Fun Survivor Builds To Run After Midchapter (Non-meta List)

Hello Fellow players in the fog. I was bored, so I decided to write down all the builds I want to run after this next Midchapter. As a person who plays both sides, but especially enjoys playing survivor (soloq), I was super excited with them shaking up the Meta.

Now that I don't have to run BT in all my builds, I feel more free to be able to try out the fun combos I couldn't do before. There's a lot of them I want to try, hence why I am excited for this patch and hope that other survivors will also run more fun builds.

It's a pretty extensive list, but I think the builds that I will run the most will be the End Game Build and the Everyone Healing Build. I love going for end game unhooks and getting autodidact value.

Let me know what builds you might try or what other builds you are excited for! Killer builds are also welcome:)
