And I'm not talking about meta slap 4 regression perks. I mean perks that work really fun and well with his power. I have been having a ton of fun on it whenever sbmm decides not to put me into another full second chance perk squad.


Perks I've been loving

  • Make your choice and devour hope, having either one of these makes survivors chew through pallets faster and synergize great with the darkness reign power.
  • Dark Devotion, slap the obsession and then go off on a locker, really funny when paired with the addon that reveals survivors.
  • Fearmonger, can help avoid those annoying sprint burst or dead hards especially if you can keep them injured. they actually have to be kinda scared of you.

    Fearmonger and Sloppy Butcher

    Fearmonger makes ambushing with locker teleport more effective

    combining Sloppy Butcher with Burnt Letters and Malthinker's Skull addons makes nightfall activate very quick

    BBQ.

    Not just for sweet BP but also for locker teleports haha.

    I played maybe 6 or so matches with him, with the following perks and addons, and got a 4k basically every time. Granted, I'm low ranks, but still, this build was pretty cracked:

    Hex: Blood Favor, BBQ & Chili, Lethal Pursuer and Tinkerer.

    Using the Lavalier Microphone and the Worry Stone allow me to see survivors frequently, after Lethal Pursuer ends. If I teleport, I can see them. If they lock lockers, I can see them. Use Lethal Pursuer to immediately go after one of them, and chase. Get a hit, and Blood Favor stops them from dropping pallets. Down and hook the first survivor, get a reading with BBQ and head to the next survivor. Rinse and repeat. I can see them with addons, and even if they progress a gen, Tinkerer lets me spot that gen and makes me undetectable for an easy surprise attack. If Nightfall is up, everything just goes even faster.

    Dragon's Grip is quite fun when combined with the Boat Key add-on (increases the speed of your teleport outside of nightfall).

    Damage a gen, walk away, wait for someone to get back to work on it. When you hear a scream, teleport to a locker near the gen and insta-down the survivor. The first time I did this the gen was inside the shack with those two lockers right behind the survivor. He didn't have time to react. It was great.

    -Run Lethal Pursuer

    -See survivor go into a locker

    -Teleport to that Locker

    -Survivor DCs and calls me a cheater in post-game chat

    -Start laughing profusely

    Glad to see others say Fearmonger.

    I sort of lucked out and got it early in web and threw it on Dredge, and havent taken it off since, I guess others feel the same as it is recommended, I just chose wisely by accident LOL

    On p3 bloodweb, need BBQ now...

    Pain Resonance, Floods of Rage, Make your Choice and BBQ

    Pain Resonance is just the slowdown perk of choice that capitalises on the scourge hooks I'm using anyway for Floods of Rage, which is the aura perk I'm using to pair with Make Your Choice, and BBQ gives me somewhere to go immediately after the hook so I'm far enough away for Make Your Choice to activate. Even if I'm just applying pressure and a bit of hit and run before I port back to the unhook.

    This build gives you such quick hooks, that you actually want Make Your Choice at Tier 1, do not level it up if you can help it. No only does a higher tier Make Your Choice have a longer duration, but it has a longer cooldown too, and you typically don't need the long duration because you're right back there immediately anyway.

    Could potentially swap out BBQ for something like Fearmonger, as Pain Resonance can also give info to direct me away from the hook. But the bloodpoints are sweet and with Gloaming around loops I never really feel the need to deny exhaustion perks.

    Make Your Choice is pretty disgusting on Dredge. Especially when you know survivors are going to do a fast save and you can just drop a Remnant out of sight close to the hook and just Gloam away waiting on that save to pop back and down the unhooker.

    Devour Hope its just as good as your totem RNG.

    If you're going to do a Hex, might as well go all in with Plaything, Pentimento, and Retribution.

  • DoritoHead

    Pop is probably his best slowdown perk, especially when combined with PR.

    Overall Devour is probably my favorite perk on him. Haunted and MYC are great too. If you want something really wacky Iron Maiden will let you instantly teleport over to a survivor that gets out of a locker. Doesn’t happen often though.

    Hex: The Third Seal is actually really mean on him. If you thought Nightfall was intimidating enough, just wait until you have your auras taken out on top of it. Your Windows of Opportunity have no power here >:D

    Thanks. I used to be on here way back when, but lost my account on here.

    oh man, the Dredge is so fun. I don't have a lot of perks on it yet but I am hoping to get Spies from the shadows. Probably pop and pain resonance as well. I need more bloodpoints!!! 🤩

  • Brokenbones
    Brokenbones Member Posts: 5,229

    Floods of rage is an amazing choice on him as well

    Would recommend

    No corrupt or Discordance? Am i being too conservative thinking I'd want/need these? Haven't been able to play yet

  • Dramzar_Myers

    My beloved build:

    2 info perks: BBQ, Darkness Revealed - i think it's great. You can have information about where is the survivors almost all the time and put a lot of pressure on them. + BP bonus

    1 gen slowdown: scourged hook pain resonance - with all the pressure this 15% regression look's and working great.

    1 perk free. I use Franklin's to irritate the survivors and force them waste time to pick up and lose again items.

    I've been having a lot of success with Dragon's grip / Pop / Call of brine / Corrupt with Field recorder and worry stone addons. Seeing as survivors spawn near corrupt, can pretty much guarantee i'll run into someone within the first 15-20 seconds and worry stone will point them out too. The amount of times i've gotten value out of dragon's grip is ridiculous with his teleports. Probably on par with make your choice but i don't have that in the bloodweb yet.

    Whispers + Nurse´s Calling + BBQ + Corrupt Intervention or else Franklin.
