Demo Dog mains why should I buy?

Title says it all. Why should I pick up the Demo? How are it's offerings and add-ons? I'm literally flying blind here

    cause you can shred people and he has a nice morri

  • Head Monchies.

    Also *Thump thump thump* around the map.


    What makes his offerings great is that his best addons imo are all lower tier and much more common; but in return his actual rare addons are not very good. I mean having a very long "Undetectable" period is really strong except for the fact your footsteps are so loud you can be heard from so far away anyways it doesn't help at all.

    Shred is really fun, because you can cancel it anytime without consequence. It's bugged though which sucks because you can't like, lunge from a platform and surprise someone, or attack them on stairs and such when elevated you just bounce off them and deal no damage- which is lame.

    Honestly the best reason to get him is if you like M1 killers and like the fact you get to be an actual monster, because he feels like he should and it's a lot of fun; but if you prefer more technical killers or killers that require less multi tasking and awareness he may not be for you.

    Demogorgon visually pretty well-made. Very familiar to original.

    As for power: map control is good thing. In theory, Demogorgon is one of the best totem protector, since you can detect survivors near portal (this works only when you hissing and portal is activated, tho). Shrek Shred works nice on some loops. You can also cause some mindgames with it.

    Well, Demo has his downsides. His perks are very situational. Mostly, Surge is somewhat usable. It could be stacked with Surveillance and Thrilling tremors for some gimmicks.

    The other downside is that you can't destroy portals: only survivors can do it. Its also takes some time to place them properly. You want them to be close to gens, so you can clearly see where survs are. At the same time, you want hide them behind something, for those 3 secs of undetectable status. So, he kinda like trapper in that sense. From the other hand, you can use 3 gens strat every time, no matter where gens are.

    Addons... Too many of them. Check wiki, if you need info. Imho, the best are for longer sealing - buys free time and longer undetectable status - for free hits. But it's just my personal opinion.

    He is not addon reliant at all, and he has some cool little features like being able to control STBFL stacks. His shred is very useful when you learn to use it, and eventually you'll find yourself using it a lot around loops and getting a lot of hits because of it. You can also get plenty of free hits by faking his Shred and it comes in handy when zoning because of his ability to break pallets through shred. Not to mention, he has added map pressure because of his portals. Should you use addons, his travel speed addons are likely his best ones. Mews Guts is also a nice addon to have. He is a powerful killer in the right hands, and I'd place him at the bottom of A tier right behind Huntress. He has no problem with BP, and you'll find yourself getting a lot of 29K+ games. All and all, he's a fun but powerful killer to use, I highly recommend buying him.

  • This guy knows his stuff; everything he said is pretty accurate. Deer lung and rat liver are also good low tier add ons as well; if you use rat liver you move at like 101% move speed when charging your of-the-abyss so it's technically faster xD

    reasons to buy demogorgon is because he is the most balanced killer as a survivor he is honestly the most balanced killer to play against don't know why he just is. His teleporting ability is nice for map pressure and his shred ability is godly given the right timing. His visuals are nice and is Mori is cool

    2 of his perks are pretty good

    Mine breaker isn't that good it's is only good against someone who is running Sprint burst and even then the exhaust it only works for like 2 seconds

    He's pretty good

    He's not that good imo. None of Demo's perks are worthwhile in their current state just to start. Cruel limits only really pairs well with tinkerer, and many maps have too few windows. Mindbreaker gives exhaustion for 3 seconds... makes Sprint burst stronger. Surge regresses gens by a whopping 8%, but there are rumors that it does synergize with pop goes the wheesel in some way shape or form. Demo's power can be pretty fun once you start experimenting. I'd put him in the mid tier, on par with pig. His power is not too strong, but he has a high enough skill ceiling to be serviceable (bonus points for save the best for last, shred let's you keep all your stacks, definitely his best perk).

    I love playing Demogorgon. I am still learning but his shred jump is very nice. It makes Demogorgon not just an M1 killer.

    He can cut distance easily and break pallets on the go. This makes him very solid during chases.

    His ability to traverse will come handy during the late game to have a good map control. You can also use it to gain additional control over the places of importance such as totems for example. If you put a portal near the totem you can occasionally check if there are any survivors defusing your totem (I rarely do that myself though).

    I'm currently playing with Make your Choice perk and I try to teleport as soon as unhook happens. This can be very nasty especially if you get to play around the basement.

    Sometimes during the mid game, if survivors are really good, I will try to pick 3 generators which in a close proximity of each other and control them with teleports. Pair it with PGTW and survivors will definitely have a bad time.

    I play with two brown add-ons which affect his shred jump.

    He is a very dynamic and fun killer to play. I love how he looks and sounds (finally new chase music). I used to main Myers but after some time I learned that M1 walking killers simply won't win optimal survivor stacks. Demogorgon, however, can win them and still be fun.

    I appreciate everyone's replies. Sadly I'm at work and can't reply to each and every one here.


    I think I'll pick Demo up and give em a try tomorrow night when I'm off work. His shred definitely seems like something that can be fun to use and I'm all for mindgames.

    Thanks again!
