Rainbow Perk Scaling
The new perk system allows for more possibilities, but regardless of what you do, you probably don't want a sea of weak perks. This is where rainbow perks come in, scaling up other perks. These perks can apply to each other as well, allowing for perks to be applied three or four times. This guide outlines a few templates I've come up with that may be of help as starting points for any build.
NOTE: I've labeled and shown these such that King perks are only placed adjacent to the Nationalist perk. However, you could also place King perks adjacent to Verticalist, where these examples only show Generic perks. This might be useful in, for example, The Generalist setup to spread out boosts to four total King perks.
