A build with Dead man's Switch that no one really thought about

Yes, I know, Spirit with DMS and Prayer Beads. Yes, Freddy with DMS and Class Photo. But what about this:

Legion+ Iridescent Button+ Stolen Sketch Book. And for perks: Dead Man's Switch+ Nemesis+ BBQ+ whatever you want seriously.

So after you hook your Obsession, you immediately go for a survivor thanks to BBQ and FF them and then, Iridescent Button comes into play, because once they hear your TR everywhere, they'll leave the gen and Dead Man's Switch would block the gen.

I am not saying this build is better than Fredy's, but it's a build that could work and doesn't get a lot of attention I believe. Do you think this could work?

    Once you realize legion has iri button there's little reason to just leave the gen, especially when Legion in Feral Frenzy can't down you and can't grab you off a gen.

    Yeah that's the sad thing with most map wide terror radius add-ons. Any survivor purple rank and up will know after the first time you are running it and not care at all.

    I use it on Freddy normally and Doctor.

    People usually run away from a Doc as soon as they hear the TR, if they don't run then you can use your Static Blast to force them off Gens. It's also pretty nice.

    I have a DMS build on Oni that I really like

    DMS + Thrilling Tremors + Discordance (in case TT is still on cooldown) + Nemesis/Furtive chase

    Idea's good but it might not work against survivors who know what add-ons the legion is using.

    In my experience once a survivor understand you're using Iridescent Button they stop caring about the terror radius, so it might not work well with experienced players.

    Slightly off topic, but I found Furtive Chase better than Nemesis with this build, since once survivors guess your build they stop stunning or blinding you.

    Otz made a video for Dead Man Switch on Freddy. It's arguably sort of ok when combined with Class Photo (Can no longer teleport-cancel, but all gens spray blood and there's no Freddy husk when teleporting) to try and scare survivors off gens. Personally I think there's better options (as in, use a different perk) but Class Photo Freddy is probably the best use for DMS.


    ninja edit: Ah you already know about it.

    spine chill completely counters this and ive seen around 80 percent of survivors have spine chill in the past 2 days alone
