Stealth Freddy Build [AKA is Dark Devotion Buffed!?]
Thinking about the new perks and maybe having a new Freddy Build.
- Dark Devotion
- Nemesis
- Play With Your Food
- Surveillance/Discordance/Detection Perk [Maybe Slowdown Perk Alternatively, like Ruin or Pop]
I want to try this but I don't have the perks unlocked yet. Theories on this?
Dark Devotion will activate every time you hit the Obsession. Nemesis applies Obliviousness, but this makes it so EVERYONE can't hear your terror radius, not just the Obsession.
Play With Your Food will let you grind out some speed so its easier to creep up on survivors and maximize your ability to surprise people without Dark Devotion running out. On the third token, you hit the obsession, losing one token, but then you teleport to a generator, which will lose chase and give you that token back.
Here comes the fun part; ideally, you'll teleport to a generator you know isn't being worked on but is nearby one that's being worked on. This will close some distance to survivors on a gen, but won't notify them by spurting blood from the gen you're TPing to.
With Nemesis, this essentially allows near-constant feeding of PWYF and constant potential candidates for Dark Devotion.
This allows Freddy to cover distances and saving valuable time for Dark Devotion. Maybe even allowing you to reset it quite often as you can force stuns and hit new obsessions as often as possible.
Invisible Freddy, best Freddy. What do you all think? Who's gonna test this?
Comments
I'm not sure that Nemesis will work with Dark Devotion the way you think. Dark Devotion simply shifts your terror radius to the obsession, so all survivors hear a terror radius coming from the obsession as though it were you (including the obsession themselves). Nemesis will apply Oblivious to the obsession, so they won't be able to hear the terror radius, but everyone else will be able to hear it as normal, only it will be coming from the obsession, not you. That could still allow you to sneak up on people, but I'm not sure Nemesis is really a necessary component of the build. It will allow you to change obsessions, of course, but only if you get blinded or stunned, which doesn't seem to be part of your plan.
I understand Nemesis. Easily changing your obsession is vital to continuing to surprise others with Dark Devotion, and doesn't require you to tunnel hit a single survivor.
I understand that it will apply Obliviousness to the single survivor, but it will still confuse other survivors, since they're usually running away.
Also may have an unintended side effect of Dark Devotion; since the Obsession is Oblivious, they may not even realize its applied and will go about their business trying to find a fellow survivor.
May be more useful than I thought.
I assumed you were intending to change your obsession a lot for the plan to work, but you hadn't mentioned how you would go about that. So is getting deliberately stunned or blinded part of the plan?
Yes. During chase this shouldn't be too difficult, as they'll use up their pallets trying to get away, naturally.
Furtive Chase could be a good alternative but not as instant as Nemesis.
Play With Your Food also prevents being looped around the whole map, as PWYF can deny longer loops, especially at 3 stacks. So I think with some patience and good awareness one could pull this off pretty well.
Weakness is, obviously, lack of slowdown perks.
Could be a fun build, though. You'll have to let us know how it turns out once you get the chance to test it!
