    I have virtually nothing unlocked on pc so I'm rocking his three own perks + deathbound 😭 DG and blood favor have been more useful than I'd've thought, but I'm not sure I'd run them on him if I had more choice

    Third best killer in the game against a good opponent. I guess that comes with the assumption of mouse and keyboard controls. You can get some shocking hits if you play on a high sensitivity mouse and rebind Q and E for turning to pre-flick around corners. I've nearly hit 180s with Umbra Salts.

    I think he's the most balanced killer releases so far. If you're good, you'll dominate. If you succ, you'll succ.

    Survivors have a ton of counterplay, and his ability requires you to use your brain. So I think that he should remain untouched

    He's a fun and effective killer to play. The only problems are that he can be pretty buggy sometimes, his FOV is too low, and he has a lot of add-ons that are debatably garbage (slam duration add-ons, Adrenaline Vial, Placebo Tablet).

    I use Q/E and the mouse combined. Maxed mouse and controller sens in game settings. Q/E is good for precise steering and the mouse is good when I need a lot of flick. If I need to flick fast, I'll mash the button and flick the mouse at the same time.

    The best part is that it allows you to cut corners really sharp. I pre-turn with Q/E until I'm just about to slam the wall and then flick with the mouse to lunge 90 degrees for the hit.

    I love Blight.

    I wish he was actually good on console.

    He's alright, or alblight perhaps. But on console not that easy to play I have to say.

    He is terribly optimized for console. I wish they put more consideration into people who want to play him on platforms other than pc.

    I haven't played as The Blight so take this opinion 100% from a survivor's standpoint: I've never felt cheesed by Blight, you have to actually think about how you're gonna juke him. He makes for exciting matches, similar to Billy, because he can come flying in out of nowhere.

    I like going vs. him.

    Blight is like Nurse in the sense that ranging from new to ok players, he seems weak, with good players, he seems very strong, but at the top level of play? Blights who rarely if ever miss their Lethal Rushes? He's genuinely broken. You cannot beat the best Blights, especially if they have a stall Perk or two. You literally can't win.

    Also Blight Tag is one of his best addons, especially when combined with Shredded Notes.

    Probably their best designed Killer (I still prefer Legion, but that's only after they changed them around a ton). Not too strong, not too weak, very fun all around. Shame no one plays him.

    About the same as Nurse. The time spent on console readjusting after a headbutt or trying to turn into something makes you miss hits that PC players would hit. It's a frustrating experience, which is a shame because I enjoy playing him.

    I agree with the original comment, his turn rate is not great on console, also he has arguable the least consistent lunge attack after lethal rush. Where to begin with it? (Hit box size too small, lunge turning arc extremely restricted - even on max sensitivity)


    I do enjoy playing him though and that is what the game is all about, so hats off to the developers for making him.

    If he wasn’t so dogshit on console I’d actually like him. BHVR should really give out refunds to console players that bought him, his rush is literally for mobility on console, borderline impossible to hit anyone with it unless they don’t move. Harder to play than nurse on console, I’d rather bash my head into a wall then continue to use him.
