How to use these builds

Builds 1, 4 and 5 are for public matches: more relaxed games to have fun, practise and learn.

Build 2 is for tournaments: a general competitive recommendation. Check each tournament’s bans before using it.

Build 3 is for new players: it uses the killer’s own perks, perks from the five free killers or general perks, without needing every killer at prestige 3.

Gameplay tips
Simple opener: Corrupt Intervention plus infecting the four free generators, so they're forced to infect themselves and stay injured while repairing.
Always injure by infecting: they get no distance (no speed burst) and you don't slow down; use it against body blocks too by hitting them with the vile purge.
Only pick up Corrupt Purge (the red power) when you know where survivors are; otherwise you burn the whole power and probably the match.
