Builds

I'm gonna cut straight to the point, I need builds for killers that is fun but somewhat competitive. I haven't really gotten peace and quiet to think of a build. I'll take a build for any killer.

    If you're willing to accept something a little more on the gimmick side that still does some work, I've got a fun build for any killer that's very threatening close up - so Bubba, Billy, it works really well on Plague because everyone's injured, killers like that.

    The build is: Lethal Pursuer | Gearhead | Furtive Chase | Nemesis

    The idea is to chase your Obsession as early as possible, and utilise the stealth to ambush someone, then targeting whoever gets the unhook because they're the new Obsession - alongside Nemesis giving you at least a shot at creating an Obsession out of whoever you're chasing, and making unhookers Oblivious so you can try to ambush them, too.

    Lethal and Gearhead aim to give you important info to ambush people on generators while you're stealthy, as well as being a really potent counter to Distortion since you chew through two tokens at once and are starving them of opportunity to rebuild tokens since you're stealthy a lot.

    On Plague, running the frankly broken Black Incense addon allows her constant wallhacks on vulnerable survivors while she herself is Undetectable. Very potent.

    Depends on the killer. General staples i usually have are: 1 slowdown (Pop or pain res typically), 1 aura reading (no where to hide), other 2 are flexible depending on killer like: friends till the end, discordance, lethal pursuer, bamboozle, franklins+weave attunement if a lot of items are brought. Depends what you want these are just some examples you could slot in any perks you like really i just think having 1 slowdown and 1 aura reading helps a lot in general.

    Check out Bazazell on YouTube. He regularly plays killer builds that are outside mainstream but is quite successful.

    I have a Plague build:

    Corrupt - Infectious - Distressing - Tinkerer

    Add-ons: Inscensed Ointment - Heamatite Seal

    The idea is to make survivors scream as often as possible.

    If you'd like a basic perk skeleton, Franklins+Weave+Jolt is a not bad. Bit of info, bit of remote kicking and less headache over items.

    If you like stealthy killers then you don't really mind the Distortions

    Lmao. I see you're also a disciple of the AAAAAAAA build. For the event I've been running Face The Darkness, Ultimate Weapon, Infectious Fright, and Make Your Choice, Iron Maiden, or Deathbound depending on the killer. I don't recommend it, because there's so much screaming it's difficult to tell what any of it means, but it is funny.

    I will have to remember the Hematite Seal though, for bonus AAAAAA.

    Best part of it is you can still tunnel&camp as you like, there is 5 gens worth of free times

    Friends till the End, Nemesis, Rancor, No Way Out. I think that's my favourite general (as opposed to Killer specific) build.

    Ruin, Undying, Pentimento, something else.
