When do you use Iri add-ons?

3 years ago by chemslayer to c/deadbydaylight

Title. I'm relatively new to the game, only a few weeks in. I can see the power of Iridescent add-ons (silent bell as Wraith?? Woof!), but they are so expensive and rare I have no idea when to actually use them. I'd "save" them for an important game, but... it's always just random opponents, so I have no idea if the Iri would be good or if I would stomp/get stomped either way and it's a waste. Curious to hear from people who do use them, when do you decide to do it?

I'm in kind of the same boat as you, fairly new and hoarding atm. My take is that its best to stick to less powerfull add-ons until you're very comfortable with the normal mechanics and then start using the ones that change up the mechanics more. That said, I don't think there really is a right answer. Maybe throw them on for games where you are close to going up a grade, or for games where you're running a good blood point offering like bloody party streamers. Just make sure you dont hoard them forever, it probably feels pretty bad to be a Billy with add-ons that were great before their changes, but only mediocre now

Huh didnt think about grade, that at least sorta makes sense. And I do agree that mastering (or at least getting good at) a char first is best, both so as not to waste the Iri and so you don't use it as a crutch. But then again, maybe the crutch would be good for while you're learning?

All I know is revealing survivors when they get slipstreamed would be huge tech, but I still have a while to go before I feel skilled enough to spend it lol
