Any tips for playing demo?

ok

first of all, Demo have 2 major playstyles

1.hidden portals

2.portals under gens

My build combine with method .2 is:

-Spirit fury enduring combo, ruin, pop

As you can see it is very aggresive and focusing on minimalizing chase time

for addons I go Black Heart and Barb's Glasses becose they are making Demo's chase potential so much better

go for shreds that gonna hit, risk, remember you can slide to pallet on L wall and killer shack.

all above depends on your game sense and overall game knowledge tho

you asked for some tips, that can be simple as it is that Demo is predator, go into chases, if it takes to long look for people under gens you set portals on (I know, I preffer this one coz it's more efficteve, just think. if you hide it you can't tell is someone under gen or not and if they destroy it it's worthless and by the time you are there the will vanish) to get another prey.

and that was aggresive playstyle. if you decide to play hidden portal I reccomend tinkerer or BBQ or both.

I'm better at teaching by telling not writing so I can also reccomend you watching all ,,pyrus" Demo guides on yt (yes, not bronx, trust me)

No problem, and let me know when your watch them ;)

Be mindful of your portals once there all set if you need a new one you have to hope survivors close one. Also your slower than survivors when holding your shred base kit so be careful when using shred at loops.

So, if Demo is pretty versatile and can fill a few niches. But here are some overall tips.

Portal Use

You should either place portals in obscured spots behind generators so you can sneak up on people minding their business. Red moss is very good for this and can help you quite a lot. The other type is general transportation. Put these in hard to reach spots across the map and use them if you know there are people there. They are best if they are hard to find and cleanse, so put these in spots where nobody will look, like completed generators or behind walls at the edge of the map. If you don't have Rotten Pumpkin, have 4 spread across the map and 2 in your back pocket so you can place them down. If you have Rotten Pumpkin, you can place down 5 and one that is destroyed every time you use it. This can help if you have a Rat Tail as well so you can teleport as fast as possible.

Shred Use

I'll put these down as dot points, since they are quicker and easier tips.

-On TL walls, if you're going round a corner, and you know someone is going for a window, precharge shred and do it the second you're around the corner. It's a 50/50 chance whether they go for the window or not, but if they go for the window, they don't have time to fake or double back, giving you a free hit. This goes for shack as well.

-If someone is holding W heading for a pallet or window, and you're in a position so that you can't M1 Lunge them, charge a "Baby Shred", where you charge to the very minimum, so that it's essentially just a Coup lunge. You should, in most scenarios, hit them before they get to the window.

-Going against the previous tip, if you're in the open with no loops within arm's reach, they WILL expect a shred to close distance. Hold the shred for 1.5-2 seconds, and M1 if they attempt to juke. Don't spam charge as they will begin to expect it. So be unpredictable with your shreds.

-This is the most important tip, which is BE UNPREDICTABLE. Be cheeky with portals, ambush those who aren't expecting it, we confusing with your shred fakes. The most important knowledge is to know when to shred. I can't exactly tell you when is a good time, but you'll learn as you play.
