Strongest Killer Builds

You boot up DBD for a relaxing game of whack-a-survivor. But then you suddenly see four P3 Claudettes load in at the same time, all named "CryHarderBabyKiller.ttv". Your Leave Lobby buttons disappears and you're forced to play.

  1. Who do you main?
  2. What build do you use to guarantee a 4k against the 4-stack tryhard SWF Squadette?

    1. Check my profile picture
    2. If a SWF actually try-hards then it's impossible to garantuee a 4k because a 3 minute game isn't winnable on the killer side, but if you want my build if I suspect a toxic streamer:
      Tuning guide
      Grease (green rarity, forgot the name)
      NOED (In case it does turn out to be a 3 min game)
      Deerstalker (I love this perk)
      BBQ (Do I need to explain?)
      Enduring (DS is triple gay to play against)
      Either a Red Mori or a Coldwind Farm offering (all hail Rotten Fields)

    In case you're wondering, I don't have Ruin.

    1. Doctor cause I'm bored of Nurse
    2. Addons: Calm and Order
        Perks: Unerving presence
                    Distressing
                    Ruin 
                    Overcharge or Huntress Lullaby
       Offering: Jigsaw piece.
    Guarenteed a disconnect during the match and sometimes they offer themselves at a hook to get it over with. 

    If not that I run extended range nurse with the usual loadout or instasaw Billy with some mix of perks for the situation.

    3. Perks:
    • Sloppy Butcher
    • Bitter Murmur
    • Make Your Choice

    I'm not a high rank killer (usually around rank 12, plus or minus 2), so this may not work at higher ranks, but I've had good luck with this:

    1) Hag
    2) Addons: Rusty Shackles + Dried Cicada
    3) Perks: Ruin/Sloppy Butcher/Thanatophobia/x
    x can be one of the following: Make Your Choice/Nurse's Calling

    Hag

    Ruin
    MYC
    PGTW/M&A/Sloppy Butcher
    BBQ/Deerstalker

    Killer games suddenly become fun and not stressful. Almost easy, even. (at least for me on console)

    A full Squadette team? Oh boy...

    Let's see here...

    1st question: Nurse

    2nd question:
    Ruin
    BBQ
    Nurse's Calling
    Whispers

    +
    Ebony Mori
    +
    Omega Blink add ons

    Their deaths will be swift but painful!

    At the moment ...
    Wraith.
    Blood hound, sloppy butcher, bitter murmur, and nurses calling.
    I use his add one that make him uncloak faster and another where he can see the auras of survivors while invisible while standing With in... I think to 12 meters max. And I think that's the ultra rare one.

    When I play Huntress 
    Whispers, Bitter murmur, a nurses calling and NOED. I really just throw add-ons on her 

    Myers use 
    Blood hound, Predator, Deer stalker, and nurses calling.
    I'll use his add ons to extend evil within 3 and one that increases the speed I gain evil.

    That's it. I don't know if they're good builds... but they're ones I use.

    Pig main.
    BBQ, Make Your Choice, M&A and Nurse's Calling. Together with Tampered Timer and Jigsaw Sketch. As soon as their trap activate, I slug them when I get the chance. and make their head pop.

  • Uige
    Uige Member Posts: 1

    Freddy
    Addons: Black box & Red paint brush (yes, both ultra rares)
    Perks:
    Remember Me
    Warden
    N.O.E.D
    Thanatophobia

    Most of this is self explanatory, optimal at end-game when generators are active and dragging the game out a while. Getting all 6 tokens on "Remember Me" is strongly required as to assist with N.O.E.D. in which will block all survivors from the exit due to Warden, or if you already have a survivor hooked Thanatophobia will extend the time further to open the gate. Don't be afraid to kill anybody who is not the obsession and keep an eye on the escape hatch as it is practically the only way to sanely escape.

  • Poweas
    Poweas Member Posts: 5,873

    I main Billy and I'd use Enduring, Spirit fury, BBQ and Chilli and Sloppy butcher. With a single person mori (you'd be surprised how good I've got at Billy over the last few months that I don't need an ebony anymore). If I see 2 people, I slug, if they're rushing too hard, I slug. But once I mori the 1st guy, it's simple from there on.

  • HatCreature
    HatCreature Member Posts: 3,298

    1-Freddy
    2--Class Photo/Range add-on
    3--Thanatophobia, Sloppy Butcher, Bloodhouund, & Remember Me.
    4-either a Hook offering or a MacMillan offering

    I Prestiged a lot of characters recently so this build was before that happened lol if this happened right now I'd be screwed.

    I'm a sadistically lethal Freddy, I'll slug that Claud the whole match and eventually hook her while I'm tormenting her time remnants.

    1. Spirit
    2. Prayer Beads/Mother Daughter Ring OR (if I want them to hear me coming) Yamuyoke Amulet/ Mother Daughter ring
    3. Discordance/Surveillance/Pop Goes the Weasel/Ruin Or For grabs Ill go Monitor and Abuse/BBQ
    4. Offering would be BPS or Black Ward because even if theyre a toxic SWF group it doesnt mean I have to be toxic too.

    P.S. Using Beads and this build Ive had 8 gen grabs in 1 game. xD

  • Laakeri

    You dont need specific perks. Just slap anal beads and amulet into spirit and you are golden.
  • The_Crusader
    The_Crusader Member Posts: 3,688

    Probably Hag. I've got so many ebony moris on here, plus since I imagine these four are toxic I can play ultra campy to be toxic back.

    I could use a few killers, but the ebony is what is most important.

    I love Remember Me & Blood Warden. They’re fantastic perks, even without NOED. 
    I think NOED is always a risky perk. Could get to the end game and find the survivors have already found and cleansed all 5 totems before the last repair. 
    Imo noed is a much safer and effective perk than Ruin because Ruin gets immediately hunted and destroyed (sometimes even before you stroll over there) whereas most times at least one totem remains for noed. I can’t tell you how many times I was destroying totems but it turns out I was the only one suspecting a noed. Just don’t use noed with Ruin or Thrill because then usually people get wary.

    Freddy. 
    Claudette just can’t hide from him. 
    Add-ons - Jump Rope + Swing Chains. 
    Perks - Overcharge + Discordance + pretty much anything else. 

    They’ll be lucky if they get 2 gens repaired before i’ve Killed them all, and after they’ve quickly realised that intentionally failing skill checks is a terrible TERRIBLE idea. 

    Overcharge on Freddy :lol:

    Redhead's Pinky and Garish Makeup Kit

    Bamboozle
    Blood Warden
    Haunted
    Devour

    I guess any offering will do, though obviously the best ones are map offerings (Jigsaw Piece!!!!)

  • OMagic_ManO
    OMagic_ManO Member Posts: 3,278

    I run this as a troll build:

    Iron Grip.
    Agitation.
    Enduring.
    Mad Grit.

    Fragrant Tuft of Hair.
    Any add ons that gets you to EW3 fast.
    Ebony Memento Mori offering.

    Micheal Myers with 1 shot power while holding a survivor, 18% faster speed, basically a slug build. If the survivors don't die by your swing, you could very well possibly get a DC from the person you are holding, Decisive Strike? No problem.

    Regular build?:

    Nurses Calling.
    Discordance.
    Bamboozle.
    Franklin's Demise/Spies from the Shadows.

  • Patrick99

    Normally, I actually WOULD queue dodge as to avoid toxicity, but in this case, I have two ideas...

    1. Hag (Two words: Map control. I love having the ability to teleport to someone and screw them over, getting the chase done quickly.)

    Ruin
    BBQ and Chili
    Franklin's Demise
    Sloppy Butcher

    Swamp Orchid Necklet + Bloodied Mud

    2. Doctor (The rules of the game are simple: There will be NO items in my presence. There will be NO successful Skill Checks in my presence. And most importantly, there will be NO hiding in my presence.)

    Distressing
    Unnerving Prescence
    Overwhelming Presence
    BBQ and Chili

    Order - Carter's Notes
    Restraint - Carter's Notes

  • Doctor_Corvinas
    Doctor_Corvinas Member Posts: 2

    The Doctor is in...

    Distressing

    Unnerving presence

    Over charge.

    And whatever I feel like. If I had to choose either iron maiden or ruin to prolong the game or make no survivor safe.


    Game map: jigsaw piece cuz most players hate it and they already see a ######### game ahead.


    Carter's Note: Calm for bigger terror radius


    Calm class II to stack for bigger radius. Irrisecent king is fun but to ######### with them no where on a small map will be safe.


    The Doctor is in, and you're all my patients now.

    Dream Catcher (Freddy) - Dying Light, Play With Your Food, Ruin, Haunted Grounds, Class Photo, Z Block, green mori. Use CP to find obsession ASAP, tunnel to mori with PWYF/HG. Game is effectively over for other survivors if they have anything more than 3 gens left.


    Open Season (Huntress) - Knockout, Sloppy Butcher, Deerstalker, Iron Maiden, Iridescent Head, Infantry Belt. Slug rush. Just hit them with a hatchet and use them to find the others. Slug them all before you take a hook. IM for the reload speed and so people can't locker juke hatchets.


    Crippling Depression (Nurse) - Ruin, NOED, Sloppy Butcher, Shadowborn, omega blink. Nuff said, if you are the kind of Nurse to play without Shadowborn then use Thanatophobia.

    Best Spirit build?

  • Jackikins
    Jackikins Member Posts: 66

    Killer

    Freddy Krueger

    aka: The Nightmare

    aka2; Sharp Hand Joe

    Perks

    BBQ & Chilli

    BBQ & Chilli is mostly for tracking after your hooks. If you're one of the people who solemnly swear against BBQ, Spies From The Shadows works wonders too.

    STBFL (Save The Best For Last)

    STBFL is to make up for the dream transition period that you have to deal with. But to me, I like to see it as a bonus. You hopefully won't be hitting the obsession too many times because of the 1 hit downs you'll be getting with MYC (explained below)

    MYC (Make Your Choice)

    Make Your Choice will be the core of this build. If someone asleep is unhooking someone, they're either going to stay to get woken up, leaving more than enough time to get there and chase them down, or they'll stay to heal or run away, making for an easy down and an easy hook.

    M&A (Monitor and Abuse)

    Lowers your TR (which is important with Freddy) as you can see people who are asleep that are outside of your terror radius. M&A lowers your TR from 24 meters to 16 meters. This can make it easier when tracking people who are closer. (Sidenote: Monitor and Abuse doesn't affect the "lullaby radius", as that is separate.

    Addons

    Nancy's Masterpiece

    Good for sleeping people at a distance. If you can sleep them from far off, the added time from the other addon (green dress) is made up for since it's very unlikely they'll know where they've been slept from.

    Green Dress

    Decreases the chances of skillchecks triggering when in the Dream World (while slept by Freddy), but it also increases the dream Transition by 0.5 seconds. With the range addon, this pretty much makes no difference as you'll still be catching up.


    Play Style

    Do what you usually should do. Try to sleep as many people as possible, only commit to a chase if you know you can end it quickly and preferably go for either the first person you sleep to start the chain reaction of using MYC for the quick downs, or take the risk and wait until you've got the weakest player so you have good bait.


    After you have your first hook, using the aura reading of BBQ & Chilli (or the aura of people you might have slept during your set-up) go onto your next target. If you don't know where the other survivors are, just make sure you're far away enough from the hook so that MYC can still be triggered and wait for the unhook, or go out to find the others. It's important to have as many people asleep as possible, especially when someone is hooked as it makes it easier to find out who just unhooked the bait (survivor on the hook) for that one hit down from MYC.

    End Note

    Yes, it doesn't work all the time, but it has carried me to rank 1 before. It (in my opinion) is one of the most effective ways of playing Freddy since it does something that is usually seen as impossible. It turns Freddy powers into a seriously good ability more than a hindrance. I personally don't like using Hex:Ruin since it doesn't clash with my style of play. When the game gets rolling, it REALLY gets rolling. It can seem like you are losing steam after a while, but it's easy to pick up afterwards.

    I hope more people try this out since it's a fun way to play Freddy!

  • PigNRun
    PigNRun Member Posts: 2,428

    I run BBQ + Devour Hope + Pop Goes the Weasel + Sloppy Butcher for general purposes.

    For a very nasty generator protection build on Spirit, go for:

    Ruin + Surveillance + Pop Goes the Weasel + Discordance

    You could even swap out Ruin for BBQ if you want some extra points.

  • blue4zion
    blue4zion Member Posts: 2,773

    Spirit

    Brooch + Wakizashi


    Enduring

    Brutal Strength

    Spirit Fury/Sloppy/Other

    Ruin/Bloodwarden/NOED

    Eboni Mori


    It's near impossible to loop me with this build.

    Don't bring bamboozle, you want the window mindgames.

    Can bring fireup if you'd like, works fine.

    Favorite build if previous games frustrated me a bit. Always a nice way to let off steam lol.

    MegMain98 Member Posts: 2,913

    There are many builds you can do with her. My typical build is Ruin, Nurses Calling, BBQ, and Deerstalker. I run Deerstalker because I’m AWFUL with finding people on the ground. Any basic perk build you want to run with her is viable. I just don’t find any sort of “pallet destroyer” build to be very great with her, she’s much better as a tracker.

    For add-ons, really ANY add-on is viable...even the common ones. The best combo is the Wakizashi Saya and Yakuyoke Amulet.

    Still a Pig main.

    Tampered Timer/Jigsaw Sketch is still really strong. But I really like Pig with Amanda's Letter and Shattered Syringe/Combat Straps. My go to perk build now is BBQ, M&A, Whispers and Enduring.

    Also, note I don't make people's heads explode anymore. I don't enjoy the addons anymore. ^^
