Fun but viable-ish killer builds?

I’ll toss a couple out as ideas, but basically looking for builds on any or all killers that can be fun, but not get super stomped by a competent team. A hardcore SWF will probably trouble you but those are rare honestly.

Any killer with BBQ, spies from the shadows, in all ears and Whispers. Whispers will get you in the right area and from there the other perks will let you find and chase. No slowdown so don’t whine if you get rushed hard. Luckily the circle of hook, save, repeat can slow them down.

Varuous killers with Tinkerer, dark devotion, and distressing your terror radius will go from large to non existsent... throw this on Pig or GF for laughs

    It depends on the Killer you choose. I think any build with Trapper is fun just because I think trying to outsmart the Survivors with trap placement is fun. It’s always delicious when you get an over confident Survivor thinking they escaped and Snap!

    Holy Protector of the Divine Chest Bubba can be fun when it works. Insidious is a must and just sit in the basement until one of the infidels attempt to desecrate your Divine Chest.

    This is the kind of game where people really can’t tell you what is fun, you have to make your own.

    One thing I recently read was how fun Michael is with his wall hack ability to just jump scare Survivors. It may not be super viable, but it is fun. Also, some Survivors throw themselves at Daddy Michael, giving him easy kills, because his raw masculinity is just too difficult to resist.

    I agree, my fun builds wouldn’t be fun for everyone. Mirror Myers is fun but I hate wasting map offerings now with people just DCing.

    Myers just with Monitor and abuse alone can be fun enough in my opinion.

    Man, when I want to have fun, I just go into a match without a care in the world. I’ll pick Doctor just to cause Survivors to repeatedly scream. So I just chase them around without hitting them. The reactions you get from Survivors when they realize you’re not trying to kill them can be really funny.

    May favorite thing to do is a fun technique with Hag. I just place all of my traps in one location and wait to hear the poor David that runs through them scream over and over. It’s just so funny to me.

    I would do the same with when I hook someone but I’ve noticed people tend to suicide when I put more than 4 traps around their hook.

    Next time you suspect a Flashlight bully squad, try this

    • Lightborn: Immune to flashlights plus see the aura of people trying to blind you
    • Agitation: Carry people at a movement speed faster than survivors run
    • Mad Grit: Can attack pretty much without penalty while carrying survivors
    • Iron Grasp: Survivors take much longer to wiggle free

    Then when you down someone and they inevitably run in for a Flashlight save, just chase and hit them while carrying the person. “Viable” is an exaggeration but “Fun” probably isn’t. 😄
