Does Amanda need a buff?

Does she need a buff? And what would you do?

I used to play her at lower ranks but then i started to use other killers that performed better.

I love that killer but i dont know why you wouldnt just use ghostface if you wanna be stealthy. I dont have a ghostface but from what ive seen hes a better option. Also i dont see amanda used at red ranks so much.

The sound she does when charging ambush is just alerting everyone so its sometimes better to just go and m1 people.

Also give me some builds that youve had succes.

    tbh I'd rework her kit. She is too rng based. trap could last ages and be a head pop or just get off immediatly and be useless. She is too slow in crouch mode to be an actual stealth killer.

    Considering the meta I'd probably make her crouch stronger and fix her traps to be smth of a midway so they could be at least decend in all games and not so annoying if rng happens

    Ghostface and pig is not even remotely similar though.


    Pig slows down the game a decent amount with traps, ghostface has nothing. Pig can go stealthy anytime she wants with no cooldown unlike ghostface. Pig can dash attack and mindgame small loops while ghostface can't.


    They both have pros and cons.

    Yeah they are different. Just talking about if you wanna be a stealth killer. Thats something i like. Its fun to surprise people. With gf you can sneak and get someone exposed.

    Maybe something to do with her ambush attack. Make the wind up shorter or delay the growl. I'm not sure.

    Yes, she needs a buff. She needs 100% crouch speed, a little bit more range on her Dash and better add-ons.

    You should go check out @NMCKE post on a buff to Amanda. It’s very well thought out.

    She needs an add-on rework, as most of them are pretty awful. Her dash should be reworked into a lunge or something, kind of like Demo's slash. Remove (most of) the slowdown from crouch walking, and I think she would a good killer.

    Yes she needs to have some more curves.;) But yea they nerfed her pretty bad when egc was released.

    Give her an add on that increases lunge range and perhaps one that makes the lunge a one shot down.

    Also have it so you have to find the key then go to a box instead of it being randomized.

    They already have ones for fast ambush attack, medical file and the video tape makes it almost instant.

    I think that the reverse bear traps should instantly pop when the last gen is finished. That would be interesting.

    Pig is my second most played killer and I really enjoy her. I agree she needs a little something something.

    The only two buffs I want to see for her are:

    - Crouch speed increase.

    - Traps are on a 2 minute timer (scrap tampered timer and maybe replace with a 'delay growl from charge' add-on).

    Those are just my ideal changes ^^ She is still a really good killer regardless.

    My general build for her is Ruin, Sloppy, Brutal, and Fire Up. Sometimes Thana.

    I use the add-on that increases jig saw search, and I love rule set no. 2 ^^

    If you boop the snoot you will live ♡

    Short answer: Yes.

    Slightly less short answer: Hell yes.

    im half pig half wraith main, she doesnt needs buff (in base kit)

    only thing she needs is rework add ons (throw away boring status effects and some boring trap add ons like 2% more skillchecks xd) and give some crouch speed, and you can remove 1 purple add on for sake of changing her dash sound (but i wouldnt use it anyways)

  • AllMyLemons
    AllMyLemons Member Posts: 62

    Im also using wraith as a main right now. People dont see him coming. And id like to do same as a pig thats why we need that ambush sound delayed or removed.

    And yes crouch speed add-ons please

    Maybe, maybe not. I personally don't think so. I rek the competition as miss Piggywiggy!

    Only things I'd do is make so the trap can't get off on first try and rework a lot of her addons, since most of them aren't worth using.

    She isn't a bad killer, but she really needs to be effective at slowing the game down as she lacks map pressure.

    I'd make Rule Set Number 2 a normal part of her kit with a 24 meter aura range. Then give her a bit more range on her ambush.

  • ZFennecFox

    I would remove Survivors ability to see Jigsaw boxes. Or at the very least giver her an add-on that does it.

    but you know instead of dash you can just stand up (still silent), and hit or grab someone off the gen (still pretty silent)

    and i like to roar at ppl (so at most bind delaying it to add ons)

    edit: "ppl dont see him coming" his bell takes longer than pigs charge sooo thats pretty much the same for both killers

    Pig is really good, but the issues she faces are mostly these

    • Exposed wont Trigger on a Ambush Attack for how hard they are.
    • Crouch speed and movement speed are too slow.
    • Ambush Dash Attack vocal too early making it borderline useless against good survivors.
    • Addons need Rework.

    She is fine after that.

  • Liruliniel
    Liruliniel Member Posts: 3,047

    Nope never had a issue with RBT. After putting somewhere between 100 to 300 hours into her. Going from rank 10 to 1 several times. Her Traps are good the only issue is her dash and crouch speeds. Her Addons need some love since all should affect both parts imho.

    Really I dont mind the exposed on dash or not, but just sucks that after all that set up you get nothing.
