The Artist...
Why is she soooo bad. The trophy to down 50 survivors with dire crows is near impossible... you literally hit them with 1 and by the time you have another ready to send they've already repeled the crows.... such a agitating killer no wonder no one plays her she's absolutely horrible

Artist is one of the strongest killers in the game.

The Artist is bad? It was my first time to hear this type of take...Isn't she A tier killer?

I don't believe that 1 bit. But if yall have any tips I'd appreciate them... I absolutely hate playing as her and trying to get even her adept trophy has been 1 hell of a challenge itself. Her dire crows just suck and her add ons don't help

If you play her a few matches hoping to get trophy, its not gonna work. The trophy being too easy to get lose its meaning.

I understand that but what I'm saying is I have roughly 25 hours played as her and I'm at 12 out of 50... so yes it's a bit excessive imo.
Thank you for video tho I appreciate it

She is quite literally top 5 or 6 of killers or something like that. She is really good, her crows can hit through walls and so on. Other than the guide you could look at old videos of ScottJund when he played her quite regularly with the what he called "shotgun playstyle", still quite effective.

Artists are powerful.
However, if you lose the tempo once, it creates a huge risk.
Maintain a tempo that pushes your survivors from start to finish.
It is effective to use predictive shots by calculating the survivor's movement speed.
If your opponent is good at avoiding crows, place two of them and strike in an area rather than a line.
The Festering Carrion add-on is required.

Her add-ons help a bunch if you take the time to properly understand them. Festering Carrion + Thick Tar is a good combo for example. You get your power back sooner, and survivors take more time to repel a swarm. Or you can run Festering Carrion + Velvet Fabric, the latter showing the aura of the swarm for a longer period of time, allowing you to aim your next shot.
The more crows you launch at once the longer it takes for your power to come back. With 2 or more, a survivor can repel a swarm quicker than you regaining your power. One crow to swarm, one to injure or down is the preferred method. Though if the survivor is already injured, one crow to swarm and a 'full broadside' of 3 crows as follow-up is an option. But using 2 or more for the initial swarm is too much.
Also, since the challenge states you have to down a survivor, hitting them at point blank with a crow counts as well. You can do this at loops. Here it helps to understand when a dire crow will inflict direct damage and when it won't.
Again, take some time getting used to timings, survivor movement, and add-on effects before jumping to conclusions.
Sincerely, an Artist main.

Most players says she is so powerfull so strong and top killer but no one is able to prove that I wonder why and no one is playing her. Most of the artists I saw since her realise DC if not just camped and tuneled for the entire of the match. During a chase changing a loop is enought to counter her power. Lockers are also extreamly strong against her. It is just better to leave and forget about her for now and play other better killers also it is not worth to listen to everything what streamers says about the game because they are not always right.

You can look at how she does in comp or the showcase otzdarva did or at some of Scott Junds old streams where he used to play her, but stopped since she is miserable to go against.

This achievement can be tough but here are some tips that might help:
- Using crows in chase against injured survivors to deny pallets/windows when paired with the Baby Shoes add-on (purple rarity, shows auras of survivors near your crows) will help you to get downs in chase [depends on survivor playstyle how effective this is]
- Using the severed hands (purple rarity, spreads crow swarms between nearby survivors) to "double hit" survivors on gens/healing off hook can get you a down if the survivor is already injured [survivors will catch on to this, works well for a bit with lethal/floods/discordance though, there are many videos on youtube]
- Using the thick tar (brown rarity, increases repel time by 0.5s) and using only one bird to swarm a survivor gives you time to shoot multiple crows at the survivor after that before they can repel, excluding lockers
- Don't go for birds at melee range in the open, they are super easy to dodge
if you find a survivor that does not play against the crows well and gives you multiple downs, try to down and slug instead of hooking where applicable so you can down them more times and get more progress for the achievement
that's about all I can think of, good luck with it

Artist main here. As with any killer, practice and patience is key.
Carrion and Tar will help you out as a beginner, you'd still only want to use one crow to swarm, otherwise you're wasting her power potentially, Once swarmed aim 2 or 3 birds judging on distance and the survivor's movement, predict.
Same with Gens, fire one crow to swarm, if someone get's swarmed that allows you enough time to potentially follow up with a snipe.
Aura perks are your friend, you do not need chase or utility perks. Use Gen regression, Gen blocking perks or Aura perks. Example build: BBQ / Dead man's Switch / Pain Resonance / Lethal Pursuer. Just an example build but pick perks that benefit her.
Once you get more comfortable with shots, Severed Hands is her best addon and allows you to do stuff like this;
Regarding loops you can place a crow to go through windows or over pallets if they stay in the loop or you force them to from zoning. Doesn't have to be over pallets or windows, but that's for direct dire crows within 8m. Can still swarm them through objects and injure them with a follow up if need be.
Definitely not a weak killer.

They way you do this is take the power cooldown add-ons and when you have a survivor wounded, charge and fire only 1 crow at them to tag them. This is the hard part, as the survivor can juke if they're paying attention, but a single crow comes back faster than they can repel by a significant margin.
You then scatter your 3 crows after the recharge and basically shotgun the survivor down, quite hard to miss after you've got your first tag.
You've got other methods of doing it like double shooting, and ofc using them to shut down loops, but this is the most consistent and easy way.
