Kill Switch update: The issue affecting Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater has been fixed and the cosmetic has been reenabled in all queues with this update.

Sadako has actually forced me to change up my build

It's not that I believe that she's OP, let's get that straight. It's that your average solo queue teammates can't handle her. I don't know why. They just can't. So what I'm gonna do, because I see her often enough right now to justify it, is change up my build.

Two things, I will not take off until the number of people playing her die down, if that ever does happen.

One is a medkit. CoH will do fine, but for some reason Sadako seems to be exceptional at snuffing out boons like they're nothing, with little wasted time. She seems to thrive on keeping people injured, as Sloppy is a popular perk on her, so actually she's defied the odds and has succeeded as a hit and run killer in a CoH meta. People just don't want to bring it to solo for some reason. Sadako keeps catching us off guard while we're healing each other up AND she has that one add-on that gives you a point of condemned if you heal someone who has some condemned themselves. So it's very important to have ways of healing yourself, which good old medkits fulfill.

And the other one is an old friend, one that I had outgrown: Spine Chill. It gives increased action speed, but most importantly it tells you when the killer is coming. Turns out that not having very loud breathing makes your stealth killer actually stealthy. I could handle Wraith, Ghost Face, Pig, Myers except for Scratched Mirror, but not this new girl. I need Spine Chill to tell when she's coming. Unless she comes out of the TV or my teammate makes a dash, I have no clue. So I guess good in the devs for making an actual good stealth killer.

My way isn't a cure-all, but if you're struggling against her, try it.
