Why it works

Pig's power is the Reverse Bear Trap: survivors must search Jigsaw Boxes to remove them. Surveillance makes any generator that's been regressing show a white aura for 16 seconds when a Survivor starts repairing it - you can patrol the gens. Dead Man's Switch blocks Survivors from continuing repair for 4 seconds and reveals their auras. Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance adds the regression backbone. Corrupt Intervention opens the trial. Combined with Pig's crouch-stalk, this is a passive-pressure build that punishes split-repair and rewards map knowledge.
