Why it works

Eruption's explosion triggers on the first Survivor you hook, regressing every gen they or anyone nearby was repairing. Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance then regresses the gen where the Scourge Hook is, again. Grim Embrace then reveals a Survivor and regresses all gens when triggered. Pop Goes the Weasel gives you 30% extra regression on the next kick. After a single hook, you've regressed 4+ gens. The snowball is real: by mid-trial, Survivors can be staring at 5 regressing gens with no time to recover. Weak against coordinated totem-hunting or fast gen-rush teams.
