What non-meta build have you been using lately to great success?
For killer, I main Legion (I know), and most people will tell you that the most effective tactic available for playing Legion is a slow down build. Usually consisting of the green duration add-on (Something Sketchbook, I always forget the name), either Legion Pin or Defaced Smiley Pin, with Ruin, Dying Light, and Thanatophobia for the perks, with whatever you want for the forth. I usually swap ruin for Devour, and either BBQ, Pop, or Undying for the fourth.
Lately, however, I've been having a blast with a slug build. For Legion. Still the Sketchbook, with Defaced Smiley Pin. If i catch a bunch at a time, everyone having Mangled really helps. Third Seal, Undying, Knockout, and Nurse's Calling. Then, any indoor map. I know Deerstalker is usually the go to, but I find that being able to see survivors healing anyone on the ground is equally as useful, if not more so.
Any builds that y'all like that work surprisingly well without being "meta?"

Wraith and trapper undying devour make your choice and some slowdown surge ( lol got called a camper with this build)

For survivor:
- Dark Sense
- Inner Strength
- Red Herring
- Diversion
You'd be surprised what you can make the killer do.
7 -
Tenacity, Unbreakable, Flip Flop, Power struggle. Free escape if your slugged, pain if you aren't.

I've been having a blast with

It's funny when the killer whiffs.

Surveillance, M&A, Stridor, Deathbound.
No hiding, thank you very much.

On Huntress:
Iron Maiden, Iron Grasp, Hex: Ruin, Deerstalker
I have no idea how or why it works.

BP farming build. I need a lot of BP as I'm P3 all my characters.
BT, Kindred, WMI, WGLF.
Also, I was a healer for years in another game, I like having an altruistic build. It's not my main build, but I do love it when I play it.

Hmm. At least synergy with Iron Maiden.

Blight- Spirit Fury, Enduring, Devour Hope, and Undying, with double speed addons and play hyper aggressively and go head first into every pallet.

That build works because you're preying on solo players. Go against an average SWF team and you're screwed.
Personally, I like my aggressive Legion build. Dying Light, Thana, Enduring, Infectious Fright, and the mangled add-on. Works the same agasint solo's as SWF.

Iron will, spinechill, lithe and balanced landing I basically put in the two exhaustion perks to confuse everyone but it's actually worked out well on a lot of maps
0 -
Decisive Strike, Sprint Burst, IronWi... oh wait. Adept Quentin + Lithe
2 -
Bond, Open-Handed, Kindred, and Small Game.
I love information, and this build quenches my thirst. I'll always know where everyone and thing is, meaning I'll always be focused and busy - whether it be on objectives, finding totems, or even saving teammates in a chase or from a hook. When doing generators, this build also lets me watch people get chased which reduces the monotony of holding M1.

Gearhead and oppression are a fun combo. If Gearhead worked with great skill checks it would be even better

As far as Legion goes, though, Dying Light + Thanatophobia with Mangled Add-on is meta.
0 -
Trickster with Monitor and Abuse, Nurse's Calling, Sloppy Butcher, and Agitation.
For the life of me I could not explain why it works. Half the time Survivors act like I don't have a terror radius and let me get free m1s. The other half the time they make greedy plays in front of me and Agitation wrecks them. I don't know why they do any of it.

On survivor i like running appraisal, plunderers instinct, streetwise, and open handed. Especially as elf dwight. Christmas came early everyone!
0 -
Thana maybe, but I've not seen anyone using dying light, on any character, in more than a year.

I enjoy playing with either no mither, self care, solidarity and second wind. Or balance landing, lithe, dead hard and sprint burst. Ya know for the memes. 😂😂😂😂

Wraith - MYC / Dragon's Grip / Pop / BBQ - With All-seeing and Boneclapper. Works for me really well.
Doctor - Starstruck / Distressing / Oppression / Surge

Meta for Legion is the slow down build. Dying Light + Thanatophobia. Usually Legion Pin instead of Defaced Smiley Pin though. Making survivors broken keeps Thanatophobia up longer. Also usually ruin, too, cuz Legion can utilize ruin quite well. It's generally considered Legion's BEST build, as Deep Wounds wastes time already, and this build just stacks on things that make it take forever for survivors to do anything.

As a pig main, been playing Hex pig or how I'd like to call, Sidequest Pig.
-Devour
-undying
-ruin
-thrill of the Hunt
Add-ons, tampered timer, and increase time searching boxes.
It's a scummy build in my opinion but the idea is to bring the game to a crawl with overwhelming the survivors with objectives. Take off your trap or you die, find devour before I get 5 stacks, find undying so you can deal with the other perks, find ruin so you can actually progress the gens while finding the other stuff, and find thrill so you can do everything else faster.
Oh and RNG might screw you with the boxes in a large map soo. Oh since I have thrill and it takes like 20 seconds to destroy hexes, if I'm nearby, I'm gonna interrupt you and you have to do it all over again, same with boxes.
Scummy build again but it's fun to relish in the survivors suffering.

I like that. I'll have to give it a go.
