Which Killers Benefit Most from Brutal Strength?

ion_eyes

I find Brutal Strength isn't that useful except for playing killers where:

1. The survivor is predicting your attacks and are going to predrop the pallet (killers like Executioner, Huntress, Deathslinger...).
2. You can't down them across the pallet.

Pyramid Head can hit across the pallet, so can Huntress, Trickster, and Nemesis, so predropping doesn't inhibit them quite so much.

Deathslinger, Plague can injure across pallet but can't down (unless Plague has corrupt bile).

Killers like Oni (in blood rage mode), Blight, Cannibal, Hillbilly, Nemesis can just break the pallet relatively easily without having to kick.

Killers like Hag, Nurse, Doctor, Spirit, Legion (in frenzy mode), Pig can possibly avoid having to deal with the pallet at all using their powers, going around, through, or over the pallet.

Wraith has add ons to break pallets faster when cloaked, so those builds don't really need Brutal Strength.

So who are the killers that really benefit or can use Brutal Strength in their builds? To me, I see Trapper, Clown, Wraith (without the fast pallet breaking add on), Legion (outside frenzy), Myers, Nightmare (Freddy), Possibly Plague, Twins, Cenobite?

But would you recommend Brutal Strength on any of them? I'm highly considering it for Clown, but maybe Enduring is objectively better?

I'm not too familiar with this perk so this may not be the best answer but I think it's great on any killer with low mobility who has a hard time catching up to survivors. So basically any normal m1 killer. So Trapper, Michael, pig, plague (without corrupt purge of course), freddy, doctor, etc. It helps them catch up to survivors way faster than killers like spirit and Wraith who already have really high mobility and can easily catch up after breaking a pallet.

good for killers that are m1 based with little to no mobility so myers, trapper, pig, (I know i said no mobility but oni), some people use it on freddy. Just dont use it on killers like blight or billy where after they break the pallet they can catch up.

Basically, every M1-Killer. However, you benefit more from Enduring for most of them. Obviously you could run both, but you only have 4 Perk Slots...

I run Brutal Strength on:

• Doctor
• Clown
• Huntress
• Trickster

Doctor and Clown basically because they force Survivors into dropping Pallets early, so I think I get less use out of Enduring (which I use on most M1-Killers). So I save a bit of time when destroying those predropped Pallets.

Huntress, just as a 4th Perk Slot. I run BBQ, Whispers and Corrupt Intervention on the other 3 and I am comfortable with it, so I just run Brutal Strength to not lose that much time in chases. But could easily be replaced.

Same goes for Trickster, I actually run Fire Up and Brutal Strength on him. Mostly, again, to not lose that much time in a chase.

But in general, Killers who force early pallet Drops like Clown and Doc benefit the most IMO.

I personally love running it on Trickster. I find it to be good against killers whose weakness are pallets. Good survivors will pre-drop pallets against Trickster at certain loops, so it’s nice being able to destroy them faster.
