The build

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

Why it works

Nurse's Blink lets her cross the map in seconds - Lethal Pursuer tells her exactly where Survivors are at the start. Barbecue & Chili reveals auras of Survivors far from the hook, letting her pick the next target instantly. Scourge Hook: Pain Regression adds slowdown for every hook on a Scourge Hook, and the Scourge Hooks spawn at the start of the trial. Hex: Undying protects a smaller hex or acts as a fifth slowdown. The build assumes the player can chain Blinks; without Nurse skill, it falls apart. With skill, the info + mobility combo makes Survivors constantly feel hunted.
