The Slasher Counter (Patch 10.0.0)

Whenever any Survivor is hooked, Kindred activates and applies the following effects:

If you are the Hooked Survivor, the Auras of all Survivors are revealed to each other.
If you are not the Hooked Survivor, the Auras of all other Survivors are only revealed to you.

Why it works

Wide Open Throttle gives 10/12.5/15% Haste for 3 seconds after a fast vault, plus resets and blocks the pallet for 60 seconds - the chase extend you need when the Slasher is in Omnipresent Evil. Lend a Hand (once per trial per Survivor) lets you give 2/3/4 permanent healing charges to a teammate after blessing or cleansing a totem - the team heals from base kit without medkits. Cross-Examination reveals the Killer's light marks in their terror radius, granting Elusive (untrackable in chase) for 3/4/5 seconds - a direct counter to The Slasher's footstep reveal and Mist Cloud detection. Kindred rounds out with the teamplay info. The build is fresh, powerful, and the meta answer to a brand-new Killer.
