Fun killer builds?

I'm looking for really fun killer builds. Not looking for the boring meta perks that you see 20 games in a row in red ranks. I'm trying to find unique, interesting ones that have a purpose, such as an anti-genrush build, a Tier 4 myers build, a forever exposed build, a role-playing build, etc.

    I play anti-stress build:

    Shadow Born, Light Born, Barbecue and last perk usualy something like Enduring, Bamboozle or for ranged killers I like Iron Maiden.

    Theres a couple I like to use to have fun.

    End game build (of course):

    Fire Up/STBFL

    Remember Me

    Blood Warden

    No Way Out

    The 'Bully me and see what happens' build:

    Spirit Fury

    Enduring

    Lightborn

    Mad Grit

    Jump Scare Meyers. Fun but only for a limited time:

    Scratched Mirror (Addon)

    Boyfriend's Memo (Addon)

    STBFL/PWYF

    Pop (for slowdown)

    Coup de Grace

    Literally any functional Oni Build. You can't not have fun with this killer.

    Ninja Billy:

    Tinkerer

    Trail of Torment

    Pop Goes the Weasel

    (combining these last three hybridizes Stealth and Slowdown. Its a nasty combo.)

    Dark Devotion/Dying Light combo (Havent tried this yet)

    Iridescent Brick (Addon)

    I can respect that, you a long time player? I usually only see long time DBD players completely drop slowdowns. Seems like just a comfy build. You run this on every killer? Seems like fun, I'm tempted

    What bout survivor? I'm curious what build you run.

    Edit: oh and following your rules for your fourth perk, what would u run on say trickster, he's ranged so iron maiden...but bamboozle is also really well on him for forcing survs in the open to get those easy knife shots. And what about nemesis, which would be better for him in your opinion as a 4th.

    I'm almost tempted to ask what u run as a 4th on each killer if that's not too much lmao

    I prefer a pure chase build when I'm looking to have fun. I usually go with BBQ because it does pay to have an info perk, Enduring, Spirit Fury, and STBFL. If you don't care about info then you can replace BBQ for Bamboozle, but this chase build can be really fun. Even survivors good at looping can't keep you at bay for long when you're a non-stop wrecking machine!

    Try Haunted, Undying, Retribution, on Nurse or Blight. Expose the survivors, make them oblivious, reveal their locations, AND have the chance to have it all happen twice? Yes please!

    Yes, I play this game for like 5+ years. I don't run slowdown builds most of the time since I don't rly care about winning or my rank and I don't want stressfull games where I have to care about gens and hooks so much.

    I play Shadowborn, Lightborn and Barbecue on all killers. Shadowborn is simply there to feel good, I just like increased FOV because it just feels better to play as a Killer since your FOV is not that big by default and I see more of my skins better :D. Lightborn is simply there to reduce the stress of the game and it's also funny since most survivors don't expect this perk and they will keep trying to blind you and it just doesn't work and they just waste their time or expose themselfs to you. I just rly dislike when someone last second switch to flashlight or when there are like 2+ flashlights and making me stressfull about picking someone that I downed. Barbecue is there for me to know where to go next after I hook someone so I don't waste time just running randomly around a map or gens. Also that sweet extra points are always welcome.

    Last perk I pick depending on the killer. For example, on ranged killers I like to play Iron Maiden since it helps reload and again, it feels good to play it since you are faster. As you asked, yes for Trickster I play this as well, it just feel good to reload his ammo fast too.

    For other killers like Twins I like to run Deerstalker, since it helps me know where my Victor downed someone or if I have to slug then I don't lose the sight of the Survivors. For Oni, I have to play for Infectious Fright because it helps him so much then to snowball with his power. On Nurse I play Lethal Persuer since it helps to start chase quickly as a Nurse where her weakness is hidding Survivors.

    Most of the avarage killer (trapper, wraith, freddy, etc.) roaster I play the last perk Enduring because it makes you rly don't care about the pallets and you are not scared / annoyed to get stunned.

    Btw you can go for Bamboozle for Trickster for sure, it helps with shack or other window loops to down them quicker :)

    I found a fun build for the Oni: Coulrophobia, Distressing, BBQ and Discordance. Survivors against Oni are pressured to heal asap, but with this build they can't so they waste a ton of time trying to get away from the TR, and in the mean time they drop a lot of blood orbs (especially if you use addons that increase them). BBQ and Discordance are good for tracking and keeping them on their toes.

    I've got 2 interesting ones imo.

    INSTA TIER 3

    - Judith's Journal (+40 % stalk rate increase on Obsession)

    - J. Myers Memorial (+25 % stalk rate efficiency)

    Perks:

    - Nemesis

    - Enduring

    - Make your Choice

    - Furtive Chase


    Use Nem/End to force an Obsession by brute forcing pallets and stalk them when they become the Obsession.

    Hook the Obsession, whoever unhooks the Obsession will become the new Obsession and become exposed with MyC. Stalk them instantly and down them with MyC. If you can't down them with MyC, use EW III.


    DYNAMITE: By BTS

    - Shadowdance: Blood (or White)

    - All Seeing Spirit

    Perks:

    - Surge

    - Overcharge

    - Oppression

    - Erruption


    Shadowdance to kick things extremely fast and AS-Spirit to see Gen progress.

    Surge to instantly regress gens by a bit and make them explode.

    Overcharge so if Survivors miss the Skill Check, the gen explodes.

    Oppression to kick gens and explode some gens in the distance.

    Erruption to explode some more gens.


    Would be a fun build for Trickster as well but he does not have the information Add-ons. You could use Discordance instead of something else on Trickster.

    Thanks so much for your reply friend! I'm about 3+ years in myself and I've slowly started feeling that myself, to not care to win and just have fun ya know!

    Thanks for your clarification on trickster, but can I ask again what you'd put on nemesis? I'd also love to hear your survivor build.

    I very much appreciate you going into detail for some of the other killers! Anymore you wanna talk about?

    Have a wonderful day my friend!

    Sure! No problem :)

    For Nemesis I would pick as my last perk Enduring or Save The Best For Last since it rly works well with him and it is fun perk as well.

    As for Survivors, I very offten change builds. Sometimes I play meta when I have bad matches or I need to escape (quests). Sometimes I play healing perks, aura perks, chest builld, etc. But there are 2 must have perks for me that I can't play without. That's Kindred and Spine Chill. Both helps so much as a solo player. I wish people play Kindred more, it's just so good for solos.

    For the other Killers, on Ghostface (or Shape can use it as well too) I like to play Lethal Persuer since it is 99% of the time free down within few seconds of the game. Love it :D.

    Hmmm, I can't think of any other unique killer perk that I play offten besides Enduring that you can swap for Bamboozle as well.

    A meta-ish build I run:


    BBQ/Corrupt Intervention/Sloppy Butcher and/or Nurses/Thanataphobia/Monitor and Abuse on small terror radius killers. You can still lose but all your perks actually are useful and there is no RNG on the totems.
