Occasional instant pallet break
WrAiTh Is WeAk To PaLlEtS0 -
That sounds good to me. I don't have Fire Up or Spirit Fury yet but I'm not far from unlocking them.0
-
That sounds like an over stacking of perks and addons just to deal with pallets. One or two of those options should be sufficient which leaves you other options, like Ruin or NOED. BBQ or Bitter Murmer.0
-
@sixty4half I think it was a meme build. But yeah usually now I run Enduring, Ruin, Bloodhound (Waiting for Nurse's Calling) and Sloppy Butcher. Don't have bbq yet.1
-
There is a Wraith addon that does what sloppy butcher does when you land a surprise attack. I like to use bloodhound when I use that addon.0
-
@sixty4half so with that add on I can basically run Sloppy Butcher without actually running the perk? Instead using the slot for something else? I mostly run Sloppy Butcher for the slowed healing0
-
Yes, but there are drawbacks. The addon only activates on surprise attacks, so if there is a pallet nearby or they run Sprint Burst it's hard to use. And theres the slowed healing you mentioned.
I find perk slots more valuable than addon slots except in the case of some purple and red addons. I think it's a green addon you're burning. I wouldn't run them both, that's redundant0 -
Cloak and uncloak during a chase to close the gap between you. More affective if you use whirlwind and Swift hunt together. Also a great way to get tons of Devious points for him. Though0
-
@SteveyHooves I keep forgetting to cloak to catch up to people. Thanks. I have a few purple windstorms and swift hunts saved so will try that0
-
@sixty4half If I do run that add on I'll most likely replace Sloppy Butcher with bbq when I have it. I've unlocked bbq as a teachable awhile ago but not had the luck to get it on Wraith yet0
-
Any of them work. Even with them your speed is increased a lot. I am new to the wraith and i haven't looked up any guides for him or anything so I'm learning it all by playing.0
-
I was thinking of running double Windstorm with MYC. Any idea how that is? Thanks for the builds and advice by the way. I appreciate it.0
-
@SteveyHooves I've started to try running ahead of survivors and body block pallets and windows. Seems to work very well for me. Somehow forgot about cloaking mid chase to catch up though.1
-
The "Windstorm" has gone through a pretty big change, but honestly, it's about just as much worth it as before.
Since the speed boost for uncloaking is now standard, i'm actually glad these changed, since you don't need much more than just that little bit it gives you as a standard.
But being able to go from one Generator to the next is SO good now thanks to the new versions.
One of the reasons Hillbilly is so popular is to just bolt it from point A to B.
Granted, this doesn't give you THAT amount of speed, but it's so much better than the standard speed.
Especially for maps like Azarov's Resting Place, that map kills slow Killers if the Survivors are decent or more.Other than that, you can never go wrong with "Swift Hunt".

@Boss Personally I'm very happy they changed Windstorm as before it was sorta the only add on you'd ever see a Wraith use. With the changes I think there's alot more that can be done with them. And like you said Swift Hunt is still something you can't go wrong with. I've been running the Ghost add on alot myself and am catching alot of people off guard with it0

In fact, i'm surprised it's a Common, i'd expect an Uncommon rarity.
Not complaining, just...y'know.0 -
@Boss it does seem quite powerful compared to other common add ons. I've heard it has some interesting moments when used with the Beast add on and is powerful with the Clapper add ons0

@Boss I know. I made a video of it when it came out. It's really fun to catch people off guard with. Although I'm still not the best at killer so I messed up alot in it lol. Still catch people off guard is fun. Though is it just me or have there been alot of moments where the killer starts an interrupt only for the survivor to just step out of the way and the killer hits nothing?0

i mentioned this is a different thread. i'll have a feeling The ghost might get Nerfed to 3 or 4 seconds

I'm enjoying the new Windstorm to beat survivors to vault points and pallet drops and just stand there, waiting for them thinking they're going to loop me, only to bump into my now uncloaking Wraithness lol1
-
@Khroalthemadbomber I do that without Windstorm but can only assume it's alot better with it. And it is hilarious to see them trying to get past before they realise that you're blocking it lol0
-
Yeah they're constantly looking behind themselves and not realizing you've slipped in front of them. It's on par with people that have lit RBTs on their heads trying to shove you off hatch as Pig.
Fun fact. For whatever reason you can't sit cloaked on top of hatch as Wraith vs a survivor with a key. It shoves you off it. Quite a good distance away actually.0 -
@Khroalthemadbomber Really? Does it push any other killer away or just Wraith?0
-
No idea. Just had it happen to me the other day much to my shock. Someone told me it's meant to counter collision, but if a survivor can't jump in a hatch with a killer on it normally it doesn't make sense for a key to counter it lol.0
-
@Khroalthemadbomber That is weird. I'll test it with Friends at some point to see if it happens with everyone or just Wraith.0
-
I dominate with the Wraith. Consistent 4ks with the occasional 3k.
I've pipped every game I've played with him since buff.
I'm running Remember Me, Shadowborn, Ruin and BBQ
I usually run the green add on that gives them hemorrhage and mangled for surprise attack and the green add on that makes it quicker to come out of cloak.

@Dwight_Confusion Is Remember Me good on the Wraith? I've heard mixed opinions about it. I actually wanted to run Blood Warden for awhile but found it's too easily ruined by SWF0
-
@Khroalthemadbomber It seems every killer is pushed out of the way if the survivor uses a key to open the hatch. I think it's to do with the interaction zones being different sized when using a key to open it and when you find it normally.0

You need to tunnel to make it worthwhile.
You need to stumble upon the obsession, then once you "find" them... hit them 2 times to down. If they have d strike they get off, if not... then no worries.
You need to soft camp, down again ( 3 hits) If they have borrowed time then there's an extra hit.
I usually kill the obsession with 4 hits. Sometimes 5.
That's 40 seconds on the gate or 45 seconds.
That really helps things in the end. Assuming you've already killed the obsession and maybe 1 other. It slows things down, and with the cloaking speed add ons you can check around easily.

@Dwight_Confusion I see. Thanks I'm not too far off unlocking Freddy's perks as teachables so I'll try that when I can. Since I'll basically have to kill the obsession for it to work properly is Dying Light or Rancor good to take as well?0
-
I'm surprised no one mentioned "The Beast" - Soot. What an amazing addon. We can now use a TR based build for Wraith, and at this point survivors don't expect a cloaked Wraith when they hear the heartbeat. I guess it's not a super powerful build, but it has a strong element of surprise, and it's definitely a fun one.

@George_Soros That sounds interesting. What other add on would you run with it? Windstorm, Swift Hunt? Or the Ghost add on I've heard has some interesting moments with the Beast add on0

Or the Ghost add on I've heard has some interesting moments with the Beast add onI really like using it with the addon that has the puts Mangled on them. Add Distressing and Coulrophobia. You can just damage one after another, they take painfully long to heal up. I have been beaten with this build on large maps, but it worked for me beautifully on The Game and I'd expect good results on Coal Tower or other small maps. I also like to make use of complete invisibility when you stand still, watching them crawl around looking for me, expecting Leatherface or a Clown
Somewhat offtopic, but I think people should use more "fun builds" instead of tryhard builds. Like, most people don't expect Leatherface to have a Speed Limiter on. Sometimes you can actually hit one survivor two times with the same chainsaw charge, because once they're hit, they expect to go down and stop moving, which is hilarious.
0 -
@George_Soros I agree. Honestly when I have all the perks needed I will probably stop running the builds everyone expects and start running the more fun ones. Sometimes they do better because survivors aren't used to it0
-
I'm having success with BBQ, Ruin, Brutal Strength, and either STBFL or Sloppy Butcher. As for add-ons, any combination of Windstorm, Swift Hunt, and Shadow Dance seem to be amazing. I right now still do Swift Hunt and Windstorm but for different reasons. Also, if/when they revert the pallet stun hitbox changes, I would take off either Brutal for Enduring or put Enduring on as the 4th perk instead of STBFL or Sloppy Butcher.
Depending on your playstyle, Make Your Choice is also insane on Wraith, but I don't usually drop everything to go back to the hook because someone proc'd it.0 -
A fun meme build to do is Enduring, Brutal Strength, Bamboozle, and Fire Up with double Shadow Dance add-ons. You incinerate pallets and delete windows. It's Delete Everything Wraith.

@Maximus7 both of those set ups sound good to use. Thanks. I'm still trying to get bbq at the moment but not had the luck to get it yet. As for Make Your Choice I think it helps keep people off gens a bit more and get a free down every now and then. People with the exposed effect on them generally hide until the effect expires0

People with the exposed effect on them generally hide until the effect expiresFor that purpose, I'd rather use Sloppy Butcher. Causes them to spend more time healing themselves and less time on generators. Especially if you can get a good slug going, it can cause the game to slow down to a crawl.
0 -
@Maximus7 That's true. I'm currently running Sloppy Butcher as I don't really have anything else. I try to injure or down as many people as I can rather then chase just 1 person. Seems to work alot better. Though I'm running Bloodhound as well because nothing better is available at the moment. Bloodhound while not the best perk definitely makes finding injured survivors alot easier. Though I'll probably replace it with something else when I can0

But then again, this assumes you find the obsession and can kill them quickly.
Ruin, Dying Light, Remember Me, and Blood Warden is a fantastic setup.

@Dwight_Confusion sounds like a gen rush counter when it works. Ruin would help give more time to find and kill the obsession. While Remember Me and Bloodwarden will make the late game stronger. Sounds good to me. Think I'll try that at some point. I wish Bloodwarden could be activated more reliably though.0

I've been playing as the Wraith alot since his changes and I'm wondering what are some builds I could try? I don't mind whether they are the most effective builds or just meme ones I just want something new to try.There's only one real build for wraith anymore:
double windstorm and anything else you want.
anything else and you either camp every hook or deal with the sadness of his extra nerf
0 -
@FEARTHEGHUS I have literally been avoiding camping as often as possible and still killing at least 2-3 on most matches and 4 on the others when played right he is strong now. It's just like how the Hag was before her buffs. Strong when played right but most couldn't seem to do that. I am a Hag main so I would know that but started playing Wraith so I had someone else at level 50 so I could prestige her. Wraith was not nerfed again I've played him long enough to see he's better then before. If I play as anymore for sadness of a nerf I'll play as Nightmare instead.0
-
I've played a bit with him and it still looks like chase perks (Enduring, Brutal Strength, etc) and instant down perks (NOED, Devour, etc) are still good with him.
There's this new add-on meta I've seen other wraiths use. The Ghost and ether Bone Clapper or Coxcombed Clapper for pure fuckery.
Then you got the Shadow Dance add-ons mixed with Brutal Strength for pure Pallet/Generator destruction or with Bamboozle for window denial.
Overall, not bad considering what he was like before.
0 -
@Mc_Harty I'll have to get Bamboozle at some point. Keep hearing good things about it. As for the other perks I have most of the perks you mentioned already. I've heard Shadow Dance will work very well with the Serpent add on when it's fixed and Ghost works extremely well with the Clapper add ons I've noticed. As others have said it may get nerfed since Ghosts effect is very powerful for a common. Although it only really works with Clapper add ons I think0
