The build

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

Why it works

Doctor's Shock Therapy attack already creates loud noise and inflicts Madness. With Overcharge, every kicked generator becomes a dangerous skill check - paired with Shock Therapy's madness-induced skill check failure screams, Survivors miss reps constantly. Call of Brine adds 50% more regression to kicked gens. Surge triggers when you break a Survivor with your basic attack: any generator within 32 meters instantly loses 8% progress, which combines beautifully with Doctor's fast shock-break. Sloppy Butcher adds the cherry on top: healing after a Shock is 20% slower and regresses when interrupted, so Madness survivors stay injured. This is one of the most skill-check-heavy builds in the game.
