I've tried, and I just can't see it. She is utter trash to me and I can't see how people do well with her. Please explain!

    Know all the ######### structures that survivors run to? Strong windows, shack, main buildings etc. Put a trap near the entrance so it covers the most routes. Then trap all the sneaky routes from gen to gen, or gen to loop. The pathes you would take while playing survivor.

    Hear 3 gens pop and then watch everything fall apart for the survivors, while they run into your traps.

    You play her kinda like trapper. but the trap placement is different. still on loops, but different.


    the most important thing to remember, is that you DO NOT defend the entire map. No, don't even think about going to that corner gen, NO.

    Hag is fairly similar to trapper in the way she should be played.

    Playing her means that your first priority should be set up traps that aren't too far apart. If they're too far apart you won't be able to react to people setting off your traps and they'll have been useless.

    You can't commit to chases that are away from your traps. If you can push the survivors into traps then it's fine to commiy to a chase, but if not then you shouldn't chase that survivor as your a 110 movement speed killer.

    Knowing where to and where not put traps comes with game knowledge. If you have extra traps putting them in strong loops is never a bad idea.

    She can camp and keep her pressure at the same time. Very strong killer.

    You must understand survivor pathing. When you understand this, any disruption that takes survivors off gens will result in a cascade of teleport hits. You put on Corrupt, you get out prep before anyone even knows it's Hag, defocus on chasing.

    Hag is excellent vs solos but requires a bit of practice. A good start is to understand yr trap radius, visible around the trap as blurred air. One trap can cover both use of a pallet and anyone trying to path near that pallet, for instance. With efficient use of radius, it's v difficult to not set off your traps.

    You also must space traps out adequately so they aren't wasted. Keep in mind anyone you hit will recieve a speed boost, and know how far they can get with it, what they can reach. Your aim is for what they reach to be trapped. Then you get a 5 second chase and a down.

    Your down allows you to force survivors into an area. Trap that area. Snowball.

    Oh, also identify at game-start the 3 gen you want to ensure survives to endgame. Localize yr prep to ensure you can almost always teleport to a trap that's set off.

    As someone who mains hag I have a few tips to playing her.

    Set up traps before you start to chase survivors.

    Your traps should be around loops and wherever you think survivors are going to run through the most.

    Never just chase a survivor your a 110 killer. Try to push them to your traps you can also place a couple of traps when they get to loops while you're in chase with them.

    Some matches you may have to three gen which hag can capitalize on that pretty good.

    My hag build is : corrupt intervention, make your choice, nurses calling and monitor and abuse.

    I can usually get a 3-4k unless it's a corn map and that because I can't see. Good luck to you.

    Trap half of the map, press the button whenever someone triggers a trap, down them, hook them, trap them, press the button again when the traps get triggered and down the next survivor. Wow amazing you're a good Hag player already.

    Like trapper, you just gotta give away the early game to try to set up your traps. Very snowbally though once you get things going. Radiate your traps out from whoever you hook towards other gens. This will allow you to catch anyone coming in towards the hook or running out from the hook towards the gens.

    theres a dude that mains hag but i forget his name im sure someone can link it, but if you want to be a rank 1 hag you shouldnt really be chasing as the hag, you just want to set up traps in survivor paths so you can get easy hits and fast downs as they flee after being hit. her add-ons really change your play style though, i always run the range add-on because nothing sucks more than being out of range, trap duration is good if you have make your choice etc. so have a play see what works best for you, but the most common tips is dont chase, have your traps spread out, try place them in paths people will go whether thats towards a gen, loop or even running away. corrupt helps a bunch same as trapper
