I thought it might be fun to drop our favorite killers and at least one tip for going against them.

For me my favorite is Huntress, and my tip is simply never wait for Huntress directly at a pallet. Its very easy for her to get hits if you drop the pallet or run off of it, so its never safe to wait directly in front of it. Thats where most of my ‘free’ hits happen.

I’ll also add a second one for hag, against hag its vital to leave loops she traps, but also if you have teammates in comms you can have them wipe away that trap while you’re in chase. This will result in the hag having a long chase, and not building up traps for later in the game either

    Countering Plague is not as simple as “don’t cleanse.” Unless your entire squad are god-like loopers who can play the whole game injured without going down, you should absolutely cleanse against Plague. Some of my easiest Plague games have been against teams that don’t cleanse. Just know where and when to do it.

    Try to cleanse at fountains on the edges of the map or in areas where gens are already done. You want to make Plague have to go out of her way to get her power (swamp is brutal against Plague because her fountains can spawn on the very edge of the map). Don’t cleanse if there’s a high risk you’ll be infected again right away (ie. stop cleansing before unhooking your fully infected teammate). And if you’re entire team is cleansing back-to-back, you should too, as fast as possible. If you have a chance to force Plague’s power onto her, you should. Not only are you denying her more potential uses of her power, but you’re likely forcing onto her at an inopportune time.

    For Singularity, the EMP charge timer is longer than the recharge and teleport timer after he goos you with a camera. As soon as you get goo’d break LoS with the camera immediately before you EMP. Also, there’s a good chance he’s just gonna walk over there, so maybe ditch the area.

    During chase, if you’re goo’d he can teleport to you by just shooting you, so make sure to break LoS as often as possible. He can still teleport from cameras, so be careful of that.

    And the biggest mistake I see: hux can still just smack you. So many times people will have an EMP and feel invincible, but I just loop them like any M1 killer and get the down. Don’t get so distracted by the unique mechanics that you lose sight of basic killer ability

    If there are 2 lockers side by side only lock 1. The game always forces dredge into the locked one. If you lock both; he tps to a locked locker, bursts out, destroys the lock on the second. From then on he’s free to TP here. If you lock 1; he bursts out, has no other lock to break, you lock the second locker and then when he comes back he hits a locked locker for a second time which wastes more of his time.

    You’re probably not gonna win loops when he drops the remnant mid chase, just W away amd force him to stop channelling
