    Hm. Botany, Iron Will, Calm Spirit and Technician. Works wonders against the Doctor, which is my least favourite killer to face.

    Alert, We'll Make it, Hope or Spine Chill, and Bond. I really think Alert is underrated. I can see who the killer is if I'm not chased first and he breaks a pallet or regresses a gen. Also gives me his/her location so I can move accordingly. Bond helps me get on a gen with a teammate which I only avoid if I play against Legion, and find someone to heal me. When I get it unlocked, I'll switch Bond for Aftercare.

    Stake Out is nice, great for powering through Hex: Ruin. Since the buff, Botany Knowledge is great too. Empathy can be pretty under-rated too.

    I used to run bond and leader but I'll be switching leader out for prove thy self after the changes. I also really like small game if I've been up against a lot of NOEDs at once. I used to run rank 3 lightweight all the time too

    Typically I run Bond, Iron Will, Balanced Landing/Spine Chill, Leader/Quick and Quiet

    Do those count as meta builds? I've heard some people call Bond a really good perk, but I think they're all rather random. Bond helps a lot when play solo so you know where people are. Iron Will is also quite nice for keeping quiet and avoiding the killer while hurt.

    Empathy, Kindred, Calm Spirit, and Ace in the Hole are some of my favorite underrated perks ^^

    Yeah, thing is that most randoms don't care about totems so i run small game to find them faster.

    Idk what’s ‘meta’ but I like running the lithe, dance with me, quick and quiet, and alert build. 
    also Bond, unbreakable (or sprint burst), borrowed time and leader.
    or aftercare, balanced, adrenaline, leader

    No Mither, This Is Not Happening, Dead Hard, and that perk that lets you crawl and heal. (Detective Tapp perk)

    Sometimes I like to be Santa and will run pharmacy, plunderer's, ace in the hole, and balanced landing, and then I just give away my treasures. Lol. One time I had the hardest time trying to give away a rainbow map, and I was all #########?!?

    My favorite non-meta build would have to be small-game, calm spirit, plunderers instinct, and Ace in the hole.

    Empathy, Aftercare, We'll Make It, and some other perk. Works wonders in solo

    No real "build" but two guilty pleasure perks of mine are Stakeout and Open Handed. Stakeout is actually not that bad so let's talk about Open Handed: having map hacks with Bond is just so great. In uncordinated pubs knowing where everyone is in a nearly 40 meter range is a goddamn godsend.

    Plunderers instinct, Alert, Q&Q, Prove Thyself. Let's me see where the killer is most of the time since they break pallets and smash gems, I can hop in lockers quickly while in chase or before the killer hooks with BBQ&C, efficient on generators and I leave with some good loot. Risky but fun

    Stake Out, Iron Will, Spin Chill, and Urban Evasion. I designed the build when Spirit came out as a means to somewhat counter what she did and be able to have some awareness to her. I was shocked to find out how well it works on other Killers as well.

    The build works EXTREMELY well against Doctor who opps for massive TR. Yeah you'll scream a couple times from tiering up insanity, but you're basically going to have nothing but a steady stream of great skill checks since most Doctors just run around in treatment 24/7.

    Weaknesses are Low TR people such as Myers, Wraith, and people that actually attempt Pig stealth as opposed to just running around everywhere.

    Up The Ante, Slippery Meat, Balanced Landing, and Self Care has become a fave of mine!

  • Theluckyboi
    Theluckyboi Member Posts: 1,113

    My average perk build with daddy ace is

    -Up the ante (grants free unhooks a lot of times)
    -Open handed (actually helps a lot when the killer has an slug build)
    -Kindred (has incredible synergy with open handed tier III)
    -either alert or recently aftercare (helps a ton on solo survivor)

    Spin Chill, Urban Evasion and Self Care.
