Description

The Land of the Shadows subsumes all. Healing only delays the inevitable.
- Whenever a Survivor performs a Healing action while they are inside your Terror Radius, that Survivor suffers from the Blindness and Exhausted Status Effects
- These effects linger for 6/8/10 seconds after the Healing action is interrupted by any means.

Our take

Exhaustion perk. Exhaustion perks are the backbone of any chase build. They give a one-shot burst of speed, after which you are locked out of other exhaustion perks for a duration.

How to use it Septic Touch is at its best when used to break line of sight - drop a pallet first, vault, then trigger it. Avoid using it at the start of a chase or in open ground where the Killer will just swing through it.

Best for Solo queue survivors who need a reliable chase escape. Pairs with any build that gives you pallet or vault value to extend the chase after the speed burst ends.
