Skull merchant

The only thing worse than playing against her is playing as her.

If it wasn't for these challenges I wouldn't be going anywhere near her but I'm trying to get the rift done as quickly as possible so that I can call it a day and not worry about not finishing it later.

Are there any good builds for her? Even with the recent changes I still can't for the life of me find use in her for chasing

    I run lightborn, trail of torment, tinkerer, lethal pursuer with adaptive lighting and shotgun speaker addons.

    I try to focus on maximizing her stealth aspects mainly because I can't stand being on gens. This build isn't great of some of the larger maps, but generally you spend most of your time with your TR turning on and off which seems to through survivors off.

    If you wanna play chase oriented:

    Game afoot, Play With Your Food, Scourge Hook: Pain Resanance, Brutal Strength.

    Always place 3 drones at the gens to get your speed bonus. One drone for the chase or as a reserve. With Game afoot and PWYF you will be up to 20% faster and mostly chase your obsession. I recommend the green addon for exhaustion and the purple addon for 2% more haste and 15% BS or aura reading. If u do it right, this build is very effective.

    She is good, people dont want try understand her and just play trigen Adriana because people have laziness about learn her. She pretty good in chases using 1 drone and chase's builds, brutal, bamboozle, etc, She has so much potencial with her addons. hide red light, make skill checks smaller than normal, no sound for skill checks, aura reading, she has a lot of potencial and who likes Adriana, like me, dont play on trigen, because is boring a lot. Now, people hate Adriana and her playstyle because so many people needs just to complete the rift. The real enjoyers of Adriana dont play in tri gen style. ----> Who hates and screaming about trigen Adriana are who more play as her in that style.<----

    Try chases builds

    Try impossible skill check builds

    Try furtive builds

    She has a lot of potencial to be explore and enjoy.

    I have yet to see a single Dull Merchant do anything except guard Devour for 30 minutes or hold an infinite 3-gen.

    I couldn't agree more. I especially like her jumpscare ability on indoor maps.

    I'll also be happy when the rift is over and the general hate spreads to Blight, Nurse or Whiskas again 😅

    What bug's me the most is the "I Got it, I want it" challenge. I can't be upset at the fact that avoiding the drone's is the right move, but this 1 challenge is extending the amount of skull merchant match's i have to do and the amount of people giving up immediatly just make's it harder to get done.

    I feel the exact same way. Setting up drones in chase or even just for general map pressure doesn't work in your favor. It all comes down to those last 3 gens and I'd rather throw the match than camp 3 gens.

    I've used her drones to force survs off strong loops, but I simply don't enjoy playing her.

    I wonder if she was designed by someone who's not actually playing this game. She might looked ok-ish on paper.

    Every time I'm forced to play her for the rift, I feel so... dirty, and immediately stop playing the game due to this horrible feeling after I complete the challenge.

    It's the same kind of uncomfortable guilt I feel if I have "improper" thoughts about someone I shouldn't, like a good friend or something.

    I never minded playing killers I disliked for old rifts, because their kits got more finalized and my feelings of dislike had time to dull, but now I'm practically forced to play as and against an (I believe) unfinished, unfun killer, of which I still harbor intense feelings of dislike towards.

    I really wish they'd go back to doing tomes for older characters, not only for gameplay reasons, but for story reasons too. With previously related characters, the devs know which parts of their stores resonate with the community and should be expanded upon, but they're flying blind with new characters that the community hasn't had some time to get to know.

    True after completing her challanges I refused to kill someone and thanked them, that I dont need to play her again.

    Drop your drones over the strongest areas of the map and her chases are much easier. You would be surprised how often you have haste. Other than that here are my builds.

    Corrupt, DL, Thrilling, Merciless

    Undying, Devour, Blood Favor, Pentimento....Drop a drone on each of your totems at start of match also Haunted Grounds instead of Blood Favor works too I just get more value from BF as they rarely get to cleanse anything.

    Corrupt, Jolt, Game afoot, Rancor

    These are my most valuable builds on her as I refuse to play 3-gen game.
