as the paint brush or “forever Freddy” add ons but more customizable and easy to use and get value from.

  12. How is the Remote Control not here? It’s a Sadako add on where after you tp, you see the auras of survivors who are within 16 meters of a tv who are carrying a vhs tape. The only time survivors have the vhs tape is grabbing it when they have too much condemned and then instantly putting it away! And then it has a 16meter range- yeah it sucks
