Better Together Perk Synergies
Better Togetherhelps give your team additional information, and will potentiallyinfluence another teammate to come join youin order to repair a generator faster.
The secondary benefit that reveals all Survivors auras to you when someone is downed canhelp you understand who might be close to that Survivor. If you are the closest, then you might want topause your repairs to go for the hook save.
Fixated Perk Synergies
Fixated lets you see your own scratch marks, which you’re able to use tolet you know what the Killer will see, too. You canuse Fixated to try and trick a Killerby running in a certain direction to leave scratch marks, thenwalking faster in the opposite directionwithout leaving scratch marks.
Inner Strength Perk Synergies
Inner Strength is potentially one ofthe strongest Survivor perks in the game. It is great for being self-sufficient, allowing you tokeep yourself healed without relying on teammates or an item.
Plus,Inner Strength works as a strong counter to any Hex totem.Hex perks are some of the strongest perks Killers can use, sogetting rid of the totems around a map will benefit your entire team.
Give your teammates a heads-up if you run Inner Strength.Do this in case any other Survivorhas a Boon perk in their load-out, or so they at least know you will need to be the one to cleanse totems.
Overzealous
You definitelydo not want to run any Boon perks yourselfwhen you run Inner Strength, since Boon perks rely on totems staying on the map. It would becounterproductiveto run these together.
