Plague tips
Decided to have a crack at Plague and have been having a lot of fun with her. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for using her. As far as builds go, where her strengths are, weaknesses, ect.
So far, what I've been doing with her is just making survivors sick and not ingesting the corruption from the pools. Has been working pretty well and have been getting 3 or 4 kills per game (without add ons). Like I said, any tips or nuances that I may not know about would be appreciated.

My friend says run Thantophoia on her. It forces them to heal or deal with the permanent debuff. This way you can get her corrupted more easily instead of people being sick and nvr healing it off.

I love plague so here is what I know.
1.) You can do early game gen maintenance when nobody is sick by vomiting on gens, they will get sick on bottom right telling you where they may be.
2.) Most likely people won't cleanse and then you have the amazing power of 1 shot the rest of the game. Getting good at mindgames will help end chases quickly, or even spirit fury/enduring.
3.) If people don't cleanse then they don't heal. They get off hook and then right back on a gen. From my experience gens go faster on plague than other killers, so perks like thanatophobia, PGTW, and ruin are great to keep the game running long enough to win.
4.) Listen for survivors cause you will hear them vomiting, also look for sick vaults as sometimes that slow vault to be stealthy, but its obvious. Sometimes even a locker is green from someone using it, poor soul doesn't understand how plague works.
5.) I also reccomend trying out PWYF. Normally this perk is bad as it takes too long to gain stacks and it gets consumed too fast. With Plague you can one shot every survivor meaning you keep your stacks past one chase. If they don't cleanse, which is the norm, then you are unloopable at 3/2 stacks. It is a bit luck based and leaving your obsession alive can hurt you a bit, but this perk is super fun and steamrolly once it gets going. Get stacks, down, hook, and either refresh stack or chase down another. PWYF does not work well with corrupt purge, but makes it easier to use vile purge.
6.) I guess one final thing. IF they cleanse you pretty much win. Camping with corrupt purge is a very easy two down. Or if you chase survivors its a very fast and easy down. It also tells you where they are. Every match that I see people cleanse, I make them regret it real quick.
