A Demogorgon Build to Counter the Survivor Meta

Demogorgon with Save the Best for Last, Unrelenting, Bamboozle, and Fired Up.

  • Demogorgon's Shred for fast pallet breaks and for injuring/downing the Obsession without losing Save the Best for Last stacks.
  • Unrelenting for jukes and for Dead Hard. Now, you can swing to bait out Dead Hard on your own terms and be able to recover quickly instead of waiting for the Survivor to be ready with their window/pallet/bodyblock follow-up.
  • Save the Best for Last is great vs Borrowed Time. Get free stacks from hitting Borrowed Time, and recover quickly with a high stack count to keep the pressure on.
  • Bamboozle to shut down "God Windows" and vault right behind Survivors to keep up instead of detouring.
  • A little help from Fired Up as gens get rushed. Helps with vaulting, breaking gens, et cetra. Plus, it combos well with Save the Best for Last to counter flashlight saves (between the fast recovery after downing a Survivor + the faster pick up speed from Fired Up).

Edit: Added jukes to Unrelenting

    The current Survivor meta is second chances. Speed will help recover and make them spend their chances faster and sooner.

    That sounds like a horrible build imo. You can also wait to bait dead hard, and if the survivor is close to a pallet or window he will always make it with dead hard, there is nothing you can do about. Just eat the pallet and thats it. And fire up is mostly used to break pallets faster or vault but you dont vault that much as demo cuz you try to bait survivors to vault a window to use shred while they vault kinda like huntress does. And you never break pallets with space bar.

    Bamboozle is decent but not needed, as I said, you want to bait survivors into windows so it is a free hit and with bamboozle you will block your own free hit strategy.

    I don't Shred window vaults because I want Save the Best for Last stacks

    Yeah and that is how you lose alot of pressure ^^ You should not relie on that perk that much.

    Bamboozle is a very bad perk and sort of a crutch in a way. Whenever I see a killer using it it tells me that they don't know how to properly run that tile and there's nothing stopping me from just using the pallet or going to the next tile. If a killer vaults a god window it doesn't really do much since good survivors won't abuse the window and just use it once to get some distance and go to the next loop. You shouldn't be chasing survivors at god windows anyway unless you're Nurse.

    "Sort of a crutch?"

    XD

    You're concerned that I'm trying to counter 3 or 4 perks that ARE crutches using a perk that is SORT OF a crutch?

    My argument is that it's not even a good crutch and there's so many better perks to run other than bamboozle. It's honestly not a good perk at all. Even something like enduring would be better

    Bamboozle killers are predictable af

    They always vault the window
