Your best ways of countering the plague

Not going to lie. She is a insanely powerful killer especially if you know how to juggle your Purge ability. Even though I have been wrecking face with her I have noticed quite a bit of a weakness is that very few people actually think about I'm going to go ahead and name one and I'll let the rest of you give your own since I really want to see what people can come up with.



I have noticed that this is a very powerful killer that will absolutely get destroyed if she dares tunnels.


Seriously, if a Survivor is looping you for more than one generator peel off of that Survivor and go over someone a little weaker

    I feel like right now people are just having too much fun seeing her ability in action that they aren't trying to track properly. I haven't seen a pleg player yet who has noticed me crouching right in front of her freaking face. Not gonna lie though, she may not have an ass, but it's good looking at her from behind. B)

    Also, I agree with you on the tunnelling thing but I can't quite put my hands on it yet why that is.

    Low tank here, but you’re right I’m just screwing around getting a feel for spit aiming and getting used to her height.

    She gets even taller when charging and using her power. She’s even taller than the corn stalks on Coldwind maps.

    I treat her like a hybrid between Huntress and LF.

    You do NOT want her to get close to you. You want to keep as much distance as possible and break LOS often. If you are not sick and she pukes on a pallet or window, run to another loop. If you are sick just keep looping and don't worry about the sickness. Only worry when you are close to being Broken, so you usually want to drop the pallet a little early.

    If she has Corrupt Purge, do not just vault windows or drop pallets willy nilly. Keep looping and focus more intensely on breaking LOS. Pretty much like Huntress at this point. Don't go for unsafe rescues when she has Corrupt Purge, unless you have BT.

    If you get the chance to clean the sickness, go to the farthest, most out of the way fountain you can to force her to waste time if she wants Corrupt Purge. If you are not 100% sick you can rush gens, but stop before you get to 100% or you will infect the gen. If you are super ballsy and want to completely deny her Corrupt Purge stay sick as long as you can just be careful not to spread it to others. Stay away from them and do gens solo. In fact, do your best to never group up so she can't hit more than 1 of you with a single purge.

    Don't lie she sway's pretty good and the new thick Survivor is a bonus.


    Has for why tunneling is bad with her. Is bad for every killer but it's an outright game Ender when it comes down to her play style. Yes you can leave you in the broken state but if you can throw enough pallets and if she isn't willing to break any just so she can get an easy down she's going to fail every time.

    Generally as long as you're not in an open area with Plague you should be fine. It's all about braking the line of sight and keeping distance.

    She's not really a threat to anyone who can loop since this is her downfall. When she does get corrupt, I'd suggest to spread out from one another and play stealthy until the corruption is over, This basically gives you the free heals from the fountain and takes away her power if she can't find anyone in time. But if you do get caught while she has the power up, Just try to loop structures and brake line of sight, treat her like a huntress with quick hatchets. Also Use the fountains furthest away from her to force her to give up map pressure if she does decide to go and get the power up. you can also crouch right by a pallet and she can't hit you with her vomit.

    Overall, I'd say she would be a Higher mid tier but after her nerf she's a straight up mid tier killer. The slow down she receives when holding helps you get that distance and brake LOS.

    Her sway makes up for her lack of back meat. lol

    Tbh now that you mention it, I think that tunnelling as her end game might be a good strat. Especially if she gets the vile purge after a set time has passed without having to use a fountain.
