    I suggest Skull Merchant, friend!

    Perks I would say Brutal Strength, Sloppy Butcher, Corrupt Intervention and Pain Res. Not exactly an ideal build, but it is one I was using recently.

    Feel free to choose the add-ons :)

    Well hey at least Skull Merchant isn't as bad a ghoul since she has counterplays

    Despite pyramidhead being broken with his flicks, his reworked addons like a fresh breath of air


    U can choose full aura (lethal pursuer, nowhere to hide, zanshin tactic, I’m all ears + aura addon that reveals survivors for 8 seconds)


    or gen kick, like trail of torment, nowhere to hide, eruption + call of brine/corrupt intervention. For addons I genuinely love his tape addon

    Even ghoul has counterplays and I enjoy going against him.

    If you are new on the killer side I'd suggest starting from a wraith, here some ideas:

    • Only original killers (total beginner): Predator, Noed, sloppy, thanatophobia (from nurse)→ [consider gift of pain in place of sloppy and deadlock instead of thana]

    • Meta tunnel: Deadlock, Noed, Bamboozle (Clown), ( you could play Ultimate Weapon (Alien) if you want to intercept saviours)

    • Mixing hooks: Gift of pain , Pain resonance (Artist), Grim embrace (Artist)/ Dead man switch (Slinger), Bamboozle (Clown)

    • Trigen defence : Eruption (Nemesis), Pop goes the weasel (Clown), Overcharge (Doctor), Dragon's grip (Hag)

    These are just some ideas, experiment and play as you enjoy the most, don't listen to people who judge you for how you play,

    it's entirely up to you

    As for add-ons I like : "Shadow Dance" - Blood and "Windstorm" - Blood (both purple rarity)

    my old friend plague is always a pleasant experience.

    I enjoy her with the Iridescent seal and the prayer tablet. tablet makes survivors choose to stay injured and thats where the seal punishes that.

    for perks I start corrupt to infect everything to passively injure the team and I have Surge to hold the Generators but the meat and potatoes are Mindbreaker and Tinkerer; survivors will be broken, blind, exhausted, you're Undetectable, know where they are and about to get your power.

    I've been having some fun with this Legion stealth build. The perks are Dark Devotion + Trail of Torment + Tinkerer + Surge. Use the Scratched Ruler for mobility and the Iri Button for breaking pallets.

    This build turns them into a speedy Ghost Face for much of the game and can be especially good if you get an indoor map like Midwich. The idea being to get quick injuries with an initial Frenzy or two, then to sneak around with undetectable status using line of sight blockers to pick off targets. If all goes to plan you'll get plenty of Surge value, since you'll be able to get really close to any Survivors working on gens (because nobody heals against a Legion).

    Pair the build with a cosmetic that resembles a Survivor in the lobby if you can (or use one of their more casual Survivor-esque outfits).

    Stealth perks on Legion is the closest you can get to playing as the Legion suggested in their original teaser trailer imo.

    I have a perma injured build i've used for a bit and its worked pretty good.

    Blood Echo, Unnerving Presence, Coulrophobia, and Distressing.
    It makes it to where the terror radius is huge and skill checks will happen more often and with high mobility they will get there quick. With blood echo and and a easy injurys killer the survivors will be Exhausted for quite a while.

    I always liked Stealty Trapper and making disarming a problem for survivors:

    • Bloody Coil
    • Trappers Bag or any trap management add-on really. Iri Stone is nice.
    • Hysteria/Alien Instinct
    • Deathbound
    • Deadlock/Corrupt Intervention
    • Anything really. Discordance, Bamboozle, Sloppy Butcher, Surge can all be quite nice.

    Got any Freddy build recommendations? Was thinking to give him a whirl tomorrow

  • GeneralV
    GeneralV Member Posts: 12,673

    Well, my friend, I haven't played Freddy in a long time. But I'll try to give you something here!

    Freddy works really well with information + slowdown combos, especially in the current meta. You can go with BBQ and Pop or Pain Res and DMS, both combinations will work well. Alternatively you can go with Ruin, which is a little bit risky but it can help you save time, Friends Til' The End can be useful depending on the obsession's positioning. If you're looking for anti-healing then I would personally recommend Leverage or Gift of Pain instead of Sloppy Butcher. Brutal Strength is also a solid choice in general.

    As for add-ons, Jump Rope is pretty good, Pill Bottle, Z Block and even Nancy's Sketch can help you, friend!

    all shaking Freddy is kinda cute; jump off heights as you teleport for extend-o-lunges

    jagged compass is pretty clean on them too i was just kinda pairing it with gift of pain

    Houndmaster with a full hex build

    Hexes: Thrill of the Hunt, Devour Hope, Face the Darkness, as well as Undying

    For add ons, run Trainers book and Fatty Meat, or alternatively Marlinspike and Fatty Meat. Now that the Houndsense unhook bug is gone, If you keep afflicting the status effect on survivors, they'll never be able to cleanse a totem for at least 64/45 seconds.

    Truly a diabolical build I cooked up last month. Perhaps even Devious one might say. Houndmaster is a rare come across, but this'll make survivors despise her.

    Thank you both! Have played a few games and quite enjoying him currently. A couple of things, I'm not sure if it's just because I'm on controller but the switching between snares and pallets feels tedious, especially with teleport thrown in there. I often forget (or rather, ignore) the pallets. Am I holding myself back, or is it okay to prioritise one over the other? Also not sure if it's a settings issue but since I use toggle, I'm used to just tapping the button so I'm accidentally cancelling my teleports at times and then I need to wait to recharge again grr

    Re perks, I dont really use info or regression on other killers I play (with a few exceptions thrown in there) but i can see why both are beneficial for Freddy. Teleporting means I'm kicking gens more often, plus it kind of sucks teleporting to a gen with no progress and no survivors ngl lol

    And sorry OP for hijacking your thread, hopefully the bumps get you some more recommendations though
