Which killers have only good addons that are expensive?

Aka which killers don't have that good cheap addons and only good addons are rare and above?

I think probably Pinhead since his yellow and brown addons does very little to nothing. Then probably Trapper... Idk. Anyone else?

Comments

  • Freddy - Paint Brush (thats it)

    Trapper - both Iri

  • Demogorgon doesn't really count but his best Add-On is Leprose Lichen, so I'll mention him

  • I agree with you for Pinhead. Trapper definitely has a lot of expensive good add-ons, but some of the cheaper ones you can make work as well and are good.

    I would also maybe argue Oni. His uncommon and commons are not great and his purples and greens are pretty good, I can't tell though personally because I usually only slap on cheap add ons or none. Just from my observations from survivor side seeing other onis.

    Hags best add ons are green . The yellows and browns do the same exact thing just not as well. The purples and reds suck too.

  • Blight.

    CP 33, Iri. Blight Tag, Alch. Ring, Adr. Vial, Blighted Crow

    The only cheap one is Blighted Rat, but on it's own it's not really an issue.

  • Myers.

    His base ability is hilariously bad. His purple and iri addons make up for how bad his base ability is and empower him to actually be a force that survivors fear. Further, he has a number of different addons that change how his ability works, giving him multiple play styles.

    Myers' addons are as good as Pyramid Head's addons are bad. They're the two extreme ends of the spectrum and show how bad the team has gotten at designing addons over time.

    Michael Myers sucks without a pink/purple. You can only really play him with Iri for infinite T3 or purple tombstone piece. In either case these must be paired with a green addon for stalking (either generic for all or increased rate vs the obsession).


    Clown is really only a threat with pinky finger.


    Nemesis can play every game with one yellow+one brown addon for zombie speed. His Best addons are purple zombie speed+Yellow Zombie Speed. Both his Iri are pointless.

    Michael's Green bow is one of his best addons it extends your t3 a ton and only requires a little more stalking.

    Literally nobody thinks that. The pink version is better for infinite t3.

    That's very presumptuous of you. The pink version takes 200% stalking to get permanent tier 3 where as you get the green for 90 seconds a pop at 50% more only on the first time you get tier 3. It's actually extremely efficient to run the green in concerns for time. Permanent tier 3 takes so long you are likely to have had 3 gens pop if the survivors aren't terrible and feed you stalk.

    i like his hair bow better than inf3. inf3 takes so long to stalk that your basically playing without a power for 70% of the game since hitting a survivor defeats purpose of instant down for the entire game, so your never hitting anyone, but forces yourself to stalk to get t3. I prefer hairbow because you can balance your stalking. you can stalk in places where it is low-wall loop to milk the survivor. it gives enough chances to try get mutiple hits within a single tier 3 while not throwing the game just to activate your ability. your not really going activate his tier 3 more than once or twice per game vs efficient generator teams.

    some myers don't use hairbow or inf3 because they prefer to 99 their EV3 and play like ghostface with his memorial flower+J.Myer. its kinda weird because your constantly pausing your own chases to chases to stalk and you will run out of stalk doing this. I don't really get the point because you might as well just use Tombstone piece and 99% to instant kill a survivor.

    Then you never played a Shackle/Ear combo Hag. Both those add ONS make her a nightmare to face

    I have but to me the deafened one does nothing against experienced surv and the rusty shackles doesn't give me notifications like regular hag traps going off so I miss them

    I use them at Gens to create a nice trap for them the shackles keeps them from realizing they triggered a trap and the ear keeps them from hearing you when you emerge from the ground. As you said the deafness dosnt affect skilled survivors so that usually means they don't notice until it's too late lol.

    That depends entirely on how good you are with MM. In two of the last three games I played him I got infinite tier three with four generators left. The other game I got it slightly later.

    You can look at all the big name streamers and the pink/purple addons are the ones they talk about that make him good - not the green bow tie. Otz, Truetalent and Coconut have a ton of expertise between them. But what do they know?

  • Hunktress has 2 good iri ones afaik. Though she also has other good ones.

  • Nurse and Spirit

  • I can’t play spirit without expensive addons. Always purples and pinks.without them her power feel so slow and short and takes forever to recharge.

    Myers scratch mirror and perma tier 3 tombstones but his other addons are still kinda good

    blight and wraith have strong expensive addons

    pig will always be strong with tampered timer crate of gears

    sadako is only strong with expensive addons.

  • I feel like everyone really under-estimates some of Billy's addons (going to be covering the lesser used ones of course)...

    Apex Muffler (Ultra Rare) is really good when paired with Leafy Mash (Rare), it allows you to really pop off against survivors and is really good in maps or loops that dont have wide line of sight areas.

    Iridescent Brick (Ultra Rare) is super gimmicky but can work given the right build, it's not a bad addon and never really sees much use outside of archive challenges.

    Lo Pro Chains (Very Rare) is a really good addon for Billy since it forces survivors to play around safe pallets a lot to avoid getting hit, also good if you want to break a bunch of pallets in a short time (within close proximity), just overall a really good addon.

    Tuned Carburetor (Very Rare) is a very, very underrated addon for Billy, it turns Billy into a 110% movement killer but significantly increases the charge speed of your chainsaw. This can be both good and bad, however, you can use it to remove the drawbacks of the Doom Engravings (Rare) and Death Engravings (Uncommon). It also makes Billy's worst maps (Lery's, Garden of Joy, Eyrie of Crows, etc) a lot easier to deal with.

    Leafy Mash (Rare), despite being mentioned earlier with Apex Muffler (Ultra Rare), this addon has a unique interaction that makes it worth using... Starstruck. The Undetectable status effect can be used as a way to buffer the exposed effect from Starstruck. Typically when people see Starstuck, they move out of the way to avoid going down, but you can use Leafy Mash (Rare) to buffer the exposed effect and put survivors in a more favorable place to get hit allowing you to get a lot more value from it.

    Mother's Helpers (Rare), this addon's activation condition is a lot easier than that of other increased charge rate addons, only requiring a pallet stun to increase your charge time. Charge rate addons typically remove the control you get for feathering your chainsaw, but since it's only 18%, it becomes useful but not an absolute hinderance to your ability.
