Coup de Grace denies Dead Hard on Michael.

I only recently got every killer perk unlocked on Michael, and I haven't had time to play with them all yet, so I'm always picking up something new.

Fun fact I learned today: Coup de Grace can deny Dead Hard while Michael is in TIII. If you're about to catch up to a survivor, and they use DH, the lunge covers the entire distance to them and knocks them down anyway. It's very satisfying; you can almost hear David's squeals of confusion thousands of miles away through the internet.

I've been running Coup/Bamboozle/Brine/Pop with infinite T3 and green stalk addons, and it's brutal. Find Meg and Claudette asleep on their gens and get to TIII as quickly as possible (kicking any gens you come across in the meantime; you need the slowdown, and Brine makes it worth it), then find a 3-gen and defend it, getting rid of any pallets in the area while you harass survivors away. Don't go for the other gens unless all three are at zero or close to it and regressing, and then make sure you come back to check every minute or two in between chases/hooks.

Even if there are four survivors left by the time you get your 3-gen set up, you're in business. Coup de Grace also allows you to end loops early by stabbing people around corners, and if you're chasing someone in open territory, you can deny DH as many times as you have stacks.

Maybe everyone else already knew all this, but I didn't. (I figured Coup de Grace on Michael would be good, but I'd only tried it once or twice before.)

Try this build out if you ever find yourself being annoyed by Dead Hard. Really takes the edge off.
