Pretty good IMO.

Hello Guys, Rank 1 Flex killer player here :)

First up the build I think get most value out of him:

Monitor and abuse --> 16m terror radius when it matters

BBQ --> Always good for BP and finding the next target + somwhat information about Gen status

Safe the best for last --> whith 6-8 stacks I consider him a 1 hit KO killer

Nurses calling --> 12 meters to see healing survivors without them knowing youre there

So I played the new killer a lot and i want to share my thoughts on him:

  • He is TERRIBLE at gen pressure. Honestly I dont even care about gens with him. Just let them go its other things he is really good at.
  • He Ends chases quick. And i mean extremely quick. STBFL helps out immensely. The trick is to get an M1 attack first and then quick spear them for a 5 seconds chase. Also if you see your obsession try to spear them and just let the chain break. Its a hit without losing STBFL stacks.
  • He can Punish healing extremely well. You see them self caring in a corner? Ez they wont know youre there until a spear looks out of their chest.
  • He makes survivors act overaltruistic. They often try to break your chain to safe a teammate, but if you hit them or the speared one, most times its a stack for STBFL so you take it.
  • He synergises with NOED. I know many people dont like it, but if youre practicing him you can bring noed for better results. Youll miss many shots at first but youll get better and noed rewards every shot at the end of the game. Also its anty bullying because creless survivors cant get out after being noed speared.
  • He can counter many loops. For example the autoheaven cars. You can quick scope over them and get a hit. Pallets are not that big of a threat, just learn which ones are un mindgamable and break them instantly. Also Healty survivors dont get any kind of safety by pallets. sure you get stunned, but its a hit either way.
  • He is extremely stealty. Try to approach by an unusual angle, when survivors hear your terror radius they know youre like arround the next corner. Often they run into the false direction right into you.
  • He is good at rotten fields. Nice to have a killer who cant get bamboozled by this ######### corn. (PS4 btw it is worse then on PC)
  • He is slow. Thats a down and the reason his gen pressure is so bad, especially on big maps.
  • High skill = high reward. You have to land most of your shots tbh, if you struggle with this and dont have NOED youll get genrushed and 0 kills. If you do well youll get genrushed too, but at least you get your kills. So you will have to sweat with him, its not billy.
  • Survivors will make huge mistages trying to dodge your spear. They will Dead hard early ( just tap the aim down sights button and it will work often) and they will try to zigzag --> in this case you can catch up even with 4.4m/s and just M1 them.
  • He can be looped at jungle gyms with high walls.
  • He denies Windows such as the one in shack.

So all in all I have to say im really happy with the new killer. He will be even better when maps are fixed.

Suggestions:

I wish he had an 7k BP add on where he can perform actions while he has someone speared (Break pallet, vault window)

Also i think a down should be rewarded with the harpoon automatically reloading. Could also happen when you hook somebody.
