Play with your food
Hey guys,
on the occasion of PWYF being on the shrine (I just bought it) I was wondering a few things.
Which killer is it fun on? What counts as a special attack? Is it just a fun-to-use only perk or are there viable builds around it? Since I don't have the AC killers I lack some of the perks so I probably couldn't use most builds around obsessions.
It would have to be a killer with abilities that aren't all attacks or special attacks so i was thinking trapper?
Any other suggestions?

Nemesis+play with your food bubba. Special attack still lose a stack.
Every offensive action (so basically everything that can injure/down a survivor) burns 1 stack even if you miss (due to a 360 or fast vault for instance).
PWYF works great on instadown killers as it makes it easier to close the distance quickly thus reducing the chance of the survivor to reach a pallet or window in time.
PWYF by itself requires some luck. The obsession can potentially be an immersed survivor. As a result you would play with 3 perks most of the match which is why PWYF is often combined with Nemesis as this allows you to get a new obsession everytime you get stunned.
However you basically use 2 perk slots just so you can get a little more movement speed IF you take your time collecting stacks.
Collecting multiple stacks requires you to break chase so you have ti waste time (collecting stacks) to eventually save time (by getting quick downs).
PWYF is a fun perk to use but even with multiple stacks and an instadown killer STRONG survivors will catch on quickly and just camp pallets/windows to deny the instadown/force the m1 or drop it earlier to not become the new obsession.
If you want PWYF Tokens ASAP, Wraith + Nemesis should do the trick.
If you have Nemesis then it's quite easy..
BUBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
(Have a guide on it)
Furtive is the poor man's Nemesis, but both work very well with PWYF for the clear necessity of maintaining an obsession between multiple survivors.
With furtive, you can empower your camp and tunnel game like no other, allowing you to down the unhooked while your new obsession rescuer runs away. You'll usually down the victim before PWYF price, as long as you laid eyes on the rescuer briefly before pursuing the hook. However, you must be careful not to kill the obsession, as you can only change obsessions with an unhook.
With nemesis, you can empower your chases greatly. Usually, you'll see the survivor stunning you, sometimes even if it's from the locker. That 5% boost really makes up for the lost time, and if you want to stretch for enduring, it will make you so sticky, the survivor may become frustrated with your endless pursuit. Unlike Furtive, Nemesis can reinstate a new obsession even if you've killed off your previous obsession! The option to recirculate the obsession after the obsession was killed is what makes Nemesis a far superior perk to combine with PWYF.
As far as killers that enjoy this setup, really any chase heavy killers. Huntress enjoys the extra 5% although quickly spends her tokens on thrown hatchets. Deathslinger can shoot his gun and it won't spend the token until he M1. Bubba is a monster with obsession perks and 3 tokens of PWYF makes him impossible to escape. Any of those kinds of killers that struggle to chase.
Neither Billy or Trapper or even Wraith really don't *need* it. Trapper may be slow, but his traps don't need to move very fast at all, and the other 2 already have significant speed boosts in their base kit.
Freddy, Demo, even Nurse might pass on these as they have alot of mobility.
Spirit is braindeadplay, no perks or braincells required. As an irrelevant reminder, Spirits mind games include standing still, literally doing nothing. So she doesn't need things like perks to help her not move around. Man, I hate Spirits kit.
Lastly, I want to point out how much fun the movement speed is on ghost face and Michael Myers, especially tier one Mikey. It's alot of fun, but not for red ranking.
Ooh and you can break chase by moonwalking! Not too shabby if you want to build tokens mid chase!
