    I have played both killers but pig way more. In my experience both are decent with loops but I feel like both are on the lower tier of loop handling. Some loops you can see pig clearly crouched and others you can't. For wraith it's just a matter of how long it takes to uncloak and cloak that makes it comparable.

    Personally, I think they're about equal since Pig's dashes are so much faster and is only slightly slower. I'm also pretty sure that Pig can fit through things while dashing that Wraith can't, such as the broken wall sections of Crotus Penn if dashing from top floor to bottom.

    If you stay at a loop after you've given the Pig the pallet... You basically take a dash hit every time. Also moon dashing is great.

    Pig dash might have more lunge but with pig dash you HAVE to swing at the end. This means even if it pans out, you get a slowdown.

    Also with pig while crouching you move slower rather than wraith being faster, combine this with it being hard to see while crouched and if pig crouches at a loop the survivor can just W away, where as if the survivor tries to W away from wraith he moves faster when he is cloaked.

    Also one thing your speed boost on wraith does not account for is that you can use your lunge to stack the lunge speed boost with the cloak speed boost for a mega speed boost coming out of cloak almost like the dash.

    Wraith also has a much better set of addons. The only addon that helps pig at all with her dash/chase potential in a significant way is combat straps. There is one for faster dash charge but it's not as good as combat straps. Where as wraith gets wonderful addons like the multiple rarities of windstorm, the bone clapper, the silent bell. Just look at their aura read ons. Both wraith and pig have an addon that gives them aura read in their stealth mode, and pigs has a downside of giving her less traps and that's in addition to the fact that pig's crouch is mostly worse than wraith's.

    With Pig, It takes time to crouch and activate her ambush attack. Also, If she misses the attack, it slows her down a lot.

    Wraith can move fast while cloaked and it only takes a small amount of time to uncloak. You can also choose whether to swing or not after uncloaking.

    Pig's Dash is predictable and easy to outplay by the survivor in most cases. Only in a few spots it's actually effective against good survivors.

    Wraith's Lunge isn't enough to catch survivors in every loop but even in the worst case scenario it lets you catch up to them and force a pallet drop.

    Wraith's one is much more consistent, but Pig's dash is simply way more fun and interesting to use for the mindgames.

    I like Pig's dashes more overall, but gotta say Wraith is stronger. He moves quicker while cloaked, he can easily close the gap between him and a survivor to compensate for his uncloaking, and after uncloaking, any missed distance from uncloaking is regained by lunging.

    With Pig, she's very slow while crouching(90%, slower than a Nurse), even though she cant attack and cant move while charging her.


    The fact that Wraith can get up close and effectively cancel out any distance lost he would have gained by walking normally after uncloaking, while Pig cannot makes Pig quite weak in a loop as she needs to close the dashable distance and more before crouching, while Wraith can just cloak after a hit, catch up next to the survivor, bodyblock and then start uncloaking.

    I've been hit by far more Wraith sneak attacks, compared to the Pig's

    i think an important aspect of wraith's lunge thats hard to put in numbers is that you can see unimpeded over low loops, making it so survivors cant just run away for free like you can do against pig.
