[TRAPPER]
General strategy:
- Keep track of his spawn, the areas he has been to and the basement.
- Try to avoid these areas if you are injured.
- If you are healthy, take the speed boost from a hit to leave this areas. Avoid looping them.
- Do not step on grass outside of chase.

Useful tips:
- If downed near a trap, crawl over it to waste time. (point before)
- You can see if he has extra traps on his hand.
- You can guess add-ons in a number of ways.
	- Bloody coil injures disarmers
	- Sack makes zero traps spawn on map
	- Tar makes all traps darker
	- Iri Stone leaves random open traps
	- etc...

- You can go through traps with i-frames (DH, etc...)
- Holding a trap allows others to go through it.
- You can drop a pallet on badly placed trap (middle).
- You can squeeze through a badly placed trap (edge).
- You can fast vault over a badly placed trap (window).
- You can use maps to detect traps.
- At trapped gates, look down to disarm more safely.
- Disarming medium/hard choke traps is typically a good idea and time investment.
- Soft-choke traps can be ignored and dodged (SWF),
but disarm them if you are playing solo.
- If bloody coil is in play, you can let a 99'd healed Survivor disarm traps.
- You can tank a hit with BT/MoM out of a trap.
-

----------------------------

[WRAITH]
General strategy:
- Remain in high-visibility areas where it is hard to be ambushed, especially if injured and/or dead on hook.
- In low-visibility areas use perks, cues and comms to keep track of his location. Listen for his unique growling noise.
- Do not give free hits.
- Heal if possible, and do it near safe loops.

Useful tips:
- Flashlights can stun and de-cloak him.
	- Mid chase.
	- Pre-ambush.
	- Helping others.

- Flashbangs and firecrackers stun & de-cloak.
- Vault early and cut him off at windows/pallets to prevent him from bodyblocking you when cloaked.
- If cloaked, you can continuously vault a dropped
  pallet to force him to uncloak / delay the kick.
- If cloaked, windows never block and bloodlust resets.
- If cloaked, several pallet tricks can buy time:
	- Pallet stuns de-cloak and stun longer.
	- Repeated vaults can delay him at pallets.
	- Wait for a near-uncloak to drop (or fake it).
- At very unsafe pallets, run away during uncloak.
- Invisible, non-moving Wraiths still make noise.


----------------------------

[BILLY]
General strategy:
- Minimize the impact of his chainsaw by:
	- Using strong windows/structures
	- Avoiding deadzones
	- Give pallets when necessary
- Do risky gens in the open quickly as a team.

Useful tips:
- Dodge out of the way around corners to prevent
  curves from landing / lopro chain hits.
- Watch his speed to figure out use of engravings.
- Abuse strong windows. Preemptively switch loops
  if you expect an early use of Bamboozle.
- Crouch break LOS before dropping pallet?
- Wide turns after pallet drops to counter lopro
- Abuse post saw cooldown to get to safety
- Against heavy curvers, if far enough, break away
  from the loop as soon as they start revving.
- You can react-vault to a curve if the pallet is slightly
  indented in the loop.

----------------------------

[NURSE]
General strategy:
- Minimize chase potential by prolonging chase:
	- Split up.
	- Take her far away from gens/team.
	- Stealth when appropriate.
	- Seek refuge in areas with LOS blockers.

Useful tips:
- Removing line of sight is a huge priority in chase.
- Mixing up your movements out of LOS helps to
  remain unpredictable and hard to catch.
- Smart flashlight use can prevent use of her M2.
  Flashbangs/crackers also work similarly.
- DH almost guarantees a longer chase.
- Because of her low speed, using structures at
  the edges of the map is a uniquely viable strat.
- She cannot blink through most map edges.
- Running back into Nurse on 2nd floors prevents her
  from looking down to do a short blink.
- Nurse cannot land on a Survivor or dropped pallet.
  Use this to limit her landing options in chase.
- Bait a Dead Hard if Nurse is expecting it to make
  a play
- You can make run-back plays safely or bait them
  if you notice the Nurse has already pre-charged.
----------------------------


[SHAPE]
General strategy:

Useful tips:
-

----------------------------


[DOCTOR]
General strategy:
- Avoid blasts/shocks when possible to mitigate his
  info gathering and slowdown.
- Split up far apart to reduce effectiveness of blast and
  abuse his lack of mobility.
- Play around his shock denial by dropping & vaulting
  earlier than normal.
- Beware of common add-on effects & adapt.

Useful tips:
- Never wait at a pallet:
	- Predrop it if safe & appropriate.
	- Counterloop it and keep moving.
	-

- You can DH through the shock and the blast.
- Shocks are ineffective in vertical structures.
- Lockers allow you to dodge the blast.
- (explain when that happens, after hooks etc...)
-
- Snapping out sets you back to Madness 1.
- If another blast is coming, 99' your snap out.
  The blast won't reset the snap out meter.
- Remember you cannot use items or pick up dying
  Survivors in madness T3.
- If hit with deep wound in T3, find a team mate.


----------------------------

[HAG]
General strategy:
- Identify the area that she could have trapped and
  run away from it when hit. Delay the first down.
- Have at least one person dedicated to harass her
  placed traps throughout the match.
- Keep at least some Survivors healthy for rescues,
  and use low traffic paths to traverse a trapped area.

Useful tips:

- Disarming traps safely hinders Hag a lot. You can...
	- Use a flashlight to reveal & remove them
	- Use a flashbang/firecracker, works too
	- Trigger them from the edge of the radius
	- Trigger through window if too close
	- Trigger and tank a hit with BT (situational)
	- Trigger them when Hag is unavailable:
		- Carrying & hooking (5-16s)
		- Attack/miss cooldown (3-1s)
		- Stun animation (~1s)
		- Breaking animation (~2s)
		- Other animations (vaults, etc...)
		- Too far away to tp (40-50m away)

- If triggering a trap, stare at it to avoid camera swing.
- You can disarm an already triggered trap (flash, etc.)
- You can blind a Hag when she sets a trap.
- Use tricks to avoid triggering traps at loops:
	- Crouch after a fast vault
	- Crouch when falling off a vault/drop
	- Camp dropped safe pallets till she breaks
	- U-turn, hold S strat "tech"
	- Insta drop opposite side "tech"
	- Insta proc if trapping pallet "tech"
	- DH away to guarantee safety
	- Go around corner after a trigger

----------------------------

[HUNTRESS]
General strategy:

- Hug walls tightly if she's on the other side of a
  window.
- If getting hit on your way out of a structure, know
  when to hold W to create tons of distance.
- Force M1s at rock-like tall small loops and be ready
  to use the speed boost.
- Looping long walls tightly helps in chase very often,
  even if they have no pallet or window attached.

----------------------------

[CANNIBAL]
General strategy:
- Minimize the impact of his chainsaw by:
	- Using strong windows/structures
	- Avoiding chases in deadzones
	- Try to stun with pallets as you drop them
	- Avoid being hooked in dangerous areas:
		- Basement
		- Other hooks
		- Gens being repaired

- Repair exposed gens quickly as a team.
- Repair safer gens otherwise.
- Don't attempt risky saves against facecampers.
  It rarely ever works.


Useful tips:
- Abuse strong windows. Preemptively switch loops
  if you expect an early use of Bamboozle.
- Watch his saw duration to deduce add-ons.
  If it's long, do not attempt to outrun in the open.
- Hug very tight if looping against his chainsaw, it will
  make him more prone to miss / bump.
- If completely in the open, try to erratically loop trees,
  it can make landing the chainsaw hit harder.
- If completely out of choices, spinning into his FOV
  during his charge time can throw him off.
- If completely out of choices, you can enter a locker
  to avoid the end of a swing. After that...
	- Use head on if possible.
	- Time it right to avoid the grab.
- Loop tightly by breakable walls or dropped pallets,
  this can vaccuum his chainsaw and force a break.
- It's totally okay to drop any pallet to prevent a down
  at a high traffic or central area.
- If given the chance, fake vaults to a loop and connect
  to another one.
- Micro movements when about to break LOS to throw
  off early chainsaw charge
- Loop around big or small obstacles to exhaust the final
  few seconds of a charge (TIGHT!)


----------------------------

[PIG]
General strategy:
- Delay first down to deny some of her reverse bear traps.
-

Useful tips:
- Pre-drop pallet to deny ambush or be ready to abandon.
-


----------------------------




[SPIRIT]
General strategy:
- Normal stuff. Healing good.
- Prioritize staying healthy over pallet consumption.

Useful tips:
- Loop her normally and create distance when her
  power is recovering. Don't give free hits.
- Recovery: 2-3s per second of power used.
- If in doubt, run away from the husk location.
- If phasing, drop an unsafe pallet from your side and
  then vault it immediately. From their POV, it will look
  as if you panic vaulted back.
- You can blind and burn a Spirit out of her power if
  you line it up correctly (hard).
- Crouching immediately reduces steps/breathing
  sound. You can use this midchase to mislead her.
- This can help to misguide her if you do a u-turn.
- If the Spirit unphases with the same pattern, she
  might be using Cherry Blossom. Play accordingly.


----------------------------

[LEGION]
General strategy:
- Split up to minimize impact of his M2.
- Keep 1-2 Survivors healthy for any rescues.

Useful tips:
- Avoid dropping strong pallets to avoid M2.
- Lockers... (?)
- Hold "hostage" at pallets by slow vaulting them.
- Hold "hostage" at windows by vaulting them.
- Bodyblock for team mates after a frenzy hit.
- Stay or 99% deep wound to remain invisible



----------------------------

[PLAGUE]
General strategy:
- Loop tight around tall structures to take advantage of her slow projectile speed and delay hits / early infections.
-
-
-
Cleansing:
- Don't cleanse too close to the Killer itself.
- Don't cleanse if you are safe (area/hook stage)
- Cleanse only if fully infected or about to be (mend first!)
- Cleanse in corners, edges and gen-less areas.
- Avoid clensing in central/high traffic areas.
- Multiple cleanses at once can make a Plague lose her momentum in the mid-game if you jump on gens.
- Cleansing all fountains at once activates red purge, but removes all red fountains. Huge if done and timed right.
- You can re-infect yourself on purpose to quickly
  cleanse two fountains back to back.
- Cleansing during late-game is generally good.

During Vile Purge (Green):
- Avoid unnecessary contact with fully infected Survivors or infected map elements.
- If fully infected yourself, avoid unnecessary interactions as you infect on touch.
- Delay infection by preemptively escaping towards buildings and other tall loops.
- Move erratically and avoid being bodyblocked to prevent a full infection mid-chase.
- Crouching can often make the Plague shoot over you in the open or at short loops.
- Prioritize using low-wall pallets, save high-wall pallets for corrupt purge.
- If infected, you can deduce the location of corrupted fountains by seeing the other uncorrupted fountains.
- In chase, avoid bringing her towards team mates or already corrupted fountains.
- If time is not an issue, you can walk to keep the infection paused and delay the full infection.

During Corrupt Purge (Red):
- Sound cue & red particles = red puke ready
- Stealth is powerful if she doesn't have a target.
- Pallet hits cancel her power (even if the stun animation doesn't happen). Other stuns don't work.
- Start making distance preemptively and split up to make each chase as long as possible.
- Play it safe and use buildings and other tall loops.
- Rescuing from hook is very risky. Red puke can hit through hooked Survivors.
- Do NOT loop low-wall tiles.
- To avoid medium distance hits, use trees or other obstacles as you run away.
- Do not carelessly run in front of windows to avoid quick pukes.
- FOV spin tech can make her dodge.


----------------------------

[GHOSTFACE]
General strategy:
- Avoid giving free hits or getting 100 / 99'd stalked.
Use any visual / sound cues to avoid ambushes.
- Reveal him as often as possible.
- Avoid altruistic plays if you suspect you are 99'd.
- Rush altruistic plays after he's revealed (17-24s).

Useful tips:
- You can reveal him if more than 30% of his body is exposed. If you see his knee when leaning, that's typically good. If he's behind cover, don't try.
- If hooked, keep staring at him to deny his power.

Useful tips:
- Don't look at him directly if hiding during endgame.
- Try to reveal with your camera behind obstacles.
- It's useful to do this if you can anticipate his path
  between chases.
- Don't give him a chance to lean stalk you in the open.

- If you think you're 99'd...
	- Let others be altruistic if possible.
	- You're safe for ~20s after a reveal occurs.
	- You can force a hit at a hook to remove
	   the mark progress.
	- Don't prioritize healing if you are injured.
	- In close quarters, run into him to make
	  stalking near impossible while you reveal.

- If you're marked (average ~45s)...
	- Play it safe / use every resources.
	- If he loses you, keep making distance.
	- Let other take hits for you if possible.
	- You lose the mark completely if...
		- You get hit
		- You get hooked
		- You outlast it







- Stare at him from hook.

----------------------------

[DEMO]
General strategy:


- Abuse M2 recovery
----------------------------



[ONI]
General strategy:
- Delay first hit as long as possible.
- Do not spam vaults/etc in chase to delay orbs.
- Avoid healing/repairing in high traffic areas early on.
- You do NOT drop blood during his power. It's okay to do actions in high-traffic areas during that time.
- Split up and avoid dead-zones if he uses his power.
-
-

- Map-wide sound cue happens when:
	- Power is ready.
	- Power activates.
	- Power ends.
	- Stun happens.
	- etc...

Useful tips (during BLOOD FURY):
- During power, he cannot see blood orbs or hear too well.
- Do NOT try to outrun him in the open. Use exhaustion perks to reach safer areas instead.
- You can strategically force a grab to prevent an imminent snowball.
- Otherwise, AVOID being grabbed so his power depletes by -7s on each down.
- It's easy to blind him after a pallet break / hit animation.
- Moving with sharp turns around corners makes it really hard for him to catch up with dash.
- Crouching and waiting around corners can also help throw him off.
- Right before a dash hit, fake a direction and then pivot towards the opposite.
- Looping structures too tightly can make it easier to get hit, keep a bit of a distance if he's dashing.
- Move unpredictably if he's about to an M1 lunge, as it cannot be controlled easily.


----------------------------

[DEATHSLINGER]

General strategy:
- Save resources while healthy, use them to prolong
  chases when injured.
- Split up to mitigate use of deep wound as a stall tool.
- Escape open areas early to make first shot hard.
- Prioritize loops with high obstacles in chase.

Useful tips:
- Do not give a free M1.
- If speared, try to get stuck in corners and push to
  any obstacle available.
- Get behind corners as soon as possible in chase.
  If you're a bit late and he aims, you can use DH or
  dodge before turning the corner.
- If his gun is not loaded, run away and make distance.
  If he aims, his gun IS loaded.
- You can sometimes escape a loop during a reload.
- Unhook from the opposite side to avoid getting shot.
- You can take a hit for an injured speared Survivor.
  Or block them in place and break the chain.
- If out of choices, faking a pallet/window can help.
-

----------------------------

[EXECUTIONER]
General strategy:
- Deny him of his powers by avoiding the trail and minimizing his chances to use punishment.

- Trail:
	- Crouch walk through it to avoid it.
	- Walk behind the gap left from another.
	- Switch loops if he sets them mid chase.
	- If trail is unavoidable in chase...
	     - INJURED: don't step on it if you're
	       gonna go down anyway.
	     - HEALTHY: take the hit and make as
	       much distance as possible.

- Punishment:
	- You're mostly safe at ~8m or further.
	- Pre-drop safe pallets from ~8m or so if
	  you must lengthen the chase at any cost.
	- Abuse verticality / gaps when looping. His
	  punishment cannot go over them.
	- Don't hug loops tightly if he's about to use
 	  punishment, as it makes hits easier. If the
	  loop is safe, keep your distance.
	- You can DH last second after a pallet drop
	  / vault / rescue.
	- To counter I'm All Ears / lucky guesses, do
	   not stay close to the other side of a wall
	   after a vault / pallet drop.
	- Unpredictable plays at pallets help a lot.
	- Dropping pallets is safe during a missed
	  attack's cooldown.
	- Flashbangs / crackers can help around
	  corners since his camera is fixed.
	- You can also use flashlights to assist a
	  team mate in chase.

- Cages:
	- If tormented, take him away from the team
	  and go down near a corner of the map.
	- If tormented, you can still use DS at lockers.
	- Prioritize tormented Survs rescuing cages.
	- You can bait the Killer to a cage to re-spawn
	  it elsewhere.
	- Adrenaline and Kinship work on cages.
	- If a tormented Survivor is about to go down,
	  you can preemptively guess their spawn &
	  save time uncaging and healing them.

----------------------------

[BLIGHT]

General strategy:
- Minimize chase potential by avoiding areas where
  his power thrives.
- Gens in exposed areas should only be done quickly
  as a team or as a last resort.
- Splitting up on gens can diminish the effect of perks
  like Ruin and Tinkerer.


Useful tips:
- Deduce add-ons by paying attention to behaviour.
- Count bumps (up to 4) to know what's coming.
- You can bodyblock his first, non-lethal rush.
- You can pallet stun safely during first rush, or
  even subsequent rushes if he doesn't see you.
- Round loops without nearby trees are decent.
- You can dodge a last second hit with a locker juke.
- You can dodge a lethal rush by DH'ing through him.
- Lethal rush can sometimes vaccuum into a pallet or
  breakable wall if you loop near one.
- Faking a direction when dodging works often.
- Loop wide around a corner to dodge a flick.
- If LoS is broken, you can use unusual structures to
  throw him off during a sequence of rushes.






----------------------------

[TWINS]
General strategy:
- If chased by Victor, get far away from Charlotte.
- If holding Victor, reposition and keep him for 30s.
- If injured, staying in pairs is useful against Victor,
  especially if Charlotte is far away.
- Self / fast heals are typically very effective.
- Use strongest loops against Charlotte. Save smaller
  loops and obstacles to delay Victor.

Useful tips vs. VICTOR:
- When holding Victor always 99' the removal progress
  and cancel last second. This gives misleading info.
- If chased, do not fully remove Victor (you get slowed down).
- If not chased, reposition for about 20-30s towards
  an area with a gen / boon totem.
- After 30s, the Killer can recall Victor. If they don't,
  evaluate if it's worth removing it yourself. You are visible now.
- Far from Charlotte, lockers guarantee an escape.
- If others have been slugged and you are injured,
  lockers can force the Killer to make a decision.
- You can immediately hit him after a BT hit.
- If Victor is holding a locker, he cannot be recalled.
- Healthy Survivor can bodyblock a locker/injured Survivor.
- Do not roam around exit gates if healthy.
- If a healthy Survivor gets downed, heal tech them.
  (exit gates)
- Victor cannot see scratch marks, only blood. Use
  this to lose him if he makes a mistake.
- Charlotte's idle body loses collision after 30 seconds.
- You can stun Charlotte's body to wake her up.
- Any stun will kill Victor
- If in dire need, you can crouch towards an idle Victor
  to crush him undetected.
- Victor cannot pounce effectively at an elevation.
- Abuse strong windows. They never entity block.
-

STALL THEM LMAO:
- If Victor remains at a tight spot, crawl through him
  to the other side to force the Killer to move him.
- Getting downed in buildings and away from hooks
  lengthens the pick up process by a lot.
- If you are confident in the timing, always delay the
  Victor crush by a bit to buy time for your team.


----------------------------

[TRICKSTER]

General strategy:
- Abuse tall structures and buildings to deny range
  and down potential.
- Avoid chases and hooks in the open, where his
  power is very dangerous.
- Delay him by making him waste as many knives per
  chase as possible. Abuse any areas without a locker.

Useful tips:
- Listen to Trickster's lullaby + TR and make an early
  retreat if you're repairing an exposed generator.
- Unhook scenarios in the open/basement are very
  dangerous. Do not allow him to snowball.
- Unhooking a Survivor from behind helps them tank
  some knives for you during invincibility period.
- Use his reload time to make distance / unhook.
- Breaking line of sight is almost more important than
  pallets and windows.
- Play the long side of shack / long walled fences.
- If not fully lacerated, stay behind cover and make
  distance at any cost to lose the laceration (15s).
- At mid range, tiny zigzags help to waste his knives.


Against Main Event:
- Stuns interrupt main event, if possible to pull off.
- Enter lockers to counter main event. ***
- He cannot use knives for 5s after main event. Run.
- Main event can't be paused, only cancelled. If he
  loses some distance on you, use cover & outlast it.




----------------------------

[NEMESIS]
General strategy:
- Delay T2 as much as possible.
	- Split up from others.
	- Try to force M1s.
	- Pre-drop pallets if safe.
	- Save vaccines until T2/T3.

- Abuse his need to hit 3 times, use distance wisely.


Useful tips:
- Avoid loops with zombies in them if possible.
- Blind zombies to buy ~12s.
- Lure away and blind to make them lose an area.
- Crouching at low tiles / windows / pallets can
  help dodge a tentacle strike.
- You can bait a miss at a window / pallet, then
  use it during the cooldown.
- You can tank a zombie hit to use the speed.
  Useful if you're racing towards an exit gate or
  about to be cornered and doubled tapped.
- Use vaccines when convenient. Save 1 or 2 for
  people dead on hook if possible. If you don't have
  an item, be sure to pick one if you're near early on.
- Try to use vaccines away from the Killer to make
  the KI info less relevant and useful.
- Near endgame, vaccinating mid-chase can work.
- Avoid being cornered into loops by the edges.
- Don't carelessly run in front of windows in chase.
- Break out of the tight loop to avoid a tentacle drag.
-

----------------------------

[PINHEAD]

(CUBE RESPAWN & CHAIN HUNT TIMES)

If solved: 45s + 90s before start
If tp'd: 45s + 90s before start
If downed: 30s + immediate
If picked up: 10s + immediate

CUBE STRATS:
- You don't need to go out of your way to solve the cube immediately.
- Solve the cube if it's fast & safe or if the timer is drawing near.
- Healthy, non-DOH Survivors should attempt it.
- Solving with Cube with DS can force a lose-lose
  situation for the Killer. Risky move though.
- Move the cube far away to force a bad teleport and
  to make interruptiong the process harder.
- Solving after a survivor is picked up is a good idea.
  Killer should basically have no time to teleport.
- When holding the cube, begin solving after dodging
  the 3 chains that spawn. You won't get interrupted
  after that.
- Solving next to many obstacles can make it hard
  to be interrupted by a possessed chain.
- Hide in locker with CUBE lmao???**

CHAIN STRATS:
- Use doorways, windows and environment to easily
  break chains in chase.
- Mind his ~5s power cooldown after a missed attack.
  Loop him normally for the duration.
- You can blind his body while he's using the chain on
  someone else.
- You can break the chains of a team mate to help.
- You can force the Killer to break his own chains.
- Look at his animation to know when he's M2'ing.
- Sharp turns can help dodge mid-range chains.
- Don't wait at exit gates (or else...)
- You can stun him if mid-pallet.

----------------------------

[ARTIST]

General strategy:

Useful tips:
- She cannot use her power within 10m* of a hook.
- Leave gens 5-6s after a hook happens to dodge birds.
-
