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?
As you get experience in the game, they’re sort of “use whenever”. Some of them on some killers are broadly considered overpowered, like Myers’ Judith’s Tombstone addon, so some people regard them as less prestige for victory (and they’re banned in tournaments).
Ultimately, you’d need practice to figure out the best way to use them, so you may as well just play them and see what they combo well with.
