Any Good Huntress Build please tell me

As of now I am a pig main but I want to get good at multiple killers. I have a million Blood Points so I will upgrade anybody I need to. I want a second Main and I like Huntress a lot. I have a lot of perks unlocked just am not a fan of those killers abilities(yes I played them all at least 15 matches). The build I am thinking of using is 1.Pop 2.BBQ 3.Im All Ears 4.Corrupt Intervention/STBFL

    BBQ is just wonderful never let it leave your sights,

    STBFL doesn't work well on huntress especially against good players who will use your hatchets for distance it is unlikely to get many m1s

    Pop/Corrupt intervention are great but id recommend one or the other not both, corrupt for early game and pop for mid-late game

    Your other two perk slots should also be detection type perks, Whispers, nurses calling, discordance, and iron maiden as huntress has a strong power and basekit but to make up for the 110% movement speed and reloading you want to know where to go next as much as possible

    My build I usually run is BBQ, Nurses, Corrupt, and iron maiden for those fast reloads and cheeky free downs

    But don't take my word as what you need to do, have fun and experiment until you find something that suits you and your play styles I just recommend you try once or twice with some of the perks I recommended

    Why would you recommend not running Pop and CI? They work fine together imo.

    To help answer the question, though, I actually really like running Monitor & Abuse on Huntress. It helps with tracking when you're not in a chase, which is good since tracking is a big weakness of hers, and it gives you some surprisingly good stealth. Her lullaby is 40m and it isn't directional. Her TR with Monitor is 12m. So, if you think about that, only 9% of the area that can hear the lullaby will also hear the TR. What that means is 1) You're probably going to be starting chases with survivors from much closer to them, and 2) Survivors will be forced to play more carefully once they hear the lullaby because they know you can get really close to them before they'll hear the TR. It's important to prove to them that you can hit your hatchets, but once you do, Monitor helps you pressure all survivors within humming range.

    I probably wouldn't run it with or instead of BBQ, but Bitter Murmur is underrated on her too if you're accurate with your hatchets. People usually move away from the gen in a straight line once it's done, and that'll give you a chance to throw a really accurate long range hatchet and sometimes get a cheap hit. If you land it, that hit will pay dividends for the rest of the game too, because that survivor will have to respect you whenever they're out in the open. The more cautious you can make survivors play, the slower gens will pop, and the easier your life will be. Whether you can do that obviously depends on the map, but it can be great at times. Imagine this right after a gen pops in the cornfield on Coldwind, for example - it's great. Plus, tracking perks are generally a smart idea on Huntress.

    after I posted this I realized STBFL is useless on her. Now I am thinking of doing 1.BBQ because its BBQ 2.Im All Ears so after I throw a hatchet or m1 I know where they are going next 3.Corrupt so I don't get Gen-Rushed 4. I will upgrade Legion and get Iron Maiden for her. thx for the build

    Honestly 4 seconds reload vs 2 second reload doesn't seem like much but once you see and use the animation once every reload without will be sluggish, until you get iron maiden I recommend using pop+corrupt especially till you get comfortable enough to run less slowdown in exchange for more information perks

    Use Ralph’s build whispers, nurses, corrupt and BBQ. Sometimes Iron Maiden for quicker reload.

    Whispers, A Nurse's Calling, STBFL or Agitation (for survivors that try to sabo hooks or body block), and Devour Hope or Stridor.

    I tend to not like using slowdown perks because I think they're unhealthy for the game. I usually end up seeing the exit gates get powered in my games, but most survivors end up dying anyway because knowing how to slug well and prevent unhooks when near a stage change is the only know-how you really need.

    ^ this. Its a good Build, I am running it myself.

    Could also replace Corrupt with PGTW, but kicking Gens might be annoying.

    STBFL is not a good Perk for Huntress, most of the Hits you want to have are Hatchet Hits, so it will take time to build up Stacks. Let alone that you are a M1-Killer with 110% Movement Speed, quite painful without ability.
