Killer views plz!

As killer, do you ever run things like Hex: Plaything or Trail of torment to make a 'ninja' build, hiding Terror radius and such from the survivors? I've been having amazing success with it for about a year now with Trapper! Naughty bear is the best ninja.

Curious if others have tried this, their thoughts, and brainstorming other types of said builds. I'd love to know how it compares to the regression meta atm. I know its not as strong, but can you still get results? :)

Thanks!

    Not anymore, but I used to do it.

    You see, there used to be an excellent "ninja" build with Freddy. Keep in mind that Freddy could see everyone's auras if they were asleep and outside his Terror Radius.

    And well… he had a 24 metres TR at base. Monitor & Abuse reduced it to 16 when outside of a chase, and Red Paint Brush reduced it to 0. So all you had to do was send yourself to Léry's or The Game.

    Basically Mirror Myers, but stronger and more fun to play. It was, without a doubt, my favorite build in the game.

    Here is a demonstration:

    Personally I prefer Dark Devotion to "ninja." It maintains a terror radius. Even if they are within the radius they won't hear it change as I get closer. It's helped me get many gen grabs.

    I'm addicted to Trail+ Nowhere to hide combo. For me, it all started with Machine Learning despite that perk sucking.

    This combo on Skull Merchant makes me hard to read. I love Ninja Nemmy specifically because he's a loud guy, but Skully is a menace with how quiet she is.

    BBoth Trail and Plaything are nasty on killers you need a heads up against. Good luck against a permanent undetectable Billy.

    I've temporarily shelved Trail because right now I'm just playing Unknown and his perk works a bit better for him. Aura reads are essential for this killer, but it's hard to capitalize if Survivors know you're nearby.

    Unforeseen+ Nowhere to Hide or Nurses are how you get nasty wallbangs on this killer.

    For example, these 2 perks let you teleport to Badham main build and then you can snipe survivors doing basement gen by exploding uvx into the floor.

    I don’t unfortunately because my pookie bear has a 50 Meter lullaby😭 I’ve been begging Bhvr to make an Ultra Rare that makes her lullaby map wide so I can use stealth builds.

    Have you tried it anyway? Being in the lul and not knowing where she is would be terrifying lol. Her steps are thuddy, but not like nemmy or Demo.

    I dunno, I might try it. If it wrks well, Ill share the findings lol. Ty!

    We don't realy use plaything, but dark devotion, unforseen, and trail of torment are common when we want some hiding (fun fact, if you kick a gen while dark devotion is active it overrides it and vice versa).
