alright, Let's jump right into it!
Tip No. 1: First Survivor
The first survivor that you want to hunt down
is either a character that is quite weak early
game or a survivor that is a strong decoder.
Two examples of this are the enchantress and
the mechanic.
Since the enchantress can't use her skill
right away shes an easier target early game,
and the mechanic is one of the strongest decoders,
so bringing her down will slow down the survivors
decoding speed by a lot.
On the other side, you want to avoid hunting
down a Mercenary or a Perfumer early game,
since they have great kiting potential from
the very start.
Tip No. 1.1: Concentrate on your first survivor
The survivor team will most likely try to
rescue the survivor that is on the rocket
chair.
Playing as a hunter, it is crucial to focus
on the first survivor elimination.
Don't let the other survivors distract you
from bringing down the first survivor again
and secure that first elimination.
Tip No. 2: Protect
When you're playing in a survivor team, and
you see that one survivor was already 2 times
on the rocket chair, make sure to protect
this survivor.
Even if that means that you need to take a
hit and even if that means that you will go
down.
As long as you manage to rescue the other
survivor, this survivor is still in the game
and can still help with the decoding.
This gives you as survivor team more time
bring down cipher machines.
Tip No. 3: Don't be afraid take a hit
This tip complements the previous advice:
Don't be scared to take a hit for a teammate.
That might be necessary to get a survivor
from the rocket chair or to body block one
hit for another survivor, or even to give
you that one second that you need to heal
up a survivor in front of the hunters' eyes.
Tip No. 4: Blink & Hit!
A strategy that we see quite often in high
competitive gameplay is to use Blink & Hit.
Using blink to hit a survivor in the right
moment can be extremely helpful.
You can get through windows & pallets quicker,
you can close the gap between yourself and
a kiting survivor, you can blink through walls
and as Smiley Face you can even Dash & Blink
to surprise hit the survivors.
Tip No. 5: Webshots
This tip is specifically for the Soul Weaver.
Use your webshots wisely.
The Webshots can get rid of an owl that protects
a survivor so you can strike a hit right away,
but the webshot can also make the survivor
think that you might have tried to hit with
an attack.
In the case of the perfumer, she might use
her perfume just so you can land a hit on
her right after she did.
Tip No. 6: Fog Blades
Another specific tip, this time for the Ripper,
is to use the trait Peeper to locate survivors
that are nearby and to hit them through the
walls with the fog blade.
This can be very powerful and surprise the
survivors, putting a lot of pressure on the
survivor side.
Hits like these need a lot of practice but
will give you a considerable advantage over
the survivor team once you got it down!
Tip No. 7: Split up
When playing on the survivor side, it's not
only essential to split up during the match,
to decode different cipher machines, but it
is also crucial to split up when it comes
to opening exit gates.
If there are two or more survivors alive,
you want to try to get to both exit gates,
because usually, the hunter can only go for
one of the exit gates.
Giving the other survivors time to open up
the gate on their side.
Tip No. 8: Roller Coaster
The Roller Coaster can give you that vital
distance between yourself and the hunter that
you might need to get out of the match alive.
We already talked about how important it is
to split up at the end, and here we can truly
see why this is so crucial.
Thanks to the team splitting up, one exit
gate is open, and in combination with the
Roller Coaster, the survivors managed to pull
off a two survivor escape from an almost impossible
to win situation!
Tip No. 9: Jump & Attack
When playing on the hunter side, there are
a few situations in which you can jump down
and attack a survivor.
Landing these hits rewards you with no recovery
time at all.
That means you can keep moving right away
without having to wait.
In this clip we can even see a very well timed
cipher pop to bring up the survivor that was
just downed, but since there was no recovery
speed for the photographer he even managed
to pick up the survivor before she could get
up again!
Tip No. 10: Last Effort
If the hunter hits you, right after you were
rescued with tide turner, make sure to get
as far away from the rocket chairs as possible.
This makes the hunter walk a long distance,
giving your team more time to decode the cipher
machines.
If you are a Mechanic player make sure to
use your doll in the last few seconds before
going down to make sure the doll is decoding
as much of the cipher machines as possible
while the hunter is bringing you to the rocket
chair.
Tip No. 11: Flare Gun Dodge
Be aware of the Coordinator and try to read
her movement.
If there is the chance for her to use the
flare gun, try to avoid the hit by moving
behind an obstacle first.
Getting hit by a flare gun shot will stun
you for 5 seconds.
That is a very long time, so avoiding these
hits can give you a massive advantage in every
situation.
Tip No. 12: Create Time
For the survivor side, it is always essential
to create as much time for the teammates as
possible.
Or in other words: waste as much of the hunter
time as possible.
There are many situations in which you can
do so, but in this example we can see the
Coordinator wasting enough time of the hunter
for the teammates to open up both exit gates,
allowing them to escape.
Also, take a look where she decided to go.
It might seem weird at first, but she planned
to lure the hunter as far away from the exit
gates as possible.
Tip No. 13: Tentacles for Blocking
These tips are for the feaster.
Usually, the exit routes and kiting routes
of the survivors are quite visible.
So make sure to block them with the tentacles.
This forces the survivors to take a longer
route, which makes it easier for you to catch
up!
Sometimes they're even forced to come back
to you, or to receive the hit of the tentacle.
Always keep in mind that the tentacles are
the strongest feature of the feaster.
Tip No. 14: Tentacles for Double hit
Placing Tentacles in clever strategic positions
allows you to hit a survivor with a tentacle
first, and hit it quickly after with a normal
attack.
A spot that is quite common for this is right
in front of the rocket chair that holds a
survivor.
But you can also try to bring a survivor down
with a tentacle when you're afraid of the
last cipher machine is about to pop.
When the survivor goes down to the tentacle,
the cipher machine pops, the survivor gets
up, and you can land another strike to bring
down the survivor yet again.
This is a trick that can really help you during
the end game.
Tip No. 15: Locate Survivors
Another Feaster tip: If you don't know where
the next survivor could be, use a tentacle.
It will fall into the direction of the closest
survivor.
Most feaster players know about this, but
I wanted to include it anyway.
Alright since we had so many Feaster tips
at the end, I'll give you a bonus tip!
Tip No. 16: Use Your Environment
There are a few spots in which you can use
the environment to your advantage.
During the Summer Tournament, we saw the dream
Which blocking the survivors' path between
a Rocket chair and some barrels, allowing
her to bring down the survivors really quickly.
To pull this off needs a lot of practice but
can give you a massive advantage during the
match.
Tip No. 17: Don't rescue right away!
When a Survivor is sitting on a rocket chair,
you don't have to sprint over there to rescue
your teammate right away!
You'd instead want to wait before the rocket
chairs countdown almost hits the halfway mark,
or before the rocket chair takes off.
Why would you want to do that?
To waste more time of the hunter.
The longer you wait with the rescue, the more
time do you, and the rest of your team have
to decode, while the hunter is waiting for
you.
And that's it!
