The Lithe Highway (Shane + Lithe Chase)

Survivor Difficulty 2/5 Fun 5/5 Patch 10.0.0

A chase build that stacks every fast-vault Haste perk in the game. Lithe gives 150% speed for 3 seconds after a fast vault, Wide Open Throttle adds 10/12.5/15% Haste for 3 seconds after a fast vault - both trigger off the same vault and stack. Finesse adds another 5% Haste for 5 seconds on a missed attack, with no Exhausted penalty. Boon: Exponential doubles the healing rate of any totem you bless in a 16m range. Pure chase extension with a hidden heal backup.

Why it works

Lithe (Feng Min) triggers on a fast vault and gives 150% Movement Speed for 3 seconds. Wide Open Throttle (Shane Wiigwaas) triggers on the same fast vault, gives 10/12.5/15% Haste for 3 seconds, AND resets the pallet (blocking it for 60 seconds). Both perks share the same trigger and stack multiplicatively on Movement Speed - you can hit ~165% speed off a single vault. The pallet reset is the secret: most killers break the pallet and you lose the tile. With Wide Open Throttle the pallet is back up and blocked for a full minute, which means the killer has to leave the chase or vault through your own fresh god pallet. Finesse (Kate Denson) covers the second-vault problem: if the killer decides to swing and miss, you get another 5% Haste for 5 seconds with zero Exhausted risk, so you can chain vaults without using an exhaustion perk. Boon: Exponential (Mikaela Reid) gives the build its solo-queue teeth - drop a Boon in a corner of the map and your team heals 100% faster near it, including from the Lend a Hand charges Shane teammates give out. This is the natural pairing the NightLight data backs: Lithe is paired with Wide Open Throttle in 64.71% of recorded builds, more than any other perk by a factor of two. Community sentiment across Reddit, YouTube, and NightLight all confirms the Lithe + WOT chase stack is the strongest pure-chase build on Patch 10.
