The build

These four perks work together as a anti-heal killer setup. Each slot has a job; together they form a closed loop.

Why it works

Plague's power naturally spreads sickness, and she can Corrupt Purge to instantly down healthy Survivors. Sloppy Butcher makes healing 20% slower and causes regression when interrupted - paired with Vomit hits, Survivors stay injured for ages. Franklin's Demise forces dropped items to slowly drain over 4 seconds; medkits and toolboxes become traps. Thanatophobia makes all action speeds (repair, heal, sabotage, search) slower based on the number of injured/dying/hooked Survivors. Corrupt Intervention opens the trial. The whole build forces Survivors to either purge sickness (giving Plague a free exposed-state one-shot) or stay broken and weak.
