    Infectious is a must. If you can keep the pressure on it's very valuable. Combine this with Monitor & Abuse and you've got screams within 40 meters of you.

    Sloppy butcher is also a must, as it benefits your power.

    Finally for me it has to be BBQ. There aren't muc better perks than it, and it can help you decide which gen to pressure.

    I've already answered this sort of question before with my opinion on a post asking what perks are good on him rather than what builds. So i'll just copy and paste my answer here if it helps:

    "Infectious fright is a no-brainer, and that paired with m&a can be very helpful when slugging to continue using his power. Oni has a surprisingly quiet terror radius so m&a also heavily helps sneak up and get your first hit (the hardest part of oni). Pop is also pretty good as he can usually get to any generator he needs to kick quickly. Corrupt is ok for his weak early game, but you might not need it if you have m&a. BBQ is pretty decent because if you have your power ready, you know exactly where to go and can get there very quickly. Sloppy is ok to hopefully keep them injured for longer, giving you more blood. Knock out is ok, but there are better."

    I can give you a standard build to work with, it covers all bases and gets the job done pretty well. Some of the perks you chose are ok, but they don't "contour" with The Oni's strengths, so let me suggest another alternative when you play him.

    What I suggest is Corrupt Intervention, BBQ & Chili, Infectious Fright, and Pop Goes the Weasel. Some would say that Pop Goes the Weasel is too "unfair", but that's subjective. I'll give my reasoning for each perk below, without going too in-depth with it.

    • [Corrupt Intervention] - [The Plagues Perk] (This perk is primarily used for The Oni's starting "down time". The Oni needs hits to start charging his power, so Corrupt Intervention is just a way to stop any early gen rushing that might happen at the 3 farthest gens from your spawn. At Tier lll, Corrupt Intervention will block these Generators for 120 seconds, which is more than enough time to get a few hits and charge your power "Yamaokas Wrath".)
    • [BBQ & Chili] - [The Cannibals Perk] (You could say that like Infectious Fright, this one is a no brainer as well. BBQ & Chili is very useful for pretty much every Killer, but For The Oni it's helpful when tracking your next target, especially when you have the ability to use your power and Demon Dash to that target. As far as tracking perks go, this is a must have for Killers that have great mobility.)
    • [Infectious Fright] - [The Plagues Perk] (I'm sure everyone has already told you WHY you should use this perk, but let me elaborate a bit more on it. Infectious Fright is a mixed bag, it's mostly used on Killers with one-shot powers and also great mobility. Killers like Michael Myers can use Infectious Fright effectively when they're in Tier lll, but The Oni and Hillbilly shine the most with this perk. Once you down someone, you can be notified of any nearby Survivors within your Terror Radius, and with your AMAZING mobility as The Oni... It's a great way to chain down multiple Survivors.)
    • [Pop Goes the Weasel] - [The Clowns Perk] (This is another standard meta perk, it reduces 25% of a Generators total progress when active, so using it on Killers like The Oni and Hillbilly will give you a lot more time to go back to any Generators that're almost complete, especially after a big chain down. If you're playing The Oni, and you're going for a pretty "meta build", than this perk is for you. There's no going wrong with this perk on any Killer.)

    ending statement

    You could try swapping Pop Goes the Weasel out for some creative combos like Sloppy Butcher, Monitor & Abuse, etc... But for a general Oni build... PGTW is very useful.

    I hope this perk combo helps, especially with the explanations and info on which DLCs these perks come from. Stay safe out there, see you in the fog...
