Otz is so committed to delivering his video to us as early as possible that he starts the video halfway through the sentence. Truly a man of his craft. Respect.
Running Corrupt Intervention alongside some Hex perks is generally a risky play. Survivors will spawn near corrupted gens and spend the early game moving around the map looking for objectives so theres a good chance they'll come across the totem you're running. Awful if its a Devour Hope.
For the People and Renewal's little kink it has also used to be a thing with For the People and WGLF. WGLF's endurance effect wouldn't activate right away if you used FTP instantly. They did change that in one of the previous patches so you can instantly use For the People and give them the endurance effecet, but I just thought about how interesting it is to see FTP interacting with other perks
One of my favorite "bad" perk combos is Blood Pact+Hope. During endgame, you can run basically as fast as most killers, and faster than the rest. Unfortunately, it only really works if the Obsession is also using Hope, and you need to be coordinated so you stay within range of each other, so it doesn’t work very well in solo queue, but it's still a very funny combo.
If you have a friend try Blood Pact, Teamwork: Power of Two and Hope for an overkill, you'll be impossible to catch unless the killer is a chase killer like Nurse Blight
@@Ineedabigboi1771 Ah, I haven't played since around when they added Knight, so I didn't know there was a new perk to go even faster. Definitely gonna be trying this
@@alicetheaxolotl You absolutely should, it's so niche but fun What it does is basically when you finish healing a survivor you both gain 5% movement speed as long as you stick together. It has a big cooldown of 140 seconds though, at least it starts to count the moment it gets activated
@@griffithdasilva last time i played agains oni with no mitter orbs spawned for 0.5s and then just disapeared (i was like one month ago so mby there was a change)
Pain Res and Fearmonger are a good combo because survivors on gens won't be able to react to the hook animation and let go to stop from screaming. Also Trail Of Torment and Fearmonger since survivors on other gens won't see the gen turn yellow.
@@ramcol You can tell if someone is on the gen and abouts where they are if you are close enough. It also means that once they realize you have this combo they might let go of the gen very early to avoid the scream which is still good for you. And if the killer has Dead Man's then you'd def wanna let go, but with Fearmonger you really can't unless you do it when they pick up.
I'll second this. With Power Struggle you fall on the same side of the pallet as the killer so you'll almost always want to vault the pallet anyways. I still will choose Sprint Burst though because I prefer it.
21:27 you do in fact get the little icon in the corner that tells you when someone has procced friendly competition; when it came out and people were trying it out, solo queuers would often stick around each other because they knew they'll get something with it
Hi Otz and community! Otz talked about using Superior Anatomy in conjunction with I'm All Ears around the 10:45 mark. A third perk that you could use in conjunction with those two (and one that really catches survivors off guard) is Fire Up. It's a relatively weak perk, but that extra speed for vaulting windows can help you close the gap that much quicker, especially deep into games or ones where the gens have popped quickly (usually because you're running 3 chase perks and no slowdown).
It's upsetting to me that there are more perks that don't synergize or are horrid to sync with one another rather than perks that synergize with each other really well and make you feel like you have your own unique build that compliments itself
Actually its the opposite. There are more perks in DBD that synergize with other perks than ones that don't. In fact I don't think there is one perk in the game that doesn't have synergism with other perks, its just all a matter of building your loadout around that perk.
@@TheLethalDiva that one killer crow perk is useless asf, and that one that doesn't scare crows sucks ass too. You'd just waste your time building anything around those
@@pancakes8816 Spies is a pretty good tracking perk idk what you're talking about, you've probably never run it. Calm Spirit is decent. If you played during the Eruption meta or Pain Res+Dead Man's Switch meta you should've been running it. It's a staple in a stealth build right along with Iron Will. It's basically Distortion but for screaming perks, which there are more and more of. It's not 2018 where the only 2 screams were Doctor and Clown it counters a lot not. The new silent totems/chests is ok sometimes. I just wish you could toggle between silent/loud mid action instead of having to restart it to get the silent effect
@@pancakes8816 I love Spies from the Shadows, I run it on alot of killer actually. Especially good if the survivor is running Distortion or Off the Record since as a notification, it trumps aura concealing perks. Calm Spirit got shafted with the supposed buff (nerf) the devs gave it. But it is good with Lightweight to leave no tracks for the killer to follow. No scratch marks because of lightweight and no crows leaving or returning to clue the killer in on your location. Also killers are getting more and more perks like Face the Darkness that Calm Spirit counters.
Actually, trail of torment works kinda well with overcharge, cause overcharge slows the gen regress for first 30 seconds, so u may have more time of undetecable, and also yellow aura baits survivors into overcharges skill check
A perk combo I have absolutely fallen in love with is flashbang and saboteur, I originally found it when someone made a whole guide on using these perks in tandem on the forums, the idea is that you drop the flashbang at the base of the hook and then begin sabotaging, if timed correctly the killer is forced into a choice between swinging at the sabotaging survivor and risking a blind from the flash, or respecting the flash and letting the hook get saboed. there is usually a window after the flash goes off where the killer could hit the survivor if there fast, but most killers do not realize whats happening and miss the window as a result, and in the next patch this window might no longer exist because of the ability to run sabotage toolboxes along side a flashbang.
Another good perk combo is Sprint Burst and Blast Mine. Sprint Burst entices the Killer to kick the gen, Blast Mine makes them waste time doing so, and you make so much distance that the Killer probably won't chase you and will either waste their time hanging around that gen, or go somewhere else and let you finish your gen. And if you want to be absolutely diabolical, then throw Residual Manifest into the mix.
Not a combo, but if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend Fire Up by itself as a possibly better pick for Myers as opposed to either Bamboozle or Superior Anatomy. The already faster vaulting speed by default coupled with the little increments from Fire Up is enough most of the time, plus you get the other small benefits of Fire Up. No Way Out guarantees more value.
I completely agree with your take on Distressing. Especially with it working on the Doc. I have discovered the very worst, the most evil, the most diabolical killer build in the whole world, and I invite you to giggle in glee while using it. It all begins with Herman. Add both irri addons, along with Distressing, Unnerving presence, Thanataphobia, and Sloppy butcher. Wheels within wheels. It begins slow, but watch survivors spiral downwards ever further, as one action counters another and they are left unable to act in any way.
@@the1necromancer Absolutely. Because then Thanataphobia does its thing, and with static blast and hallucinations, they give you a map to each of them. Plus, with shock therapy they will struggle escaping. If you want to take it to truly cruel levels, add an offering to a small map so that Unnerving is never far from them.
Ill try this however my current favorite build is giving doctor the biggest terror radius with "calm" add ons and other perks that increases it. Then using starstruck. Almost the whole map is effected and with his shock you can find everyone who is exposed. Its not the best build and not sure if it would even be considered good. And if they choose not to heal it defeats the purpose but its sure a ton of fun for me right now lol
@@kinroga Everyone would be starstruck with that. I'm gonna gi e that a try tonight. The only rule I forgot to mention in my post is that you need to break every pallet that gets dropped. It hurts them more in the end and you don't lose enough ground in a chase not to.
Can we appreciate the way this video is set up for Otz himself? Not at all edited together, but split out among the killers so he can switch between talking points quickly and seemlessly, and using the build templates to demonstrate different points; and not only that, if he only has two points to make, he STARTS on build template two so that he knows to only switch to build template three instead of trying to remember how many perk combinations he wanted to talk about and potentially flipping to a build template that has nothing related to the topic. Love the effort put in to make it easier for Otz to make informative videos like this.
A little thing that I like about this video that people probably wouldn’t mention: The fact that Otz doesn’t just tell us “don’t do this” and end it there, but he also goes on with “instead, try this”. Not just criticizing a build, but providing an alternative to both help people understand what makes the bad combo bad AND what makes each perk good and their use cases
Legion build - Agitation, Awakened Awareness, Iron Grasp, Mad Grit, Etched Ruler. Second add-on can be Filthy Blade, Stylish Sunglasses, Smiley Face Pin. This build allows you to cause chaos using stealth constantly. After injuring multiple survivors you can attempt to sneak up on anyone mending. You can also carry a survivor if you manage to get a down after a group stab and sneak up on others that may be healing, mending, or hiding. This is an extremely niche but funny build. End-game usually gets the best results when survivors get desperate to save their teammates.
As a seasoned player (more than 3k hours), a video like this would have come in handy when I first started playing. With that being said, this is going to be tremendously useful information for players who are newer to killer, thanks Otz!
I know you say Distressing is bad, but back when hillbilly was fun, you would run the Muffler and shoes with distressing and Coulrophobia, and people would never know where you were coming from because your terror radius was so large it actually disguised your approach with the muffler making it hard to detect where the chainsaw was coming from. It was legit my favorite and most successful Hillbilly build.
I love the combo of penti, devour, and plaything. It can be hard countered if devours done first but when it works its pure evil because you know which hex is devour but you can hide it if they ignore or cant finish their playthings.
8:23 I must say, super underrated advice. I went to pull this off, one time, pretending like I didn’t have mad grit. And waiting after every hit and managed to down two survivors, injuring another all while carrying someone.
Distressing used to be one of my favorite perks on Spirit before her changes. Survivors within the Husk's terror radius couldn't hear her phasing sound. Made for some fun (unfair) plays lol.
Yo cracked combo: Ghostface with starstruck, agitation, iron grasp (optional) and ur choice, with add on to make downed survivors take longer to reveal you. Pop your stealth then immediately pick up a survivor. This will delay starstruck's activation and give altruistic survivors confidence, before you smack them down with Starstruck
Amazing video and superb advice otz! Unfortunately I don't have any killers except for demo and plague for non-base-game perks, so I will continue to use distressing in every build for no reason.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU for validating Thrilling Tremors! I swear by that perk in literally all of the builds I do, it's so good for info and gen slowdown...
Isn't overcharge + trail of torment is kind of a better combo? Overcharge starts the regression at 85%, meaning it's at slower rate of regression than usual, giving you slightly more time even from barely progressed gens, and then considering survivor side, gens are usually watched over by someone and as soon as you go away, they tend to touch them, especially if they know what that glowing gen thing means and want to cancel your undetectable, and so they rush in to tap the gen - but it's overcharged, making them go trough a hard skillcheck for trying to counter your perk.
I love this video, it's both interesting to watch and think about while also promotes people trying out perk combos they might not have thought about and increase perk diversity in game
I've used Darkness Revealed and Lethal Pursuer as a combo for my Dredge. It is so good! Admittedly, LP is kinda optional since you can replace it for something like BBQ or Gearhead. It's still great for the early start, though.
In my solo que games, I've been using Rookie Spirit with Blast Mine. Rookie alerts me to gen status, which ones are being focused and kicked. So I always get at least 3 blast mines per game (unless the killer is allergic to kicking gens, which does happen rarely). Also makes the killer think you're really trying to commit to a gen when you're just running distraction and punishes them for thinking they can kick a gen real quick and resume chase. I know a lot of people don't hold Rookie spirit in high regard for a couple of reasons, but I feel like people should try this combo out. It was especially useful during gen-kick meta. Additionally, you can see if the killer is attempting to create a 3-gen very easily from anywhere in the map and react accordingly. Happy Gen Trapping! :D
Glad to see this vid up! The perks are the main thing that brings me back to DBD and I've used every survivor perk. I don't play killer much, but I stay up to date and try out those when I can too. Not many people understand what does and doesn't work well together so this is a wealth of info. Especially for newer players. 😊
FtP and Renewal deserves it's own video short! that is an amazingly unknown combo, even the wiki doesn't tell you that! Always good stuff !Otz, really appreciate it
The last combo of for the people stomps me, I though it was undoable as I tried a lot of times, and then I realize it only works after healing for a bit but not instantly pressing ftp. I have told some people about this but they seems to not trust, but hey thanks for pointing out the myth otz
My favourite distressing build: caulro+distressing+sloppy+nurse's on Wesker with game offering. They have to waste an outrageous amount of time to heal, they have no idea how close you are, and you can get interrupts quite often. It's not terrible even if you get sent elsewhere, but it really shines on that map.
Thx for this Otz. You might want to check your build for stall and endgame for Sadako, the simple build for cenobite and the basic build for Freddie in light of this video and see if you change your mind about those.
Everytime i come back to DBD i cant stop myself from binging all your videos. All of your videos are so informative and since I started watching your videos my skill rating skyrocketed up to killer rank 2!
Otz have you thought about using FTP with WGLF behind to give them the endurance status effect? or if your palying with friends using it with soul guard
I think you may have missed the main problem i have with stakeout fast track: fast track is really solid to just dump a bunch of pressure into a gen in a bad situation. With stakeout, youre getting minimal percent bonuses throughout the game that dont really help near as much as they could if you get into a bad situation. 😊
Another reason I don't recommend Fast Track and Stake Out is that it takes the control of Fast Track out of your hands, like if you want to save your FT until you have more stacks and blow them all at once when you really need them. SO will just give you the great skill check anyway and you can't control whether you use your FT stacks
So that's why recently there is so many killers using Trail of Torment. I swear, that perk was non existent a week ago and now there's like 1-2 killers per day that I see using it :P Not that I mind, it's fun to see different perks being used (and that yellow gen definietly works like some kind of venus flytrap for survs). About For the People combo, I'm surprised you didn't mention pairing it up with We're Gonna Live Forever. It literally saves lives (or sometimes the whole games if for some reason killer starts to create a blood bath on almost opened exit gate and they get too confident). You can also use it to create your own meat shield (it's 2 health states you don't need to worry about having taken from you for the price of one) or prolong the suffering of tunneled survivor (I bet everyone love that feeling of having to endure more of the tunneling Spirit).
WGLF and For The Peepo work great together if the killer is protecting a slug. Also I always get good results with WGLF and Autodidact too. Just be sure to have more than 2 stacks before you start healing them lol
10:52 I miss running my Four Hex Everyone gets BP build, but Pentimento made it so people stopped doing totems, especially if you try and use Plaything instead of four individual Hexes. 13:10 I really wish I could use Monitor & Abuse but it makes me motion sick so it is off the table for me. 13:37 These two Perk are part of my build on all Killers with only a few exceptions. I mainly use Lethal Pursuer to get started chasing early and not for the extended Aura reading. Darkness Revealed is for when I can't find people and need an on-demand Aura check and yes it does suck if you get a wide map with few lockers but lockers are typically near gens so it's nice knowing what isn't being worked on at the moment. 19:27 Nightmare is my favorite "no terror radius" Killer. So many people forget about that aspect of his power. I've run into a few Distortion Gamers while playing Nightmare who were so confused in end game chat about how I kept seeing their aura. Well you weren't regaining tokens most of the match because you didn't use the alarm clocks. Thanks for the video Otz.
a niche build i like for wesker is infectious fright, bbq, distressing and some other perk that makes it easier to catch up. the reason for why i use distressing on wesker is because his terror radius is already 40 meters, so making it 50 meters either always scares survivors off gen from anywhere on the map, or they become numb to the noise and thus get affected by infectious fright, wich is even more beneficial because wesker is a very fast killer. no survivor expects a 50 meter terror radius, i've had a whole team dc because of my build. its evil on maps like dead dawg saloon or other small maps.
Lithe is also good with power struggle since it's pretty much guaranteed you can vault the pallet right after you drop off the killer, unless they have spirit fury up.
16:50 Otz: The combination of both Deliverence and Renewal means you have to wait 80s to get the renewal effect. Here's some suggestions that work much better. Me: I didn't even realize they even worked together in the first place. Guess I'm trying that out.
All I will remeber from this amazing video is that when you use For the people and Renewal, you're allowed to turn to the killer, heal up and then say "it's free real health state"
my most common loadout (as a mikey and ghosty main) is usually Discordance, tinkerer, sloppy butcher, and Rancor(sometimes no way out instead of rancor). Ive had multiple streamers try it and they all this is it just pure evil as long as you keep gen pressure going
Red Herring and Potential Energy. I was running this on the PTB with DejaVu, so I can really slam the 3 gens. You either can work on the 3 gen and get the boost, or you can work on a nearby generator, store energy, hop in a locker (usually right after a hook to distract the killer) and deposit on the 3 gen. Something extra I learned is, if you are working on a gen with someone else and activate PE right before the gen pops, you will still be storing energy when you get to your next gen. Then you can charge up PE and eventually use Red Herring on a gen with 0 progress.
Thrilling tremors with dead man’s switch seems like it shouldn’t work, but has actually been really clutch for me. Especially when paired with Gearhead. Punish for downs, then punish again quickly for hooks, then extract info and force bad decisions from people sitting on gens. Every choice a survivor makes results in value. Lots of fun on slinger!
Hey Otz, I've been a big fan of your Dead by Daylight content for a while now, and I wanted to get your thoughts on something. I've noticed that a lot of players, myself included, experience eye strain and motion sickness while playing killer. I was wondering what you think about the idea of adding an FOV slider to Dead by Daylight to help alleviate these issues for those who are affected by it. Do you think it would be a worthwhile addition to the game? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Keep up the amazing work on your channel!
Stake out + fast track also has the downside that you have to decide whether you want to heal your teammate and "waste" your fast track stacks because with stake out charged you turn a great skillcheck into a good which automatically uses up your fast track stacks.
5:48 another reason not to run trail of torment with other gen kicking perks is that it shows the entire team where a regressing gen is. this isn't necessarily as much of an issue against a strong swf on comms (cuz they'll just tell each other if a gen is regressing and someone else can go tap it). against solos if you kick a gen without trail of torment either when nobody's there to see you kick it or when you can harass the only person who saw it its entirely possible for it to fully regress without anybody realising
On the other hand, when trying to go for a win with PH's 3 perks only, I kicked a gen, waited behind a wall next to it with my ranged attack readied, and as soon as somebody came running over to the yellow gen I got a free hit. Only downside is you can waste a lot of time waiting in ambush if nobody takes the bait.
pts deja vu better together is ny favorite combo.breaks 3 gens. helps other survivors find a place to heal or avoid while in chase. gives you aura readings when teammates are down to find other gens with prigress or where allies are downed. increased gen speed. now im low rank (and solo)and it might jyst be effective down here but you can escape 60% of the time with no items and 66%+ of the time with items .
About the power struggle/sprint burst combo, in my experience lithe is also really good! you drop and stun the killer with a pallet and immediately vault it. you do waste a little time on the vault action while the killer is being stunned but at least you are guaranteed to get away unlike sprint burst when you might still be exhausted when picked up
Fun fact, when I did play, if I got the "Make Survivors Scream X amount of times" task in the archives, I would pair Distressing, Monitor and Abuse, and Infectious Fright all on Doctor. Not for effectiveness, but just to get as many screams in 1 go as I can. I actually got over 200 screams in 1 play before with this build and finished the task with 1 game. If you wanna be really nasty with the scream abuse, combine it with Dark Devotion, and you have confused survivors lol.
Love these kinds of videos. I'm a huntress main and do have something to say about darkness revealed. It's good as a distortion counter and QoL. I do a full Aura build often running BBQ, lethal, darkness, and bitter murmur. BBQ and Darkness do the same job on different maps. Rpd, the game, those maps darkness is great but you can't get much off BBQ when it comes to hits. Inverse on open maps. If you aren't playing a killer who needs to reload why even use darkness in the first place.
Avoid: Repressed Alliance + Blast Mine, if both traps are activated, there will only be a 20 second window that the killer may get stunned, which is most likely going to just turn into a chase where blast mine gets no value. Instead: if for some reason you want repressed, it pairs alright with wiretap, and since they have different activation requirements, oddly enough you can do a weird cycling of control with potential energy. so you have a decent amount of control on whether you only want to repress a gen, wiretap, or both at the same time, all of which work together, while still having room for an exhaustion perk.
Empathic Connection and Guardian (or aftercare) is really fun. You won't lose sight of the killer because of Guardian and the survivor won't lose you, since Empathic (aftercare) shows them your aura. So all they have to do is follow your lead.
Otz you forgot one thing, when you use for the people yes the perk is activated renewal, BUT you need to live 60 seconds of broken first and no one gives guarantees that you will not go to the hook right away. But even then, if you are on the hook, if you are quickly rescued and the effect of the perk remains(broken), the perk renewal will not activate and as a result you will lose one use. Ыo you need some luck so that the killer does not decide to return (so for example if this is his only way out because the killer did not find anyone).
My favorite synergies are rancor+STBFL+no way out Hex plaything+hex pentimento Lightborn+starstruck Haunted grounds+retribution+undying Superior anatomy+dissolution Merciless storm+eruption And one my personal favorites is just mixing chase perks together to quickly end 1v1's
Distressing is worth it on Wesker, though. 10 extra meters, bringing his 40 to 50. Add Agitation, it's 62 meters when carrying. Distressing, Monitor & Abuse, Infectious fright, and starstruck would make Wesker a very fun terror radius build, because you can have a 58 meter terror radius in chase, and a 62 meter terror radius when you pick up. Gog forbid you enter chase while carrying, and have a 70 meter terror radius!
12:00 i like to do a totem build that Is undying, devour, pentimento, and plaything. Sometimes i change that last one or undying with trill of the Hunt. And put with killers that already have stuff to do in his Power like wesker or pinhead.
I love unconventional perk/addon combinations, that on paper seem entirely useless, but if you think about it, could throw off a lot of players because they don't know what's going on. A few worth note are: using "The Beast" - Soot on wraith in combination with Tinkerer (Makes your terror radius keep going away and coming back regardless of whether or not your cloaked, good with one of the clapper addons) Using Grim Embrace on a stealth killer or with a stealth build - Survivors with no gens to do tend to give you a hug more often Running plaything and third seal on legion - No killer instinct? No problem! The survivors will be too discombobulated to even know where you hooked them! (Fun w/ monstrous shrine) Overwhelming Presence and dark devotion - It's just funny.
yes, running totem together is not always a good option but this Totem Build on Wraith is nuts: Pentimento, Haunted Ground, Devour Hope, Undying together with the add on "Blink" White and "Swift Hunt" White. If the totems on the start of the match are far away you can check them fast and sometimes you catch a Survivor while they want to break it. Once you got the Ball rolling you almost can’t be stopped because even if they break the first totem Haunted Ground comes into play and even if they break all your totems you can get something out of it with Pentimento.
Personally, Smash Hit and Power Struggle has contributed to exactly one (1) escape: on RPD, a Huntress went through that highly unsafe pallet by the fixed exit gate spawn and Power Struggle allowed a shoulder escape, Smash Hit allowed an escape against hatchets. However, that one (1) escape is pitted against approx. 70 total matches where either Power Struggle was never useful, Smash Hit didn’t matter (Nurse), or Smash Hit wouldn’t have made a difference (Trickster during EGC).
In last tome there is a quest that make u use BucleUp, remember, as otz says, it combos perfect with "for the people" so u just go use it and quest done ;) (if you are soloQ I saw some friends struggling to complete the quest until i said them that trick) hope it helps someone...
Also about The fast track. You don't want to always use your tokens, sometime it is better to save them for a different generator or maybe killer is around and those few bonus % are nothing because killer Has some kicking gen perk, Stake out completly negates fast track saving.
i use darkness revealed x lethal with dredge and the stone that reveals auras when you lock a locker, works pretty well but there's definitely maps where it doesn't go nearly as well
Starstruck, Agi, and Thrilling is a very sneaky combo when it comes to getting your expose off but be wary better survivors tend to hop off gens before you pick up to avoid giving away info after realizing you have it, nevertheless great video Otz :)
Just a small thing, NOED and Bloodwarden is only as good as the actions you do. If you just trigger NOED, its going to be fairly worthless. However, you could hit someone, hook them somewhere between NOED and a gate, both preferably being on opposite sides of your TR. Close enough to NOED to make them hesitate to cleanse. By the time got rid of NOED, healed up and formed a unit to go for a rescue, about 50% of the time is gone. At this point, all you have to do is down 1 person and pressure the injured unhooked person untill you notice someone trying to get close to the downed person, then hook that person(activating BW) and go after that person. They will unhook that teammate faster than they should because its presumably safe, not realizing they speed up the timer again. This has given me 3-4k's with BW being the sole killer in about 75% of the games I use this strategy. People rarely count on the killer being the one to open the gate after they just hooked someone, and even when that happens, most of the time thats a signal that the killer just wants you to leave while they camp out with NOED. Them being able to cleanse NOED throws them off to get cocky and go for a rescue.
Also, Renewal now works with Deliverance? Thats actually huge. Last time I tried that combo it didnt work at all since Renewal triggered while you were still broken and thus the heal didnt apply(like how Solidarity doesnt heal you up while broken either, unless they also changed that)
*There are more than 200 perks in DBD for both sides.* -> Sorry, this line got cut out partially when I started recording! 😅
I want the huntress to smash my face in with a hatchet repeatedly 😍
This is the first time ive seen you release a video without "hello friends this is otz..." at the start

Running Corrupt Intervention alongside some Hex perks is generally a risky play. Survivors will spawn near corrupted gens and spend the early game moving around the map looking for objectives so theres a good chance they'll come across the totem you're running. Awful if its a Devour Hope.
I noticed that as well waaay back, running corrupt with hexes felt like active sabotage
@@Pincsi01hexes are a waste of a perk slots tbh
corrupt and hexes are anti-synergy for sure. if survivors can't do gens, they're doing bones.
@@animaIpath depends on the killer. if you can defend them well, they can be amazing. they work great on skull merchant for example.
@@animaIpath I don't agree. Pentimento + Plaything is amazing against everyone except comp players and noed is carrying noobs singlehandedly.
For the People and Renewal's little kink it has also used to be a thing with For the People and WGLF. WGLF's endurance effect wouldn't activate right away if you used FTP instantly. They did change that in one of the previous patches so you can instantly use For the People and give them the endurance effecet, but I just thought about how interesting it is to see FTP interacting with other perks
FTP interacts with the new perk 'made for this' i think in hens video his friend comments his endurance tapping in every time he uses it
@@thiccnoodles6767 Does it? I was really interested to see if that did work since I didn't play the PTB
Can't wait for the 10 hour version of this😊
I got 10hrs of silence disrupted by bass-boosted fart randomly
Do you want
You also forgot to mention frosty eyes= NOED basekit, so now I can run bloodwarden and no way out.
One of my favorite "bad" perk combos is Blood Pact+Hope. During endgame, you can run basically as fast as most killers, and faster than the rest.
Unfortunately, it only really works if the Obsession is also using Hope, and you need to be coordinated so you stay within range of each other, so it doesn’t work very well in solo queue, but it's still a very funny combo.
If you have a friend try Blood Pact, Teamwork: Power of Two and Hope for an overkill, you'll be impossible to catch unless the killer is a chase killer like Nurse Blight
@@Ineedabigboi1771 Ah, I haven't played since around when they added Knight, so I didn't know there was a new perk to go even faster. Definitely gonna be trying this

What it does is basically when you finish healing a survivor you both gain 5% movement speed as long as you stick together. It has a big cooldown of 140 seconds though, at least it starts to count the moment it gets activated
@@alicetheaxolotl If you are worried about the 16m from blood pact, it might worry you about the 12m from Power of Two.
Glad Self Care and No Mither are good perk combos! Best perk combo to bring… Until it’s an Oni.
doesnt no mither remove blood which means no oni power or am i wrong
It doesn't. Oni will have orbs from the start
@@blessedfox9751It just removes blood pools, Oni's blood orbs dont count
@@griffithdasilva last time i played agains oni with no mitter orbs spawned for 0.5s and then just disapeared (i was like one month ago so mby there was a change)
@@s.b.e._9692 for survivors it just shows when blood orbs spawn. But they disappear almost instantly. Dw it’s not because of no mither
Pain Res and Fearmonger are a good combo because survivors on gens won't be able to react to the hook animation and let go to stop from screaming. Also Trail Of Torment and Fearmonger since survivors on other gens won't see the gen turn yellow.
And Dms so if they want to see dms activates
pain res screaming doesn't reveal their location though, why would they let go?
@@ramcol still gives some info if you know where others are, ie meg got hooked, dwight screamed, claudie or jake are probs saving
@@ramcol You can tell if someone is on the gen and abouts where they are if you are close enough. It also means that once they realize you have this combo they might let go of the gen very early to avoid the scream which is still good for you. And if the killer has Dead Man's then you'd def wanna let go, but with Fearmonger you really can't unless you do it when they pick up.
i love that otz is showing us how to slug properly
Survivors make funny noises when they crawl around. c:
As a distortion Object of obsession user this has helped me quite a lot.
16:27 I'd recommend Power Struggle with Lithe, much more versatile and you don't waste speed time.
I'll second this. With Power Struggle you fall on the same side of the pallet as the killer so you'll almost always want to vault the pallet anyways. I still will choose Sprint Burst though because I prefer it.
21:27 you do in fact get the little icon in the corner that tells you when someone has procced friendly competition; when it came out and people were trying it out, solo queuers would often stick around each other because they knew they'll get something with it
Hi Otz and community! Otz talked about using Superior Anatomy in conjunction with I'm All Ears around the 10:45 mark. A third perk that you could use in conjunction with those two (and one that really catches survivors off guard) is Fire Up. It's a relatively weak perk, but that extra speed for vaulting windows can help you close the gap that much quicker, especially deep into games or ones where the gens have popped quickly (usually because you're running 3 chase perks and no slowdown).
It's upsetting to me that there are more perks that don't synergize or are horrid to sync with one another rather than perks that synergize with each other really well and make you feel like you have your own unique build that compliments itself
old eruption call of brine overcharge 🥶🥶
Actually its the opposite. There are more perks in DBD that synergize with other perks than ones that don't. In fact I don't think there is one perk in the game that doesn't have synergism with other perks, its just all a matter of building your loadout around that perk.
@@TheLethalDiva that one killer crow perk is useless asf, and that one that doesn't scare crows sucks ass too. You'd just waste your time building anything around those
@@pancakes8816 Spies is a pretty good tracking perk idk what you're talking about, you've probably never run it.
Calm Spirit is decent. If you played during the Eruption meta or Pain Res+Dead Man's Switch meta you should've been running it. It's a staple in a stealth build right along with Iron Will. It's basically Distortion but for screaming perks, which there are more and more of. It's not 2018 where the only 2 screams were Doctor and Clown it counters a lot not. The new silent totems/chests is ok sometimes. I just wish you could toggle between silent/loud mid action instead of having to restart it to get the silent effect
@@pancakes8816 I love Spies from the Shadows, I run it on alot of killer actually. Especially good if the survivor is running Distortion or Off the Record since as a notification, it trumps aura concealing perks. Calm Spirit got shafted with the supposed buff (nerf) the devs gave it. But it is good with Lightweight to leave no tracks for the killer to follow. No scratch marks because of lightweight and no crows leaving or returning to clue the killer in on your location. Also killers are getting more and more perks like Face the Darkness that Calm Spirit counters.
Actually, trail of torment works kinda well with overcharge, cause overcharge slows the gen regress for first 30 seconds, so u may have more time of undetecable, and also yellow aura baits survivors into overcharges skill check
yeah and they already deactivate the perk if they touch the gen so the extra regression from the skillcheck doesnt do much
I really like the combo distortion and deliverance. I find it helps a lot ensuring that I’m never in first chase!
Yeeeeesssssss, I've been telling my teammate to run Distortion with Deli but he say that he wants the killer to see his "Aura"
A perk combo I have absolutely fallen in love with is flashbang and saboteur, I originally found it when someone made a whole guide on using these perks in tandem on the forums, the idea is that you drop the flashbang at the base of the hook and then begin sabotaging, if timed correctly the killer is forced into a choice between swinging at the sabotaging survivor and risking a blind from the flash, or respecting the flash and letting the hook get saboed. there is usually a window after the flash goes off where the killer could hit the survivor if there fast, but most killers do not realize whats happening and miss the window as a result, and in the next patch this window might no longer exist because of the ability to run sabotage toolboxes along side a flashbang.
Another good perk combo is Sprint Burst and Blast Mine. Sprint Burst entices the Killer to kick the gen, Blast Mine makes them waste time doing so, and you make so much distance that the Killer probably won't chase you and will either waste their time hanging around that gen, or go somewhere else and let you finish your gen.
And if you want to be absolutely diabolical, then throw Residual Manifest into the mix.
@the1necromancer wait residual manifest works on blast mine?? I always use blast mine so that's good to know!
Yeah I've gotten hit by that. I respected it so much I think I let that Kate go.
Not a combo, but if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend Fire Up by itself as a possibly better pick for Myers as opposed to either Bamboozle or Superior Anatomy. The already faster vaulting speed by default coupled with the little increments from Fire Up is enough most of the time, plus you get the other small benefits of Fire Up. No Way Out guarantees more value.
I'm a simple man. I see an Otz notification and i click it.
Me 2
most original comment ever
Just like me fr
Simple bot.
I'm a Jewish man, I see a penny, I pick it up.
I completely agree with your take on Distressing.
Especially with it working on the Doc.
I have discovered the very worst, the most evil, the most diabolical killer build in the whole world, and I invite you to giggle in glee while using it.
It all begins with Herman.
Add both irri addons, along with Distressing, Unnerving presence, Thanataphobia, and Sloppy butcher.
Wheels within wheels. It begins slow, but watch survivors spiral downwards ever further, as one action counters another and they are left unable to act in any way.
Is that effective even if the survivors choose to stay injured and separated?
@@the1necromancer Absolutely. Because then Thanataphobia does its thing, and with static blast and hallucinations, they give you a map to each of them.
Plus, with shock therapy they will struggle escaping.
If you want to take it to truly cruel levels, add an offering to a small map so that Unnerving is never far from them.
Ill try this however my current favorite build is giving doctor the biggest terror radius with "calm" add ons and other perks that increases it. Then using starstruck. Almost the whole map is effected and with his shock you can find everyone who is exposed.
Its not the best build and not sure if it would even be considered good. And if they choose not to heal it defeats the purpose but its sure a ton of fun for me right now lol
@@kinroga Everyone would be starstruck with that. I'm gonna gi e that a try tonight.
The only rule I forgot to mention in my post is that you need to break every pallet that gets dropped. It hurts them more in the end and you don't lose enough ground in a chase not to.
Can we appreciate the way this video is set up for Otz himself? Not at all edited together, but split out among the killers so he can switch between talking points quickly and seemlessly, and using the build templates to demonstrate different points; and not only that, if he only has two points to make, he STARTS on build template two so that he knows to only switch to build template three instead of trying to remember how many perk combinations he wanted to talk about and potentially flipping to a build template that has nothing related to the topic. Love the effort put in to make it easier for Otz to make informative videos like this.
A little thing that I like about this video that people probably wouldn’t mention: The fact that Otz doesn’t just tell us “don’t do this” and end it there, but he also goes on with “instead, try this”. Not just criticizing a build, but providing an alternative to both help people understand what makes the bad combo bad AND what makes each perk good and their use cases
Otz is really the only reason why I still play this game
Otz is my favorite CZcamsr. He's just so wholesome and VERY useful for information
Legion build - Agitation, Awakened Awareness, Iron Grasp, Mad Grit, Etched Ruler. Second add-on can be Filthy Blade, Stylish Sunglasses, Smiley Face Pin. This build allows you to cause chaos using stealth constantly. After injuring multiple survivors you can attempt to sneak up on anyone mending. You can also carry a survivor if you manage to get a down after a group stab and sneak up on others that may be healing, mending, or hiding. This is an extremely niche but funny build. End-game usually gets the best results when survivors get desperate to save their teammates.
As a seasoned player (more than 3k hours), a video like this would have come in handy when I first started playing. With that being said, this is going to be tremendously useful information for players who are newer to killer, thanks Otz!
Any of these you disagree with?
I know you say Distressing is bad, but back when hillbilly was fun, you would run the Muffler and shoes with distressing and Coulrophobia, and people would never know where you were coming from because your terror radius was so large it actually disguised your approach with the muffler making it hard to detect where the chainsaw was coming from. It was legit my favorite and most successful Hillbilly build.
I love the combo of penti, devour, and plaything. It can be hard countered if devours done first but when it works its pure evil because you know which hex is devour but you can hide it if they ignore or cant finish their playthings.
ah yes the typical cenobite setup.
@@rodriguez4809 That is very annoying on Cenobite.
Another perk combination to avoid: deliverance and gen-jockey perks. Deliverance guarantees that you are chased first which negates your gen perks
8:23 I must say, super underrated advice. I went to pull this off, one time, pretending like I didn’t have mad grit. And waiting after every hit and managed to down two survivors, injuring another all while carrying someone.
Distressing used to be one of my favorite perks on Spirit before her changes. Survivors within the Husk's terror radius couldn't hear her phasing sound. Made for some fun (unfair) plays lol.
I’m amazed at your constant ability to find new video ideas for this game, thank you for all the work you do! ❤
Yo cracked combo: Ghostface with starstruck, agitation, iron grasp (optional) and ur choice, with add on to make downed survivors take longer to reveal you. Pop your stealth then immediately pick up a survivor. This will delay starstruck's activation and give altruistic survivors confidence, before you smack them down with Starstruck
Discovering new perk synergies is super helpful to me, I'd love to see more vids like this!
Amazing video and superb advice otz! Unfortunately I don't have any killers except for demo and plague for non-base-game perks, so I will continue to use distressing in every build for no reason.
I love Otzdarva seeing Ftp+Bu combo even before the buckle up buff
The funniest thing is, Deja Vu has been a pet perk of mine for a while and seeing that validated in an Otz video does bring me enjoyment
THANK YOU, THANK YOU for validating Thrilling Tremors! I swear by that perk in literally all of the builds I do, it's so good for info and gen slowdown...
I ran a few games today with Otz's suggested combo of Superior Anatomy and I'm All Ears. It works great at the killer shack window.
Isn't overcharge + trail of torment is kind of a better combo? Overcharge starts the regression at 85%, meaning it's at slower rate of regression than usual, giving you slightly more time even from barely progressed gens, and then considering survivor side, gens are usually watched over by someone and as soon as you go away, they tend to touch them, especially if they know what that glowing gen thing means and want to cancel your undetectable, and so they rush in to tap the gen - but it's overcharged, making them go trough a hard skillcheck for trying to counter your perk.
If we had an Otzdarva for every subject, trade skill, or otherwise taught practices, society would advance extremely faster
I love this video, it's both interesting to watch and think about while also promotes people trying out perk combos they might not have thought about and increase perk diversity in game
I've used Darkness Revealed and Lethal Pursuer as a combo for my Dredge. It is so good! Admittedly, LP is kinda optional since you can replace it for something like BBQ or Gearhead. It's still great for the early start, though.
In my solo que games, I've been using Rookie Spirit with Blast Mine. Rookie alerts me to gen status, which ones are being focused and kicked. So I always get at least 3 blast mines per game (unless the killer is allergic to kicking gens, which does happen rarely). Also makes the killer think you're really trying to commit to a gen when you're just running distraction and punishes them for thinking they can kick a gen real quick and resume chase. I know a lot of people don't hold Rookie spirit in high regard for a couple of reasons, but I feel like people should try this combo out.
It was especially useful during gen-kick meta. Additionally, you can see if the killer is attempting to create a 3-gen very easily from anywhere in the map and react accordingly.
Happy Gen Trapping! :D
You have intrigued me 😂
Glad to see this vid up! The perks are the main thing that brings me back to DBD and I've used every survivor perk. I don't play killer much, but I stay up to date and try out those when I can too. Not many people understand what does and doesn't work well together so this is a wealth of info. Especially for newer players. 😊
FtP and Renewal deserves it's own video short! that is an amazingly unknown combo, even the wiki doesn't tell you that! Always good stuff !Otz, really appreciate it
The last combo of for the people stomps me, I though it was undoable as I tried a lot of times, and then I realize it only works after healing for a bit but not instantly pressing ftp. I have told some people about this but they seems to not trust, but hey thanks for pointing out the myth otz
Wow I didn't know about the interactions with renewal and deliverance/ftp, awesome vid!
My favourite distressing build:
caulro+distressing+sloppy+nurse's on Wesker with game offering. They have to waste an outrageous amount of time to heal, they have no idea how close you are, and you can get interrupts quite often. It's not terrible even if you get sent elsewhere, but it really shines on that map.
This is so evil 😂
Thx for this Otz. You might want to check your build for stall and endgame for Sadako, the simple build for cenobite and the basic build for Freddie in light of this video and see if you change your mind about those.
I'm laughing so hard how right at the end he fumbles with saying Hattrick and "It's free real estate" back to back.
Everytime i come back to DBD i cant stop myself from binging all your videos. All of your videos are so informative and since I started watching your videos my skill rating skyrocketed up to killer rank 2!
Otz have you thought about using FTP with WGLF behind to give them the endurance status effect? or if your palying with friends using it with soul guard
You could just use buckle up instead so that both of you get endurance
I think you may have missed the main problem i have with stakeout fast track: fast track is really solid to just dump a bunch of pressure into a gen in a bad situation. With stakeout, youre getting minimal percent bonuses throughout the game that dont really help near as much as they could if you get into a bad situation. 😊
Another reason I don't recommend Fast Track and Stake Out is that it takes the control of Fast Track out of your hands, like if you want to save your FT until you have more stacks and blow them all at once when you really need them. SO will just give you the great skill check anyway and you can't control whether you use your FT stacks
So that's why recently there is so many killers using Trail of Torment. I swear, that perk was non existent a week ago and now there's like 1-2 killers per day that I see using it :P Not that I mind, it's fun to see different perks being used (and that yellow gen definietly works like some kind of venus flytrap for survs).
About For the People combo, I'm surprised you didn't mention pairing it up with We're Gonna Live Forever. It literally saves lives (or sometimes the whole games if for some reason killer starts to create a blood bath on almost opened exit gate and they get too confident). You can also use it to create your own meat shield (it's 2 health states you don't need to worry about having taken from you for the price of one) or prolong the suffering of tunneled survivor (I bet everyone love that feeling of having to endure more of the tunneling Spirit).
WGLF and For The Peepo work great together if the killer is protecting a slug. Also I always get good results with WGLF and Autodidact too. Just be sure to have more than 2 stacks before you start healing them lol
10:52 I miss running my Four Hex Everyone gets BP build, but Pentimento made it so people stopped doing totems, especially if you try and use Plaything instead of four individual Hexes.
13:10 I really wish I could use Monitor & Abuse but it makes me motion sick so it is off the table for me.
13:37 These two Perk are part of my build on all Killers with only a few exceptions. I mainly use Lethal Pursuer to get started chasing early and not for the extended Aura reading. Darkness Revealed is for when I can't find people and need an on-demand Aura check and yes it does suck if you get a wide map with few lockers but lockers are typically near gens so it's nice knowing what isn't being worked on at the moment.
19:27 Nightmare is my favorite "no terror radius" Killer. So many people forget about that aspect of his power. I've run into a few Distortion Gamers while playing Nightmare who were so confused in end game chat about how I kept seeing their aura. Well you weren't regaining tokens most of the match because you didn't use the alarm clocks.
Thanks for the video Otz.
a niche build i like for wesker is infectious fright, bbq, distressing and some other perk that makes it easier to catch up. the reason for why i use distressing on wesker is because his terror radius is already 40 meters, so making it 50 meters either always scares survivors off gen from anywhere on the map, or they become numb to the noise and thus get affected by infectious fright, wich is even more beneficial because wesker is a very fast killer. no survivor expects a 50 meter terror radius, i've had a whole team dc because of my build. its evil on maps like dead dawg saloon or other small maps.
Lithe is also good with power struggle since it's pretty much guaranteed you can vault the pallet right after you drop off the killer, unless they have spirit fury up.
16:50 Otz: The combination of both Deliverence and Renewal means you have to wait 80s to get the renewal effect. Here's some suggestions that work much better.
Me: I didn't even realize they even worked together in the first place. Guess I'm trying that out.
Currently im taking a break from dbd to play some evil dead but I think I might come back soon cause I’m hyped for the new killer
All I will remeber from this amazing video is that when you use For the people and Renewal, you're allowed to turn to the killer, heal up and then say "it's free real health state"
24:17 *whispers* "It's free heal estate."
my most common loadout (as a mikey and ghosty main) is usually Discordance, tinkerer, sloppy butcher, and Rancor(sometimes no way out instead of rancor). Ive had multiple streamers try it and they all this is it just pure evil as long as you keep gen pressure going
Red Herring and Potential Energy. I was running this on the PTB with DejaVu, so I can really slam the 3 gens. You either can work on the 3 gen and get the boost, or you can work on a nearby generator, store energy, hop in a locker (usually right after a hook to distract the killer) and deposit on the 3 gen.
Something extra I learned is, if you are working on a gen with someone else and activate PE right before the gen pops, you will still be storing energy when you get to your next gen. Then you can charge up PE and eventually use Red Herring on a gen with 0 progress.
Thrilling tremors with dead man’s switch seems like it shouldn’t work, but has actually been really clutch for me. Especially when paired with Gearhead.
Punish for downs, then punish again quickly for hooks, then extract info and force bad decisions from people sitting on gens. Every choice a survivor makes results in value.
Lots of fun on slinger!
Hey Otz, I've been a big fan of your Dead by Daylight content for a while now, and I wanted to get your thoughts on something. I've noticed that a lot of players, myself included, experience eye strain and motion sickness while playing killer. I was wondering what you think about the idea of adding an FOV slider to Dead by Daylight to help alleviate these issues for those who are affected by it. Do you think it would be a worthwhile addition to the game? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Keep up the amazing work on your channel!
Stake out + fast track also has the downside that you have to decide whether you want to heal your teammate and "waste" your fast track stacks because with stake out charged you turn a great skillcheck into a good which automatically uses up your fast track stacks.
5:48 another reason not to run trail of torment with other gen kicking perks is that it shows the entire team where a regressing gen is. this isn't necessarily as much of an issue against a strong swf on comms (cuz they'll just tell each other if a gen is regressing and someone else can go tap it).
against solos if you kick a gen without trail of torment either when nobody's there to see you kick it or when you can harass the only person who saw it its entirely possible for it to fully regress without anybody realising
On the other hand, when trying to go for a win with PH's 3 perks only, I kicked a gen, waited behind a wall next to it with my ranged attack readied, and as soon as somebody came running over to the yellow gen I got a free hit. Only downside is you can waste a lot of time waiting in ambush if nobody takes the bait.
pts deja vu better together is ny favorite combo.breaks 3 gens. helps other survivors find a place to heal or avoid while in chase. gives you aura readings when teammates are down to find other gens with prigress or where allies are downed. increased gen speed. now im low rank (and solo)and it might jyst be effective down here but you can escape 60% of the time with no items and 66%+ of the time with items .
About the power struggle/sprint burst combo, in my experience lithe is also really good! you drop and stun the killer with a pallet and immediately vault it. you do waste a little time on the vault action while the killer is being stunned but at least you are guaranteed to get away unlike sprint burst when you might still be exhausted when picked up
Fun fact, when I did play, if I got the "Make Survivors Scream X amount of times" task in the archives, I would pair Distressing, Monitor and Abuse, and Infectious Fright all on Doctor. Not for effectiveness, but just to get as many screams in 1 go as I can. I actually got over 200 screams in 1 play before with this build and finished the task with 1 game. If you wanna be really nasty with the scream abuse, combine it with Dark Devotion, and you have confused survivors lol.
23:21 never in my life did I think I would see the day that otz recommends buckle up
Love these kinds of videos. I'm a huntress main and do have something to say about darkness revealed. It's good as a distortion counter and QoL. I do a full Aura build often running BBQ, lethal, darkness, and bitter murmur. BBQ and Darkness do the same job on different maps. Rpd, the game, those maps darkness is great but you can't get much off BBQ when it comes to hits. Inverse on open maps.
If you aren't playing a killer who needs to reload why even use darkness in the first place.
Avoid: Repressed Alliance + Blast Mine, if both traps are activated, there will only be a 20 second window that the killer may get stunned, which is most likely going to just turn into a chase where blast mine gets no value.
Instead: if for some reason you want repressed, it pairs alright with wiretap, and since they have different activation requirements, oddly enough you can do a weird cycling of control with potential energy. so you have a decent amount of control on whether you only want to repress a gen, wiretap, or both at the same time, all of which work together, while still having room for an exhaustion perk.
Empathic Connection and Guardian (or aftercare) is really fun. You won't lose sight of the killer because of Guardian and the survivor won't lose you, since Empathic (aftercare) shows them your aura. So all they have to do is follow your lead.
Otz you forgot one thing, when you use for the people yes the perk is activated renewal, BUT you need to live 60 seconds of broken first and no one gives guarantees that you will not go to the hook right away. But even then, if you are on the hook, if you are quickly rescued and the effect of the perk remains(broken), the perk renewal will not activate and as a result you will lose one use. Ыo you need some luck so that the killer does not decide to return (so for example if this is his only way out because the killer did not find anyone).
This video was suprisingly very insightful. Thanks Otz!
My favorite synergies are
rancor+STBFL+no way out
Hex plaything+hex pentimento
Lightborn+starstruck
Haunted grounds+retribution+undying
Superior anatomy+dissolution
Merciless storm+eruption
And one my personal favorites is just mixing chase perks together to quickly end 1v1's
Me: Haven't played DbD in over 2 years.
Also me: Holy shit, new tips and tricks from Otz.
Thanks for another really great video on perks! I keep coming back to your videos Otz and it helped me improve my gameplay so much 😊
Distressing is worth it on Wesker, though. 10 extra meters, bringing his 40 to 50.
Add Agitation, it's 62 meters when carrying.
Distressing, Monitor & Abuse, Infectious fright, and starstruck would make Wesker a very fun terror radius build, because you can have a 58 meter terror radius in chase, and a 62 meter terror radius when you pick up. Gog forbid you enter chase while carrying, and have a 70 meter terror radius!
12:00 i like to do a totem build that Is undying, devour, pentimento, and plaything. Sometimes i change that last one or undying with trill of the Hunt. And put with killers that already have stuff to do in his Power like wesker or pinhead.
I love unconventional perk/addon combinations, that on paper seem entirely useless, but if you think about it, could throw off a lot of players because they don't know what's going on.
A few worth note are:
using "The Beast" - Soot on wraith in combination with Tinkerer (Makes your terror radius keep going away and coming back regardless of whether or not your cloaked, good with one of the clapper addons)
Using Grim Embrace on a stealth killer or with a stealth build - Survivors with no gens to do tend to give you a hug more often
Running plaything and third seal on legion - No killer instinct? No problem! The survivors will be too discombobulated to even know where you hooked them! (Fun w/ monstrous shrine)
Overwhelming Presence and dark devotion - It's just funny.
yes, running totem together is not always a good option but this Totem Build on Wraith is nuts: Pentimento, Haunted Ground, Devour Hope, Undying together with the add on "Blink" White and "Swift Hunt" White. If the totems on the start of the match are far away you can check them fast and sometimes you catch a Survivor while they want to break it. Once you got the Ball rolling you almost can’t be stopped because even if they break the first totem Haunted Ground comes into play and even if they break all your totems you can get something out of it with Pentimento.
This video has been the manifestation of the ‚you‘ll kick yourself when i tell you‘-feeling for 25min straight :D
Personally, Smash Hit and Power Struggle has contributed to exactly one (1) escape: on RPD, a Huntress went through that highly unsafe pallet by the fixed exit gate spawn and Power Struggle allowed a shoulder escape, Smash Hit allowed an escape against hatchets. However, that one (1) escape is pitted against approx. 70 total matches where either Power Struggle was never useful, Smash Hit didn’t matter (Nurse), or Smash Hit wouldn’t have made a difference (Trickster during EGC).
Never actually thought you would say a *bad* combo 😮
wow the last one, for the people and renewal, seems a really cool idea :D
A couple of the survivor perk suggestions seem geared toward SoloQ - SWFs can take full advantage of some of these in ways solo survivors can't.
In last tome there is a quest that make u use BucleUp, remember, as otz says, it combos perfect with "for the people" so u just go use it and quest done ;) (if you are soloQ I saw some friends struggling to complete the quest until i said them that trick) hope it helps someone...
I Actually suggest lethal and darkness revealed with wooden fox on huntress. Helps catch survivors of guard
Also about The fast track. You don't want to always use your tokens, sometime it is better to save them for a different generator or maybe killer is around and those few bonus % are nothing because killer Has some kicking gen perk, Stake out completly negates fast track saving.
i use darkness revealed x lethal with dredge and the stone that reveals auras when you lock a locker, works pretty well but there's definitely maps where it doesn't go nearly as well
Wow I'm here real early, back when I played DBD you taught me everything I knew Otz. Still love watching your videos though, keep up the great work!
Starstruck, Agi, and Thrilling is a very sneaky combo when it comes to getting your expose off but be wary better survivors tend to hop off gens before you pick up to avoid giving away info after realizing you have it, nevertheless great video Otz :)
Just a small thing, NOED and Bloodwarden is only as good as the actions you do. If you just trigger NOED, its going to be fairly worthless. However, you could hit someone, hook them somewhere between NOED and a gate, both preferably being on opposite sides of your TR. Close enough to NOED to make them hesitate to cleanse.
By the time got rid of NOED, healed up and formed a unit to go for a rescue, about 50% of the time is gone. At this point, all you have to do is down 1 person and pressure the injured unhooked person untill you notice someone trying to get close to the downed person, then hook that person(activating BW) and go after that person. They will unhook that teammate faster than they should because its presumably safe, not realizing they speed up the timer again.
This has given me 3-4k's with BW being the sole killer in about 75% of the games I use this strategy. People rarely count on the killer being the one to open the gate after they just hooked someone, and even when that happens, most of the time thats a signal that the killer just wants you to leave while they camp out with NOED. Them being able to cleanse NOED throws them off to get cocky and go for a rescue.
Also, Renewal now works with Deliverance? Thats actually huge. Last time I tried that combo it didnt work at all since Renewal triggered while you were still broken and thus the heal didnt apply(like how Solidarity doesnt heal you up while broken either, unless they also changed that)
Thanks! i really like the Guardian + We'll make it combo, i'm a big We'll Make It fan!
