Which killers do you refuse to play without certain perks?

I find it weird to play some killers without save the best for last, not from a gameplay perspective but losing that nice and fast animation feels weird after using it for a few games (similarly for brutal strength). As for gameplay reasons the closest I have is lethal of Ghost Face, the amount of damage and stalk you get off by knowing where everyone is is insane and a lot of the time the survivors can't realise what you've done because they can't see their own stalk. Another one is corrupt on Demogorgon but that's purely because I like setting up portals at the start and without that you're using deadlock to make up for being passive doing so, or setting up less but come on portals am I right. I do find generally you don't need any perks on any killers, but certain playstyles on certain killers do heavily appreciate what some perks other too much to give up without a very good reason.

The main one for me is Trapper. I always play with CI and Deadlock and I'm still normally down to 2 gens by the time I've set up my traps. Without CI and Deadlock the survivors would be headed out the exit gates before I could set up my traps.

Bamboozle on Leatherface.

STBFL on Deathslinger and Pig.

Corrupt on Trapper and Myers unless I’m running some weird build.

Iron Maiden on Huntress.

Not really. Sure I have my preferred builds but they don't become unplayable without them.

Billy without Shadowborn. - Yes, I am hopelessly addicted.

Doctor without Zanshin Tactics. - Might not be the obvious choice but it's sooo good.

Myers without Lethal Pursuer. - Again, hopelessly addicted.

Clown without STBFL - Why settle for laughing at survivors every 30 seconds, when you can laugh at them every 20 seconds?

Sadako with Thrilling Tremors.

Always run lethal on Pinhead to find box easily

A lot of killers and Enduring. My pretty little noggin can only take so much

Brutal Strength is my comfort perk. The only time I take it off is if I have a build where I need all 4 perks to be other things.

Also Corrupt on Trapper.

Billy and Blight with Shadowborn

Bubba with spirit fury and lightborn

I can’t imagine how painful playing Huntress will be if I take Iron Maiden off.

Discordance on Oni gives me the pressure I need early game,goes for most killers tbh but I find Discordance on Kazan more useful and with Prove Thyself on every survivor you can always be sure to get alot of value from it.

Monitor & Abuse on Myers paired with the Dead Rabbit add-on you have a 6m terror radius in tier 2 which can make Michael very lethal on indoor maps,won't be as helpful on open maps such as blood lodge or Eyrie but still can help you get a easy early hit before a chase even starts.

I change perks quite often but PwyF on Legion is surprisingly neat

Often first perk i pick on them if i'm not sure what to take

I didn't know you could see the boxes aura with this. Very cool. Are there any other perks that reveal the boxes aura?

I refuse to play Clown without Brutal Strength it's kind of a problem.

STBFL on Pig

Lethal + BBQ on Huntress. I used to be addicted to Iron Maiden, but I think I've become confident enough in hitting hatchets that I'm only ever reloading after getting a down or hook, so it's not a huge time saver anymore.

Sloppy on most m1 killers.

Clown without STBFL is pain as well

It's one of those perks I just can't play him without

Corrupt and Whispers on all Killers

But I might have to rethink my builds here soon

Really depends for me.

Usually stuff like STBFL I need on killers like Nemesis or basically killers who use secondary attacks mainly but most of the time it just goes by their over power.

If I play Pinhead I need Horder,Oni I need Sloppy butcher though for killers like Wesker or Knight I usually go with Lethal and at least another aura perk just so Lethal can give some value.
