Underrated builds for survivor?

I made this discussion because maybe everyone can share their own underrated build which they find useful. Everyone can try these builds if you are tired of your own build.

I usually use this combo: Decisive Strike, Dead Hard, Adrenaline and something like Borrowed Time or Iron Will and I want to try something else because I played so much with these perks that it becomes boring.

I have an ideea of a build: Resilience, Iron Will, Windows of Opportunity and Lithe. I would love to try it but I'm not home right now.

    Lithe, Dance With Me, Quick and Quiet.

    I also like Stake Out and Diversion, rewarding you for staying near the killer.

    P3 Claudette, No Mither, Iron Will, Calm Spirit, Spine Chill

    Just be immersed. 1000%.

    Plunderer's, Ace in the Hole, Streetwise, and something like Adrenaline. Loot a good item and you're set for the rest of the match

    Windows is ok but it's nicer to combo Lithe with Quick and Quiet or Dance with Me (or both).

    That's a nice build for you to try:

    Lithe, Quick and Quiet, Dance With Me and then 4th slot is open.

    Another good build is:

    * No Mither, Resilience, Spine Chill and Tenacity.


    And my favorite:

    * Plunderer's, Ace in the Hole, Bond, Streetwise

    I'm a Blendette and I like this build but instead of No Mither I would put resilience/balanced landing xD

    You want NM so that the killer could never slug you in a situation where there are 2 of you left, and because you don't leave blood. If you never get found you can never get hit...

    EDIT: Also NM + IW = 150% quieter which will beat Stridor 100%. So if it's a Spirit with Stridor, or a killer with Bloodhound they have no way to track you except scratchmarks. You can use the crows as an early warning sign something is coming near you, and Spine Chill will tell you if it's the killer or not. Calm Spirit also counters Doc and anything that makes you scream/reveal you position. Since you don't need to heal Nurse's is useless against you with NM, as is any exposed effect.

    You just focus on hiding. The build and Claud will do the rest.

    Any build that includes Spine Chill is underrated. This perk is god tier, exceling even perks like Dead Hard and Borrowed time by a mile. I even think it is the best perk you can have in a chase if you are really good with it and certainly the best perk against stealthy killers. Especially it is great against Nurse and Spirit too.

    How about this:

    Iron Will

    Spine Chill

    Dead Hard

    Resilience

    My favorite build is No Mither, Self Care, and Solidarity. Last perk can be either Mettle of Man, or Adrenaline.

    Don't forget to bring a medkit with a styptic or a Syringe to really show that killer whats up. If you are extra daring...bring both.

    Resilience without No Mither? What a waste! And you're not immersed if you're balanced landing.

    Real Blendettes play with No Mither because it leaves no blood.

    Head On + Quick and Quiet + Ds

    Head On is underated.

    New Dark Sense + Poised might be good combo

    Run away from killer while you leave no scratch and see killer aura

    Other two perks can go Prove thyself + Bond since those are my favorite perks

    Head On is buggy. Have they fixed that hit box yet? It's so hard to get Head On to hit the killer properly.

    Small Game. Spine Chill. Iron Will. Adrenaline.

    They fixed the hit box awhile ago. It works wonderfully now. Your body actually has to hit the killer so it's a little tricky at first but you get used to it. :)

    Empathy, Autodidact, We'll Make It, and Deliverance

    I play 99% solo as survivor and to spice things up I have this fun little build that also comes with a fun little self-made gimmick.

    Plunders/ Ace in the (my) hole/ Bond or Empathy/ Selfcare or Borrowed

    Selfcare is simply so I don't have to use the chest medkits on myself (and I'm solo)

    Bond or Empathy so I can find teammates easier (since I'm solo)

    The point of this build is to change my main "objective" based on what I find in the box.

    Medkits - I play to save and heal as many teammates as possible focusing mainly on keeping others alive.

    Toolbox - I play as the "Gen jockey" and focus down gens or 99% hooks (when convenient)

    Flashlight - I want to be the one in a chase or ready to save someone about to be picked up. My focus is to keep the heat off others or be a possible threat when picking people up in open spaces.

    Map - I want to make sure I keep pressure on any gens I find and to avoid getting into any sort of 3 gen trap (I also like to tap all the gens so they can be found easier and to make the killer think someone might be nearby).

    Key (excluding broken key, I just cry if I get this) - I want to get as many people to a hatch as possible, this isn't a solo escape for me.

    The add-ons that Ace in the (my) hole give me will slightly alter my focus but it all pretty much stays the same as above.

    *I still play the game normally, the above items simply change my primary focus, and in all these games I'm not concerned with my own safety but rather getting the team through via different means.*
