How do you play Demo?
Starting to play him alot lately, and he is reaaaally fun to play, which is pretty weird, since i HATED playing AS him.
However, right now i use Ruin, Pop, STBFL (my dream perk for him, even if its only tier 1 yet) and BBQ (also tier 1)
I didnt really got that much on him yet since i just got him to P3 50 and still have to get all the perks.
When the match starts i instantly look around if i spawned near a gate and place a portals close enough so i can get alerted later if someone is opening the gate.
Otherwise i start patrolling gens and start chases. If possible i will place portals near gens so i can get notified if they start/continue working on it. If possible i try to place it as hidden as possible but to be honest i mostly use the portals for tracking instead of ambushing/traveling. If i notice someone is working on a gen and i am not in a chase i will warp there and pressure them of.
As for the shred, i only use it if i know i wont hit them with a basic attack which is also mostly at windows or tight passages then.
On the obsession i only use shred since i use STBFL.
On smaller loops where you cant mindgame that much i keep faking a shred so they either drop the pallet or keep running. If they drop > shred.
If they keep running > cancel and i may can get a normal hit sometimes, depending on the distance.
How do YOU play him and did you got some tips and maybe even some builds i could use once i got the perks?
Which addons are the best ones for him and which ones should i try to always run since they are common enough?
Right now i am mostly addon less or i use barbs classes and something else i forgot about.

I don't main Demo but I'm quite decent at them.
Shred is a powerful zoning tool. You go really, REALLY fast when shredding. Survivors will try to fake, try not to fall for it. Here's a tip: If they're carrying an item, the item disappears during the window vault animation. That'll be important to take note of (e.g: if they still have their item during the pre-vault animation then they're faking it, if they don't then it's safe to shred).

I never noticed that thing with the items. I will pay attention to it to use it to my advantage, thanks.

your playing him alright. he is not very strong. pallet break on shred is too slow even with the add-on. I just run classic build when the killer is weak. BBQ/Ruin/Noed/STBFL. Hope that either Ruin or NOED or 8 stacks of STBFL carry you.
He doesn't need chase perks really as shred already breaks pallets and his shred plays windows for you. Information is rarely needed on him as portals tell you where survivors are +general game-sense. Stealth perks aren't useful as demo is super loud. and constantly gives information of his location throughout entire match.
Nobody really play demo. he's probably as rare as facing plague/hag/clown.

Yw, also since Demo's shred is so fast you can charge it up and still be able to hit it while they're in the near middle of the vaulting animation.

I often completely forget that his portals exist (they're borderline useless most of the time) and constantly use his Shred. I've been using Lethal Pursuer/Corrupt Intervention/BBQ (yay BP)/Enduring.
0 -
His portals are actually such amazing tracking tools, especially if you got ruin.

Nod your head up and down. Survivors can't withstand the cuteness and come rushing forward to pet you. Then you eat them.

What should i eat first then?

- Identify a set of gens at the start of the match and place down portals next to them, this way you will be able to protect a 3 gen for a good chunk of the match
- Shred lets you break pallets faster then normal, so it's always worth charging it rather then pressing space bar
- Faking shred doesn't effect you if you only press the button rather then holding it, use this to make survivors think you'll shred and run away from windows
- Shred can launch you insanely far if used from a elevated surface, use this to close the distance on survivors
- Don't go for a shred if you're out in the open, going for the m1 is a lot safer
- identify when a survivor locks on to the vaulting animation, then charge shred and knock em down

Their hopes and dreams.

I use ruin, pop, tinkerer and usually BBQ/discordence.
I place portals somewhat close to gens but out of sight so they dont see them. This allows me to tp to them and remain hidden often giving me free hits.
Shred I use to zone, when they're locked within a small space or to reach further to get hits a vaults etc.
Ruin as best regression. Also regress gens while you setup
Pop as backup/late game
Tinkerer as it's a great ruin combo, allows me to keep track of gen progress and let's me portal all over the map and do a decent hit and run
BBQ/discordence just as extra info oh player locations, gen progress etc. Also discordence with tinkerer let's me know if I have time to stop it or not

Takes too long to set up. I'd rather go down someone and let Ruin get cleansed.
0 -
I only place portals when i got the chance for and its totally worth it for the value you can get out of it. I mostly 4kd so far with Demo on Rank 1
0 -
So have I and I don't use portals. In fact, I think he's one of the strongest and most uncounterable killers in the game, above even PH because PH takes too long. The ability to instantly shred at any time thanks to constant, unpunished spamming is crazy, I dont know why that's even a thing.

Demogorgon is Freddy at 0.5× speed
0 -
How?
0 -
You have immediate and guaranteed teleport as Freddy, with Demorgon you have to lose a lot of time to set up and survivors will ruin it anyway
0 -
I usually don't spend time setting up portals. I like to start my chases and whenever I down a survivor I spend 10 seconds placing a portal near a generator. It acts as a tracking tool and also a bit of slowdown if survivors decide to seal it.
0 -
Honestly I can't stand demogorgons gameplay and I'm terrible at him but how do portals actually help me anytime I play as him I basically get no opportunities for them
0 -
I don’t play him, but use both shred and portals they’re both useful and don’t just use one of them
0 -
Did you know if you charge shred, killer instinct activates and shows all survivors near any portals? I just discovered this a few days ago and its amazing for tracking, especially with the addon where you dont even have to charge a shred anymore.
If you got ruin you can get so much pressure with that.

Yea playing Demo is funny and he looks so cutie, that sometime i let them kill me lol.
0 -
I don't, and haven't played him since 2019. The only advice I can possibly give you is that his Shred is stronger than his portals.
0 -
As a survivor playing against Demo I'm one of the only survs who doesn't cleanse his portals because I'm pretty sure he can see your aura when you do so I just avoid them.
I have seen some Demos set up a portal in the basement (Like pre setup, not just when they have a survivor hooked down there)
And of course the classic "put portals right next to the exit gate" thing.
0 -
Demo is very versatile and can be played many ways. I personally play him like a trap killer by tricking survivors into closing portals I’m almost certain they’ll return to once I teleport through one.
0 -
I would recommend placing portals at different sides of the map. It will allow for a great deal of traversal throughout the game.
0 -
I don't really have a way to play them

Demo is decent at a lot of things, but not great at a lot really. His map pressure and his chase power is really solid, though. Once you get good at chases with Demo using his meat flower, the next step is to master the portals. The portals don't need to be super hidden and protected, as long as you can set them up in key points on the map you're golden.
For example, sometimes having a portal on opposite sides of the Car wall on Gas Heaven can be clutch.
Barbs Glasses+Black Heart is the standard build that's a good entry point for Demogorgon.
I personally play a more control/hit and run style of Demo that kinda reminds me of Hag, Wraith and Scratch Mirror Myers with Unknown Egg+Leprose Lichen. If the survivors want any chance to escape, they have to constantly keep breaking my portals. But my secret is that my portals are kinda half-assed to begin with tbh lol.
Unknown Egg gives Leprose Lichen so much value it can be extremely oppressive for survivors to breach a perimeter. Good luck escaping a 3 gen against a Demo that basically has a match-long Lethal Pursuer.

My go to build for Demodoggo is Corrupt, PGTW, Lethal Persuer and Tinkerer
Use Corrupt to setup a portal under the middle Gen of a 3 Gen at the start of the game then use the remaining duration of LP to start chasing survs and from there, start pressuring gens with PGTW and Tinkerer. In chases, run the long side of a loop so you have time to charge your shred to get the hit or pallet, depends on how ballsy the survivor is
