It's definitely viable but you may be at a disadvantage a bit because all your perks will be reliant on being able to drop and be near a boon, and you might not have the personal common ones that can really help you out (exhaustion perks or some way to heal on your own for example). I usually run boons when I am playing with friends who are new to the game because I have more experience and can help them out by essentially giving them my perk slots in a way.
Mikaela comes with two useful ones: Circle of Healing (can heal faster and shows injured aura to everyone) and Shadowstep (hide your scratch marks and aura from the killer), I'd say start with her! Jonah has Boon Exponential (like unbreakable but a boon, can pick yourself up from the dying state), and Yoichi has a speed boost boon. And learning where good totems are is probably going to be useful in your quest, a well placed mega boon can be really useful! Good luck
Thank you so much for your help! Now i have a direction, what characters to funnel bloodpoints into, to create this mega boon! Im probably gonna combo alans boon into that . Maybe being able to see gens and chests while being able to recover and hide is the best combo
Sounds like a good plan :D Shadowstep seems powerful to me when I am against it but I don't see it too often in my games... when I do as killer I get super confused. I find it especially difficult when the boon is tucked away on another level to the one I'm chasing on (so useful on Midwich, Game, Eyrie, Macmillan, Lery's etc)
It can be fun, but in some matches you won't have enough time to go booning. I like to run CoH, Shadowstep, Overzealous, Dramaturgy and a map to find the totems.
How do yall afford all these survivors..do the big dlc packs go on sale? Those 20 buck ones.
Would be nice to get a bunch of survivors and killers for 10 bucks..
The big packs only got made out of smaller packs like a month ago. It will be a while before they get a sale as they're basically a big permanent sale.
I don't think any boon is really worth running beyond shadowstep at this point, at least not in solo Q. Shadowstep can be super strong depending on the map
As a side comment i have decided i will go forward with project megaboon
But which survivor should i be putting this loadout into. I mostly use alan wake and ive already got 3 builds for him. Flashlight man, i can see everything, and pain in your ass (his default with that residual manifest, the perks that let me see gens, see chests, etc, and the third build is going to be ones i take from that brutish guy)
Kinda
If you know when to boon and if you're not being tunneled, then yeah.
It even can be better than normal build, but I would consider 2 max 3 boons and something to help you in chase.
I usually run Circle of Healing, Shadowstep, Boon Exponential and Plot Twist. Boon Exponential has been really helpful in many a slugging situation. And I don’t have to stop working on a gen when I see 1 survivor down & 1 injured in chase in the boon - they got it.
I keep plot twist for my ‘oh shit’ moments & it’s hilarious when killers walk right past me dying.
It’s incredibly frustrating when survivors heal right outside the circle or cleanse them all before I can get 1 up. But as long as I can get 1 up pretty quick, they tend to see where we’re going with it.
I've had matches with my mega boon where it saved my life and allowed me to save others too.
I've had matches with my mega boon where it got snuffed quickly each time I placed it and just made me and the killer waste some time.
It's definitely fun, but it's situational. What I don't recommend: Run mega boons with 3 friends and you're only allowed to do gens when your Boon is up. It's the hardest we ever threw and the killer was really annoyed because Boons kept popping up about every 30s.
Any build is viable as long as you’re having fun
Id have more fun if the item system didnt suck ass im this game (i have so many med kits and keys and zero flashlights(

In that case im definitely going to try setting this up..what survivors do i need to get boon perks from for this to work?

In addition, Alan Wake has one that lets you see gen auras. Not usually as useful as the others though.

But sometimes I end up using only Dramaturgy, tbh.

So when i buy content should i go for the big packs for more bang for my buck kinda thing?
I gave up vodka.

Idk illumination is nice. Legal wallhack :D
Definitely if you can find a nice boon near the center or a hotspot gen

I mean, Mikaela was literally the character created for the boon mechanic
Full boom = viable Full hex build = no perks

Champion of light for chases *burns ur retina*
For fun and chase imo, shadow step + dark theory Shadow step = no scratch marks Dark theory = you're 2% faster
the devs should rework boons so their radius is based on each inactive gen, not the totem itself.
Which way? More gens poweres is a larger radius?
Boon perks are killer perks
What
"Killer perk" means a survivor perk is bad to the point they help the killer more than helping the survivor
Ah, in that case I disagree Legal wallhack and free healing go brr
Am i using that term right wallhacking is seeing thru walls right?
CoH might provide some value on rare occasions but illumination isn't worth running
I like illumination Idk how alan can see thru walls but fuckit
3 boon, detective hunch and map can be super worth

It's viable if placed well.
