Knight players: jailer vs assassin? And what's your favorite addon.

I posted this about a year ago and the general consensus was assassin in pretty much every way. I feel people have caught onto jailer advantages now. 24 second chase (up to 36 at max range and 40 with a addon) biggest circle means consistent scans. And longest scabbard spawn time. He does lack in speed though compared to assassin. I do think one addon can put him above assassin in most cases though. Probably my favorite of his reworked addons.

"Upon breaching a village, the first thing they would extinguish was the torches, and with them, hope. Grants the undectable status effect while a guard is hunting a survivor".

Basically makes it so you can get jailer on someone and drop chase to get the jump on someone else. A very good addon that I don't think people expect a lot. What would you put as knights best guard and addons?

    I think every guard has its potential and functions. Assassin can't get hits in some survivors (because they have exaustion perks, they are in a strong loop) - so Jailer is the way to go in these scenarios. Also, i really like Jailer for spending someone's time while i do something like kicking a gen or carrying someone to the hook. But yeah, i really love the assassin!! When he gets a hit i think: "THAT MA BOI!"

    I'm still very conservative in addons as i use Call to Arms and Dried Horsemeat almost 100% of the time.

    I don't know why you would want to play a killer with a power consumed by bugs but respect to you. I couldn't continue playing this killer any longer when one of my guards continuously get stuck in the most laughable ways.

    Silent Knight is probably my favorite build on him.
    Though I love running actually scary builds on my killers. No terror radius for the win
