What is your favorite addon combo?

I'll just give a general list for each killer, but I'm curious to know what yours are. Keep in mind I play on Xbox, so if, for instance, I say I'm bad at Nurse/Hag, that's the reason why.

Trapper: Trapper Bag + Logwood Dye: Extra traps are kind of mandatory, although using the purple addon is a bit overkill imo, while logwood dye, while not overpowered, can be quite good. Especially on Coldwind Farm. It's just the right color as most of the floor texture, so it's very hard to see on the ground, and so it gives me an edge on the worst maps for killers.

Wraith: I guess All Seeing Rune (purple) + Coxcomb... but I don't play wraith a lot. I don't really know.

Billy: I like the Doom Engravings + Death Engravings. I don't down people with my saw very well, but I do love zooming around the map at a blink of an eye.

Nurse: Matchbox + Plaid Cloth: I'm bad as nurse, so I need the crutch of Plaid cloth, and Matchbox makes me a bit faster, so if my blink fails, I can still have a chance.

Myers: I have two, Infinite Tombstone Myers, and J. Myers Memorial + Judith Journal. Infinite Tombstone Myers is a bit more fun to me than normal myers, but I really like the Obsession build as well, where you almost have T3 up infinitely due to how quickly you can get it when you run those two with Furtive chase.

Hag: I am actually really fond of the Waterlogged Shoe + Willow Wreath combo. I don't like playing normal hag, so I use the traps as information gatherers. I set them up in places survivors go to, then when they trigger I make my way over with the aura reading helping me locate them. Most people don't realize I have the second addon, although they may figure I have the first one.

Doctor: Iri King + any range addon. I love the Red King. It's such a good addon. Every affliction (minus exhaustion) on a survivor, the only downside being you have to zap them 7 times to get them all? That's really good. Amazingly good. You'll never lose them if you zap them the minimum amount, and they'll never know what you have, so they'll keep guessing.

Huntress: I'm actually a fan of the Oak Haft + Flower Babushka. The decreased cooldown plus the decreased windup is very useful for me.

Bubba: Beast Marks + Carburetor Tuning guide. Bubba isn't good. But these two addons 1. counter some of his problems, and 2. make him a bigger threat. His biggest problems are his charge up and his slowdown. Beast marks makes you faster, while the tuning guide gets rid of the downside of the marks by speeding up your charge time.

Freddy: On old freddy, I would've just said the old range addons, but now on new Freddy, I'll say that I like the Outdoor Rope + Prototype Claws. I'm not a fan of snares, but I can still use them. I also don't like the scummy way Swing Chains works, but I do appreciate some slowdown.

Pig: Combat Straps + Video Tape. The traps are never useful enough for me, so I have to rely on my own ability to get survivors off gens. These two enhance the stealth and ambush abilities. However, I do like Combat straps + Amanda's Letter as well.

Clown: Thick Cork Stopper + Solvent Jug. Causing Exhaustion during a chase is an amazing thing. So is reloading faster, since Clown's bottles are all he has.

Spirit: I'm a fan of the Hairpiece and any movement speed addon. This allows me to pretend to phase then quickly catch up with survivors who walk away. I'll know where they are and be able to react quickly. I guess the being able to phase quickly part is what appeals about both addons.

Legion: Iri Button + Etched Ruler or Green Sketchbook + Etched Ruler. The cooldown reduction for Frenzy is very useful. I play legion a lot so I can say for certain that the Ruler addons are very good. Iri button isn't good because of it's ability to break pallets, which is what it's often praised for. It's true brilliant part to it is the map wide TR and KI readings. Knowing where every survivor is after stabbing one survivor with Frenzy allows you to make desicions that can make or break a game... which is what legion thrives on. However, if you see them on the edge of your TR with the sketchbook, then you will actually be able to catch up to them easily. In essence, Iri button is for more awareness, while Green Sketchbook is to be able to apply pressure more easily to multiple survivors.

Plague: Black Incense + Any Apple (preferably green though). This addon combo is very dirty, but I love it. It forces the survivors to realize: They're in a damned if they do, damned if they don't situation. Either they stay broken with the ability for her to track you 24/7, or you cleanse, hurting the rest of your team... not to mention that if you're all broken, I can give myself a corrupt purge at any time, and down you quickly. If you use the green addon, there's a bonus of extra infection time on objects, which can actually give you some information. If you know what is still infected an see survivors get infected, then you'll know where to go and find them. That part of plague's kit is vastly underappreciated in my opinion.

Ghostface: Chewed Pen + Knife Sheath. Faster Night shroud is very useful. I always crouch when in Night Shroud, so that's why I bring it. I'm not too fussed if people break me out, since by that time they're usually exposed.

Demogorgon: Thorny Vines and Mew's Guts. I use my portals as information sources, so I put them at active totems and gens I want to protect and activate them as quickly as possible. Mew's guts gives an extra portal, and thorny vines not only lengthens the time taken to destroy one, but also increases each portals information range. Mew's Guts also has the benefit of faster recovery on missed shred attacks, which is useful in a chase as well.


I think you can tell what killers I play more than others. XD

I'm curious to see what you all use.
