The Ultimate Solo Survivor Build

Okay, let's suppose you normally play killer and have a good amount of experience in survivor as well. What perks should you run to maximize your chance of surviving AND ranking up as survivor. There's only one rule restricting what perks you can pick: at least one of the perks MUST be Kindred.

So what have you guys got?

    I know that since I main Quentin currently I'm likely to use either Adept Quentin + Kindred or Kindred + Wake Up + Spine Chill + Botany Knowledge.

    Bond

    Open handed

    A lot of survivors still suck at playing even with kindred perk. They don't go over to repair a gen with another survivor. Some just walk around randomly.

    if you're solo, you might want to rethink meta and play selfishly. You said you wanted to survive, not help people survive. Due to the insane increase in tunneling, going for unhooks may prove seriously futile if you want to rank up.

    I started using Left Behind recently and i've gotten a lot of mileage out of it, including quite a few escapes. It's an incredibly underrated perk that needs some love.

    A lot of games end with dcs/4k with 4-5 gens left from my recent exp.


    Left Behind

    Kindred

    Bond/Diversion

    Plunders/Spine Chill/Sprint Burst/Lithe, depending on how you feel.


    I found that if you are using Left Behind a lot, run Diversion. So once you pop the gen you can throw your pebble and skate off into the other direction.

    I bring

    Lithe

    Deliverance

    Borrow Time

    Self Care

    Generally stuff that benefits me in the end in case my teammates do something that could end up getting me killed. :P

    Don't use kindred.

    I mean it's a great perk but also you could do much better with a different one that helps you during the actual game or chase.


    And you're wasting 2 perks just for healing.

    Just pick self care.

    **Lithe, Quick and Quiet, Dance With Me, Iron Will** seem to work well for me if I'm trying to make sure I survive. Allows you to disappear from a chase whether injured or not.

    I always play solo. Always.

    I use:

    Aftercare to see other survivors.

    Stakeout to get a boost while doing gens

    Tenacity to crawl & recover at the same time in case I'm slugged

    Unbreakable to stand up in case I'm slugged.


    Yes, if I'm being chased, you bet I'm running towards other survivors.

    (Exhaustion Perk) I'm fond of BL because of the passive bonus.

    Kindred

    Adrenaline

    (Whatever) Pharmacy/Ace in the hole/Borrowed time

  • Poweas
    Poweas Member Posts: 5,873

    Balanced Landing/Lithe (they are far superior to SB or DH)

    Iron will

    Kindred

    And We'll make it. Ez gens.

    I use q&q, DWM, poised and self-care. The best solo build in my mind though is bond,open-handed, kindred and small game.
