I made the same post but with survivor too and got some pretty decent suggestions, so I’ll do the same with killer. What are your main killer builds? Not meta, meme or anything else, just normal everyday killer builds? Currently I run FP, Mad Grit, Thanat, Thrilling Tremors or Jolt

    I sometimes like to run Agitation, Joltz, Thanatophobia, and Scourge Gift of Pain. It creates a damned if you do damned if you don't when it comes to healing. With agitation I can get to a scourge hook and if they get healed, they get a gen penalty and if they don't heal they still get a gen penalty. And then joltz so I don't have to worry about kicking gens too much. This build seems to work out pretty good for me and I haven't noticed killers running Thana with Gift of Pain.

    My default killer perk build if I don't know what I want to run is Agitation and Iron Grasp. Sometimes I add Mad Grit and Lightborn or Play With Your Food to complete the setup. (Putting on Play With Your Food with Agitation can be hilarious if you manage to pick up a survivor with one or more stacks. You literally just zoom across the map.) Other times I just have Agitation and Iron Grasp with two other perks that don't necessarily synchronize in any notable way.

    Another sort of default build of mine is Brutal Strength and Fire Up. Regardless of how weak or strong it is, it sure does feel good to just chipper-shred through pallets. Lately I've been pairing this with Hex: Crowd Control and Hex: Undying to try to force pallets down as fast as possible. It gets curb-stomped by bad totem placement or survivors running literally any totem-finding perk, of course, but it's pretty sweet when it actually works. I've gotten in chases with one survivor, hooked them, got in a chase with another survivor, and the second survivor was suffering the consequences of the first survivor fast vaulting a window in that first chase. It's really satisfying when it works.

    Coup de Grace was a guilty pleasure before it got the amount of stacks you received buffed, and now it's an absolute joy to run. It works well with any build, really.

    Other killer builds I run tend to be more specific to the killer themselves and their playstyle. I wouldn't be running Brutal Strength and Fire Up on the Demogorgon, for example. And I wouldn't run Agitation and Iron Grasp on Pyramid Head. But aside from that, the builds above are generally all-purpose killer builds.

    Coup de Grace + No Way Out + Pain Res + Tinkerer is my current go to.

    Tinkerer is only there cuz it's great on Skull Merchant knowing what gens to contest with your drones if I was playing a different killer it would depend if I just wanted a good general perk the last slot would probably be Jolt or STBFL.

    BBQ, Corrupt Intervention/Lethal Pursuer, Sloppy Butcher and Jolt on M1 Killer

    And on almost everyone else I run Pain Rez and Plaything instead of Sloppy and Jolt.

    Lethal Pursuer, BBQ, Shadowborn and whatever I feel like. Shadowborn never leaves my build, if I can help it. Lethal Pursuer and BBQ are my 2 comfort perks. They aren't the strongest perks in the game but I can relax with the information I get from them. The last perk is mostly something I decide on in the lobby. 4 flashlights? Guess I'll use lightborn. I play M1 killer? STBFL. You get the idea.
