Why it works

Blast Mine (Jill Valentine) lets you arm a generator to explode in the Killer's face when they kick it, blinding and stunning them for several seconds. Exultation (Trevor Belmont) upgrades your held item's rarity every time you stun the Killer with a pallet - a single chase can take a medkit from brown to purple. Any Means Necessary (Yui Kimura) lets you reset a dropped pallet with the active ability button, denying the Killer the break and extending chases. Head On (Jane Romero) lets you stun the Killer by rushing out of a locker while Exhausted. Together, you have stuns from pallets, lockers, and generators - the Killer can never relax.
