Can anybody recommend me some good builds for Clown? Going to start playing him for his new Elephant skin and I want to know some good builds for him.

    Good or not but I use Ruin, BBQ, Nurses, Discordance and throw in a couple of evil addons to go with it.

    I've been wanting to try the PWYD + Nemesis combo and see how that works with his bottles; slower survivors and a faster clown, doesn't sound bad, but I haven't tested it yet.

    Nemesis, PWYF, Pop, NOED/Monitor and Abuse/Surveillance with Pinky Finger and extra bottles add-ons. This is the only build that makes Clown not complete garbage.

    Nemesis, pwyf, m&a, either slow down or tracking whichever you prefer. This only works with pinky finger so if you dont have one then forget it. Also play a few games to get used to bottle throws. They are weird sometimes.

    Otherwise, i use bbq, bitter murmer/rancor/whispers/nurses, pop/thrilling tremers, m&a. I have problems finding people so i like tracking perks lol. Exhaustion bottles are good with m&a also.

    My favorite clown build is brutal strength, Bamboozle, save the best for last and bbq, with faster reload and exhaustion addons. I really enjoy chases and that build helps you pound someone down fast and get on to the next one faster

    Idk about builds but I just found a nasty nasty add on combo last night using garish makeup kit and the other purple bottle that makes the duration last considerably longer. Those two paired together legit make the person intoxicated for like 7 seconds it’s insane

    STBFL, Enduring, Spirit Fury and Bamboozle.

    Anti chase Clown.

    Exhaustion add on, any other add on.

    Hey, the most viable build for him is Brutal, Ruin, Pop and Save the best for last/sloppy. Now with the new ruin I will be testing but this is the one that got me the best results with base clown after using basically every single perk combo (I have him p3 and all the perks except oni's)

    Not great considering that even with all that chase perks he will still not end chases fast and gens will pop

    Corrupt Intervention + Dying Light + Coulrophobia + Thanatophobia is my current build right now.


    I change it up from time to time; Clown is pretty much not perk-reliant, and can use really anything.

    If you do that i would highly recommend his add on that lets you one hit down if you direct hit with a bottle and possibly run Make Your Choice. This way you will get more out of your PWYF stacks because everytime you attack you lose a stack so being able to one hit down people is a huge plus.

    I don't play much clown but wouldn't exposed perks work well with him?

    Like Haunted ground or make your choise?

    With how a good clown can shut off loops that one hit should be easy to get right?

    Why are people using play with your food and nemesis on non-instadown killers? That is trash, and will take way too long to build stacks against good survivors just to have to waste them all for a single down.

    I always do brutal + bamboozle + ruin + pop. Brutal and bamboozle are the only chase perks you need, brutal because people will be forced to feed you pallets if you are landing bottle tosses or zoning correctly with bottles, and bamboozle to shut down any problematic windows and turn almost every jungle gym unsafe.

    Ruin and pop are just meta, and clown needs the extra power. I will swap ruin for corrupt every now and then though.

    He's good in chases but has poor map pressure so try to bandaid that rather than buffing his chase ability which is fine.

    Ruin....err corrupt is good for early game. Stops survivors having a headstart and also shrinks the map giving him more pressure.

    PGTW is a life saver in later game.S

    Discordance lets you know which gens are being "rushed" so to speak

    sloppy buys you more time and slows the survivors down a bit helping pressure.

    STBFL is good and can really shorten chases but just shortening chases doesn't always work on the larger maps. You want perks that will slow them down more and offer more map control.
