It's been a week, here are all the counter/tips against The Twins that i have found.
Let me just say this, everything here is not just from what I have heard or seen, I have been playing KYF and going against the twins at least once a day. Everything here is simply what i find that works against the twins or gives you an advantage and yes i took the hotfix into account. Hope this helps some of you guys!
- Prioritizing healing your team, victor isn’t very threatening when all he can do is put a survivor in an injured state with oblivious. If you keep up with healing he can’t apply pressure well and when they switch to Charlotte the killer has to go all the way to your location to continue the chase.
- Don’t take off victor especially if at least half your team which includes you is injured, instead get away from where you got hit and your team and go do saves if someone is hooked. Keep your eyes open and avoid the direction victor came from as Charlotte probably will come from there. The best area to stand by at is near a gen no one is on at a pallet. Without victor she has no power for at least 50 seconds (Include the time it takes for victor to regenerate).
- Stick together in pairs especially if a survivor is injured, if victor misses a pounce or downs the injured survivor make sure to crush him as he is stunned then heal the survivor. Taking a hit for the injured survivor is an option but it’s better to let them get downed if you have a healing perk active and can pick them up before the killer reaches you. Wglf is a god tier perk at this.
- Use lockers even when victor can hold you in lockers unless charlotte is near you she can’t punish you for it. This simply puts a stick in the killer's pressure and Charlotte has to go all the way to you and get a hit, down, or grab which is better then getting downed by victor then him going over to latch onto another survivor. Unless you know Charlotte is too far from you, don't go into a locker unless you're injured. (victor can hold you in for 10 seconds AND charlotte is slowed from “waking up”, from a post i believe she will get you if you are around 34 meters near her.
- Get good at crushing victor if victor misses a pounce he is crushable for 3 seconds. If victor misses from a short range or on top of you don’t go for him unless he hits an object and is close enough to crush him. If he misses and he landed next to you, obviously crush him.
- Don’t be afraid to do a gen charlotte is on when she is controlling victor, just pay attention to her and when she is being controlled run. You will gain plenty of distance due to her long slow down even with addons to speed up her recovery. Also if you are near victor and Charlotte is switched to you can run and crush victor before she can switch back if you are close enough usually it’s if you can still hear the shrinks of victor during the switch.
- If Charlotte blocks a pallet, if she can be stunned, consider doing it. it will force her out of her power but only do it if you're injured and at risk of getting downed. If you get hit by victor and you are healthy just run and gain as much distance as possible. Don’t bother taking off victor it will stun you and isn’t necessary since you can still use vaults/pallets. If you take him off which you shouldn't she will just send him after you again.
- If you REALLY want to just avoid getting hit by victor you can drop a pallet and stay on the opposite side crouched against the tallest part of the pallet, this makes it so he can’t hit you unless it’s a perfect pounce as in he basically lands on you or however that requires more distance than normal so if you see a victor trying to do that simply move away from the pallet and when he gets close go back to crouching. Obviously crush him if he fails. I find that this works some of the time like a 60/40 chance but not all the time, don't use this too often.
- If you and multiple survivors are on a gen that is almost done and victor shows up don’t stop repairing it. Whoever gets hit by victor needs to get away from the gen to a safer area as charlotte has to stop the gen but she probably won't be able to since she is more than likely 30+ meters away. If victor downs a survivor repairing the gen with you crush him and finish the gen before trying to heal the survivor. One hook is not equal to one gen, focus on what's more important.
- If the killer camps, saves are still possible to pull off unless it is in the basement. The twins are good at this if you let victor have the power to do so, keep yourself healthy, don’t take off victor, let your team do gens. There is no winning unless victor is camping the survivor but if Charlotte is camping you can make it so they either commit to the camp or leave since you're holding onto victor.
- If victor is camping (not at basement) don’t go in injured, let a healthy survivor do the save and wait until victor latches onto you otherwise he will down the unhooked survivor. If you have WGLF let that happen and just crush victor and heal the survivor. The best thing to do is circle the hooked survivor or other object and try to get him to miss this also wastes time and you might crush him, victor can’t switch back to charlotte near hooked survivors use this to waste the killers time.

Also yes i have been playing the twins a lot as well but not in KYF mostly public games. These things do hinder me when i get survivors who do them.
The biggest reason I usually won games was from survivors not playing well combined with their lack of understanding how to play against this killer. even survivors who just did well objective wise but not against the new killer were still very hard to win against.
