The build

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

Why it works

Oppression activates after hooking a Survivor: you can immediately kick up to 3 generators, regressing each by a small amount and forcing a difficult skill check. Call of Brine adds 50% more regression to the kicked gen and reveals the Survivor's aura for 4 seconds. Overcharge punishes Survivors who try to tap a gen you kicked - they get a skill check and the gen blocks if they fail, freezing them in place. Eruption closes the loop by exploding any gen a Survivor was repairing the instant you down them. The result is that even a single chase can chain-multiply gen damage, and the Survivors are constantly under pressure to spread out, which makes them easier to find and hook.
