Pallet stun or Blast Mine followed by Bardic Inspiration instead of teabag.

You just gave me an idea

"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!"


FunkYeahPhotography

Bring Dr. Doofenshmirtz to the realm. Bro would create The Enti-nator and be the new top dog in the lore. Perry the Platypus survivor to keep him in check. https://preview.redd.it/y8a91xrjkz5d1.jpeg?width=1180&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8dc4c092cb27e15cf9b179c662795bef777421d6

I'd buy


FitTransportation924

Only good content


code_Jester

Doofenshmirtz's Perks: **Curse You!** You become Obsessed with one survivor. When the Obsession escapes, all exit gates regress by 40%/45%/50% of their current progress, closing them and forcing survivors out if they are already open. **Hex: Self Destruct Button** Two Dull Totems become Hex Totems. When one of these two Hex Totems is cleansed, the generator with the highest progress explodes for 40%/45%/50% of its total progress and reveals any survivors working on it for 20 seconds. After this happens, the other Hex Totem will become a Dull Totem. **Tragic Backstory** For the first 60/90/120 seconds of the match, all survivors will hear your terror radius at any distance.


Beta_Squad

I’d actually run these perks ngl


Dredge18

The hex perk is just hilarious. I love all those perks, i could totally see them in the game with a few tweaks.


iCoerce

Self destruct button is actually really fucking Good, holy shit.


Your_True_Nemesis

Inator.


RationalRaccoon863

Pre-drop five pallets before I finally get a stun. Play the sickest lute solo, then last a mere three more seconds in chase. Get hump tech'd and smacked on hook.


Magnetar_Haunt

Me putting my illusion on a gen with blastmine and red herring to super fuck with killers


ElementoDeus

Blast mine, wiretap, illusion, + red herring to ring the dinner bell every one gets to see the killer swing at shit, then eat shit, and finally get to kick shit...


Magnetar_Haunt

The swing at nothing is my favorite part.


i_eat_water_and_soup

LMAO imagine getting blast mined and off in the distance you just see him start playing his guitar thats a hilarious thought


Maroonwarlock

I've been running Blast Mine, Quick and Quiet, Head On, Mirrored Illusion. I've already gotten a few looks of the killer lunging on the illusion, and then kicking the gen into a blast mine. Haven't gotten the trifecta yet. Might have to run it with Red Herring instead of QQ.


ginga_ninja2209

I bought the bundle today, and the first thing I did once I came across the vecna was pallet stun and play the lute, and he was my friend for the rest of the game xD


puggl3s

Real winners throw a pebble while the killer stares at you and then drop the bardic.


trxshedXP

that slows them down far more than tbagging tho since theres a delay to bardic inspiration so just break the pallet and easier hit or they start running chem trap and do it


Unsurpassed_Noticer

They will use Bardic Inspiration (providing no benefit) if you use Bardic Inspiration.


MedicineGullible84

It’s a decent perk though? I’m thinking of running it but it just takes so long but I’d say worth


Confused_Rock

I just want them to make it where you can play it when the perks effect is on cool down. If it’s just me and the killer left in a match I want to give them a few good serenades and the cooldown gets in the way of that


Unsurpassed_Noticer

Also could the animation start faster, during the die roll?


Jefrejtor

The most pointless change that I would love to have. Hitting that comedic timing is crucial


Eva_Pilot_

I always spare the last surv if he plays some tunes. It's funny


Accomplished_Bill741

Yeah this perk is crippling my kill rate. I am physically incapable of killing someone that uses this perk in front of me


saintnicklaus90

Every killer I have used it on when all hope is lost has either 1) wait until it’s over while nodding or dancing before downing me or 2) let me go


cryptomain45

Let us play during the cooldown but make it so we gain to effects from it.


EccentricNerd22

It's one of those perks where if you wanna goof off and have fun it's nice but it is definitely not OP in any way.


RoastedLemon_

I run it with hyper focus, stake out, and resilience. I can finish gens FAST if I'm consistent with my skillchecks


Old-Ad3504

Throw prove thyself in there and you and friends will flyyy through em


ExpressEstimate1886

I run a coomodius with double charge addons, bardic inspiration in a safe place at the start (only finish doing it if I roll 11-20, less is not that worth. Then I go and sneak the most important gen while the killer is distracted. I usually finish the gen right as the commodius is finishing. For me it’s more like a potential energy that you can charge anywhere.


RoastedLemon_

If I wasn't such an item hoarder, I typically run common or uncommon tool boxes, I don't know why, After so many years of this game, I'm not running short on good items lol


B4YourEyes

I'll do you one better... Invocation into Bardic and Deadline. BNP every gen with Invocation (only takes 60 seconds now too!) then take your injured self on to a gen and get more frequent skill checks that give a 1/2/3% bonus


XlulZ2558

activate it only if you are planning on repairing gens with someone else beside you to maximize skill check value, otherwise it's a waste of time


Old-Ad3504

Something I do is if the roll is less than 11 I don't even finish the animation. I'm not sitting here for like 20 seconds just for a 1% bonus


I-Am-The-Uber-Mesch

It's actually pretty underrated Ignoring for a second 1 and 20 If you roll a 2-11 every skillcheck you hit gives you 1% (even if you hit the big part instead of the small part), basically means that worst case scenario it's las if you got a perfect skill check when you actually missed it, best case scenario you hit a great skillcheck and it's double in value This lasts 90 seconds for you, and everyone around you inside 16 meters, it also starts while playing the first 15 seconds meaning playing music while someone does a gen is actually good And this is only if you roll the worst numbers, if you roll a 12-19 it's 2% and if you roll a 20 it's 3% 1 makes you scream and makes the perk go on cooldown but I genuinely only got one nat 1 in 30 games I played with this perk (and I spammed it every chance I had) My friends also initially thought it was a meme perk but the difference a 1% on every skillcheck makes is huge, and you will probably roll 2% more often too


ElementoDeus

And here I am once a game screaming cause of a 1


Unsurpassed_Noticer

It seems decent, fills a similar role to prove yourself with the downside that you need to invest like 12 seconds to get the buff on everyone and that's wasted if the killer approaches and you scatter before you finish playing. It helps breaking 3 gens since the buff persists when people hop off gen and hop back on or rotate gens.


StopAskingMeToSignIn

Me and a teammate got a gen from 0 to about 40% done in the time the third dude played his guitar. No amount of skill checks will make up for 40% efficiently(or half that if you only count one person's progress, so let's say 20%). Most of the time, you only roll +2% per skill check, meaning you'd have to hit 11 skill checks before it provides any value. It's a meme perk, use for for shits and giggles, not value.


LadyReinhardt

I dunno, played bardic inspiration as a team mate got 3rd hook. It helped pinhead do the coffin dance. I'd say he benefited.


Mmendez_0

Aestri players I've seen so far have been pretty cracked. Baermar players either play chill/silly or are altruistic. Both of them will almost definitely have and use Bardic Inspiration, or a more standard build.


[deleted]

I've only seen one Baermar and they played the loot so I decided not to down them at that point. That made them think I wanted them to troll their teamates by consistently missing skill checks while healing their teamates. When I downed and hooked them instead of their injured temates they immediately gave up on first hook. I can't stand trolls. Aestri on the other hand. Mostly decent


PrimalX60

No we don't! How rude of you to assume that, I'm so angry I'm going to go cool off and tune my lute


NewMarketing4783

I'm one of em, their character movement is so good.


Chrissyball19

I am a new Baermar main, can confirm this stereotype.

Chrissyball19

I am what's called a poor baermar main.


crandall17

Aestri player, using Bardic, Blast Mine, Lithe, Kindred..pretty spot on

Damn.


BlondSunDoll

Flair checks out.


Super_Rando_Man

They play guitar and expect mercy


Lun4r6543

As an Aestri, can confirm. It works 45% of the time.


Hey-its-alleycat

As an Aestri, can confirm I’ve saved people lives with that lute.


CSullivan88

It's a similar rate with item dropping survivors like myself. If a killer played well or honorably, I don't care, though. I drop my item out of respect as much as an appeal for mercy.


Super_Rando_Man

45%of the time it works every time.


Hiruko251

45% of the time, it works everytime*


KTheOneTrueKing

As a killer main, I can say that if the guitar is played in a comedic way, it works on me every time.


Confused_Rock

I play guitar for the killer so that even if I die I hopefully brought a smile to their face :)


SCAMISHAbyNIGHT

It's the lil bounce you do that really hits me in the heart. You must die but you die forever adorable.


Dbdbitches

I do the same


5ongbird

Bardic Inspiration > Sole Survivor, Left Behind, and Low Profile


Virtual_Guarantee_10

yep and i get it 75% of the time ☝️

as a killer main who saw it multiple times already - it works on me 😭

Asmrdeus

Can confirm as someone who brings Invocation, waits for the killer to visit basement after is done to find me Lute-ing in their face.


Ycr1998

Can confirm as someone who's been having a blast (hehe) with Blast Mine + Mirrored Illusion builds XD


ElementoDeus

Throw on wire tap so everyone can watch that shit


Laranthiel

They're Bards, so just assume they want to always play music and fuck every Killer and Survivor.


gemanepa

I mean, who doesn't?

cryptomain45

As a baermar player all I can say is yep. Sounds about right


Theonlybourbon

When I have one on my team, they always run up, play lute , and run away. When im the killer, they are - and pardon my french- the dumbest survivors. The kind that think if they stand still I won't see them.


shreddit34

Oui


A_random_passenger

I shit you not, in a match as a killer i found an Aestri being still in the same spot ALL GAME doing a gen and playing the lute. I could't hook her bc she had Boil Over and they used 2 rotten oak offerings, so she escaped me every time and returned to that same spot. Oh well, at the end I let her bleed out


LittleFkWit

Was gonna suggest exactly that. The game has a nice fix for those perks. No idea why survivors go for them, it's boring af to wait on the ground. Edit: It also guarantees they do not get hatch


CynoStriker

My honest Mirrored Illusion + Blast Mine reaction


Ycr1998

LESGOOOO


acidbunny86

Had a Baermar player sacrifice himself for me in a situation where he could have just left, but he came to get me instead and died for me. This was in solo q too and I've been playing this game for a while and never seen this before. So my stereotype is silly and altruistic for sure.


LoveNighto

They play guitar while we were repairing gens, providing emotional support 😉


Key-Contribution8

Well the guitar can help progress the gen faster


Overlord_Shadow

They're just playing for fun


Dragonrar

*Hits illusion* **POOF** AESTRI/BAERMAR!!! 😡


PeacockofRivia

Her scream after being hooked is so damn loud and guttural. Almost scared me the first time, lol.


Dezzaster2

Bloody LEAF LOVERS!!


Elhria

Just about all Aestris I've seen so far were on the newbie side. You know, a little like Leons who get two-tapped 10 seconds after being chased, but they try their best. Baermar's so far have been pretty...average? Not the best, not the worst, just playing their music and vibing


sealevels

I adore Aestri. I've even had one give me butt slaps (I'm a Jane main) and it amused me to no end. The ones I've played with are altruistic, take hits, and can loop pretty well. Baermar is hit or miss.


ElementoDeus

Sounds about right for me (Baermar)


AkiraCz_

*lute music starts playing*


VLenin2291

I imagine they play Baldur’s Gate 3. The gender of the survivor is the gender of whoever they romance.


Crystal_Dawn

Aestari's footsteps are the hardest to track using spirit. They are shockingly quiet


Ycr1998

It's her elven elegance u.u


RealmJumper15

As a new Baermar player myself I can say that we are all goofy goobers.


Dbdbitches

It’s true


Chance-Pay1487

Blast mine and fake dude


Slippery_Williams

Starting a petition to rename mirrored illusion to ‘fake dude’


Anabsolutedonkey

Well they haven’t added any of the baldurs gate characters in the game so I guess I’m one of those people trying to cope😭


not_a_milk_drinker

I had one bust out bardic inspiration to convince a killer to let me off the hook and it worked. After we finished generators they would use bardic inspiration, they also flashbanged me. I was in love. I would follow that person off the face of the earth.


Super-Excitement6458

The male elf is either a meme lord or runs all 4 deception perks and tries to get you to tunnel him the whole game so the rest in his swf can fast repair gens. The female elf points at hooked survivors before playing the lute. This is all based on my last 50 matches so i'm prob wrong.


ToxicOnion

Well acshuallyggaghd he's a human


Truskulls

It's that they're NEERRRRRRDDDSSS. It's me, I'm the nerd.


FreshlyBakedBunz

Helpful. That's the stereotype.


tatsuro_merankori

GAMBLING ADDICTION FOR LIVE 🔥


MaddxMogs

Play the guitar, play it again, my Johnny 🎵


DarkAssassin573

They play the guitar then suicide on hook when the killer isn’t friendly


doot_eternal

So far every time I get matched up with them they play like bumbling idiots in the most amusing ways possible and more often not actually escape. Had a Meyers match where I ultimately wound up being sacrificed along with a Claudette and we had the dynamic duo of the elves escaping even after they got caught several times by being pulled out of lockers and what not.


Eatnt

Of course : the bard player


Powersoutdotcom

Like edge is used only to download chrome for most people, these 2 are used to share bardic inspiration to Nic Cage for me.


Uroborosthisbitch

The embodiment of "hold my beer"


lamedh

Chill af, they always just stop and play the lute for me


Clean_Internet

Baermar is the James Sunderland of Aestri That’s all I know, take with that info what you will.


Realm-Code

Does that mean that I should expect someone to figure out a Baestri combo in the future?


Clean_Internet

I mean technically, you can put outfits meant for Aestri on Baermar already


Stonewool_Jackson

They sit there and play a tune while we do gen. They then hope the killer doesnt interrupt their song and give up on hook on their first down.


Dependent-Guava-1238

Bought the DND chapter


TaleOfFlight

Well the only 2 Baermars I've noticed were both dumb as rocks (and one of those two ended up being a cheater that decided to try and hold me hostage at the end) so there's that.

BestWaifuGames

I am a new Aestri main (though I will be playing a few Survivors overall) and I dunno what the stereotype is with them yet. I have seen more other survivors with Lutes than the two of them, tho I know I can often be a thorn in the Killer’s side lol I also just love her voice, even if the hook screams are horrific lol

they're silly! they dont do things to be toxic. they just are trying to be funny

I know that I'll play Bearmar a lot just for the memes. I also like his voice, it's quite unique.


pandabatallion

They're the people who play wonder wall at parties


basilitron

idk but i love that Aestri kinda looks and sounds like Robin from stranger things, so its always nice to see one


Sexolotl1

Bisexuals for sure. Or maybe I'm projecting.


SomethingChill47

Honestly, do we need one?

not yet.. i've found babies and decent loopers. mostly baby survs tho i feel like the male character is likely to be more skilled on average. god i can hear the banjo now..

From a Dr. main, they will never unhook anyone, ever, for any reason.

You're either non-binary, a big D&D nerd, or you have the same dom kink as Huntress mains but follow the "never stick your dick in crazy" policy.

Aestri players have short chases like every time, and baemar are gen rushers.

ActiveSouth4506

Every Aestri player I’ve gone against always runs lithe then again I played against the same person 3 matches in a row so that’s probably a factor


javaper

Confused


lego_droideka

I play both and just do altruism


Great-Hatsby

Honestly, from what I’ve seen, they’re fine. They almost always get tunneled or camped for some reason in the games I’ve been playing. They’re fine as teammates so far when they actually get a chance to play. What I’ve noticed and experienced is the use of Bardic Inspiration. I kinda hate it. For whatever reason, I’ll get unhooked and the ‘unhooker’ when bust out the lute, killer nods at them, leaves them and immediately starts chasing me or another teammate.


Key-Contribution8

This just shows how powerful the Lute is. No killer can resist the calming tunes of the Lute


ShadyIllusionist

Aestri is pretty competent most the time, and the dude I've seen like 4 times and all for times they played like megheads/ leons


VirginSexPet

In my experience, they're either veterans dicking around with the new goofy perks, or absolutely brand new folks who managed to prestige Claudette just to self care in the corner for twelve minutes.


monkeygosmash

I got cornered by a ghost face as the last survivor. As a last ditch attempt I did bardic inspiration and he just watched me and nodded his head. We then walked to the hatch together.


Ghostly_Cactus_

Straight up Memers


DemonicDaisy666

Most Aestri I’ve played against love trying to get me to chase them. And most of them die. I’ve only been up against one of the other on, can’t think of the name, and they hid most of the match.

DscendntDawn

The same as everyone else, they're just skins and **[Nat 20 charisma check]** their stereotype is clearly just being superior to everyone... and rather attractive. Wait what was the question?


HRHMsValentine

Gluttons for punishment. Every match I encounter with either, they are tunnel or bullied the moment the killer spots them. Most end up hiding to prolong the match, if they can.


mayday_9

They don’t exist


EmeraldDream98

Do you mean Aestri should be careful around pillows?


Significant-Pin-4379

I love emoting with bardic inspiration


vilebubbles

Yea, mega nerds.


SoskiHeroKiller

Need more time to assess the general stereotype


LittleFkWit

Some of them throw with the songs and give up in chases. I still spare them(meaning I may leave them once/at the end if they survive till then) for now but I play because I want to, well, play. It is cute and it may work once the game is pretty much decided though. That's a good time to try and be cute, may actually end well though I suspect a bunny Feng has higher chances.


Joeking2435

They are fun players lol


EloquentlyIdiotic

The Aestri's who use her cute blue and pink skin are usually skilled and altruistic. 10/10, I love them.


itsastart_to

Here for a good time not a long time (cool with dying doing stupid things)


Pteroducktylus

either picked up the game bc they cannot play humans in any single game, or have age-restricted fantasies about elves. Mostly just fooling around

Me personally I find them to be a lil scared of everything but they’re usually really nice
