What perk build do you use for your killer and does it make your life easier?
I currently run on my Clown:
Bamboozle, Thrilling Tremors, PGTW and Brutal Strength. Oh my god, it's a life saver.

Agitation + Iron Grasp + Mad Grit + Pop Goes the Weasel (on Pig)
Does it make my life easier? No, because it is a meme build, so it probably makes it harder. But it is still funny.

Spirit with:
Spirit Fury, Enduring, Save The Best For Last, BBQ and Chili.
I don't really know whether or not it makes my life easier, nothing I use slows gens down but its just what I've got used to. People never really expect Spirit Fury and Enduring on a Spirit though so it catches a lot of people off guard.

I love going full anti-gen on my Plague:
- PGTW, Surge, Thanaphobia, Dying Light
Might swap in Corrupt Intervention for tighter matches and Surveillance if I see 4 blendettes

Trapper: Infectious Fright, Corrupt Intervention, Save the best for last, BBQ. This build is amazing because of it's incredible synergy. As a trapper you need to keep your momentum going along with having enough time to prepare for traps
Infectious synergies super well with STBFL due to the fact you can keep the slugathon going and going and keep putting down pressure, I'll talk more about my builds if anyone wants to know

Legion:
Sloppy Butcher, Thanatophobia, Nurse's Calling, Hex: Ruin
Can't state how good it is at very top tier, but I managed to climb four ranks (from rank 15-14 to rank 10 in a matter of only a few hours played) with this build. The slowdown it gives is absolutely amazing, and contrary to what people on these God forsaken forums spout, most people are pretty good sports about the build. (Probably because they have some freakin killer variety for once. That and I don't play like a #########.)

Ghostface :
Dying light + Nurses calling + ( those 3 can be either in 2 slots = PGTW / Thana / Sloppy butcher )
with dying light later i am even okay with eating non obssesion ds since i milked from that guy already 1-2 stacks , sloppy butcher is kinda nice because dying light makes 33 % faster for obsession healing ,
with this build your so strong in late , and its scary for survivors do gen rush while injured because gf no tr is scary , so its important to grab smb from gen or even stalk surprise 1shot them , to snowball from that
avoid stalking unless there is either open place when uk u cna easily do 99 ^ farm or ther are 2-4 survivors so u can 99 % them all, but ye its better just scaring them with hitting
yes no ruin , i made rank 4 only gf with this build and found it way better than using ruin

Hex: Ruin, Nurses Calling, PGTW, BBQ
Yes it's definitly helping me to slow down the gens and finding survivors.
0 -
Legion: PGTW, BBQ&Chilli, (Nurses calling or Thanatophobia/ Sloppy Butcher) and Bloodhound. I like running bloodhound because I get to many stealthy/immerse survivors. It just makes it easier to track them down. If I get a big map though were survivor can run to pallets to pallets this build is not very effective, but it’s pretty darn good.

My slow down the game Legion:
Ruin+PGTW+Sloppy Butcher+Thanatophobia
Maybe in future I will replace Ruin with DL when I will get it. You know, to slow the game down even more.
0 -
I run BBQ, Shadowborn, Make Your Choice and Thrilling Tremors.
It's my "Just chilling, killing" build that lets me play killer in a relaxing environment while I focus on one survivor at a time and use Thrilling Tremors to prevent me from tunneling.
0 -
Legion: Infectious Fright, Sloppy, Discordance, STBFL
I’m using recovery speed/mend speed add ons and omg is it amazing. IF is so good on them I want to mix in dark devotion to mind mess with survivors 👻

Hag: Ruin, Monitor & Abuse, Nurse's calling and BBQ. I plan to replace bbq with Make your choice once I get it.
I'd like to start a Freddy build next. Maybe some combo of PGTW, Ruin, Nurse's, Tremors/surveillance, bbq. Idk

Any killer: Distressing, Beast of Prey, BBQ, Whispers
The first three perks make it easier to earn as many Bloodpoints as possible. Whispers is one of my favorite tracking perks, letting me know when I'm in a dead area of the map so I don't waste my time looking around an abandoned gen or something.

Legion (rank 5-3)
Shadowborn, Monitor, BBQ and Thanatophobia
It helps legion massively (feral frenzy)

The Wraith
Add-ons
- "Windstorm" - Blood
- "Windstorm" - White
Perks
- Barbecue & Chili
- Hex: Devour Hope / Make Your Choice
- Enduring
- Spirit Fury
And yes, this build helps me greatly.
Barbecue & Chili helps in a number of ways.
First: Bloodpoints.
I don't need to explain that. (Also, Deviousness is pretty easy on him.)
Second: The auras are normally just okay on him.
In fact, i think they're moreso used on him to know if hard camping is more appropriate for the situation.
However, even if you only run 1 "Windstorm", and it's "Windstorm" - Mud, it's already worth it to run the Perk just for the auras. (That is, if you dislike camping like i do.)
With "Windstorm" - Mud alone adding so much more movement speed, it's all you need to profit from getting the auras.
Third: It also synergises greatly with the next 1/2 Perk(s), which come up now...
Hex: Devour Hope is my Fun™ generator, nothing else.
Yeah, there's a moderate chance this'll get cleansed before you make (good) use of it.
Heck, i'm just glad it doesn't give itself away immediately like Hex: Ruin.
But since fun is subjective, i, unlike most others, don't really mind all that much if it gets cleansed quickly.
The 2-Token reward is absolute trash btw, changing that should have priority over any bug fixes.
The 5-Token bonus is pretty hardcore: Even if someone hasn't been hooked yet, they be ded.
And just outright removing someone is always a hard hit on the remaining team unless it's endgame.
But the real power is right there in the middle: Good ol' Exposed.
Since Wraith is pure M1, it makes him pretty simple to play, but also benefits the most from it.
And actually landing the Surprise Attack can make it incredibly satisfying: No chases, just carnage.
But even i get bored of running the same build sometimes, which brings me to Make Your Choice.
It took me pretty long to discover how good this is (6 months ago?), but oh dear lord is this good.
Of course, it's especially good with any "Windstorm(s)".
Don't like your Hex Totem cleansed and don't care that much for killing?
This is a fantastic back-up!
Hook someone, cloak immediately and just run away.
Why cloak? Well...
- Did they unhook outside of 32 meters, which is the same distance as your Terror Radius? Great, time to use Make Your Choice! (Or the unhooked if you can only find them. (Just like camping, i don't really enjoy tunneling.))
- Did they unhook within 32 meters, to either avoid Make Your Choice, use Borrowed Time, or both? No problem! You cloaked, so the unhooked person is still up for grabs now. (I would go for the unhooked one in this case unless i don't see them, though it's not my favorite thing to do.)
Enduring + Spirit Fury.
Ahh, the good ol' "M1 Killers will like this" combination.
"But the counter to that is to just drop a tad earlier than you normally would!"
Yes yes, i am fully aware.
So why do i still run it?
Because literally no one i verse does this! 🤣
And i get around in ranks, i go everywhere except red ranks.
Anyway, plan is simple: Hold W, then press SPACE once you've recovered from the stun.
Sometimes there's a window, but you'll be fine.
Now here's the juicy part...
This combination is not optimally used too often.
Sure, you can probably land a hit after insta-breaking the Pallet in that one lonely jungle gym.
But you don't actually wanna give up on mindgames completely.
Once you have a charge, try to save it.
You need this for the "safer" locations, like the Killer Shack.
There's a very good chance you'll land the hit there after insta-breaking that Pallet.
This combination also allows for some amazing animation cancelling.
Imagine someone at the Healthy Health State, baiting you behind an upright Pallet.
They'll go for another round on the loop if they see even the slightest hesitation from you.
You have a Spirit Fury charge? Go for it!
Sometimes you'll have a successful hit, but they'll still drop the Pallet.
Your successful hit animation now gets replaced by the short stun animation.
Add the fact that the Pallet is now gone, and you might just end the chase right then and there.
It's not common, so don't make a build based on that, but it's great to keep in mind.
Welp, that's mine.
Not all of these are facts btw, i'm sure some of you reading this like other stuff more than this.
Thanks for reading.
i know you skipped most, you lazy 😜

Nurse:
Whispers
BBQ
Bloodhound/I'm All Ears
Infectious Fright
It takes a ton of effort to become good enough with Nurse to play entirely without slowdown perks, but once you get there it's so damn good. Infectious Fright is probably the best perk on Nurse due to her ability to catch up to survivors faster than any other killer. Generally the pressure you build up with one downed and one slugged is enough to compensate for generator slowdown perks. Plus I love non-stop snowballing.

Legion with Sloppy, Thana, Pop, and either Ruin or Corrupt. Is he a ######### killer? Yes, but with this build with a little luck you can get to rank 1 if you play good enough.

My current cookie-cutter killer build is:
- Barbecue & Chili: I frankly wouldn't use it if it weren't for the BP incentive, because the tracking isn't terribly helpful 90% of the time. I can't wait to unlock all teachable perks and "finish" all my main characters, so that I can swap this out for Discordance.
- Hex: Ruin: It works great when the RNG is in my favor.
- Pop Goes the Weasel: My other standard game length extender, although I might swap it out for Franklin's Demise if I see a lobby full of items.
- Whispers: Cannot live without this, on any killer.

Been playing GF with
Thana, Nurses, Ruin (play to rngejus)
And Thrilling Tremors, which has surprisedly become one of my favorite perks. It buys you a bit of extra time and also helps you with tracking.
I never stalk with this build, just to be clear.
