Boil Over + Flip Flop Perk effectiveness gripe

[James Isaac Neutron]

OK, so the past few matches I had equipped this combo assuming it would be some sort of crime, basically if the killer ignores me for too long its and easy grab escape right? WRONG! last match freddy neglected me until I managed full heal in dying state and still managed to hook me like 30 meters away. WTF. its useless garbage even if you manage full dying state heal, which is rare. may as well stick to the perk that allows full heal from dying state.

Just a warning to all that may think this seems like a good idea, its just the devs failing at perk balance and making a combo that should be good waste 2 perk slots.

A bit over the top on how dismissive you are with this build.

Mix this with some bodyblocking or general SWF that can waste time before hooking and it can become unfair.

Also, you should have Unbreakable and Tenacity equipped.

With Tenacity you can crawl away faster AND heal while doing it. And with Unbreakable you recover from the dying state faster.

Use tenacity to make more distance between you and hooks. And If you don't think you can crawl away from hooks you can just pick yourself up with Unbreakable.

Combine this with sabotaging(Toolbox) and you can set yourself up a safe corner.

SWF isn't Comms. They're entirely separate. People choose to combine them.

You can always pick up 3 other decent survivors you find and NOT use comms.

And yeah, these perks are great. But they take up so many spots just for a chance at escaping. It's a fun build, just gimmicky.

Boil Over is garbage.
Didn't try Flip Flop, but considering the insane hook density, it's probably not as useful as it looks on paper.

Flip Flop + Boil Over + Unbreakable + Tenacity + going as far as possible from hooks and if you really want to make sure killer will never hook you - equip Alex's Toolbox with sabotage speed add-ons, sabo every hook near the corner, when killer can see you - go to that corner. No way he can hook you. And if you have any friends, you can ask them to bodyblock.
Only Agitation, Iron Grasp, Hangman's Trick can counter it, but almost nobody runs Hangman's Trick, very few run Iron Grasp or Agitation.

I tried Flip Flop as I have been maining Ash lately and for me personally I found it to be totally useless and very situational. However in the matches I had it in I never got to make use of it once so put Adrenaline back on instead.

I am sure it could help in the right scenario but I find other perks far more useful to be taking up a slot instead. Never tried Boil Over so no comment on that.
