Is huntress worth learning?
I have her level 5 since i never play her and i get gen rushed everygame and only reason i get 4ks is cause the survivors get too confident so i manage to get a 4man slug. She feels very powerful but is she worth learning? I have more fun playing as her then my current main whos billy

A 4man slug.
That just tastes bad in my mouth. 🤢
Don't play Huntress if you're going to play her like that. She is a queen. She deserves better.

Yes. More rewarding to play as and practically inescapable whenever you reach god tier level huntress main.

I dont like doing it but its not my fault all 4 survivors go for the unhook at the same time. I dont have my perks on her yet so i cant "apply pressure" which is why i have to rely on snowballing

I don't play her much either, but I'm playing her now due to the rift and she's a blast. You'll get the hang of the hatchets soon! Once you do, it's so fun sniping people from a distance.

play how you want don't let the survivors tell you how to play. Its the most ass backwards way of thinking why would you let your opponent play for you.

Sure? Every killer is worth learning, variety is the spice of life

Well its because i play both sides so i try to be as nice as possible plus 4man slugs give less bp and pips and im trying to reach r1 and i need bp to level up my level 5 huntress

Depending on your rank, you do technically need perks in order to cover up some of the fact that you're learning her. If you're on Xbox, I can also help you practice and I need to learn her too.
But yes. Totally worth learning. The most balanced killer in the game and one of the most unique by FAR.

Huntress is strong when it comes to 1 v 1 -ing and punishing crowded survivors thanks to her quick hatchet cooldown. However if people use their brain, do gens separately and don't go down quickly you will struggle every now and then even with perfect aim due to 110% mobility especially if you get a big map with many "closed pallets" (no los).
She's fun to play as but can quickly become frustrating when your aim is rusty. Also you have to control yourself even more than with other killers because if you run out of hatchets and still decide to go after someone you're literally just a HUGE hag without traps.

Yeah, uh. Which one?
You'll be looking for Reaper Andross, Silent Sausag or MidKnight#4342
I'll be on a bit later and usually play pretty late. Reaper is my main account, and the other two are just because I had issues syncing up my 360 account to a Microsoft account and I didn't want to leave them there. And I have other people who occasionally play, but they're ranks 19/20.

She's pretty unique and has her 1-2 combo for nearly instant downs. A short range hatchet followed by a basic attack for that super short cooldown double whammy. She's definitely more of a snowball character than a gen pressure character given how slow she is though. Sounds like you got the snowballing down though. She's probably one of the best killers if you are experienced enough. She can also beat down toxic bully squads pretty well which is always nice.

Id suggest getting monitor and abuse teachable from doctor if youre a huntress beginner. You will catch so many players off guard its not even funny

Ok I'll add you on my alt account sense im too lazy to log onto my main account but i cant play for a day or two since im a bit busy

I started playing her because of the rift and she's a lot of fun. It feels really good to hit hatchets, whether the survivor you're chasing is up close or really far away. I'm putting a lot of bloodpoints to level her up so that I don't have to rely on iridescent head for her 4k challenge.

Definitely. Getting good on Huntress and landing long distance hatchets is some of the most satisfying gameplay in DBD imo.

I like Huntress too and I think she'd be worth learning to use.
I personally just have bad aim so I'll never be very good with her or Tex.
It's much like other high skill killers, the better you are with them, the better your results will be and only practice will let you improve.

When some survivor forgets what killer they're facing and out of habit starts teabagging after dropping a pallet and you chuck an axe at their face, there's just no better feeling. 😂

What i did was play a bunch of games refusing to m1. Didnt care if i won or lost. Just wanted to learn some aim and how hatchets worked. Im still not great (thats why i prefer smgs over snipers in most games) but i got to where i can hit people.
Also ignore add ons that mess with windup time. You dont really need them and do want to get muscle memory down.

Shes extremely fun to play with a unlimited skill cap thanks to hatchets. A lot of players use hatchets solely for confirmed hits which makes her mediocre, but once you experiment what you can throw over or through small gaps Huntress really starts to shine.
The more you play her the better you get at hatchets and realize she has some incredibly powerful maps, some average maps, and bad maps. Yet even on bad maps you can always get shots and confirmed hits. While shes not the best on these maps a good Huntress can easily dominate a situation.
Confirmed hits are vaults and pallets drops or any other action that forces a guaranteed hit.

When you watch the likes of Umbra, Zubat, and Ralph it shows how rewarding it is if you learn her well.

It's worth it if you enjoy playing as her. You have to give it some time to actually know if in the end she's your cup of tea.
She could be a bit map dependent and at level 5 you will run into some difficulties not having a proper build. She has a bit of a learning curve, my advice is to be patient with your hatchets and don't over use them at short loops that you can't throw over. Also, I shouldn't be saying this, but a huge part of mastering hatchets is learning how to abuse the hitboxes, so you use them to your advantage.

I find her worth it for those satisfying distant shots.
0 -
Wait you actually approve of the use of the holes people can shoot through?
I always figured was a keep quiet scenario.
0 -
Why wouldn't they?
As long as it's an intentional hole and not some sort of error in the geometry that lets you chuck through solid walls or something. The holes aren't there accidentally.

Still dont understand why you cant throw through an open window if you're too close to it

Fair enough. It's not like it was well talked about or something many even realized was possible task. I only figured because of my personality and when I thought I was getting good someone showed me how many places I had missed. I had always thought it was the see no evil, speak no evil, devs hear no evil kind of situation.
It's the angle from my experience.
See my reply to Peanits for the same reply I was going to give you when he replied.

The mentality comes from how killers are expected.to.behave on the forums and via postgame chat

I would say no. Huntress is great for noob stomping for sure. Which you do get plenty of games like that. But against really good loopers she just gets owned.
If you get good with her she can probably be rewarding. But I just never use the pallet and every huntress just stops and winds up a hatchet and gets looped on the same spot another 2-3 times. But I don't know... maybe there's a lot of survivors that don't know how to play against her as well. I just feel like against good teams they're going to make you feel like crap.

Killers tell survivors to git gud all the time just like survivors tell killers to git gud on the fourms.
post game i get called toxic for a flashlight save just like how i get called toxic for slugging as billy
both sides are expected to behave but both dont
1 -
She seems too map dependent to me personally. It's why I'm never touching her again after this Rift.
1 -
I can usually tell if a survivor is good from there movment and awarness so i can decide whether there gonna throw the pallet or not which gets me free hits if they throw it or if they dont
0 -
shes extremely fun and rewarding once you get the muscle memory down with her hatchets
also, most definitely one of the hardest killers to learn- theres a lot of depth to her if you wanna learn how to do extremely cool shots and things to throw over/through
0 -
I know she is powerful, but I don't have fun with her. I think that in loops she is horrible + her mobility just sucks. She is only powerful when in open fields.
And practicing aim is hard as ######### with her.
If you really like the character and her playstyle main her, if don't, you'll get frustrated.

Shes easily a top killer in the right hands but shes is very map dependent. In door maps are her bain as well as maps with almost exclusively high loops like rotten cowshed. She also suffers pretty badly against corn blindness, but on maps with wide open areas and low loop wall shes very strong maps like bloodlodge and azuroths resting are her favorites, though azuroths is probably the best killer map in the game with how easy it is to 3 gen that map.

Playing and learning new Killers is a way to learn how to play against them too when you're a Survivor. It's good to learn every Killer even just for that.
