What are some good no gen defense builds you have?

For a while with my two original mains(Still with them) Hillbilly and Hag I brought at least 1 slowdown. But, they’re good enough and I’m good enough with them I don’t need gen defense anymore. And oh boy it feels good not needing them. For Hillbilly I run Tinkerer, Lethal Pursuer(snipes are so fun), Infectious Fright, and BBQ & Chili. Add-ons Lopro Chains & Junkyard Cooler. And Hag Agitation, Sloppy Butcher, Blood Echo(No E allowed) and Make Your Choice. Brown setting speed & Range. They’re fun builds while still being strong for their powers. Not there yet with Ghostface and Nemesis. Haven’t gotten good enough with them yet and unsure if they need them regardless. But hopefully they don’t. But, anyone else have fun and good no gen defense builds?

    I don't know if you are looking for any meme builds, but I think a good one for Hillbilly is one that I run on Legion and Oni.

    Nemisis, Make Your Choice, Rancor, and Furtive Chase.

    I call it, Rancor Roulette.

    There was one incredibly tragic month where I ran no defence Spirit. Instead it was BBQ, Third Seal, Thrill, and Stridor.

    Then a friend of me opened my eyes to how awful blindness is for solos and how it doesn't kick in on the teams you need it and I returned to pgtw once more.

    With Wraith I run purple movespeed+beast soot with coulrophobia,distressing,sloppy and nurses. Maps such as Midwich are just a slaughter. The basic idea of the build is that injuring survivors is a win-win-win for me. You want to heal in my vicinity? Yes please. You want to go across the map to heal? Go for it. You want to treat me like a Legion? Challenge accepted.

    Wraith doesn't struggle too much injuring survivors. Injuring 3 people can quite easily trigger a reset, and that's not so hard to do. Scan the gens, figure out which ones I need to keep an eye out for, and then go interrupt the healing. This is where the purple addon shines.

    Bbq, trail, crowd control & whatever else can be fun with blight so long as you are good with his power

    This one on any character who can move around or down fast. Just hold W and kill survivors ASAP.

    For my Nurse I like to run whispers, bbq, shadowborn, and agitation. That's just for normal matches though. For fun you can run haunted grounds, retribution, undying, and shadowborn. Tons of fun.

    I also play a lot of Ghostface too without slowdown and I can vouch that for most matches he doesn't need any. I run whispers, enduring, spirit fury, and nurse's with double recharge add-ons. Basically I just sneak up to survivors and then chase super aggressively after getting my free tag.

    Huntress: No addons, bbq and whispers.

    Im not joking and I actually get 4k’s with this.

    Super agressive Wraith:

    Enduring, Spirit Fury, Bambozlee, Brutal Strenght. Use Shadow Dance + Serpent. It's amazing how fast you can down people with this.

    Try an endgame build:

    NOED + Remember Me + No way Out + Any (i prefer BBQ for points/having some sort of information. It also allows you to chain hooks in the endgame with noed.

    Personally if I don't run gen defense/regression of any kind then I'm running Devour Hope + Exposed snowball build.

    Hex: Devour Hope

    Hex: Undying

    Make Your Choice

    Infectious Fright

    Make Your Choice synergizes perfectly with Devour Hope. If I'm playing a killer that lacks mobility or a way to get back to the hook quickly I switch MYC out for Haunted Grounds which is just evil. Basically when Devour gets 3 stacks gens don't even matter anymore. It's game over

    There's a fun build called "You're going on that hook, whether you like it or not!!!" or (in honour of Ozzy Man) "Destination #########"

    Agitation, Iron Grasp, Mad Grit, Starstruck

    Agitation, Starstruck, Distressing, Infectious Fright. Works on many killers but it especially works on Nurse, even more so with omegablink. If you want to be even more disgusting send yourself to The Game.

    Sounds good on paper, but Starstruck doesnt go well with Mad grit. No one would stand 10m close when Starstruck kicks in, which Mad grit has no use. Replace Lightborn with either MadGrit or Starstruck.

    Currently running BBQ, Spirit Fury, Enduring, I’m All Ears on Blight.

    It's not good but I really Like this Chasing Clown build with Save the Best for Last, Bamboozle, Brutal Strength and BBQ. Can swap out Brutal for Pop or BBQ for Fire Up, the idea is to commit hard to every chase and hit pallets asap

    DragonMasterDarren Member Posts: 2,889

    SF, Enduring, BBQ and Lethal Pursuer on Blight, don’t need slowdown if you are constantly applying chase pressure and darting around the map like a madman

    I used to run Oppression on Twins (because I honestly like Oppression) however I then realized that it really doesn't do much.

    My build for them is: Coup de Grace, Sloppy Butcher, No Way Out (used to be Oppression), and Fire Up
