I've discovered my favorite build, at least for Pinhead

Hex: Ruin, Devour Hope, Pentimento, and Plaything. Not only does this counter boons pretty well, it can also set you up really well for mid-late game with Devour and Pentimento and I've been having tons of fun with it.

What's your favorite build at the moment?

    I use a similar build on Pinhead but with Shattered Hope instead of Ruin.

    My favorite build atm has been BBQ, Floods of Rage, Darkness Revealed, and Iron Maiden on Trickster with diamond cufflinks add-on. Receiving lots of tracking throughout the match has been fun.

    You could swap Devour for Retribution

    Use it to get frequent updates where all survs are which is crucial for locating the box

    Retribution also triggers for rekindled totems too which is amazing utility.

    I run a similar build on Wraith but instead of Ruin and Plaything I use Undying and Haunted Ground.

    That's a good one - but it could be so much better.

    The core issues are the anti-synergy between Devour/Ruin and Plaything. You may as well drop Plaything and go for something like Retribution or Haunted.

    I sometimes run a similar build, and go for:

    Plaything

    Pentimento

    Pain Resonance

    Floods of Rage OR Agitation

    Works like an absolute charm.

    If you want Devour, to show off his sweet mori, I'd go

    Devour

    Pain Resonance

    Dead Man's Switch (trust me on this one)

    Undying OR Discordance

    Go ahead. Boon my totems. I'd rather you do that for half a minute than be on a generator hehe.

    Ruin/Haunted/Pentimento/Plaything is pretty busted on Pinhead. Can even swap out Plaything for Undying.

    My favorite build at the moment is the “never stop swinging” Demogorgon loadout which is something like

    • Relentless - Faster recovery on a missed basic attack
    • Save the Best for Last - Faster recovery on a hit from a basic attack
    • Bloodhound - Extremely easy tracking of injured survivors
    • Jolt - Gen explosion on a down
    • Add-ons - The yellow add-on which makes pallet Shreds recover very quickly and makes Shred misses recover very quickly

    Basically the idea is simple, you can chase and attack and Shred at survivors pretty much at will. It’s pretty hilarious how little distance they get on misses and pallet Shreds with this setup, and if you injure them it’s trivial to follow up if you want.

    I had everything except Plaything for the Pinhead Pentimento build, one of the things I am doing with all the flan BP is getting the remaining levels on some killers I had p3ed but not all perk yet. Pinhead was one, got all perks on him last night
