It's for applying a large burst of repair progress to a more dangerous gen, especially to break a "3-gen" situation where the final set of gens are all near each other.

You're meant to almost finish a safe gen, then start building tokens with it. If the Killer comes close, then you can resume normal repairs to finish it and hide or run.

the perk was created to mimic the functioning of a BNP in the most balanced way possible, and as already mentioned, its best use would be to break a 3-gen situation (and others like bypassing Merciless Storm or instantly ending a gen when is at 80%).

It turns out that the perk was never meta, even when gen-slowdown was constantly used before the nerf, since potential energy does not have a 1:1 ratio in the time it takes to accumulate the tokens and runs the risk of when finally accumulated, the killer hit you, causing the tokens to be lost.

Anyway, in short, an extremely situational perk, which on paper would even work, but in practice, especially around SoloQ (most lobbies), it doesn't fulfill its role, with perks that work much better in these situations like prove thyself.

Primary issue with the perk IMO because I use it a lot is that it relies on people not coming to your gen and finishing it while you're getting your stacks. I do think the perk is very good though with how often 3 gen scenarios happen, and it also completely invalidates the use of Tinkerer which I've seen a fair bit in recent games.
Definitely not a meta perk but one that could be ran if people want a solution to 3 gens.

Edit: Rate is 30% progress on the gen you're gaining stacks on to put 20% on another gen instantly.
