Anyone played Blight on PS4? I�m assuming you can�t use him as well as PC, but wondering how he does if you use the bounces for gaining distance and then just M1 killer it up? Deathslinger turned out to be fine to play despite people claiming him impossible on controller, so wondering if it�s the same for Blighty boi.

Azran: Sep 3, 2012; And what should one do to be remembered?

Considering Clown is essentially an M1 killer whose power is decidedly less useful than Blight, bouncing around just to traverse the map or chase people may not be optimal but it's by no means bad. Just take Lethal Rush opportunities if they happen to appear. Most annoying part is getting used to his low point of view.

I have no idea what's going on with sales. The in-game sale and the Humble Store sale have been going for days now, and Steam's sale was supposed to start yesterday. But it got Twitter postponed to the 29th.

So I just bought the Silent Hill pack from Humble Store.

I'm coming around to the idea that the Blight challenge is basically going to be "have one good match with literally any killer and any playstyle instead" in terms of BP.

Pinball ~~Wizard~~ Alchemist is probably the weirdest killer power to wrap your head around hands down. You need a decent chunk of practice and futzing around with it in addition to map and tile knowledge. I actually had no troubles with the challenges ( :smugdog:

) but I've practiced Blight quite a bit on PBE and after launch. Totally understandable if you don't even bother trying them though, he's a real pain to learn.

Oh don't get me wrong I like playing Blight a ton, it's just that in a given match a lot of the maps don't give you a better opportunity to ricochet and Lethal Rush someone 6 times in a match when you could just juke them in a chase or get a lunge around a turn. It's a case of having to decide if I'm better off playing for the specific challenge or playing to actually do well in the match.

And the challenge after it (Lethal Rush someone after 4 bounces) is a ton easier to do, since if you're using your rushes to cross the map anyway you'll probably end up getting that one on a survivor you caught on a gen once or twice a round.

I may have just gotten lucky with certain maps benefitting my attempt at the challenge. I think of all the killers Blight is up there with Huntress for a map having a large effect on your ability to use your power. I didn't really modify my playstyle too much either for the challenge, certain long loops just really lend to using your power as well as catching people out in the open. Best of luck getting the challenge done!

One thing I will say that I appreciate Blight's power for is when you realize a loop isn't going anywhere just noping out of it at mach 5 to go cane some folks off a generator. Second only to Hag or Nightmare for the ability to decide you're tired of being somewhere.

You know what? I don't even hate the indoor maps as much as I used to. Yeah, having gens on different floors makes patrolling with any kind of pressure absolute rear end, but I can handle that. What I can't handle is places like Gideon having loving deserts where lockers are an endangered species.

I think it's mostly Strode Hedge Reality that pisses off the really good Huntresses but I wouldn't be surprised if the Lery's rework made it a bit less terrible. Also depends a bit on survivor skill.

Danaru: Jun 5, 2012; 何 ??

I really dont have much trouble with the Lampkin Lane map, even back when infinites were a thing (maybe I was too low ranked to see them :frogdunce:

). Its a great map if you run Iron Grasp, Agitation, Mad Grit, and uhhh the basement hook one since you can get to the basement from anywhere on the map if you're a normal speed killer.

I like running that sometimes with the gimmick that I can only use the basement hooks :v:

then I get The Game and wish I was dead

# ? Oct 28, 2020 17:36

TGLT: Aug 14, 2009

The Lery's rework made it better from the standpoint of not having windows chaining into more windows, but it's still a tight constricted map that keeps you from doing the fun long range hatchets. But it's on the smaller side so I guess it evens out.

It'd be nice if they gave us purple or green offerings that let you specify indoor or outdoor maps. It'd be a solid tradeoff for telegraphing what sort of killer you're playing.

Midwich. Hawkins is at least fine for stealth killers. Maybe some better signposting for doors that aren't open would be nice. Midwich however really needs to have its hallways broken up by rubble ramps between floors or something, the large classroom with the collapsed center should never be walled off, and maybe a broken wall in one of the first floor hallways to let people into the courtyard would be nice. Maybe some extra ways out of some of the classrooms themselves would be nice paired with more blockers and poo poo in the hallways. edit: Not even necessarily new doorways, even just crumbled open vault points in the center of some of the classrooms would be nice.

2nd edit: also they should just delete it and replace it with Nowhere it's such a perfect fit and a way more flexible choice for making a proper DBD map

on the Co-op discord as of right now @ the mods and they'll assign you the LFDbD role so we can organize. Vox is busy working but he'll get the bot set up eventually to let you assign the role to yourself.

Nothing wrong with healing under hook if you know the killer is chasing someone else

# ? Oct 29, 2020 00:13

TGLT: Aug 14, 2009

If you see the We'll Make It icon pop up it'll be super quick, too. It's often best to be healed up since stealth is of limited utility and more so if you're wounded.

# ? Oct 29, 2020 00:25

Doomykins: Jun 28, 2008; Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?

If Killer is at medium or long distance they will usually assume you've run to the left or right and be looking for scratch marks to confirm it. I prefer to walk to the nearest LoS break from the hook itself to heal but under the hook works well especially if it is inside a jungle gym.

There's one excuse for this, IMO, and it's if the healer has both We'll Make It and Spine Chill, so they can heal you quickly and know when the killer is coming back, and even then only if we know the killer's already chasing someone. WMI has a loving 90 second timer, that's more than long enough to run to the next good loop.

Edit: Very vaguely related, does anyone have links to videos about getting better at looping in general? Map specific stuff is fine, too, I need to learn the maps better, but my loop game is super weak as a survivor, and knowing the good strats would make my chase game way better when I can't just shortcut it with a hatchet over a pallet.

Edit 2: Equally unrelated, I'm torn about whether I wanna spend my next 9k shards on Clown, for Pop (and Bamboozle, I guess), or on Deathslinger because he's the next killer I wanna try out. I already have Hag, so Hex: Ruin is an option for a slowdown perk, but there's been many, many times where I wished I had Pop. (I'm probably gonna try out the jank strat of Ruin and Haunted Ground on the same set soon, because lol.)

Edit 3: For anyone who's curious, current shrine is Bond, Thanatophobia, Enduring, and Lithe(!).
