Favorite Build: Dealing with Toxic SWF

So just curious, if you see a 4-man team pop in, bearing flashlights, etc, and you are expecting a toxic SWF experience, what killers/builds are your favorite?

    Spirit with anal beads is my go to.

    I only use beads + amulet combo vs swf with items as that combo is not fun to play as survivor.

    If they all bring flashlights be prepared. I usually bring Franklin's Demise, when you down someone look around, there will be at least two of them nearby ready for the save, hit them if you can, even if you chase them for a bit and then turn back they will run straight back to you, try to bait them, if you injured one of the two he will be healing nearby, listen carefully, if you can hear them hit them, if not you might be able to pick up the downed survivor. If you hit both the survivors with Franklin's you will have already 3 flashlights on the ground, so less chances of them saving the downed one, use it as an opportunity to pick them up

    Flashlights are so easy to counter and make playing Killer such an easy time. I love seeing survivors come in with flashlight. Its the best way to know I'll have an easy win. No one will be doing gens. Everyone will be hugging dead bodies trying to "get the save"

    Just slug one guy and watch for the cockroaches to come out of hiding.

    A leatherface in a Basement solves most SWF issues.

    Depends on the killer you want to use. If you’re good with Nurse, she will destroy any SWF group. If you’re feeling particularly mean, an Iridescent Head Huntress with an Ebony mori will always do the trick.

    Franklin's Demise will take care of flashlights and Ruin is basically mandatory in order to not get gen rushed.

    I do recommend watching Monto’s Slug Master Spirit or Nurse videos. Slugging can be a great way to deal with SWF groups because they because overly altruistic.

    I do love the Prayer Beads alongside Ruin and Thrill. An easy way to pull survivors off of totems but a lot of times SWF will find out both totems and one person will go to each totem and force you to chose one. Or they’ll just tap it and run.

    While I love Spirit’s potential at destroying SWF, Nurse is the best. She can go around the map easier with Ataxic Respiration. She can guard totems a bit easier than Spirit can.

    Vs sweaty swf I go Sloppy, Deerstalker, Nurses and NOED and just slug them. My normal build is Whispers, M&A, Sloppy and BBQ
