A Question for ANY Freddy mains on the forums.

The amount of range he gets from range addons is ridiculous, he can sleep someone from halfway across the map. Like the blocks this reduces his wasted time because he'll spend the transition time moving to the survivor, and it puts them in the dream quicker because he won't have to reach them before tagging them with sleep.

With blocks, you might spend 10 seconds walking to someone, then 3 seconds waiting for them to sleep. With range addons you sleep them before reaching them, and they spend 7 seconds falling asleep, that's 6 seconds less time they have that they can safely stay on that gen or reach that hook or whatever.

It'll also make it much easier to keep people asleep since you can sleep people in such a larger range from you. It's like having a 40 meter zone of sleep rather than a 12 meter one. Simply put, the range addons help in more situations than the blocks do.

Freddy has an oft forgotten ability, the transition flickering. A good Freddy will know the timing of this and be able to execute mindgames with it to get a free first hit most of the time without needing to equip blocks. Blocks may actually throw the timing off and cause him to lose out on more free hits than he gains.

Finally the dresses are good just for security, knowing that if someone's in the dream, you can probably count on them being in it for a while unless they find an awake survivor.

You don't use block add-ons because an experienced Freddy is getting free hits out of the transition anyway. So you're just reducing the transition time but getting no further benefit out of dream state.

Class Photo is the best game stalling add-on, period. Freddy is powerful when people are asleep and powerless when they aren't. Class Photo gives near complete map control if you want it. If you get 3 stacks of Devour Hope and you have a Class Photo, the game is over.

Swing Chains/Jump Rope give you added slowdown in dream state. You should have multiple people in dream state at all times. You're doing it wrong if you're sleeping one person with double blocks and eating pallet and pallet. This is where the "Freddy is weak" talking point comes from. Not that OP is doing that, but that's what a lot of inexperienced Freddy players do.

The range add-ons are incredible for sleeping multiple targets without sacrificing chase. You can sleep targets on the fly without having to disengage.

I personally enjoy class with the Nancy masterpiece considering tht it work like a BBQ giving me map awareness with the sniping to Dreamland.

Use pills to confuse the survivors. The dresses limit the skillchecks involve but like other have said it more of a luck based rng.

It's definitely easier to get the initial hit with time reduction, but you can still get easy initial hits in most areas with the 7 second base transition. Obviously if you're near a god window or something, there's not much that can be done. But, for instance, at 7 seconds you can stand on one side of the pallet at the 2 second mark, flip to the other side at the 4 second mark, and then go back to the original side and get a hit 90% of the time. Also, if you happen to have M&A on, the initial hit almost becomes a moot point because you can sleep and forget them for a few seconds, then sneak up on them.
