    Clown is generic M1 Killer with low map pressure. You need end chases asap and slow down gens rush.

    Enduring + Spirit Fury - if you going to swing through pallets

    or

    Brutal Strength + Bamboozle - if you going to force early pallet drops

    Ruin or Thana or PGTW for slowing down gens - whichever suits your playstyle more.

    BBQ for tracking/points or STBFL for continue chase faster - which ever you prefer, since Clown has standart speed - STBFL probably better

    Fire Up Bamboozle, Enduring Spirit fury epic pallet breaking simulator

    I personally run BBQ for prioritizing other survivors, Bamboozle because the Afterpiece tonic helps with pallets already, Bitter Murmer for targeting those out in the open, and Save the Best for Last to pressure on survivors to put down pallets quickly or catch them out on a mistake. @Frozenscum also has a point with ending chases quickly being essential to Clown.

    My build before I prestiged him was something like Save the Best for Last + Pop Goes the Weasel + Brutal Strength + BBQ and it worked pretty well at ~ Rank 8.

    STBFL - Keep on smacking the Survivors with reduced cooldowns on successful attacks becomes super useful as the trial goes on. I run this perk on every M1 Killer.

    PGTW - Since you aren't running Ruin and your build is chase-centric you need some generator pressure. Combined with BBQ you can see where gens are progressing and go damage them.

    Brutal Strength - Gets you into the habit of just breaking the pallet instead of letting yourself get looped + helps you end the chase quicker. Pairs well with PGTW because you can break the gen really quickly for massive damage after hooking someone.

    BBQ - Obviously. Double the BP + bounce from survivor to survivor and maximize on your PGTW map pressure.

    He's an extremely effective Killer already in chase but if you throw in Bamboozle instead of Brutal Strength you could maximize on that front.

    @WaffleFalafel

    Bitter Murmur is pretty ######### perk, if gen is done somewhere you already know its ppl there, so its basically do nothing to you. Since you run STBFL pair it with Rancor, it does better job than Murmur, you will spend only 1 hit for obsession in the end to save your STBFL stacks.

    I disagree. Bitter Murmur can save the endgame and also helps you know where the Survivors are going after completing a gen. It's not the best perk but it's definitely not #########.

    On Clown, you generally want to run Brutal Strength instead of Enduring. Survivors tend to drop the pallet earlier to not risk a hit because of the hindered status effect from the bottle so you'll be breaking pallets more often than you will be getting stunned by them. Just my personal opinion.
