It's not your time yet. Now go on! - Taurie Cain

Description

Born to be a disciple. Ready to submit to a greater cause. This is your calling.
Once per Trial, and while you are not on Death Hook, press the Active Ability button while standing in front of a Hooked Survivor to unhook them and trigger the following effects:
- Trade 1 Hook State with the other Survivor to their benefit.
- Causes you to scream.
- Causes you to suffer from the Exposed Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds.
"It's not your time yet. Now go on!" - Taurie Cain

Our take

Once per Trial you can step in front of a hooked teammate, unhook them and take one Hook State yourself, and the trade works in their favour. The price is a scream plus the Exposed Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds, and it does not work from a Death Hook.

How to use it One use per Trial means it has to be spent on a rescue that would otherwise be lost. Not worth a slot if you expect to go down on a Death Hook instead.

Best for Kindred is the same trade from the other side, and Borrowed Time pairs with it when the unhook needs protecting. Run this when your survival is worth more than theirs for one Hook.
