Most Fun/Enjoyable Killer+Build to play?

Forget power - what is the build/killer combination that you play when you want to have fun?

For me: Demogorgon.

Addons: Both Iris.

Build: Gift of Pain+STBFL+Pain Resonance+Agitation

I call it 'The Grabber'. Find people, pop up within range and grab them right off gens. Doesn't always work but man is it hilarious when it does. PR+Agi means I get back to grabbing as soon as possible and never need to kick gens either. If Surge worked off grabs, I'd drop GOP for it.

    Pinhead, Iridescent Lament Configuration/Chatterer's Tooth. Hex: Plaything, STBFL, both Scourge Hook perks (though tbh if I had Agitation unlocked it might be better to swap out one of the things here for that to get more regression). Stealth Pinhead and way easier box protection. Sure, you don't get chain hunts if you pick it up for any reason... but with 25s of undetectable and great info, who cares? Also makes chaining people round loops better, since they can't tell which way you're going.

    Also has a high propensity for grabbing people.

    That's not far off my own Pinhead build.

    I'm having a lot of fun with:

    Iri Box+Original Pain

    Plaything+Penti+STBFL+Surge

    Pinhead works so damn well with hexes, especially with the iri box. It's one of the few things it feels like he has going for him.

    I think the builds I have the most fun with are

    • Doctor’s “I want them to hear me coming” build. Usually something like Distressing, Unnerving Presence, Overwhelming Presence and Overcharge, or swapping out Overcharge for Coulrophobia or another terror radius based effect. It’s just kind of fun intentionally running the total opposite of a stealth build. 🙂
    • Meyer’s various variant add-ons: Scratched Mirror, Vanity Mirror, Infinite Evil, or Tombstone. Normal Meyers isn’t my favorite killer, but all those variant playstyles are great. 👍
    • The funniest build I’ve played is the “Flashlight Me” loadout. Lightborn, Enduring, Brutal Strength, and either Fire Up, Agitation or Mad Grit, Basically it’s a build where if someone tries to flashlight blind you at a pallet it becomes a free hit. The fourth perk either makes it even faster to break the pallet or makes it even easier to get a hit on someone trying to do a flashlight save. It’s a total gimmick but it’s hilarious when it works.

    Ah, the good old ungabunga build. I do something similar with Pig - just replacing Lightborn with Spirit Fury and Agitation with STBFL.

    I prefer to save my Original Pains for Engineer's Fang synergy. "If you're going to run loops and pallets for days, I'll just Deep Wound you and go off after someone else for the meantime". Might unlock Pentimento for that one, or some other "go do this" deal if I can.

    I definitely prefer Pain Resonance over Surge/Jolt, even if it's sometimes less likely to trigger. I find myself downing in deadzones way too much because of players who don't want to try to loop, and the info is handy.

  • StarLost
    StarLost Member Posts: 8,077

    Fair enough.

    Pain+Fang is just...so dirty. I try not to run it much because it's one of the 'at least two people will DC before midgame' combos I find.

    Penti is a bit of a stanky perk as savvy teams will just start booning everything, but that does waste a lot of their time at least.

    Surge is just my 'comfort' perk. I run it on basically every killer that works with it (and occasionally killers that it doesn't work well on too). It's just so incredibly satisfying to use.

    Any Legion build is a fun build for me. I currently like the purple knife addon and the mangled pin addon with Corrupt, Thanataphobia, Dying Light, and BBQ. Basically a "you're gonna do everything slower all game" build. It sounds effective, but due to Legion's super OP power than can't actually down anyone without two addons specifically tailored to do so (and it still takes forever), it ends up being more of a build that just gives me more time to chase survivors and get looped all game.

    Basement Bubba - Running Insidious/Corrupt Intervention/Tinkerer/BBQ+Chili


    Meme'ing all day hiding around corners waiting for unhooks then insta downing. Even more fun taking them to the basement. Running iri flesh and Begrimed Chains for mini franklins. Been getting 50k-90k bp on a near instant que to fuel levelling all my survivors to 40 for teachables is just the added bonus to knowing how much rage I cause most players by playing a Basement Bubba build :)

    Hmm, only DC I've got with it recently was someone who left their last teammate to die on hook and went for the door. They seemed quite mad that I saw it and downed them.

    With BPS in effect, because ragequitting at the end makes sense.

    I have the most fun and get the most kills with Pinhead. I also underuse Pinhead's capabilities on an almost abusive level: Iron Grasp, Starstruck, NOED, Lightborn/Plaything (depending if I see a flashlight).

    Doctor with Monitor and Abuse with double Calm addons... I don't know why but I enjoy being a sneaky/stealth doctor....When you do get in chase all of a suddent your terror radius is huge and confuses people.

    Nemesis with double zombie speed addons with discordance, the amount of pressure I get from these dudes some games is just *chef kiss*, Just had a game where a 4 man tried to bully me and got owned by fast zombies while they were trying to flashlight/pickup their down friend.

    Stealth Nemesis...addon that gives undetectable after killing a zombie and the addon that gives more mutatuon rate for killing your own zombies... You get fast tier 2 and you can catch a lot of people off guard despite your foot steps sounding like an elephant.

    Spirit with devour hope, rancor, haunted grounds and no way out.... I just really like her mori and well, someones going to get mori'd if I can help it.

    Generic but I enjoy shack/basement trapper. You are coming down here and you aren't coming out. Save the best for last, Agitation, Corrupt and pop.

    Pallet destroyer Wraith... Using the fast breaking addon with the addon that takes you out of stealth when kicking a pallet with Brutal Strength throws a lot of people off that think they are safe predropping pallets.

    BBQ Lethal Infectious Blight (with shadowborn of course 🙏🏻) with Ring and Iri Tag. It’s really fun if you know how to do well with blight’s power, as you’ll get massive value and (why not) maybe even speedrun a 4k !

    Clown with Smelly inner soles + Bleach

    Scourge hook: Pain resonance

    Surge

    BBQ

    STBFL

    Constant chases and decent pressure without having to babysit any of the perks. The build means you can constantly chase people without worrying too much about gens

    Twins.

    Silencing Cloth + Iridescent Pendant

    Trail of Torment

    BBQ

    Tinkerer

    Discordance.


    Charlotee spends a LOT of time without a killer aura. I tend to use Victor as a radar as much as I do as a missile, so often I get the chance to sneak towards someone who is about to kill him for the free expose and M1 whack.

    Pyramid head

    x2 range (I mean what other addons would you use?)

    Sloppy

    Forced penance

    Thanataphobia

    Nurse's or some other healing related perk for the slot (sometimes I switch out sloppy too)

    It is by no means a meta op 4k every game perk but I enjoy it. Basically it's just built around forced penance.
