What perk(s) are most efficient vs Blight?

Im thinking distortion and such to hide auras are a good choice.

Just looking for some Blight talk while I wait for a decent blight to appear.

    I always always always have lethal and BBQ. So distortion is always a good bet. But honestly, the only way to counter blight is by being a skillful, knowledgeable player.

    It honestly depends on the Blight's build and playstyle, so I don't know if there's a good approach to this. Like, Distortion could help but if they have a bunch of aura perks and/or C22 then they'll shred through your tokens quite fast.

    I'd say Windows is a good one, so you know what resources are left and where. That with Distortion and Sprint Burst, plus 1 flex perk, might be good.

    But I think you might be better off running something like Lithe/OtR/DS/DH. You Lithe when you don't have DH available, and then use OtR into DS into Lithe/DH if you're getting tunneled. Plus this build can also be used in games where you don't happen to vs. a Blight.

    Ah, good call.

    Regarding the distortion, would Sole Survivor be a good choice? With even one survivor down, I'd have 24 meters of no aura, which is where I'd need it. Hmmm.

    I dislike OtR, very loaded perk. So swapping that for SS, perhaps distortion could carry til SS kicks in, then easy. Blights not difficult to avoid/loop for me, but I know the aura reading is a big issue so I'm trying to tackle that with a build. This sounds amazing, so Ty!

    Dead Hard, Off the Record, Decisive Strike, just the usual perks. I can't think of any perks that speicifically counter Blight better than other killers, so you're just left with bringing general strong perks.

    Perks don't counter blight(as a blight main) skill does.

    You gotta learn how to change your midnset playing against him, trying to understand what he's gonna go for and confuse him or do something he doesn't expect.

    for example: 99% of blights on a car with a pallet loop will try to hug tec the car from the outside when you're right in front of him, you should know that and commit to go through the pallet, that way, even if he 180's the car you will be almost on the other side and he won't hit you.

    Windows, OTR, Lithe or SB. If the Blight is any good, your best course of action is to dump resources quickly and hope your teammates actually do gens. There's not going to be much in the way of looping a Blight with good bump logic.

    I wish I could agree. But my experience says Blight is upper mid tier at best. Im trying to find what others use in case my build was the reason I just havent had problems.

    Dump all resources? Like pallets and such? Damn..

    I don't think perks do much of use against Blight. I'd say Quick & Quiet, Cut Loose, DIstortion.

    Smash Hit could be useful if you correctly time and stun him.
