Guys I need perk combos

I finally started playing this game again after a break and want killer perk combos. The combo I see widely used is Ruin/Undying/Tinkerer. Does anyone have any other strong or interesting perk combos for killers?

    Surge/Save is quite nice, as is Surge/Surveillance

    PGTW/Corrupt if you want a more consistent alternative to Ruin/Undying that isn't hated as much either.

    Sloppy and any injured perk like Thana or Blood Echo, especially on Oni or Legion, big yes

    Insidious

    Agitation

    Iron Grasp

    Mad Grit

    :)

    But seriously, it depends on what kind of Killer you're playing.

    Which Killer?

    I legitimately assumed that you wanted fun perk combos, and now I'm just disappointed. Still, I'll throw in my two cents:


    I've been running Surge, Fire Up, NWO, and Hex: Plaything on Cenobite, and that's actually very entertaining.

    I've found that Sloppy Butcher and Forced Penance work very well together on Legion (and other killers, but Legion is still the king of healthy to injured transitions)--I don't even use Thana anymore, because I wanted the space for Trail of Torment to get those "hello fellow survivors" moments. I'll likely be switching to Hysteria once I get it, tbh.

    STBFL and Remember Me make for some disgusting endgame plays, which is always cool--I've been using that combo with Clown for funsies, and it works, surprisingly.

    Bamboozle is hilarious on Hag, because nobody expects it, and it super [Bad Word] them up. Pair it with just about anything, imo, Hag is pretty strong on her own. On any killer you can combo Fire Up and Bamboozle for disgustingly fast vaulting--I was using this combo for a Infinite Tombstone Mikey, and I could literally just follow survivors through whatever windows they went through faster than they could.

    Agitation is an amazing perk in general on any killer. Pair it with Lightborn and Starstruck and bait out flashy saves 😈.

    PWYF is surprisingly good on Trapper-setting traps doesn't take a token, nor does catching someone in a trap. Use a perk to go undetectable, and you'll make survivors look at you instead of the ground.

    Undying and Third Seal are surprisingly good. I've also seen people use Hex: Plaything with various blindness perks and add-ons.

    Nemesis and Iron Maiden mean that people essentially kill themselves if they Head On you, which is hilarious every time.

    Overcharge and Trail of Torment work very well together on new survivors and surprisingly well on even experienced survivors the first few times in a match.

    Somehow Franklin's Demise works amazingly with Hex: Devour Hope. I don't understand how, but it lasts twice as long every time--as far as I'm aware, it's magic; that's not likely to change anytime soon and I'm perfectly okay with that.

    I'll second Surge/Surveillance, though I personally use Oppression/Surveillance and some mad lads even use Ruin/Surveillance.


    Will you use any of these? Probably not.

    I'll still offer them, though. A suggestion's a suggestion, even if it's bad.

    If you'd like to access super high MMR, you can run Ruin, Undying, Tinkerer, and Corrupt/BBQ/PGTW on Nurse or Blight.

    Here are some other combos that won't put you in super high MMR, but mid to high MMR:

    • Enduring and Spirit Fury for M1 killers such as Legion, Clown, and Wraith.
    • Corrupt + PGTW is a powerful combo. You can throw in Ruin instead of Corrupt and see if that works better for you.
    • Lethal Pursuer + Corrupt. Works best with Billy, Oni, and Blight. You can just use LP and leave Corrupt out of it, if that suits you better.
    • M1 killers benefit from Surge the best, such as Trapper, Wraith, Nurse, Myers, yada yada. Surge + Surveillance is pretty fun. Throw in PGTW and you've got some reliable slowdown.

    However, if you'd like to have fun, here's my favorite combos:

    • PGTW and Eruption is a nice combo for many killers and I highly recommend it. Works on pretty much every killer since Eruption doesn't require basic attacks.
    • Agitation, Starstruck, Mad Grit, and Iron Grasp. A fun build if you want to goof off and be a vacuum cleaner. You can actually throw in Forced Penance instead of Starstruck or Iron Grasp if you'd like.
    • PWYF + Nemesis (the perk, not the killer) is really fun on particular killers, Plague especially.

    Blast Mine, Flashbang, Decisive Strike and Head On.

    Surveillance, Surge, Oppression and Eruption.

    It depends on what synnergizes with the killers. Typically, I have 2 slowdown perks with 2 other perks that synergize with the killer (or an info perk).

    Use Ruin Pop on mobile killers. Use Ruin Undying on killers that have built-in slowdown that gets survivors off of generators (Pig, Pinhead, Doctor, Legion). For slower killers, consider either deadlock pop (to counter split gens and give you the opportunity to earn and use a pop, or consider corrupt and No Way out to simply seal off the early and late game (I use the latter for Pyramid Head and Huntress ATM). The latter option also works partially because it slows the game without babysitting generators.

    Some perks to consider with synergy. Lethal pursuer for killers that can immediately threaten survivors or killers that require some sort of prep caused by chasing survivors.

    You probably know why Tinkerer is a thing for killers.

    Discordance is great for proactive gen defense. If it doesn't proc, you know they're on split gens or messing around.

    Infectious for limited power use killers/snowball.

    Franklins if you're using a hit and run killer so you limit the use of medkits.

    Starstruck agitation can pay off massively on anti-loop killers that damage with a basic attack. I don't have it on many killers yet, but I have starstruct on Slinger. It'll either pay off with insta-downs, or it will terrify survivors into leaving an area.

    Edit: I forgot plaything retribution. That can be potentially great on mobile killers as its own form of information combo.

    If you don't like RUT/RPT-based builds, you can be interested about these ones:

    This is a direct link to a large uploaded png picture.

    These builds were my strong goto builds for each killer (Nemesis release date), mainly with Corrupt+Pop as slowdowns perks (I hate Ruin/Tinkerer from both Killer and Survivor point of views).

    However, I tend to play more lately with Pop->Surge (or Pop->Deadlock) with most M1 killers.

    It is obviously less strong, but I'm too lazy to kick gens xD

    Vigil, Sprint Burst, Fixated, Iron Will

    It does depend quite a lot on what Killer you're using. Some of my general favourites are the well-known Spirit Fury + Enduring combo, as well as Monitor & Abuse + Infectious Fright. Dragon's Grip + Trail of Torment is also an interesting one.

    Ice cream man clown:

    Infectious fright

    Iron maiden

    Dragon's grip
