How should I use Claustrophobia?

What perks should I combine it with? What killer should I pick and what addons should I bring with Claustrophobia?

    You... shouldn't. Clausterphobia is uh, terrible. If you really really want to bring it, you could try a slowdown build, PR, Corrupt, Deadlock, or you could try a pallet shred build, Enduring, Spirit Fury, Brutal. Neither of these builds really syngergize with Clausterphobia... but nothing really does.

    For killer, you could do somone like Wraith I guess, like stealth addons. That could put a lot of survivors into unescapeable situatuations, with the windows blocked, and Spirit Fury

    Claustrophobia is not really too good of a perk, but you can sometimes get value from it (rarely though).

    I personally think the only times Ive gotten it to shine, outside of just pure luck, is using Bitter Murmur and Hex: No One Escapes Death to punish people who try to finish the final generator with me close by.

    Since it does block windows, it can be used with Killers who are generally weak against windows (such as Billy and Bubba) or just Killers who have poor chase potential.

    Besides what I listed, it does not have good synergy with most things, and getting value is mostly just luck than anything else.

    Claustrophobia+ Bitter murmur on plague running Iri seal and idk i guess devotees amulet or vile emetic should work fine

    Don't, that perk sucks. I cannot think of a single good thing about it.

    By unequiping it and running Bamboozle or Crowd Control instead!

    All jokes aside, it definitely isnt the strongest perk and is fairly map dependant. How ever when ran with the right perks it can be alright.

    STBFL, Tinkerer and Blood Favor would pair fairly well with it, al though youre using all your perk slots just to make that one perk work. That being said its not like any of these perks are terrible.

    If you want to go full meme with it, maybe go Claustrophobia with Bamboozle, Hex: Crowd Control, and Disillusion so no vault is safe. Maybe use it with Freddy or Clown, killers who can force slow vaults.

    More seriously, Bitter Murmur and maybe Coup de Grace or Fire Up, since they all have the same activation condition (generator completion). Probably want someone mobile in case you're not near the area Claustrophobia goes off. Onryô would work there since TVs are often close to gens or you can set up Demo portals.

    Tbh, that perk is just really bad.

    I guess billy + tinkerer so you know in advance wich gen is about to pop and block stuff?

    Also Nurse and Blight are fast for this.

    I would rather pick bloodhounds and im not joking.
