It doesn't matter if you play killer or survivor. I'm curious and want to see them all :)

I like this one because it gives me everything I need, or, I actually only need Iron Will and Sprint Burst. But DS and SC feel so good to have.

Here's the website I used --> https://dbdbuilder.purple-horizon-clan.net/

    If I'm ever playing survivor, I'll nearly always use Spinechill, Iron Will, Dead Hard and Decisive Strike.

    Spinechill provides so much value against every killer so to me its a must pick.

    Iron Will and Dead Hard both extend the chase by a lot if the killer cant insta down.

    DS counters tunneling to an extent.

    As for killer, my current mains are Blight and Billy, with a bit of Clown.

    On Blight I use BBQ, Infectious, STBFL and PGTW.

    On Billy I use BBQ, Infectious, Enduring and Ruin.

    On Clown I use PGTW, STBFL, BBQ and Devour Hope.

    My current build is Adrenaline, Sprint Burst, Kindred and Iron Will.

    Once the RE chapter drops I'm gonna play around with a few builds I have in mind;

    Locker build (Counterforce, Inner Strength, Flashbang and Iron Will)

    Heal build (Built to Last, Resurgence, Botany Knowledge and Iron Will + Med Kit)

    Martyr build (Flashbang, Mettle of Man, Borrowed Time and Iron Will)

    Diversion build (Diversion, Blast Mine, Red Herring and Iron Will)


    P.s. I love Iron Will lol

    My current build now is

    Detective's Hunch, Sprint Burst, Premonition, and Aftercare.

    Solo surv : Bond, Iron Will, BT, Kindred with Medkit. Substitute Inner Strength for BT without Medkit.

    edit: Bond and Kindred may seem redundant, but Kindred helps other randoms react to BBQ quicker. Bond gives me much needed map awareness.

    Either of these 2 I know it's like 2 perk changes but lol

    My favorite survivor perk build (as of now): Sprint Burst, Iron Will, Windows Of Opportunity, and Detective's Hunch.

    I used Dead Hard before, but I decided to switch for Sprint Burst yesterday. Also, I used Spine Chill before, but I felt I had to learn distance before going with a fast vault build.

    I think I play Iron Will since I unlocked the teachable, which was like within the first week after I started to play. If I had to keep only one perk, it'd be Iron Will. Resilience is a close one, as it gives me a huge reason to stay injured and being bold.

    I was a bit nervous about using Sprint Burst, I thought I'd have to walk everywhere... Actually, I use it to go faster to a generator to another, to get a save when the Killer went away, etc. It's useful outside of chases, the reason I like it. I feel it'll help me improving to loop as I wouldn't be relying on Dead Hard—I had a hard time to no waste it.

    Curious to know why you don't have Resilience and Quick and Quiet switched in those builds. Though I'm sure it fits your playstyle.

    I'm just used to seeing Quick and Quiet with Lithe and Dead Hard with Resilience.

  • danielmaster87

    I use Spine Chill, Resilience, Dead Hard, and Adrenaline. It allows you to stay injured and do gens and loop good and get an Adrenaline.

    Plunderers, Ace in the hole, Appraisal, any other perk. Shame on you meta slaves

    I've been having a ton of fun running Undying, Haunted Grounds, and Devour Hope. The fourth perk I change out based on mood or killer needs but it tends to be BBQ, STBFL, or Pop.

  • TheMadCat
    TheMadCat Member Posts: 2,203

    No Ruin for Survivors thinking there is Haunted and not cleansing Devour before it activates?

    I mean, when there is no Ruin, I always think there is Haunted and I usually don't touch the Hex. 👀

    My favourite build is, and always will be, this one:

    This was my first actual build with Old Freddy. Took me quite some time to level up Hag, Cannibal and Nurse, but it was worth it! I had so much fun with this build back in the day, even during the Moonrise event.

    Sometimes I still use it...

    ...But it is not the same.

  • JPA
    JPA Member Posts: 1,685

    My standard survivor build at the moment is: Kindred, Borrowed Time, We're Gonna Live Forever, and Dead Hard (although been experimenting with Sprint Burst in place of DH recently)

    My build for Killer varies wildly based on the Killer in use, but lately I've been playing Blight with BBQ, Infectious Fright, Enduring, and Spirit Fury

  • MadLordJack
    MadLordJack Member Posts: 8,814

    Lucky Break/Iron Will/Object of Obsession.

    Proof that survivors aren't held to the same standard as killers.

  • Paina
    Paina Member Posts: 231

    Survivor: Kindred, Small Game, Inner Strength, WGLF

    Killer: BBQ, PGTW, Infectious Fright, M&A

  • Shroompy
    Shroompy Member Posts: 6,692

    Solo Q

    Kindred, Sprint Burst, Iron Will, DS or Spine Chill

    SWF

    BT, Dead Hard, Resilience, Spine Chill

    I use a different build for every killer, but the most popular perks among all of them are:

    BW, BBQ, Whispers, Monitor

    Swimming_Bird Member Posts: 48

    That's the thing though, there's four lit totems. Someone's gonna cleanse and that first one is always a coin flip whether they get something good or Spoopy Grounds. I always get a laugh when I get it to proc twice because of Undying.

  • TheMadCat
    TheMadCat Member Posts: 2,203

    The first build is exactly the build I use on Zarina!

  • TheGorgon
    TheGorgon Member Posts: 777

    Iron Will, Sprint Burst or Smash Hit, Resilience, Lucky Break (probably going to be replaced with the new totem perk or the healing one).


    I dropped Dead Hard yesterday, I just can’t sometimes hit the timing for it, and when I do, I get hit and exhausted on the ground. Anyhow, you should be using it preemptively.

  • KirkPwns
    KirkPwns Member Posts: 16

    Survivor: Borrowed Time, WGLF, Desperate Measures, ~Flex Pick~

    Makes bringing the game back from the brink of a loss a lot easier. My 4th perk is almost always Unbreakable, Adrenaline, or an Exhaustion.

    Killer: Ruin, Pop, Tinkerer, Shadowborn

    Ruin-Pop-Tinkerer is both powerful and satisfying to use. It's essentially 3 perks with the strength of 5. Shadowborn is just for comfort but the build has room for it since the first 3 are so strong.

    Really like your survivor build!

    You plan on incorporating any of the new RE chapter perks into your build? Like resurgence/counterforce/rookie spirit? (Those stood out to me as fun perks).

    Also which of adrenaline/unbreakable do you use more between the two?

  • SirGando
    SirGando Member Posts: 374

    For Killer: BBQ, Pop, Corrupt, Tinkerer

    For Survivor: WGLF, Spine Chill, Sprint Burst, Fixated

    KILLER :

    • Freddy : Make Your Choice + Haunted Grounds + Devour Hope + BBQ

    it's the ultimate second chance build and honestly i always have fun (and i play it really fair too)

    SURVIVOR :

    • I'm here : Red Herring + Diversion + Deception + Iron Will
    • Solo surviving : Iron Will + Bond + Spine Chill + BT/Visionnary/Windows of Opportunity
    • I see all : Bond + Kindred + Visionnary + Open Handed
    • Let me heal you : Empathy + Spine Chill + Autodidact + We'll Make It (spine chill for extra chance of autodidact skill checks)

    Current favorite for my main blight


  • KirkPwns
    KirkPwns Member Posts: 16

    I use Unbreakable solo and Adrenaline when I swf. As far as new perks both of the new blind/stun perks are super ######### cool so ill be messing with them a lot. I'll obviously be throwing lethal pursuer on my blight as well :P

  • UniSans
    UniSans Member Posts: 111

    Autodidact, Aftercare, Prove Thyself, and Iron will. I have run this build on Dwight for over a year and he is the only survivor I play.

  • Patrick1088
    Patrick1088 Member Posts: 628

    Elodie:

    Small Game/Inner Strength/Bond/Spine Chill or something else (trying to learn to be more aware and use other perks)

    Doctor:

    Whispers/Corrupt/Surge/BBQ

    Demo:

    Whispers/Corrupt/BBQ/STBFL

    RE chapter changes:

    Survivor: Flashbang/Inner Strength/Small Game/Head On (locker/totem build)

    Killer: Lethal Pursuer seems interesting, but 7 secs of aura reading for my usual mains doesn't help. I'm not going to be running PGTW for a while since Blast Mine exists now lol maybe I can use it on Wraith, but then he has all seeing blood. I can try Nurse for the Omega Blinks (LP/Corrupt Intervention/Shadowborn or BBQ or Bitter Murmur/NOED)

  • Boss

    Here's mine, it's all about making Hex: Devour Hope work quickly without acting as its bodyguard and to fall back on decent Perks if it does get cleansed.

    Used to have 3 Perks to fall back on, but with Hex: Undying in the game, it's been reduced to 2.

    With the combination of Barbecue & Chili's Auras & Make Your Choice's snowball potential, a 3rd back-up Perk isn't necessary for me.

    This is my main build what I love to run.

  • MrDardon

    Survivor Main Build:

    • Kindred
    • Spine Chill
    • We're gonna live forever
    • Borrowed Time

    My favourite Survivor build is the farming build:

    • Any Means necessary (slam pallets down and pick them up for free 500 BP in Boldness)
    • For the People (To make yourself the Obsession, Obsession escape gives 1.500 BP and Obsession dead gives 1.000 BP in Survival)
    • Prove Thyself (To get maximum Objective almost instantly, doing one whole gen with someone fills up 75 % of the Objective category.)
    • We're gonna live forever (To multiply those points at the end of the Trial.)

    My main goal with the farm build is to get as many points as possible during the match and the multiplier of WGLF is optional but if I can get 4 stacks, that's even better.


    Killer Main Build: (I'll go with Blight and Pyramid Head since those 2 are my mains)

    Blight:

    • Corrupt Intervention
    • Barbecue and Chili
    • Shadownborn
    • Enduring

    Pyramid Head:

    • Corrupt Intervention
    • Barbecue and Chili
    • Shadowborn
    • I'm all Ears (I sometimes replace it with something else)

    Favourite Killer Build would probably be Undying Hope.

    • Hex: Undying
    • Hex: Devour Hope
    • Pop goes the Weasel (I usually run Corrupt as my slowdown Perk but Corrupt can give away my totems pretty early.)
    • Barbecue and Chili

    It's quite fun, I rarely play it because it can also become pretty unfair at times. When they changed Undying I was playing with this combo almost every match.
