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
Listen and read the environment: turn the sound up a little and watch the scratch marks and the moving grass to know where they're going.
Force them to drop the pallet before you use your power: if you phase with the pallet still up they hear you and stun you; once it's down, landing the hit is far easier.
At filler pallets use short phases: for the first second and a half the survivor can't hear which way you're coming from.
