Any pointers from our resident Myers mains?

Lately I've been trying to use Myers. Honestly I'm struggling with him.it seems to take so long to get out of tier 1. After that I hardly ever use tier 3 because again it takes forever to get there. My question is can you guys (and ladys) suggest any good builds. Perks and especially addons. The addons feel useless to me. Also any tips to help stalk survivors faster. Any advice is appreciated.

    Just learn when your survivors are gonna drop pallets and you'll get a good half stalk off as they do it. Also, make sure you're 99ing it and not just popping into tier 3 in a less than favorable situation. Also, you'll find survivors many times feed you a free 99 to tier 3 with their teabagging and other games.

    What kind of Myers are you wanting to go for? To really do well with him you'd need to actively use your tier 3 well and for big snowballs. His best builds tend to have bamboozle and infectious fright for ending chases very quickly and snowballing the last two perks could be pop and corrupt for slowdown. If you don't use your tier 3 you're just a meh m1 killer with no power and a slow start. That's all setting you up for failure against any decent survivors. One of the better Myers mains I've seen One Stalky Boy has a guide, but he uses both save the best for last and play with your food in his build. It could be harder to find success with those if you can't play around them properly.

    His best addons are going to depend on you. I prefer the addons that increase his stalk speed. That seems to be what would help you the most too. To be honest he's not addon dependent at all. His addons tend to just be little boosts.

    Perks: M&A is a must. Also, I run BBQ for points and location, PGTW to slow the gens, and discordance to know when 2 or more are on a gen.

    Add-ons: Dead rabbit. Paired with M&A, you have no TR at tier 2.

    J. Myers memorial to get super stalk speed.

    Don't tier 3 on 1 person if you can help it. Wait for at least 2,or it's a waste. Once you go into tier 3, it's hide and go seek until your out.

    @Kolonite unfortunately I get the survivors who do everything they can to block my stalking. Which is why it takes me so long to get out of tier 1. As for perks, I've been experimenting with several different things. I only have tier 1 of Stbfl but I think I'll use it all the time once I get tier 3. I've been using Nurses, Bbq, and Pop. I'm thinking I need to unlock Corrupt Intervention and use that to help me get through the early game.

    Even the faster stalk addons feel pretty meh unfortunately. I'll keep at it and check out the guide you recommended. Thanks for the advice.

    I've tried M&A with mixed results. Dead Rabbit is probably my favorite of his addons. It helps get right on them and gives me the occasional gen grab.

    Myers definitely isn't the strongest snowbally killer or killer in general sadly. If survivors are good at playing around him and breaking line of sight you can get starved pretty bad. Not much advice is going to be able to help there with how gimped he is at the start. It's mostly luck and positioning to get out of tier 1 quickly. Corrupt would help a lot with that because it brings the survivors to you. Save the best for laugh is terrible in tier 1. One hit on the survivor rips away 4 stacks instead of 2. Nurses, BBQ, and pop are find though. I'd replace nurses with infectious and add corrupt personally.

    When your doing poop your pants Myers (Jumpscare Myers) with either level 1 or level 2 wallhack add ons, I actually use play with your food. You'll find the sweet spot when to just turn around on survivors to end the chase and get the stack. The only issue is finding the obsession and the time it takes to get the stacks. May not be worth it for some, but I love barreling down on people with it.

    I've found Nurse's is actually extremely effective on Myers. I've interpreted so many heals with it. Infectious Fright is another perk I need to unlock.

    Minor point of order on M+A paired with Dead Rabbit. Dead Rabbit takes off 20% of your terror radius after Monitor, not a flat value. So it's a 6m terror radius in Tier 2 with M+A and Dead Rabbit. You're better off running either one by itself.

    I thought it gave you zero, or did they change something I'm not aware of? How can you get gen grabs then if you have a radius? 6 ain't much, but still enough to warn them to jump off the gen I would think...

    I've gotten grabs just using Dead Rabbit. I think they just aren't expecting you to be that close. Or are looking for you in the other direction.

    What I run on Myers is M&A, infectious fright, pop and nurse's calling.

    Addons I really like the dead rabbit, on T2 you get 6 meters of TR when not in a chase but when you get into T3 it gives you more snow potential with infectious fright.
