When in a chase you wanna go to a window/pallet anyways and that extra speed is really helpful, it's very underrated imo. It's not necessarily supposed to help you escape but it helps reach a different loop.
Plus combined with quick and quiet is pretty neat.
2) Lithe
3) Sprint Burst
4) Adrenaline
5) Dead Hard
I don't consider Adrenaline an exhaustion perk.

Dead Hard is one of the worst, if not the worst, Exhaustion perks. It's technically a one-use perk against good killers because once you use it, they'll bait you into using it to get that free hit. And it's so temporary, but it's a lifesaver in situational moments (a killer is swinging at you while they have someone on their shoulder). I consider Lithe better than DH because Lithe provides 3 seconds of a boost trying to get you to a new location/loop.

Sorry I've got to stop right there, for some reason my keyboard isn't working properly.
Balanced Landing
Dead Hard
Lithe
Sprint Burst (best exhaustion perk for newbies though)
I don't consider Adrenaline to be an exhaustion perk. It gives you a speed boost and causes exhaustion, but it's primary purpose is to heal you when the gates power.
Assuming good ping:
SWF:
Adrenaline
Balanced Landing
Dead Hard
Sprint Burst
Lithe

Dead hard is the best perk imo since its the only exhaustion perk that actually helps you vs the best killer in the game nurse. Its also very powerful way to bait a killer into swinging into a pallet stun which will allow you to remove there bloodlust.
Balanced landing whilst situational opens up so many obnoxious loops houses drop down points the game, haddonfield map with bl is devastatingly powerful.
Sprint burst this perk has the downside of making you walk a lot to conserve it but against stealth builds it will allow you to avoid getting hit if your caught off guard.
Lithe is a solid perk but having it only activate in chase hurts its flexibility. When running t walls it encourages you to leave instead of making full use of your t walls which is problematic as well.
you got it backwards
I was ranking them in the original post I just listed them in alphabetical order so people know which perks I'm talking about.
I mean DH and Lithe are situational too if you want to get technical. And every map has at least 1 drop down point. The only map you don't want to get with BL is Shelter Woods because the only drop down points are basement steps and the tree (which is unreliable BTW). But it makes a HUGE difference on some maps like Haddonfield or Game.
I didn't realize obsession = exhaustion.
Either sarcasm too or "whooosh".
I'm in a sarcastic mood. I dunno why lol
Does lithe let you vault faster or dead hard let you gain additional bonuses only balanced landing continuously makes it so you take little to no stun from falling which massively extends and improves the power of the aforementioned loops. Also how the hell is dead hard situational its designed to be used anywhere to give you extra distance to reach that pallets or vault. lIthe requires you still be in chase and you cant time when you use it unless you avoid vaulting till you need it which is sub optimum.any where theres a drop down balanced landing will extend the surrounding loops as a result.Coal tower, the house on azarovs resting place,badham houses, preschool etc. Sheltered woods is undeniably the worst map for this perk 100% agree. However the number of maps it massively helps makes it imo the second best perk in the game.
Adrenaline
Balanced Landing
Dead Hard
Sprint Burst
Lithe
This is the most accurate one for me but I prefer having dead hard over balanced landing. It helps me a lot
I do not count Adrenaline as an Exhaustion Perk. Therefore I would not rank it with the other Perks. But if I would do it, it would come in second for me.
(2. Adrenaline, but see above)
Dead Hard--> Gives a second chance, but I feel it is not as useful as Balanced Landing for me. I feel that the Skill Cap around Dead Hard is quite high, both for KIllers and Survivors. Dead Hard is really good vs bad Killers, but not as good when the Killer is good. Same goes for Survivors, sometimes I see really strange Dead Hards. Also it can be read quite easily.
Lithe-->I used to like it more, but overall it helps to get away, but not to loop, which should be the Number 1 goal. Also the Trigger is strange, sometimes I did not get Lithe even though I was 100% sure I would get it.
Sprint Burst-->For me the worst Exhaustion Perk. Way better when it recovered, but I really do not want to save my Sprint Burst and only walk around the Map, to have it ready when I get chased by the Killer.
Almost my exact thoughts except replace BL with Lithe and SB with adrenaline
Balanced Landing (Extra bonus even when exhausted)
Sprint Burst (Easiest to use, let's you get out of bad positions)
Lithe (for some reason my favorite, Reliable but only chase... REMOVE the "chase only" part!!!!)
Adrenaline (extremely situational, but most powerful when it works)
Adrenaline
Lithe
Sprint Burst
Dead Hard
Adrenaline is where it is for me since there's no guarantee you're actually going to get use out of it.
Balanced Landing is above it because the recovery time, while fractions of seconds, is enough to quite literally save your ass on multiple occasions.
I put Lithe over Sprint Burst mostly due to play style. I like being able to run around the map and not waste my cooldown. That said they're both just a matter of preference.
Dead Hard is Russian Roulette. You're either going to get decent use out of it or it's going to screw you over. I've taken on at least two upper level streamers last month who attempted to Dead Hard against me and it didn't activate and only gave them the Exhaustion debuff. Even IF you manage to get it to work, there's only a few select times you're going to be able to get anything really profitable from your perk slot investment. Thus I put it at the bottom.
1.) Balanced Landing (where usable)
2.) Sprint Burst (versatile)
3.) Lithe
4.) Dead Hard
I wouldn't call Adrenaline an exhaustion perk, and Lithe has some issues. Depending on your perk preference, it can be better than Sprint Burst.
