I'm not exactly the best killer in this game as i sometimes tend to struggle when i go against semi-decent survivor teams who just steamroll gens at times, and i was wondering, what are some builds that i can run on Nemesis that pair well with his power and can put pressure on generators?

    My friend mains nemisis and he runs these perks: insidious, franklins demise, weave attunement, and trail of torment. He death hooks and waits till end game. He waits at an exit gate and when all gens are done he waits for a survivor to start opening it and jump scaring them.

    My personal build is for memes only:

    • Lethal Pursuer
    • Nowhere To Hide
    • Save The Best For Last
    • Hex: Plaything

    Nemesis has big stompy stomps, so Plaything isn't the BEST. Nemesis also struggles early but conquers late, so it's generally BETTER to have a strong opening - which is why Lethal Pursuer is a good perk to start out with, it can get you into Tier 2 in a matter of seconds.

    Nowhere To Hide is super de duper good due to lethal Pursuer buffing the duration, but it comes in handy to find lurkers and sneaky folks near gens.

    Plaything is always comedy gold - even seasoned players gaff with no terror radius. I think it's potent on Nemesis because Zombies can alert you to survivors nearby and across the map that can't hear you coming.

    Save The Best For Last - this is mostly a meme. You will generally not be using M1 with Nemi, but that's sort of the glory of it. Survivors almost always expect you to pull out the tentacle. And there's a certain sad face you get when you dont get to infect or get evolution points from survivors from the whip. STBFL is sorta like safety insurance that incentivizes your playstyle to use M1 in conjunction with whips. For me, it makes me feel a little more relieved than robbed when I use an M1 - and this often trips up survivors because I'm not gunning for the whip on every chase or loop, and catching a survivor off guard with an M1 is a lot easier than feeling the need to whip them point blank. As an added bonus, if you get high stacks, being able to follow up with a slick whip after an M1 is pure serotonin to the brain stem.
