    On Pig - Make your Choice, Nemesis, Furtive Chase, Monitor & Abuse

    This isn't a good build, but it was useful for learning loops - Open Handed, Windows of Opportunity, Bond, Quick and Quiet

    I like farming WGLF with No mither. It must be meta.

    Iron Will + Quick&Quiet + Inner Strengh + Lucky Break = easy heal during chase and saving lucky break timer a lot more

    Iron Will + Kindred + Bond + Open Handed = abusing the aura reading even if Kindred and Bond is too much ahah

    Iron Will + Stake Out + Better Together + Prove Thyself (will not use it anymore when the Ruin change come live coz i don't want to be that girl gen rushing the poor killers)

    I used to be an Ace main so Iron Will wasn't necessary but now as a Yui main i can't stand her high pitch grunting sounds ahah

    I love a Pebble, and I've had some Endgames that turned out really well due to my Autodidact when the killer went on a slugfest. The absurd amount of Ghostface games have kinda ruined the Pebble though.

    I've had extreme success with my bubba build. Its:


    I'm all ears

    Dark devotion

    Play with your food

    Nemesis.

    The plan is to gain stacks on your obsession. Dont find the obsession first? Make one with nemesis.

    Apply dark devotion. And move around the map with zero terror radius and at 125% movement speed.

    Find a survivor out of position and chainsaw them. This build rekindled my love for this game. And it's hilarious the amount of salt it generates. There are so many synergies around it its amazing. However you still need to sweat a lil vs swf that do gens.

    Tenacity, Unbreakable, Filp-Flop, Boil Over.

    For killer (I use this basically all the time on 80% of my killers): Bloodhound, Unrelenting, Sloppy Butcher, Fire Up/Discordance (these two I interchange).


    For Survivor (I hardly stray from my current build but when I want to switch things up I'll use): Solidarity, Quick and Quiet, Lightweight, Alert.


    Not sure if any of those are considered meta. lol Guess it depends on who I'd be asking.

  • xGREENCATx
    xGREENCATx Member Posts: 431

    quick and quiet

    dance with me

    head on

    inner strength

    such a fun build lol it’s worked surprisingly well

  • AhoyWolf
    AhoyWolf Member Posts: 4,389

    I call it the toxic kobe build

    Slippery Meat, Break Down, Up the Ante, Decisive Strike, can't forget the Flashlight and some luck offerings of course, if you kobe click as much as you can if the Killer is near. :)

  • USELESS
    USELESS Member Posts: 1,151

    Doctor: Huntress luluby, distressing, overcharge and ruin

    Trapper: Remember me(because of double gate protection(Traps+higher time)), ruin, BBQ and chili and overcharge

  • Jigsaw_pprentice1993
    Jigsaw_pprentice1993 Member Posts: 225

    For killer

    make your choice to get that instadown if it works priceless

    agitation to get that basement hook going helps also with make your choice

    sloppy butcher to let survivors waste a bit of time healing

    and nurses calling believe it or not a lot of MYC. Victems will start healing the survivor that got unhooked by them making a ez double down in most cases

  • TragicSolitude
    TragicSolitude Member, Alpha Surveyor Posts: 7,410

    Beast of Prey, Distressing, BBQ, and Whispers.

    As survivor, I dunno, my build changes constantly depending on my mood.

  • Pepsidot
    Pepsidot Member Posts: 1,662

    I don't really play without meta perks. I pretty much always have DS and BT equipped, but I often change the last 2 perks up a bit.

    At the moment I really like running these builds (with DS and BT) Plunderer's Instinct, Ace In the hole

    OR Head On, Q&Q OR Resilience, Spine chill.

    But yeah... not the most off meta perks.

  • Todgeweiht
    Todgeweiht Member Posts: 3,666

    I personally love anything thats anti loop, it makes me feel powerful, so:

    Fire up + Bamboozle/Brutal strenght + enduring/nemesis +PWYF

    Fire up is one of my personal favorite perks, I feel its underrated, with 3 generators done you are already cutting loops like butter

  • JohnNorwich19623

    Survivors(Whom I always play as) =Empathy,Mettle of Man,Iron Will,Self Care

    Hi,

    I'm grinding like hell to get all perks on all characters, and for me, my Survivor build is:

    WGLF (for the 100% potential BPs)

    Prove Thyself (to max Objective category super quick)

    Small Game (for those sweet +1k Boldness per totem)

    Empathy (to help get those altruism points from heals)

    Good luck!

    Build I always run on Tapp: Detective's Hunch, Kindred, Inner Strength, and Quick n Quiet or Spine Chill. My healing build is Empathy, Botany, Inner Strength, and Resilence. Thanks to dedicated servers I have been running resilience and spine chill more often for that split second vault I need not to get hit 2 feet from a window.

  • calzi
    calzi Member Posts: 2

    For games where I want to get items, I do [Pharmacy, Ace in the Hole, Plunderer's Instinct, and Adrenaline (or any other exhaustion perk)]

    But then normal games, I prefer [Balanced Landing, We'll Make It, Deliverance, and We're Gonna Live Forever]

    Survivor: Botany knowledge, Any means necessary, Iron will (I think this is a meta perk), Spine chill.

    Item: Med-kit with 1 charge and 1 speed add-on for item effiency by botany knowledge for self-healing and increased speed for healing others without med-kit.

    Insidious+Noed+Agitation+Iron Grasp/Monstrous Shrine.

    Well, not hard to guess which of killer this build for)

    Also Deerstalker+Knock Out+Infectious Fright is funny. None expect sluggame and can be difficult to find lying survs.

    As Ghostface: Nemesis, Rancor, Furtive Chase and Dark Devotion. Sometimes I switch Furtive or DD for Corrupt Intervention or PGTW.

    As Hag: Dark Devotion, STBFL, Corrupt Intervention and M&A

    I’ve had a couple memorable games with autodidact where we were getting destroyed early. But I got 5 tokens really early also and kept getting skill checks. Made some huge comebacks. Felt like Batman.

  • Chmurkaz

    I'm addicted to aftercare + we'll make it, also using spine chill and dead hard but thats not anything interesing.

  • LapisInfernalis
    LapisInfernalis Member Posts: 4,218

    For Survivor I have a few ones, depending on playstyle.

    1) Spine Chill, Resilience, Iron Will, Exhaustion Perk/Q&Q for those who get chased a lot or stay injured.

    2) Spine Chill, Stake out, Urban Evasion, Iron Will for the stealthy Gen Jockeys.

    3) Lithe, Q&Q, Dance With Me, Iron Will/Lightweight for the ultimate Houdini Build. Best on Lèry's.


    For killer I have only two:

    Doc: M&A, Corrupt, PGTW, Dark Devotion with both the Calm add-ons for Ninja Doc. Is really fun but requires an indoor map.

    Myers: Whispers, PWYF, Nemesis, Pop with Judith's Jurnal and J. Myers Memorial gives the best stalk from the obsession.

  • AsheruSwiftwind
    AsheruSwiftwind Member Posts: 156

    Survivor I love to run: Inner Strength, Calm Spirit, We will make it, Borrowed Time.


    Killers I run a lot of non aura perks to challenge myself to get better at finding players like my Huntress build: Franklin's, Overcharge, Iron Maiden, Bloodhound

    It use to be Small Game cause I found Ruin so fast but now that Ruin is getting nerfed, there is no point of bringing it unless I expect going against Trapper or hag
