Killer metas

I would love to be involved in knowing what is meta so i can start checking and building off meta in order to see if there is a better alternative. Could someone give me the meta perks of all killers so i can begin this? Ty in advance.

    Corrupt intervention and pop goes the weasel are really the only meta killer perks right now. Everything else is down to the specific killer and personal preference.

    Enduring+Spirit Fury is a good (but well known) combo for many killers

    Infectious Fright is nice

    Pop Goes the Weasel and Corrupt intervention are good for slowdown.

    Michael's perks are good.

    Usual meta perks are: BBQ, Nurse's Calling, Pop goes the Weasel, Infectious Fright, Monitor&Abuse, Enduring, Spirit Fury and Discordance.

    Feel free to add some, i'm sure i forget one or two.

    Not too keen on what is currently meta but I know Pop Goes The Weasel and Corrupt Intervention are very prominent.

    I can give general build tips:

    Bring one slowdown. You'll have diminishing returns with more than one slowdown because your chase or tracking will be too bad to benefit from the slowdown if the survivors are decent. Pop or Corrupt, though I greatly prefer Pop.

    Whether you load up on chase or tracking perks depends on preference or killer choice. Enduring, Spirit Fury, Nurses, Discordance, BBQ, Whispers, Thrilling Tremors are all solid. Bamboozle and Brutal Strength are ok, but situational. Pairing Bamboozle with Fire Up can lead to some hilarious results.

    I started plsying without pop on stronger killers because i dont want to be reliant on it when it gets nerfed :/

    Ive found thrilling tremors to be a pretty dope replacement

    Really? I see thrilling as more of a support perk than anything. It pinpoints which gen to go kick with pop after you hooked someone, with more accuracy than BBQ.

    The strongest killers I usually am loaded up on tracking perks instead of slowdown perks. Whispers is just so good for instant pressure within the first 20~ seconds of the game starting. I know it's not needed, but it's nice to not spend more than a few seconds searching empty areas of the map. Especially when it's not uncommon to lose a gen within the first minute of the game starting (which I time with corrupt), you need to be in a chase right off the bat. Here's probably my favorite 'strong' killer build:

    The next best slowdown to pop is probably sloppy butcher. New ruin is OK on high mobility killers as well, but suffers from the same problem as old ruin (dying in the first 30 seconds of the game).

    I just meant for the perk slot. Im not saying its anywhere near as strong as pop. Ive been enjoying using it. That said, i see survivors hanging out next to a blocked gen all tge tine with bbq, so it is wasting SOME time

    There's no way the Devs would ever want to nerf Pop goes the weasel.It's a perfectly balanced perk and doesn't need any changes like 99% of all the other perks.

    Killers don't really have blanket meta perks. Even the strongest perks in the game (corrupt, pop, infectious, BBQ, etc) are killer dependant. That's why so many people ask for the best builds for individual killers: they play so differently, require different aspects to compliment their powers...

    Well, just because Infectious/Monitor is good on Myers and Plague doesn't mean it's good on Ghostface and Huntress.
