Does terror radius even matter that much on dredge/ is distressing a good idea?

I feel like with dredge you're very rarely having survivors be warned of your presence because of terror radius, because the teleport fx is the warning. It's not common for you to ever actually walk to a gen, only specific circumstances where there's a lack of lockers. Would running distressing + perks that synergise with distressing be that detrimental to dredge?

    I think it's more important to assess what kind of build you want to go for first and then decide which killers that's suited to.

    As an example, Legion's a hit-and-run type killer. Survivors aren't going to heal if they're having to mend and heal every ~45 seconds. So you're not going to get much, if any, value out of running Distressing, Coulrophobia, Unnerving Presence and Leverage. The same goes for killers like Pig, Ghostface and Wraith. Plague, on the other hand, provides Survivors with a free source of healing via her pools of devotion so long as they're infected.

    Dredge is an interesting spot since Nightfall builds faster with more survivors injured, but at the same time you're primarily traversing via lockers. Consider how the build you want to run is going to work in relation to your chosen Killer's power.

    Dredge during nightfall dont even have terror radious and you can teleport so survivors are going to be out of it of just in front of you.

    Dredge is better with info perks, i like sloopy+ nurses combo.

    To me is weird that Dredge have 2 terror radious perks :S

    Building for terror radius perks isn't a good idea on the Dredge because the Dredge does not have a terror radius during Nightfall. Which made it hilarious to me that two of its teachable perks are reliant on having a terror radius in the first place to work; Dissolution and Septic Touch.

    The best thing you can do as Dredge is work towards building Nightfall as fast as you can, and there arent many perks thatll help you do that.

    Besides, he is Undetectable during Nightfall which makes TR perks useless during this time
