Perk Choices/builds

Hey guys,

I'm curious to know what perk builds people use Survivor/killer alike - and why you use them?

I use Lightweight, Adrenaline, Self care and Sprint Burst.

I tend to swap out Adrenaline occasionally for Small Game, Prove Thyself, Calm Spirit

I think this is a good perk build/set that helps with escaping the killer either by running away, or being sneaky sneaky, so it enables me to play a few different ways.

    I usually have a few go to's for builds:

    Shadowborn/Monitor and Abuse are a must for me on every Killer cause the FOV is so small :lol:
    I'll use Hex: Ruin a lot of the time too to try and slow down the Game.
    And then finally BBQ and/or Nurses calling for some aura reading so im not guessing where people are all game.

    I've been trying to play some weird specific builds just for fun.

    Scavenger: plunderer's instinct, pharmacy, ace in the hole, iron will/spine chill/whatever
    I usually run this with a chest offering and open a bunch of chests which leaves useful higher rarity items for my teammates. It's nice to be able to heal fast and then also find a toolbox for gens, or even a key. Also just switches things up.

    Escape the chase: lithe, dance with me, quick & quiet, iron will
    This is my current build and it is awesome for escaping chases easily. Pallet stun, find a window, break line of sight, hide as soon as lithe runs out and you're golden. No scratch marks to give you away and you get a lot of distance with lithe. Even when it doesn't work lithe is still great for extending chases. Time it right against the spirit and she will never find you.

    End game: adrenaline, hope, no one gets left behind, borrowed time
    Often times this build sucks but damn when it works, it's the best few minutes ever. Being chased? Not for long. Someone being camped? Not for long! Need to distract the killer? Easy! Killers don't usually account for the 7% speed and miss the timing of attacks.

    Don't slug me: unbreakable, tenacity, iron will, spine chill
    Another very situational build, but it can really change the game at times if you want to take the risk.

    Stealth: iron will, spine chill, calm spirit, lightweight
    Good if you just don't want to be found but chances are that you will be found by accident, but if escaping chases is your strong suit you might find this helpful.

    Aftercare is also an amazing perk but I haven't made a good build that included it, other than just some perks I like: Aftercare, iron will, spine chill, lightweight or something.
