    Surveillance

    I often use surveillance just so I can keep track of what gens are actually being worked on

    Thrilling Tremors

    I use Surge, Thrilling AND corrupt

  • TheUnendingNightmare
    TheUnendingNightmare Member Posts: 1,172

    1-Ruin (obvious)

    2-Thanatophobia (make them think ruin is still on)

    3-Haunted ground (easy kill when they cleanse)

    Hex: Ruin

    I often use Hex: Ruin and when that fails I use the good ol trusty never lets me down uninstall.

    I use Hex: Ruin, often in combination with Pop Goes the Weasel. Discordance too, sometimes.

    And don't forget the endless chanting of "stay the **** away from my totem" during the trial

    Pop is good. You have to adjust your playstyle a bit, but 25% is massive.

    Pop Goes the Weasel

    Pop Goes the Weasel was a Perk I already loved before it was balanced better. I tried to make it work before, but the short duration, distance to Gens could easily be impossible to get and each Rank having different %s on Gen regression...made it a hindrance...but the concept was always one I loved. Since it's rework/balance alongside Dying Light, it's fast become a great Perk.

  • Theoretical_Heart
    Theoretical_Heart Member Posts: 398

    I kind of use anti-healing over anti-gen. I find I have more success when I can frequently one hit survivors.

    Pop Goes the Weasel

    Despite Ruin's clear strength, I never end up having it last all too long, so Pop will always hold a special place in my heart (also, Clown is bae).

    Don't really ever use one, but i like combing this Perk with Windstorm Add-ons sometimes.

    Surveillance

    What kind of perks do you use for anti-healing?

  • Theoretical_Heart
    Theoretical_Heart Member Posts: 398

    Sloppy Butcher, Thanataphobia, Nurses Calling

    Then the 4th perk is dependent upon Killer. This pretty much my build on all my killers except Trapper and Doctor.

    Thrilling Tremors

    While I use Ruin more often, I like using Thrilling for its multi use. If Ruin gets cleansed, I at least have that to fall back on WHILE being able to track which gen is getting done.

    Overcharge

    Well then. Being one of the few who voted for overcharge, guess I'll comment. I mostly use this over the rest because Its a doctor perk and thats my dude. But it seems to fit pretty well with my usual 3 gen strategy. If theyre working on a Gen I dont want them to, I kick it, and when I get a notification if they miss the skill check and I can return to the gen to chase em off.

    I also dont have PGTW because trying to level up the clown seems like such a drag right now.

    Pop Goes the Weasel

    PGTW is just better than Ruin in every way.

    Ruin- removes 4 seconds of a gen, and pauses it for 3 seconds.

    PGTW- instantly removes 20 seconds off a gen and rewards you for hooking survivors.

    Combine this perk with discordance, really.

    Discordance

    I use Discordance in combination with Overcharge. Discordance allows me to find the biggest group of survivors early on and send them scattering before they can repair their first gen, and throughout the match, it lets me know whenever there's an opportunity to disrupt multiple survivors at once.

    Overcharge allows me to put consistent pressure on the generators, without having to rely on getting a hook or hope that the Ruin totem won't be found.

    Been trying to play without Ruin for a while now.. with mixed results.. and I've been relying on PGTW instead.

    Overcharge

    Pop goes the weasel + Overcharge for when I don't want to play a match with only 3 perks as my ruin totem gets destroyed within the first minute of the match 80% of the time. XD

    I notice a lot of people fail the overcharge skill check. Most likely because it's not used very often so people don't expect it I guess.

    Hex: Ruin

    Ruin, Pop, sometimes Thataophobia + Dying Light as a combo.

    Pop Goes the Weasel

    PGTW all the way. More reliable than Ruin.

    On some Killers I use Corrupt Intervention as well.

    Except you have to hook someone and go to a gen, Ruin is passive and affects all the players (until cleansed 30 seconds in.)

    Pop Goes the Weasel

    I only recently started using Ruin but I'm much more a fan of PGTW. Not a fan of gambling my perk slot. RNG is too fickle

  • Yung_Slug
    Yung_Slug Member Posts: 2,238
    Hex: Ruin

    I haven't put in the time to get to higher ranks as killer, so Ruin is still pretty reliable. Pop is nice too, though.

    Also, you forgot Corrupt Intervention for those Trapper mains.

    Pop Goes the Weasel

    Back in 2017/2018 I would've said Remember Me, absolutely loved that perk. However since that got gutted with Endgame Collapse, PGTW has been the go-to slowdown perk for me.

    Pop Goes the Weasel

    I prefer Pop because it can allow me to instantly regress a gen of my choice, not where survivors take me as a killer.

    None because gen slow perks make the game far too easy.

    Surveillance

    I run surveillance and pop together quite a lot. Helps me shut down progress pretty effectively.
