I purchased ghostface recently and have had tremendously good games playing with him, before I bought him I was a clown and nurse main, getting 2ks and rarely 3ks, now i get 4ks every single game and went from rank 6 to rank 1 in the span of 3 days. Im not sure why im doing so well with him but he is super fun to play as and surprise people with. I would recommend this killer as a MUST-BUY

    He's ok... until you get an open map with a SWF then you'll be wishing you were playing Nurse

    Twins for me.

    Total map pressure, unpredictable pounces, building Charlotte to be a mean m1.

    If it clicks it clicks.

    I can't stand playing as blight, and I don't have much trouble juking his dash as survivor. But to each his own.

    I gotta face off against you at some point, then! Blight Main versus Guy Who Can't Stand Blight.

    I gotta say Ghostface is one of the most fun killers to play as and he is VERY strong once you know how to truly play as him.

    I run Ruin+Undying cuz why the ######### not? Sloppy and Corrupt Intervention.

    As someone who has played A LOT as him, I suggest you stalk people as much as you can.

    People will allways tell you is not good to stalk, but that's just because they dont know how to play him. This killer is not meant to chase survivors, he is meant to down them before the chase starts. The time you'd spend chasing someone, spend it trying to figure out an angle from which you can stalk them, 99% them and then aproach, finish the stalk and down them.

    I also recomend you activate your power whenever you see a survivor is just running away trying to lose you in a chase, find a good object to lean and 99% him, the good thing about this is the next time you see him you'll down him instantly.

    I almost never chase survivors, only if my power is already on cooldown and there are more than one survivor on the same place or if I see it's gonna be an easy chase.

    My point with all this is that he is not like all the other killers, he doesnt get anything good from chases, play him as he is meant to be played, stealthy.

    I enjoy VS blight, just not playing AS blight.

    But I'd love to vs blight any day considering all I mostly see is clowns and bubba.

    That's fair.

    Blight, I've heard, is quite fun to play against, especially if they're good, because they actually put up a scary challenge that is fair to play against.

    I'd wonder if thanataphobia would be better than corrupt intervention? Ruin/undying is a strong combo and sloppy thanata is also strong combo.

    Just my opinion. Otherwise I'd run discordance or surveillance instead of sloppy.

    I run BBQ, Discordance, Pop goes the weasel, and thrillign tremors.

    As I've already said before, he isnt meant to chase survivors, so I discard all chase perks, all aura reading as well because he doesnt have speed when in stealth like Wraith, if you play survivor as I do, you know where the survivors will be so things like BBQ Surveillance, Infectious Fright, Whispers and stuff like that is not needed.

    Corrupt buys you soooo much time to stalk people... I rarely get less than 3 hooks before the perk ends, it's just too good. And Sloppy does the exact same, it buys you time to stalk and if they dont heal they are just a free down. Survivors are not facing a ######### Legion that lets them know is coming from 32 m away, you are facing a killer with 0 TR and no problems with hitting you as soon as he sees you, unlike someone like Wraith or Pig who both have a sound que to let survivors know they're coming.

    I guess I never saw it that way. Good points.

    But... thanata sloppy forces heals, and when you can just expose them and 1 hit, all time spent healing is time wasted.

    My personal perk setup for Ghostie is Corrupt, BBQ (For the BP), Discordance and Nurse's Calling. It's honestly super fun rounding a corner on a healing survivor and downing them.

  • tt_ivi_99
    tt_ivi_99 Member Posts: 1,463

    My point on not having Thanatophobia is that most of the times I have like 3-4 people injured with a killer that has 0 TR, so the survivors are gonna heal even if I dont use that perk because otherwise it's a free down. And if they're healing no matter what, whats the point on running the perk if no one is touching any gens? Therefore I make them waste more time doing the one thing I know they'll allways do, healing.

    I allways take good care on my builds, after so many time playing on red ranks, I know which perks are best for specific killers.

    Ifeel like the builds should be like an extension of your Killers power, Freddy = Tinkerer+BBQ, Oni = Infectious Fright+M&A, Billy = Enduring+Spirit Fury, etc.

    Ghostface is 100% in my top 3 killers, I adore him. I love his sneaky, slowly approaching from behind cover while I stalk you" playstyle. The killer that "clicked" for me is either Wraith (if the buffs are good I probably won't play any other killer) or Oni. Pyramid Head is up there, but not nearly like the others are.

    If they ever fix Ghostface's reveal mechanic, you'll soon be struggling to get those 4k's.

    Same here, I was a Doc and Wraith main until I finally picked up Hag and she became my bestie

    I've been maining him at rank 1 since his release. He's a good killer but once you go up against 4 man SWF's getting a map like Ormond or Coldwind and even Autohaven, he can be hard to win with. Glad you enjoy him though!

    Well, then you just found your Main. It's always nice to have at least 1 Killer where you are a 100 % confident.
