What’s you’re go to build now?

My meta build is pretty much:

• DS, BT, OTR, DH

Sometimes I might use Adrenaline and Prove Thyself instead of DS and BT. DS is generally overkill but it's good to have in the ultra sweaty games. I did use Adrenaline over DS for a while because of its end game benefit (especially when it activates when you are unhooked since DS and OTR don't activate).

If I want to go for a slightly less meta build it'll probably look like:

• Coh, Breakout, OTR, Hope/Aftercare/Kindred

I always run OTR+ prove thyself then whatever, I like windows of opportunity and CoH I carried some games hard thanks to CoH, kindred+bond is cool too but it's just info, doesn't help much with potato teammates

Botany Knowledge, Desperate Measures, Empathic Connection, Built To Last + medkit.

Why bring Circle of Healing when I can BECOME the circle of healing?

I played around with Kindred, Bite the Bullet (with medkit), Overcome, and Lucky Break after the killer chase buffs were introduced, but it got boring. Currently using Kindred, Overcome, Resurgence (saves medkit usage), and Bond.

Equipped Bond for the 'finish 10 gens' tome challenge to take advantage of the hardwork of others and just never unequipped it. I like that before I start repairing a new gen, I can see if others are already working on one. Saves time in solo if there's 1-2 gens to go.

Boon:CoH, Lithe, Bond, and Clairvoyance.

I need something to heal reliably, lithe gives you a boost in a chase and depending on map lets you lose the killer, bond over kindred because i am aware of my surroundings and can find my teammates, and Clairvoyance becaue i just go for the hatch if someone dc´s or hook suicides yet again.

My build on survivor never changed when the meta shift happened. It's still Bond, BT, Prove Thyself, and We'll make it. I am a team Dweet. I like to use perks that help my fellow team mates rather than myself.

However with the ten seconds BT coming and giving survivors a much better chance than the miserable five seconds we have currently I might swap BT out for something else.

On killer I main Mikey and have all kinds of builds on him for all his different play styles. My main build now is Corrupt, Call of brine, Overcharge, and Bamboozle. I dropped Pop and Scourge pain resonance.

Main build: Adrenaline, Alert, Built to Last, Wake Up

Secondary build: Deception, Head On, Inner Healing, Quick & Quiet

Third spot goes to what ever tome challenge there is going on, like healing challenges my main is: Autodidact, Empathy, Were Gonna Live Forever, We'll Make It.

Killers: I prefer chasing builds and rarely use more than one gen slowdown perks.

My survivor build is not particularly efficient but I get some nice plays with it sometimes :

We'll Make It, Windows of Opportunity, Lithe, Dance With me

Killer build :

Discordance, Jolt, Sloppy Butcher, Spies from the Shadows

Not very fancy, but it works !

I do this too and I thinks it keeps the different survivors interesting. If I have to a daily with Yui I make sure I have Any Means Necessary, if I have a killer blind rift mission I choose Claire and bring Blast Mine etc.

I have also replaced BBQ on most killers with something from their own teachables since it feels like a free slot now the bonus bloodpoints has gone.

Dead Hard, Dark Sense, We'll Make it, Botany Knowledge most games.

Lately I've been trying to get value out of all 4 boons and the one that keeps eluding me is Exponential.

Killer is whatever I feel would be funniest. I like Rancor roulette on Pinhead because I like his mori and larping as a demon escorting a lucky guest to Hell.

For tryharding I'd go CoH, Prove, DH + adrenaline.

But I prefer to change up my build a lot and go for fun builds.

-Blast mine + flashbangs

-Head on, deception, quick & quiet and parental guidance

-Blood pact, for the people + soul guard with a duo

-Standard power struggle buuld.

Playing with these builds idc if I escape or not. They make me happy if I get even a bit of value out of them.

Your Meme Build is my go-to build that I use in the vast majority of my games, save for the Flashbang, which I switch out for a flexible perk. Most often I use WIndows of Opportunity, but depending on my tome challenge I might use anythign that helps me or that I feel like. I got some pretty cool plays with Red Herring, ie luring the killer back to my blast mined gen.

Blastmine to let teammates know what gen I am/was working on and because I get amusement if killer blinds/stuns themself kicking my gen.

Borrowed Time because the 5 second basekit is useless with killers that decide to hang out by the hook and count to 5.

Kindred so I know if I should commit to my gen or go for save.

Prove Thy Self because random players see green icon pop on their screen and it makes them want to hop on a gen.

Currently running a pretty basic but effective build on Sadako, I am unlocking everything again so I have only prestiged myers and her.

Jolt + STBFL + Dying Light + Deerstalker, add-ons: Ring Drawing and Cabin Sign. Absolutely devastating against most teams, the amount of times I have seen them completely collapse from the extra stacks ring drawing gives me is precious.

The killer loadouts I’ve been playing with recently are

—

The Anti-Popular Perk loadout

• Discordance (to counter Prove Thyself)
• Fearmonger (to counter various Exhaustion perks)
• Hex Third Seal (to counter Windows of Opportunity)
• (After Wesker comes out) Terminus (to counter Adrenaline). Until then, either NOED to counter Adrenaline or fill in the blank of my choice depending on what I’m in the mood for

Basically the top picked survivor perks at the moment on the stat site I follow are currently Windows of Opportunity, Lithe or Sprint Burst or Dead Hard, Prove Thyself and Adrenaline. So I picked perks that specifically counter their individual effects. It’s actually working pretty well too. 🙂 (It’s funny how when people talk about popular survivor perks Windows doesn’t get mentioned too often but it’s always been popular and a solid perk. And ironically Blindness, an effect that isn’t typically considered that good or popular on the killer side, totally shuts it down as a side effect. If Third Seal wasn’t a Hex that ran the risk of being destroyed quickly I’d use it even more often!)

Backpack Build

• Agitation (carry survivors at 108% survivor speed)
• Mad Grit (free attacks while carrying)
• (after Wesker comes out) Awakened Awareness - see auras within 20 meters while carying
• and either Starstruck (Expose survivors while carrying), Forced Penance (Broken on hit while carrying), or Iron Grasp (carrying longer distances with improved steering

It’s a gimmick but it usually pays off since they don’t know you have it until it’s too late. By the time they realize you are running this they already came in for a bodyblock or flashlight save or whatever and you get a couple of free hits or downs.

The build is especially funny on Scratched Mirror Meyers because he remains Undetectable while carrying someone and also he moves faster with Agitation while carrying than he does normally. So you can actually relatively zip around corners while carrying someone and get the drop on people doing gens with that build on him, it’s kind of hilarious! 😄

Bad Medicine

• Coulrophobia (healing in your terror radius takes much longer and has faster skill check dials)
• Unnerving Presence (skill checks are half the size and happen more often in your terror radius)
• Septic Touch (survivors are Exhausted and Blind during and for 10 seconds after healing in your terror radius)
• Distressing (larger terror radius)

Basically you cover a wide chunk of the map with your terror radius and make healing difficult in it. You can also swap in Sloppy Butcher for Septic or Unnerving or Distressing here as a variant, I like the theme of all aura-based effects though. 🙂

—

Juggernaut

• Enduring (faster pallet stun recovery)
• Brutal Strength (faster pallet, wall, and gen breaks)
• Bamboozle (faster vaults and block windows)
• Fire Up (faster everything and stacks with the above)

This is a fun build, you just force pallet drops early in the match and by the midgame when they’ve got a few gens done Fire Up kicks in and even if they stun you with a pallet and you immediately kick it they get hardly any distance. The map becomes a big dead zone by the end, you just have to be mindful to keep juggling gens early on so they don’t get too far ahead so you can catch up once the momentum swings.

—

Scourge Hooks

• All four Scourge Hook perks

Simple enough, use all four Scourge Hook perks and get big value every hook.

—

Block Em All

• Dead Man’s Switch (blocks gens survivors leave after you hook someone)
• Deadlock (blocks gen with most progress after a gen is completed)
• Thrilling Tremors (blocks gens during carries that nobody is working on)
• No Way Out (blocks the Gate switches for up to 60 seconds)

Just block everything all the time. There are some variants on this with some other perks but this one seems pretty good. 🙂

—

I don’t play survivor much, but when I do it’s always Plunderer Ace

• Plunderer’s Instinct (see auras of chests and get rarer items from them)
• Open Handed (significantly increases all aura distances for all survivors, including Plunderer’s Instinct)
• Ace in the Hole (items from chest include rare add-ons)
• Appraisal (can Rummage an already opened chest for a second item)

So with this build I go in with a simple toolkit, head to a gen near a chest, use the tools up right away on it, open the chest to get a new item, and unless it’s a flashlight or key just use that item up as applicable, repeating as needed if I want a third or even fourth item. Ideally I actually keep getting tool kits or get med kits I can use right away to very quickly heal someone, but maps are passable since the auras they show are kind of handy. Flashlights and keys are the only things I don’t like getting since they’re just not as useful. (I wish I found Flashlights to be as good as tools and medkits but sadly running around hoping for a save rather than doing gens or healing is just bad strategy in my opinion. As a killer I’m always much less worried about flashlight players than the ones that just stick to gens and heal each other.)
