I started playing Huntress this week, now I can finally say I play all Killers, she is super fun and rewarding when you get hatchet hits off, I get a lot more people DC'ing when I play her normally than most other Killers, my question is as I'm leveling her, any good builds for her?

It takes me some practice when I play her each day cause damn your first game with her each day is not like riding a bike.

    I'm not a huntress player but her typical build at red ranks is:

    BBQ, Ruin, Nurse's Calling and Whispers.

    I've seen some people using Iron Maiden instead of whispers though.

    And remember, on-hit effects doesn't work with her hatchets (only with her basic attack),.

    My usual is as follows:

    - BBQ: For bloodpoints and tracking.

    - Iron Maiden: Faster reloading and the occasional tracking.

    - Ruin/PGTW: To give a bit of slow.

    - Whispers/Nurse's: Tracking

    sometimes I switch up my slowdown perk or my tracking ones, but Iron Maiden and BBQ stay in there for me.

    I personally run BBQ, Ruin, and Nurse's. You should probably run Whispers but I run Shadowborn for the extra fov. Don't do Shadowborn kids.

    The standard meta build for her is Nurse's, BBQ, Ruin, Whispers. For add-ons wind-up are some of her strongest (but if you play with them a lot you become dependent on them), but it seems most top Huntress players prefer cooldown instead (hafts). Exhaustion add-ons are very effective to counter Dead Hard particularly, and then of course there is the OP combo of Iri Head and Belt (which is gonna net you a lot of DC's).

    Personally my favorite build is Agitation, BBQ, Iron Maiden, Whispers. Agi let's you make plays for the basement more often and saves you time when hooking. Iron Maiden makes you reload twice as fast, which feels amazing, and helps to counter BBQ jukes or give you a bit more tracking. It's a much more difficult build to play since you have 0 slow down perks, but the combination of Agi and Iron Maiden makes your basement game much stronger, where it's already one of the strongest in the game. Get a basement hook with this and you pretty much win.

    Beyond that there's not much else I could recommend. Huntress is not the type of killer that has a lot of builds. She has literally 1 build, then some off-shoots of that build. Main reason being she is slow, so it's harder for her to generate map pressure, and she needs extra tracking. She's amazing in a chase, but weak in everything else.

    Some people like to use Shadowborn on her. You can, it's helps for tracking, but if you ever take it off it will mess with your aim. I prefer to play without it personally. You are better off with aura perks for tracking.

    BBQ, Ruin, Nurse's, Iron Maiden. Or you can use reload add on and use Pop.
