Our take

Blind attempts are the trigger: a Survivor who tries to blind you has their Aura revealed to you for 6/8/10 seconds, and you gain immunity from Flashlights, Firecrackers, Flash Grenades and Blast Mine. The attempt has to actually happen first, so an aggressive Survivor that never throws anything gets nothing.

How to use it This earns a slot against a team that actually uses flash items, where the immunity alone justifies it. Against a patient team that never blinds you, the reveal half never fires.

Best for Bloodhound and Beast of Prey read a Survivor Aura, and Lightborn gives you one free of charge each time someone tries to blind you. Dark Sense or A Nurse's Calling covers the rest of the slot.
