Can somebody give me plauge tips

TruffleTurtle

I need some tips. I used to play her when she came out and I did well. Then I took a break and now I'm trying her again but I feel like I'm doing awful with her. By the time I infect somebody like 2 gens r done and if I try and spread the sickness early I just get genrushed

1. Infect people early by just tapping them. This will force them to make a choice early
2. Use perks to encourage cleansing. I use blood echo personally
3. Make sure to slug during corrupt. If you have an extra 20 seconds or so and know someone is nearby use the time to at least injure them
4. Your best add ons are rubbing oil, any cooldown reduction or black incense

There's a lot that goes into Plague, she requires a lot of strategy, mechanical skill and game sense to play. Probably why she isn't played much.

My short tips, as a Plague main, would be as follows:

-When rounding a corner and holding your puke, aim at the wall instead of the survivor when you turn. This will make your puke's momentum arc in such a way to hit the survivor with the vomit stream even while turning. Makes Corrupt Purge much stronger. Very useful at most loops and at shack.

-Don't be afraid to hit a partially infected survivor. If you can get just a drop of vomit on them and you don't think you can get much more (like if you're at a jungle gym) just hitting them and leaving to infect someone else is a good idea. This is most useful during the early game. You want to get as many people infected as soon as possible. Of course, vomiting until they're broken is ideal, but this is uncommon against good survivors and good tiles.

-Your vomit, both Vile Purge and Corrupt Purge, has a much further range than you'd think. As long as you're walking forwards (momentum makes the puke go a lot further) and aiming as high as you can, you can hit survivors from... I want to say 14 meters, or so? Extremely effective, and satisfying every time.

-Try to have 2 or 3 pools corrupted at a time - any more or less is bad. If you don't have a backup pool, using Corrupt Purge is a massive risk and can make you an M1 killer for the rest of the game if the survivors realise you have no more corrupted pools. If lots of pools are corrupted, you run the risk of overflowing, cleansing all the pools and essentially forcing you into using Corrupt without a backup. Yes, this means you may have to micro-manage who you infect if the survivor team or individual survivors like to cleanse. People say you want survivors to cleanse as Plague, but in my experience, it's the exact opposite - you want people to cleanse rarely, not often.

-Run Infectious Fright. It synergises so well with Corrupt Purge (and even normal Plague) that it's as mandatory as it is on Oni, in my opinion. Easily her best perk - Infectious with Corrupt Purge makes Plague one of the scariest killers in the game, as long as the Plague is good. Hex: Ruin is a great choice, also, as survivors will naturally be pushed off gens during Corrupt Purge, during the early game you can vomit on unfinished gens to force the survivors to either get themselves infected really early, or let the gen regress with ruin for 35 seconds. You can also infect the totem for bootleg Thrill of the Hunt. Corrupt Intervention has anti-synergy with Plague, think twice before you run it - you can't infect those far generators and most of your infections early game come from interrupting the first few gens, infecting them, and spreading the infection efficiently.

There's a lot more, but those are just some tips to using her power well. Would like to make a Plague guide someday.

First tip- it's Plague not plauge

I didn't even realise I did tip number 1 til you pointed it out! Just goes to show how much you don't realise you do and what you don't realise that you're doing helps.

I would also add that it's a good, if risky, idea to use corrupted pools to zone people into cleansing where you want them to. Ignoring the 4 corrupted pools out in the middle of nowhere forces the survivors to either stay infected at a time when you could potentially get your power or cleanse in places optimal for you to suck it up and snowball.

Hook right next to an active fountain and camp. Don't forget to say gg ez after the salt mine.

Because it's the stupid survivor who has no right to be salty in a lameass situation like that.

Always play toxic kids, help make this game even better.
