Pyramid head build

Options

My build for him to use him for the first time and will be my main.

Im all ears for aurora

Monitor and abused for terror radius

Stbfl for hitting fast

So last perk I need help to choose which gen regression is better ruin,pop,overcharged and surge but I don't like to use hex perks so maybe cut ruin out so which of the three is better to use.

    Probably pop cause overcharge is way too easy to hit for survivors, after twins come out I'd get her gen perk which damages 4 gens at once

    Ps: i use ruin with trapper place 2 traps to protect it and hope it isn't in middle of map exposed on all sides lol, but i feel ya all my hexes go within seconds

    This is what I usually run on him. I swap out infectious for i'm all ears or monitor sometimes.

    Infectious is really nasty for snowballing on him. You get someone tormented, down them, and then send them to a cage and can immediately go to the IF proc for your next chase. If you are doing extremely well, sometimes the person you are chasing through the IF proc will have no choice but to lead you to a cage, leading to an easy farm.

    Overcharge is trash. Surge is trash. I would honestly use trail of torment over either of those, the free hits it provides will give you more pressure.

    I would not use ruin by itself, it needs undying to be better than pop. But pop is mediocre on PH since you want to be using cages if you are ahead, hooking if you are behind.

    I mainly M2 so I don't find STBFL all that useful.

    I'm all ears can be really nice, but is wasted alot of the time and has a pretty huge cooldown.

    I always do range + rites of judgment duration add-ons, unless I want to play map control in which case I do recharge + trail duration.

    I was thinking trail of tormented but problem is not a gen regression perk and I don't use hex perks because it go away fast and I don't like to use the same perks people use but again I feel any aurora perks will work on him and Stbfl might be good on him like you say but monitor and abused is a must if I believe but sad part about him that he doesn't got a lot of good add one.

    BBQ is good for points but the other effect is not all that great

    I feel like the best build for p head would be the normal meta build atm.

    Discordance

    Undying

    Ruin

    tinkerer

    This works especially well on p head because he is so oppressive and is very good at staying in the flow of a match as long as he consistently torments survivors.

    My personal Build.

    • Hex: Ruin
    • Hex: Undying
    • BBQ and Chili
    • Tinkerer

    Ruin and Undying for obvious Reasons. Tinkerer allows me to not miss any Gens which are being worked on and makes me stealthy as well. I got many PotD hits trough walls even though he is very loud even when stealthy.

    BBQ for Points and a bit of info. I'll switch BBQ with Discordace once I got all Killers maxed out.

    again that is same boring perks that most killers use same go with survivors using DS and unbreakable but for me i like to play fresh and different not same as everyone play because it boring.

    Depends on your play style and who you face. If you're good at pressure and survivor juggling Ruin and pop are strong options. Neither of those help if they just gen rush though. In those cases Discordance is good. I'd also give tinkerer a try. Going undetectable and hitting people off the gen through the wall with his ranged attack feels super satisfying

    Build - Whispers / STBFL / Nurses Calling / Tinker (or swap out Tinker for Discordance)


    Whispers and Tinker (or swap out Tinker for Discordance) to help with his map pressure issues

    STBFL is always good

    Nurses Calling (or swap that out for I'm All Ears) for comedic value and your good

    Dying Light works surprisingly well on Pyramid Head

    Out of the perks you mentioned I’d probably say pop. Pop isn’t the greatest perk on ol’ pp head because it doesn’t trigger if you cage or perform the final judgment. I’m a sucker for surge but it doesn’t trigger on downs with his power so that’s not exactly perfect.

    Personally, my builds often change but I really like corrupt on Pyramid head. It makes bigger maps more bearable and puts a bandaid on his lack of mobility. A build I’ve been playing recently is Distressing, coulrophobia, thana and bbq. Definitely not great if you wanna sweat but damn does it rake in bp like it’s easy.

    I just wanted to say that Nurses calling has lead to some of the more fun shots I’ve had.

    Well, it's effective and that's why People use it. Also, Ruin/Undying has solid counterplay unlike DS/Unbreakable. Might still be boring but it's like one of the most efficient Builds, that's why People use it.

    I still need to experiment with him more. Did a few Meme Builds yesterday.

    I run,

    Ruin undying for obvious reasons also arua reading is nice

    Pop in case of ruin dying early on

    And tinkeres to sneak up and people through walls. Save the best for last is over killer on PH its a perk you dont get much value so your better off running a gen regression build as ph us a chase monster but its his map preassure that hurts him.
