Teammates, when up against Plague...
Please don’t cleanse, she is snowballing y’all because you’re cleansing. Every time I face Plague my teammates give her enough corrupt purge to last basically all game. If you’re going to cleanse then at least do it when you’re fully sick.

Cleanse when your fully sick, not when youve dissapeared after being vile purged on and not even being chased. Its a slaugher fest other wise, i will have corrupt fountains everywhere and at that point it dont matter wether your a one hit down or not. I'll go to one of my many fountains and snipe 1 or 2 survivors before the corrupt purge is even gone (fron full health)

Just don't cleanse in general, however Plague with Thana and new Dying Light makes gens take forever. So there might be an influx on cleansing in the near future as Plague's meta changes

Plague with red vomit is very strong, I really can't see a cleanse meta happening in the near future, unless some new mechanics are added.

Actually considering that the Thana/Dying Light combo is especially strong on her, it's probably the best idea to cleanse as much as possible. She has I think 5 fountains so if you all cleanse at once, then someone re-infects themselves and cleanses again, you can force her to get Corrupt and then play immersed until it wears off. This forces her to reset all the fountains, and it will actually screw her over. I know I've gotten screwed a few times because survivors cleansed too fast and forced my Corrupt at a time when I didn't want it, and then when it ran out I had to basically start from scratch infecting people and was a huge waste of my time.

She has 10 fountains? Or was that changed? Hard to get my solo mates to go immersed at the same time as me.

Plague is ridiculously strong with her corruption, I agree. But will survivors take the risk and cleanse because they dont want to work on gens 60% slower?
0 -
No it's definitely not 10. 6 at most. If you don't grab them fast enough survivors can do them all really quick and you basically get screwed out of Corrupt. Plague is all about using Corrupt at the right time, but when survivors control it like that you can easily lose the game. I'd almost rather a game where no one cleanses than where they do it too fast for me to keep up.

I could be wrong but I don’t remember the number being so low.

It's definitely low. I know I've never seen more than 5 lit at once as Plague, so the number has to be around 5 or 6.
Next time you are survivor get sick and count the fountains.

Will do

what if she has iridescent seal
0 -
That add-on is so ass because of the penalties. Plus if it's a game where 2-3 gens pop your first chase you will seriously lose out on Corrupt, and due to being forced into it you won't be able to spread enough sickness enough to get it from fountains.

She can’t be in four places at once, if she has a apple then you might wanna cleanse but that is still iffy.
*edit, I was thinking about a different add on. Iridescent seal isn’t very good.

This strat is only viable in a 4 man SWF group. Solo teammates won't be able to coordonate their cleanses in such way + you need to cleanse when Plague is far away from you, otherwise she can just grab her Corrupt Purge and down you.

Plague is highly underrated, especially with the new dying light. Can really bring the game to a halt.

To be fair you can get equally as bodied if you don't cleanse when playing solo. Especially if she has Thana/DL.
And solos can understand whats the optimal strategy. When they see Plague with Thana/DL they should know to cleanse super faster to reset fountains.

I never said you should never cleanse while playing solo. And solos still can't coordonate their cleanses, one cleanse at the wrong time and the entire team can be doomed.

I like upping the challenge though.

I cleanse if my teammates do. If they don't, I don't.

The one time I have gone complete apeshit on a survivor teammate was when we were facing a plague.
I'm there, on the hook, fully corrupted. Claudette rescues me.
Keep in mind I'm fully broken from the plague, and Claudette just has just a wisp of it for rescuing me.
The stupid *INSERT EXTREMELY FOUL WORD HERE* went to the pool 5 meters in front of the hook and cleansed it off herself with me right there next to her, puking and broken.
I chased that stupid bleepity bleep all over the map trying to puke on her. I eventually found the killer and ratted her out I was so pissed off.
I switched to killer the next map and continued my rampage into the next game.
Look, I can get it if you want to get that crap off of you. But shouldn't the priority go to the guy who's fully sick and BROKEN from the plague before you go and use that damn pool?

Most people don't know this, but walking doesn't increase your sickness.
There have been times where this saved me because I was about to become fully sick and the killer was about to hit me. Therefore, I walked and let the killer hit me, then continued to run as a become broken.

Yep

Honestly not cleansing doesn't achieve much. In all the matches were survivors were adamant on staying broken they all ended dead. All they achieved was to get me bored since I ended up not using my power anymore.
This idea that a powered up Plague is an unbeatable force of nature is totally wrong imo. A Plague with Corrupt Purge can easily be countered with stealth since she has to go out of her way to reach a fountain (unlike Myers who can tier up right behind you).
All in all, there are times where you should not cleanse, and times when you should.

Yes they can. You just wait until everyone is sick, then you all rush fountains. If one of you is also smart enough to have been working on a gen and return to get sick again, you can use the last fountain and force her to get Corrupt, denying her more Corrupt in the process.
I've coordinated with solo good survivors all the time. No comms, we just understood what the other was doing and what the smart thing to do was. Granted that's not going to be the norm, but to say solos can't coordinate is simply a false statement.

Cleansing before you’re broken isn’t smart play. Choosing not to heal is effective on most killers, Plague is included in this.
If every survivor knows how to loop then not cleansing is quite effective.

It irks me to see someone cleanse and then unhook someone who's sick 😐 I wonder if they have a brain at all when that happens and especially when they do the fountain right by a survivor that just got hooked
1 -
The new mechanics have been added, it's called Dying Light and Surge.
0 -
They dont really camp unless they've been genrushed though , see people will do it just for quick unhooks

I just like to wash my face. Fountains are the only way to do so :(
/s.
I sometimes cleanse if I coordinate it so we can get all of the fountains cleansed at once so it resets.
