Is hag viable at rank 1 without perks and addons?

So I wanted to test a base hag with nothing at rank 1 and I managed to 4 man with 3 gens and it was shocking because I didn't expect that to happen. I play by controlling one half of the map and leaving the other to get worked on and then i'll force them to my traps. This works well with my range and trapping speed addons. But without addons it worked just as well. Is she viable without addons like Nurse and Billy. If she is, then ima just screw the addons. Btw I play survivor and killer, and I play every killer except freddy cause i didnt bother buying him.

    Well.. I'm a Hag main but I've never actually tried playing without perks. If you can play her right then yeah she's very strong but without perks gen rush might be a problem. Add ons don't matter as much in my opinion so go for it. Good luck if you do try using them more.

    She's totally viable without any perk or addon ; but the difference without Monitor & Abuse is noticeable since survivors are able to stealth you.

    I honestly don't get why people are still using setting trap speed addons, they're outdated, the Eggs are far better.

    She will completely ######### bad survivors (yes those are at rank 1 too), but when you verse an experienced SWF, you will just get genrushed sadly.

    The real problems occur when survivors set off traps for each other and you cant trap the important loops

    In a lot of cases, she is viable. I consider Hag top tier.

    Against serious survivors, only Nurse can get the job done.

    I main a hag and i do the same, which is to control one side of the map.
    U can do perfectly fine without addons.
    About the perks, they aren't that necessary, but they help a lot, especially MYC.
    I personally think that the hag is one of the best killers.

    Nope
    However on High Ranks on PS4 Survivors aren’t really THAT good so you can try everything 
    Just today I got a 4K as Freddy on Rank 3

    Hag is good with the right build and strategy. Add ons make it easier. Hit @SpaceCoconut up for a great guide.
