you know it's diabolical when a player mentally damages you with their build/playstyle so much that you bring it up months later to inflict that same pain onto other players
One major flaw with the instadown addon is that once you lose track of how many guards you spawned, youll have no clue when survivors are exposed, which is why I would always run it with a double guard addon so the exposed always happens on the same guard.
That seemed to be what the Knight player in the second game was doing; he had Battle Axe Head. Which I think is the strongest double-guard addon to combo with Knight's Contract; having two Carnifexes for gen- and pallet-kicking utility will get you around to your Instadown Jailer faster than two Assassins for chase.

My most diabolical build is coulro, unnerving, distressing and merciless storm on doctor with purple order, and either purple calm or purple discipline for addons. This is already mean enough, but fails on larger maps. The workaround and true evil of this build is running a midwich offering as well.

Tbh I actually don't mind longer matches! I prefer them more to the short ones, they're usually more engaging. Though I guess I can sort of understand how on the average survivor's side it can seem boring to have lengthy matches in a row since the objective isn't the most dynamic thing.
Long matches give less points and overall are more frustrating/boring for survivors as it’s basically doing the same things over and over gaining no progress 😅 that’s what longer matches are..they last longer because you’re stuck not making progress. It’s best if matches last about 6-7 minutes, best for point gathering and less exhausting for survivors
I made a Legion build that was so evil that survivors gave up. It consists of: - The good old Hex: Thrill of the Hunt and Hex: Face the Darkness combo - Deathbound - Trail of Torment/ gen slowdown For add-ons, you definitely need the Etched Ruler and The Legion Pin And there you have it, a build that makes survivors unable to do gens bc of screams and being oblivious while also not being able to Heal.
I have a build a bit more diabolical than this, using the dredge equip the perks make your choice, furtive chase, nemesis, and your choice of either rancor or devour hope. Add-ons don’t really matter much but I do prefer ones that cause the night to come around faster and more often to help disorient and confuse. You focus on the obsession and hook them. After you hook find a good spot out of site and use your float leaving a remnant behind and hold your charge as you walk away. When the obsession is unhooked the unhooker will scream having their aura revealed and they become exposed and you get another token if you brought devour hope. The moment you hear that person get unhooked you teleport back to your remnant and down the now VERY vulnerable survivor will not have much to do about it. I love this build because of how evil it is and it still provides counterplay to the survivors so if they catch on they can do their best to fight back and it rewards those who do pay attention
I'd agree but you don't understrand that the point is to use either Knight or Skull merchant, overall weak killers that survivors in solo queue can't help but fall into a stalemate with because they lack teamwork. Those killer are so impossibly weak... but the hatred towards them and 3 gen strat is off the chart. That's why they are my favorite killers, that and Huntress with iri addon camping basement. There is something magical about seing them instantly DC and all the hatemail you get after games is hilarious. Made my steam profile private just to add to that, it never fails to entertain me! XD
@@TheSpectralFX I wouldn’t say they’re weak killers. But I wouldn’t call things that are pretty much almost uncounterable fun. I personally love it when there is some form of counterplay to some incredibly unforgiving and evil build I create so that survivors who begin to catch on can have fun too and it encourages them to work together and I feel like an actual monster and they get to feel like genuine survivors who if they successfully escaped just escaped probably one of the most butt clenching and most tense match they’ve had in a minute. I personally don’t mind getting out skilled by someone because ik they worked hard on it! Skull merchant and knight have fun ways to play without a 3 gen or camping. Camping gets boring after awhile l. But I do suppose this build does punish hard for teams that aren’t working together. Especially because it’s kinda ez imo to counter it since I only focus on the obsession unless you’re in the way or the obsession died and my bs instant teleport can be made useless by walking through my remnant and locking everything around so you have a chance to escape and so long as you take out a totem or rush that unhook after I’ve walked away just a tad bit than a lot of my stuff is made useless and I guess I’m weird because I like when survivors start to figure it out
Another Otzdarva banger, pretty wild to see just how oppressive this is, and how it used to be even stronger in the past, a lot like the pinhead standing on the box to make gens completely impossible without a lot of work. That's still powerful, but at least they can't just afk on the box.
You know what's fun? 4 SWF and just move in and our of lockers when killer locks down 3 gen. We have no problem hoping in and out of lockers on the other side of map of 3 gen.
I’d say the slinger’s coin is the only decent insta-down, especially since it’s both body-blockable, AND you need to pull someone allll the way back in.
When the knight first came out I was really enjoying him so I bought his iri skin and I almost never buy skins and haven’t played him sense and he is one of the only characters I have ever bought a skin for
@@WildArtistsl I do still play him in fact I just did a really fun end game build but a lot of times he isn’t that fun to play because the only way you can really win as him is 3 gening
The argument I saw very much at the time was: We need Erruption to be strong to counter the overuse of Dead Hard. And the counterargument was: We need Dead Hard to counter Erruption. So anytime you suggested that Erruption needed to be nerfed, they said NERF DEAD HARD FIRST and vice versa.
I wish eruption blocked gens instead of giving that status effect or showing auras like it does now. It would let survivors heal, do another gen, break totems thatever and it would be good anti genrush perk.
pain res dead man’s already does that and it’s still annoying even with the potential warning, imagine your gen getting hurt and blocked at potentially random times because your teammate goes down when you can’t predict it
The biggest flaw of instadown addons is it makes chases shorter, which is the main fun objective for both sides. Hopefully their pivot towards chase perks means they’re moving in a new direction because the gameplay focus on gens just isn’t fun for most players.
Surveillance on Knight is filthy. Combine it with the add on for farther summoning reach and you can intercept people the second a generator is highlighted
A diabolical build I like to do is Pig on RPD, with iri tape, rules set no.2 (survivors cant see box auras until their tape is active), then devour, undying, and i just go with two other decent perks, typically just jolt and STBFL Every time I've done this, all 4 survivors have died before a single gen popped.
A quick and easy way I feel to minimize nasty 3 gens is to add a timer. 15-20 minutes should do. Hell to prevent survivors from taking the game hostage too would be to just DC survs with crows for too long or ones that aren't doing objectives for too long.
Guards shouldn’t be able to kick a gen in the first place if there is a survivor actively working on it. If the killer themself can’t kick a gen mid-repair, guards definitely shouldn’t either. Also guards’ gen kicks shouldn’t regress more than the killer’s own gen kicks.
2:57 - "The gens are more important than the Survivors." --Every Knight Player Ever I escaped three different Knights yesterday. Baffled that none of them ever run the Iri Add-ons. His aren't bad. Rest in piss, Old Eruption, do not miss you at all.
Honestly, its because Iri addon are kinda hard to get in the first place. Map of the realm and the yellow contract one are a pretty solid "generic" build outside of that and this is what I run the most. Without the 2 addon mentioned above, your guards usually can't ever catch up to a w pressing survivor due to how intentionally bad they made the AI for the minions. It's a very weak killer.
As a killer main, I still see no issue with old eruption at the time. It was genrush meta so it was either bring eruption to force extra time in the match, play top tier killers to keep survivor hook states going, or slug with ring drawing sadako and use the excuse "atleast I didn't bring eruption"
I don’t think it was genrush meta actually I think what you said about stronger killers outshining was the problem. Playing clown, wraith, sadako or any m1 killer without gen kicking perks felt brutal. But playing blight and nurse was and even still is so easy . I can confidently say that eruption was bad and problematic, but it didn’t need the nerf / rework that it got. I feel like making it incapacitated for 25 seconds is insane they could have just lowered that to 10 seconds. Doing that would’ve been step one. If it was still problematic then make it 10% of it’s CURRENT progress as they did with Pop.
Play knight and nobody panics, but play knight with an insta-down addon, some gen regression perks and everybody loses their minds! -The joker, probably.
I actually had a break of DBD for some time, and I returned once to play with some of my friends. (All noobs so nothing special) And I didn't know about this Perk Eruption, I was bewildered by what was happening. First I got jump scared (not complaining about that), and then I felt absolutely powerless... and then I noticed, this repeats multiple times through the game. I didn't even know what to think of that perk back then.
Massive? It is merely quality of life change tbh. It is not changing anything. Maybe you will see slightly less walleys add ons and one more smolface than usual but thats it.
@@sxerwin biased opinion, ph buff is quite significant since he will almost guarantee a cage. Survivors got op stuff too but it doesn't take away the other things.
Everyone i played with thought that Eruption was weak because it was just a mini delayed pop that took too much setup. But i went "yeah but if you also hit a survivor with it they get crippled for stupid amount of time".
I think the Devs need to just take the plunge and implement a regression cap. You can only regress a gen 100% of its total progress, before you are unable to regress that single generator anymore. So you can pop it, hit it with call of brine, etc - but once you've regressed a generator for 100% of a gen, it just won't regress anymore, and you have no option to interact with it as a killer. At the same time, and using your own prior suggestion, toolboxes should help "fill" this anti-regression bar up. So this would change the groundwork of toolboxes, too, since their main use isn't for repairing gens - but securing them against the killer, which is the ultimate goal of the player (securing the generator is the same as popping it - if a generator is finished, the survivors have secured it and the killer can't just turn off that gen. This new toolbox system would help secure gens, and make late-game toolboxes extremely common - and would change how killers approach toolboxes in the lobby appropriately). Though I do think using a toolbox should increase the speed *slightly* of generator repairs, as well. 10% extra speed is fine, but 50%? Is not. So the Engineer's toolbox, with its low charge count, could give 25% bonus speed - 50% with addons - at best. Brand New Part should add anti-regression during its skillchecks in large chunks (33% seems fair, so the killer can only regress 67% of the Generator's progress).
This regression cap is a horrible idea. Yes it'd help 3 gen-ing but it's terrible when the killer is just trying to keep a gen 0 when survivors keep swarming it. Literally turns into a losing battle even when not 3 gen-ing for the killer who is supposed to be the powerhouse and would be handholding survivors more then they already do
@@psylina If the killer recgonizes the survivors swarming the same generator, wouldn't that be a winning position for them? It's free hits, exactly what they want
I just wish they buff stuff alongside nerfing. Buff individual killers, buff or rework unused perks, just do anything instead of "yup we're going to kill every perk that killers use the most"
Ah what horrible memories. Wish I could say that eruption was not that bad but I only said that to trick myself into dealing with how broken it once was.
When eruption was had its 25 seconds of I ran vigil just because eruption and 3 gens we're so popular and it didn't make too much of a difference but that and stakeout helped alot in those 3 gens especially with prove or resilience
I'm surprised they didn't make Incapacitated a Debuff that is like deep wound but make it so the only way to rcover faster than the 25 seconds is to have someone else patch you up. But that's gone and even without it that setup on RPD is brutal
The unfortunate thing is that having the guards damage gens doesn't activate Eruption or Overcharge. It's an 'Order'. But it works with a perk like Surveillance where its based on regression.
I know I do, but that's because I know better, that we should be easily beating trash tier killers like that. Everyone else is hurr durr "This killer's toxic/OP! Why can't I win with my Urban Evasion/Sole Survivor build?!"
God I wish BHVR would do something about matches like this, because this stuff is still possible and not that uncommon. I'd rather take the DC penalty and the depip then to play a 30 minute slog of trying to get a single gen done. Simply put, it's not fun. I don't mind losing matches and I can have fun while doing it, but strats like this suck the fun out of it.
The issue wasn't that the perk had the condition it did, the problem was how long it lasted. Time and again I end up in situations that because I didn't play like a jerk I have 1 gen and 3-4 death hook survivors who I have to lose because there are just tiles that make gens safe to work no matter what I do. To get a down I lose because all 4 are alive. a 6 second disable I think would have been fine on this perk because this perk often used to hit only 1 of 2 but give me a chance. Unfortunately there is no catch-up mechanic other than perk choice for killers and there are many catch-up options for survivors with base kit this that and the other now.
I still know a person that says they should bring back thw old erruption bc "it was fun" (which yes they were a killer main, but they played survivor too)
I dare to say… not the most diabolical build. Not the most diabolical addons. I present to you: whack a mole ghostface. Ghostface, both iri add ons, knock out, sloppy butcher, lethal pursuer, and gearhead. Actually evil. I’m on a 50 game win streak with it right now.
i played against this a lot on Xbox when eruption was busted. it literally made me a killer main. even to this day, I only play survivor for tomes and dailys.
"This build is so evil even I'm disgusted and I'm not the one playing." lmao I wish Otz wasn't so damn nice. If you're playing Killer, play the part and be the most evilest monster known to mankind. It's a horror game, they SHOULD be afraid of you lmaoo
It being a horror game isn’t an excuse to be so evil you make it not fun for anyone involved..they aren’t afraid of you they just think you’re a huge asshat 😅
I don't think the Insta-down addon is the problem here. It's the map Everyone knows already that maps in this game are horrible (New alien map is no exception) this is why stuff like this can be torture sent by Satan himself on RPD, midly annoying on Coal Tower, and basically useless on Red Forest. It's all, and will always be, about the maps
As a terrible person who has trouble tracking Daubony knight is fun for me. Thing is while i had a ps4 i got messaged to please let them leave (they asked nicely) 30 minutes in... i let them go because there was no bigger win then that.
Yo, I got banned from dbd playing knight! I had to write to dbd support to tell them I did nothing wrong, and they finally un banned me! Survivors reported me because I was winning with knight-.-

When the obsession is unhooked the unhooker will scream having their aura revealed and they become exposed and you get another token if you brought devour hope. The moment you hear that person get unhooked you teleport back to your remnant and down the now VERY vulnerable survivor will not have much to do about it. I love this build because of how evil it is and it still provides counterplay to the survivors so if they catch on they can do their best to fight back and it rewards those who do pay attention
I'd agree but you don't understrand that the point is to use either Knight or Skull merchant, overall weak killers that survivors in solo queue can't help but fall into a stalemate with because they lack teamwork.
Those killer are so impossibly weak... but the hatred towards them and 3 gen strat is off the chart.
That's why they are my favorite killers, that and Huntress with iri addon camping basement.
There is something magical about seing them instantly DC and all the hatemail you get after games is hilarious.
Made my steam profile private just to add to that, it never fails to entertain me! XD
@@TheSpectralFX you sound like a sad person
@@TheSpectralFX I wouldn’t say they’re weak killers. But I wouldn’t call things that are pretty much almost uncounterable fun. I personally love it when there is some form of counterplay to some incredibly unforgiving and evil build I create so that survivors who begin to catch on can have fun too and it encourages them to work together and I feel like an actual monster and they get to feel like genuine survivors who if they successfully escaped just escaped probably one of the most butt clenching and most tense match they’ve had in a minute. I personally don’t mind getting out skilled by someone because ik they worked hard on it! Skull merchant and knight have fun ways to play without a 3 gen or camping. Camping gets boring after awhile l. But I do suppose this build does punish hard for teams that aren’t working together. Especially because it’s kinda ez imo to counter it since I only focus on the obsession unless you’re in the way or the obsession died and my bs instant teleport can be made useless by walking through my remnant and locking everything around so you have a chance to escape and so long as you take out a totem or rush that unhook after I’ve walked away just a tad bit than a lot of my stuff is made useless and I guess I’m weird because I like when survivors start to figure it out
Another Otzdarva banger, pretty wild to see just how oppressive this is, and how it used to be even stronger in the past, a lot like the pinhead standing on the box to make gens completely impossible without a lot of work.
That's still powerful, but at least they can't just afk on the box.
You know what's fun? 4 SWF and just move in and our of lockers when killer locks down 3 gen. We have no problem hoping in and out of lockers on the other side of map of 3 gen.
If the killer has the patience and mental skill, that wouldn't bother them
I personally love the knight
I'm sure you love blight and nurses too.
@@gurshu12 no I don't play them unless I get a daily for them
same, i’m a knight main and i’m tryna p100 him
@@daultrak1ller aaay same here
ew gross
I’d say the slinger’s coin is the only decent insta-down, especially since it’s both body-blockable, AND you need to pull someone allll the way back in.
The way his entire chat lit up when he clicked Knight
I played this build last week on The Game. Its crazy how much time knight can slow the gens in a 3gen
Otz! As someone who plays Knight frequently we are supposed to go AGAINST the 3 genning stereotype 😢😢😢
When the knight first came out I was really enjoying him so I bought his iri skin and I almost never buy skins and haven’t played him sense and he is one of the only characters I have ever bought a skin for
Keep playing him who cares what you play aslongest you hva efun
@@WildArtistsl I do still play him in fact I just did a really fun end game build but a lot of times he isn’t that fun to play because the only way you can really win as him is 3 gening
The argument I saw very much at the time was: We need Erruption to be strong to counter the overuse of Dead Hard. And the counterargument was: We need Dead Hard to counter Erruption.
So anytime you suggested that Erruption needed to be nerfed, they said NERF DEAD HARD FIRST and vice versa.
I wish eruption blocked gens instead of giving that status effect or showing auras like it does now. It would let survivors heal, do another gen, break totems thatever and it would be good anti genrush perk.
pain res dead man’s already does that and it’s still annoying even with the potential warning, imagine your gen getting hurt and blocked at potentially random times because your teammate goes down when you can’t predict it
@@skyebulb6437 gens being done in 4 minutes also annoying as hell, but devs nerf only slowdown perk.
The biggest flaw of instadown addons is it makes chases shorter, which is the main fun objective for both sides. Hopefully their pivot towards chase perks means they’re moving in a new direction because the gameplay focus on gens just isn’t fun for most players.
Surveillance on Knight is filthy. Combine it with the add on for farther summoning reach and you can intercept people the second a generator is highlighted
"otz what do you think of the game adding 2 killers 5 survivors"
dude was NOT ready for the 2v8 to be added
The knight look so cool~
The knight, otz was playing against as a survivor, is a streamer. Nickname - Mulder
You'd think Mulder would play Skully
A diabolical build I like to do is Pig on RPD, with iri tape, rules set no.2 (survivors cant see box auras until their tape is active), then devour, undying, and i just go with two other decent perks, typically just jolt and STBFL
Every time I've done this, all 4 survivors have died before a single gen popped.
Усатый гачист затащил.
well I know what build I'm running.
A quick and easy way I feel to minimize nasty 3 gens is to add a timer. 15-20 minutes should do. Hell to prevent survivors from taking the game hostage too would be to just DC survs with crows for too long or ones that aren't doing objectives for too long.
this has given me flash backs to when i had played against old eruption, and it was miserable
I saw this build yesterday and before that I didn't even know Knight had an instadown addon lol.
Guards shouldn’t be able to kick a gen in the first place if there is a survivor actively working on it. If the killer themself can’t kick a gen mid-repair, guards definitely shouldn’t either. Also guards’ gen kicks shouldn’t regress more than the killer’s own gen kicks.
Guards should be able to kick if you're there. Furthermore, yeah let's make the killer kick for 5% as well.
The knight is fine. Its power is perfectly balanced too, all survivors have to do is press w... its a very weak killer.
The guard's gen kicks are fine plus they can prevent gen tapping 😂
2:57 - "The gens are more important than the Survivors." --Every Knight Player Ever
I escaped three different Knights yesterday. Baffled that none of them ever run the Iri Add-ons. His aren't bad. Rest in piss, Old Eruption, do not miss you at all.
Honestly, its because Iri addon are kinda hard to get in the first place.
Map of the realm and the yellow contract one are a pretty solid "generic" build outside of that and this is what I run the most.
Without the 2 addon mentioned above, your guards usually can't ever catch up to a w pressing survivor due to how intentionally bad they made the AI for the minions.
It's a very weak killer.
I haven't really given Knight's addons much thought before but god damn that iri is just not okay.
Hello Otz, u played this against Mulder in video named: MULDER vs OTZDARVA in DBD, check it
As a killer main, I still see no issue with old eruption at the time. It was genrush meta so it was either bring eruption to force extra time in the match, play top tier killers to keep survivor hook states going, or slug with ring drawing sadako and use the excuse "atleast I didn't bring eruption"
I don’t think it was genrush meta actually I think what you said about stronger killers outshining was the problem. Playing clown, wraith, sadako or any m1 killer without gen kicking perks felt brutal. But playing blight and nurse was and even still is so easy .
I can confidently say that eruption was bad and problematic, but it didn’t need the nerf / rework that it got. I feel like making it incapacitated for 25 seconds is insane they could have just lowered that to 10 seconds. Doing that would’ve been step one. If it was still problematic then make it 10% of it’s CURRENT progress as they did with Pop.
Play knight and nobody panics, but play knight with an insta-down addon, some gen regression perks and everybody loses their minds!
-The joker, probably.
Objectively, the most diabolical killer is clearly Wesker. Nothing is more diabolical than the mastermind unintentionally flying through windows
I actually had a break of DBD for some time, and I returned once to play with some of my friends. (All noobs so nothing special)
And I didn't know about this Perk Eruption, I was bewildered by what was happening. First I got jump scared (not complaining about that), and then I felt absolutely powerless... and then I noticed, this repeats multiple times through the game. I didn't even know what to think of that perk back then.
Hey Otz, will you be discussing the massive ghost face buffs? Or do think it'll be toned down or scrapped before the ptb closes?
Massive? Bit of a exaggeration.
if that's massive what's the ph buff? 💀
Massive? It is merely quality of life change tbh. It is not changing anything. Maybe you will see slightly less walleys add ons and one more smolface than usual but thats it.
@@Gian_sas
Also not massive, compared to what survivors get.
@@sxerwin biased opinion, ph buff is quite significant since he will almost guarantee a cage. Survivors got op stuff too but it doesn't take away the other things.
One of the best builds for wesker you say, description? How interesting
Sorry, sometimes I copy-paste descriptions from previous videos to save time with the formatting, but it's fixed now!
Everyone i played with thought that Eruption was weak because it was just a mini delayed pop that took too much setup. But i went "yeah but if you also hit a survivor with it they get crippled for stupid amount of time".
Cant wait to see this be used for the next week in every other game... REEEEEEE
Alright, I'm about to get grilled but thank you for playing Knight. I genuily enjoy playing him. Also, evil build sir. Good video :).
No skill having killer, you probably 3 gen
I think the Devs need to just take the plunge and implement a regression cap. You can only regress a gen 100% of its total progress, before you are unable to regress that single generator anymore. So you can pop it, hit it with call of brine, etc - but once you've regressed a generator for 100% of a gen, it just won't regress anymore, and you have no option to interact with it as a killer. At the same time, and using your own prior suggestion, toolboxes should help "fill" this anti-regression bar up.
So this would change the groundwork of toolboxes, too, since their main use isn't for repairing gens - but securing them against the killer, which is the ultimate goal of the player (securing the generator is the same as popping it - if a generator is finished, the survivors have secured it and the killer can't just turn off that gen. This new toolbox system would help secure gens, and make late-game toolboxes extremely common - and would change how killers approach toolboxes in the lobby appropriately).
Though I do think using a toolbox should increase the speed *slightly* of generator repairs, as well. 10% extra speed is fine, but 50%? Is not. So the Engineer's toolbox, with its low charge count, could give 25% bonus speed - 50% with addons - at best. Brand New Part should add anti-regression during its skillchecks in large chunks (33% seems fair, so the killer can only regress 67% of the Generator's progress).
This regression cap is a horrible idea. Yes it'd help 3 gen-ing but it's terrible when the killer is just trying to keep a gen 0 when survivors keep swarming it. Literally turns into a losing battle even when not 3 gen-ing for the killer who is supposed to be the powerhouse and would be handholding survivors more then they already do
@@psylina If the killer recgonizes the survivors swarming the same generator, wouldn't that be a winning position for them? It's free hits, exactly what they want
I just wish they buff stuff alongside nerfing. Buff individual killers, buff or rework unused perks, just do anything instead of "yup we're going to kill every perk that killers use the most"
(in my opinion) the knight is definitely a fan favorite and I love seeing video/build with him
Really diabolical build on my main, but i would've slapped huntress lullaby for even more sound notifications and secure guard hunts 😈😈
Ah yes the Knight. Every killer that can't actually play killers favorite killer.
The most diabolical build is:
-Skull merchant
-Rancor
-Noway out
-Game afoot
-Noed
Ah what horrible memories. Wish I could say that eruption was not that bad but I only said that to trick myself into dealing with how broken it once was.
sick wesker gameplay.
(the description is wrong)
w knight content, i love the knight
this makes opening the exit gates and colleting salt looks cute lol
When eruption was had its 25 seconds of I ran vigil just because eruption and 3 gens we're so popular and it didn't make too much of a difference but that and stakeout helped alot in those 3 gens especially with prove or resilience
2 minutes ago? New otz video? What a lovely dinner this is
I'm surprised they didn't make Incapacitated a Debuff that is like deep wound but make it so the only way to rcover faster than the 25 seconds is to have someone else patch you up. But that's gone and even without it that setup on RPD is brutal
Wow, I only got into the game within the last year. I didn't know how busted Eruption used to be that is crazy.
The unfortunate thing is that having the guards damage gens doesn't activate Eruption or Overcharge. It's an 'Order'. But it works with a perk like Surveillance where its based on regression.
That'd make this even more diabolical
If guard could activate perks, then this build would be truly diabolical. Or just knight in general.
survivors lose their minds when an m1 killer actually kills them
I know I do, but that's because I know better, that we should be easily beating trash tier killers like that. Everyone else is hurr durr "This killer's toxic/OP! Why can't I win with my Urban Evasion/Sole Survivor build?!"
Bro could have just played skull merchant on RPD 💀
Fun fact : your game as a survivor , killer was a russian streamer that made a video about this build and he did put this match in ur video
I hope that Russian streamer has the typical vilain mustache IRL, that'd be dope.
@@TheSpectralFX hahahahah, he kinda have
God I wish BHVR would do something about matches like this, because this stuff is still possible and not that uncommon. I'd rather take the DC penalty and the depip then to play a 30 minute slog of trying to get a single gen done. Simply put, it's not fun. I don't mind losing matches and I can have fun while doing it, but strats like this suck the fun out of it.
Congrats to Caykebatter in the chat for passing their driving test. lol
Saw the match live on twitch, this build is so strong and annoying i really hope they fix these perks.
The issue wasn't that the perk had the condition it did, the problem was how long it lasted. Time and again I end up in situations that because I didn't play like a jerk I have 1 gen and 3-4 death hook survivors who I have to lose because there are just tiles that make gens safe to work no matter what I do. To get a down I lose because all 4 are alive. a 6 second disable I think would have been fine on this perk because this perk often used to hit only 1 of 2 but give me a chance. Unfortunately there is no catch-up mechanic other than perk choice for killers and there are many catch-up options for survivors with base kit this that and the other now.
I still know a person that says they should bring back thw old erruption bc "it was fun" (which yes they were a killer main, but they played survivor too)
You had me at the Knight.
I love the variation of like
As the killer: This is a good time and enjoying it
As the survivor: This is so dumb I hate it
lol it goes both ways tbh
I dare to say… not the most diabolical build. Not the most diabolical addons. I present to you: whack a mole ghostface. Ghostface, both iri add ons, knock out, sloppy butcher, lethal pursuer, and gearhead. Actually evil. I’m on a 50 game win streak with it right now.
Write it doen patrick. WRITE IT DOWN!
Ever since this video has been posted I have seen 3 killers use this strat and I am not happy
i played against this a lot on Xbox when eruption was busted. it literally made me a killer main. even to this day, I only play survivor for tomes and dailys.
Its a nightmare playing against a good knight especially without a cordinated team
"This build is so evil even I'm disgusted and I'm not the one playing." lmao I wish Otz wasn't so damn nice. If you're playing Killer, play the part and be the most evilest monster known to mankind. It's a horror game, they SHOULD be afraid of you lmaoo
It being a horror game isn’t an excuse to be so evil you make it not fun for anyone involved..they aren’t afraid of you they just think you’re a huge asshat 😅
I don't think the Insta-down addon is the problem here. It's the map
Everyone knows already that maps in this game are horrible (New alien map is no exception) this is why stuff like this can be torture sent by Satan himself on RPD, midly annoying on Coal Tower, and basically useless on Red Forest. It's all, and will always be, about the maps
If the haddie had taken a single chase or hook, or committed more to gens, then they might have won.
As a terrible person who has trouble tracking Daubony knight is fun for me.
Thing is while i had a ps4 i got messaged to please let them leave (they asked nicely) 30 minutes in... i let them go because there was no bigger win then that.
Yo, I got banned from dbd playing knight! I had to write to dbd support to tell them I did nothing wrong, and they finally un banned me! Survivors reported me because I was winning with knight-.-
FINALLY A KNIGHT GAME
Knight gang! ✊
