Aside from the insane amount of tunneling and camping I see from people who play him, I can’t seem to figure out how to counter his power other than just pre-throwing every single pallet. At this point I just really hate going against him cause it takes out any kind of fun in chases. Somebody please enlighten me. This is at red ranks btw I don’t know how it is for other ranks...

    It's hiding and not being found in the first place. Similar to deathslinger, nurse, spirit, etc. All of those killers have very little to do with how good you are as a survivor and more to do with how good the killer is at landing their ability.

    I think you just have to dodge his attack as he spams it like 6 times

    After which there is a few seconds of cooldown where you can try to get away.

    I suggest the good Ol' Legion strat, rush gens, forget about totems, heals, chests, hooks wathever, pray he doesnt see you and try to get away ASAP.

    With the "hold the power if he vaults/drops I use it during animation lock if he doesnt I M1" strat the only way Ive dealed with him is Sprint Burst out of the way towards the area with less visibility, get out of sight and hope he lost me.

    Ignore everyone in these comments XD

    You bait as much as he does. Never overcommit to pallets or vaults, instead, try to make him cancel his power and see if you can get the drop or vault then. At pallets, you should run through it, wait out of sight to see if he gets within stun range, then hit the drop prompt to glide back to it and stun him. At a vault, wait for him to be at a position where he is not head on with the vault and los is blocked, then try a slow vault to try and mind f him. If he is head on with the vault, fake it twice with wiggly movement to try and bait the attack, then if he doesn't go for it, vault anyway because at least that way there is distance and a wall between you and him if he hits you. Or try running around the vault to circle back to it if you have enough distance.

    If you can get him to miss a punishment attack, leave the tile you're in and run as far away as you can...he has a major penalty after missing (or hitting for that matter) a ranged attack. Staying in the tile after he does shoot is giving him a free chance to do it again, and eventually you WILL get hit one way or the other. If you leave the tile and run away, you're extending the chase and making him waste a lot of time catching back up to you.

    If he misses then vault a window or drop a pallet. Force him into taking more awkward shots since it's easily avoided. His fake is his biggest weapon so that's what you need to be careful of.

    You have to bait him so he doesnt have enough time to fire, you see he cant strafe while planted so if hes going to shoot he cant follow you around the loop because he can only go forward, so if hes looking at you hes going to shoot , he also has to lead the shot and you can just dh or double back to dodge it..its honestly becoming easier and easier at tiles because of how many limitations it has..if hes following hes faking, if he looks at you hes going to shoot..out in the open its trickier but go figure right? He will start suffering soon..the line attack is too slow and limited for the long punish it has, heck if you know he will shoot..just run as he does and you will gain huge distance while he catches up
