Any tips on how to play hag?
I started playing hag a few days ago and I am having a blast using her, I tried different approaches but the my favourite has to be body blocker hag
But I still struggle setting up the web (I also tried using devour on her but it always gets cleansed so if anyone has any tips to defend totems please let me know)
So yeah, just wanted to learn her play style a bit more

Mint rag hex builds are my personal favourite, but you could also do deadlock with your favorite chase or aura perks.

Thanks for the advice, I never run mint rag because I didn't know how to use it but I'll give it a go

Hag is a really weird killer, she isn't really a chase killer until you fully understand her kit and even then you have to have a specific build for it. She's a set up killer, that requires a significant amount of map knowledge to know where to successfully place traps. Negoose is a hag main that I've followed for the past year whose amazing, he post the good the ok and the ugly. I recommend watching a few of his older videos really pre mint rag buff to really understand how to play her and good places to set traps. My hag build right now is stbfl, jolt, monitor and abuse, and sloppy, some times I replace m&a with agi but that's just preference. For add-ons I usually run trap setting speed yellow and tp distance green. I don't like stacking slow down really. I will advise you most of my games start at 4 gens sometimes 3 due to the lack of corrupt and time spent making my web. I used to main hag a while ago a little rusty on her now but hope this helps a little.

If you play chasing hag with the iri add on coub de grace and play with you food are good perk choises too. Survivors don't expect you to be so fast and have so big lunge.

I love Hag and play her a ton. She requires a lot of knowledge about how survivors path.
My first tip would be to disguise your traps. Always try to hide them in grass or bushes if you can. Instead of setting the trap directly in the pathway of a jungle gym, main building, etc, tuck it off the side so the survivor won't see it as they approach. A trap directly in the entrance of a building might work, but what if you walked in one step and set it slightly to the right so you can't see it from the outside? Remember that the traps have a trigger radius. A survivor doesn't have to step directly on them to activate them. A good rule of thumb I use for setting traps: always offset to the left or right of an entrance/pallet, and always in a patch of grass or bush if possible.
Knowing maps in general is another key. Setting a trap at the bottom of a common dropdown is usually an automatic hit. Pig vat on The Game is a good example of this. Free hit at the bottom of the vault. Garden of Joy main building is free hits all day for Hag. None of those vaults are safe against her. Midwich is a free 4k with the green range add on. Some maps are tougher, mainly due to size.
Take advantage of the camera flip that happens when a trap goes off. You can force medium vaults this way near windows. This also goes back to the first tip. When you set traps off the to the side of things, you force errors in survivor pathing due to the camera flip.
Resist the urge to put all your traps within 20m of a hook. Better teams are going to require good trap placement that is more spread out.

I have had trouble finding a guide that is both up to date and actually shows the multitude of traps available.
I found a guide that is kind of outdated but still gives you a good idea on how different traps work so you can play more aggressively, think of Hag as a mix between Trapper and Spirit.

If they harass your traps, continue to set them up properly until you got a good web of net, never fall into the bait of chasing them.
Hag is not a chase killer which a lot of new hag players fail to understand (unless they run specific addons obviously)
She is more about macro management and map control.
Try to keep yourself somewhat hidden in the early game so its harder for the survs to check where you are placing those traps
Run agitation, a single basement hook can determine¨the whole outcome of a match if survs dont know how to deal with it

A few quick tips:
1: My most important thing is to not let survivors see you while you're setting up your web. If a survivor sees you setting traps they'll sneak back and deactivate it.
2: Rather than setting traps at loops (which you should still do while in chase), set them at routes between loops. This is where your survivor skills come into play, because if you know how survivors like to path you can set traps to catch them out in the open. I like to set my traps at the corners of tiles in high traffic areas to catch survivors moving from one part of the map to the next. Survivors usually expect you to trap pallets and windows and won't expect traps out in the open.
3: If you don't know this already, if you trap a chokepoint like a doorway or window don't place your trap in the center. Place it off to the side because it causes survivors' cameras to swerve towards your trap, which can be very disorienting. Survivors hate when you do this, which is how you know it's effective.
4: If you're playing on PC rebind your teleport key from Ctrl to an easier to reach key like E. If you're expecting a survivor to run into your trap, start spamming the button to teleport as early as possible.
