The Slasher (Patch 10.0.0) Launch Build

Houndmaster Hunter (Dog Build)

The Lithe Highway (Shane + Lithe Chase)
A chase build that stacks every fast-vault Haste perk in the game. Lithe gives 150% speed for 3 seconds after a fast vault, Wide Open Throttle adds 10/12.5/15% Haste for 3 seconds after a fast vault - both trigger off the same vault and stack. Finesse adds another 5% Haste for 5 seconds on a missed attack, with no Exhausted penalty. Boon: Exponential doubles the healing rate of any totem you bless in a 16m range. Pure chase extension with a hidden heal backup.
The Wallhacks Key Build
Aura-reading build that pairs perfectly with a Key add-on for information dominance and self-unhook potential.
The Meta Squeeze (Otzdarva Generic)
The bread-and-butter build recommended by Otzdarva that works on almost every Killer in the roster. Locks the three outermost gens, punishes healing, and breaks pallets fast.
The Regression Quartet
Pure generator destruction - four regression perks that turn every chase, hook, and downtime into lost Survivor progress.
Aura & Info Tracker
Information overload build - see Survivors, generators, and totem locations to maintain constant map pressure.
Doctor Static Build
Doctor-specific build that amplifies his shock therapy with skill-check denial and healing slowdown.
Wesker Tempo (Aggressive Map Control)
Wesker-specific build that opens strong, maintains pressure on the gens, and uses the Starvation Meter for info.
Nurse Aura Predator
Nurse-specific build that capitalizes on her mobility to chain chases and constantly be where Survivors aren't.
Pig Trap Watchdog
Pig-specific build that defends generators from being tapped, punishes the over-eager, and stacks with Reverse Bear Traps.
The Altruist
The classic save-the-team build: see the Killer, tank the unhook, and heal up fast.
Aura-Reading Awareness
Constant map awareness: see Survivors, the Killer, and auras through walls.
Self-Heal Solo

Anti-Tunnel Divert
Make the Killer regret tunneling you.
