Anyone have advice on playing twins?

HoodedWildKard

Just picked them up with iridescent shards, love the design and their backstory is very cool. But I've never played against them as surv, and my killer mmr is throwing a lot of good teams at me atm and i know the twins are mechanically supposed to be very difficult to play. Any dedicated twins players got advice on what strategies/builds to use?

I haven't played Twins in a while so I don't exactly remember my build but you can find out what perks are generally good on them and what add-ons to use on this website:

Yeah sure, don't.

Sorry, I know this wasn't a helpful contribution, but I'm shocking at playing her and she's in a weak spot currently, so not much constructive advice to give.

🤷‍♂️ i mean yh, kind of expected to get a reply or two like this lol. But nothing more rewarding than getting good with a weak character and making it work for you.

Only advice I can give would be to look up Lynxi on YouTube as she is a Twins main and has a few "how to" videos on playing them.

I've only really played them for dailies but what I did play they seemed fun but definitely underpowered... And that's coming from a Trapper main 😅

For playstyle, the optimal position to be in as Twins is with everyone injured and spread out enough so they can't kick Victor when you down someone but close enough that you can slug multiple people. Therefore as Twins you should aim to spread pressure through injuries and prevent people from healing.

For perks you can experiment with different builds but I generally don't take off Shattered Hope and Sloppy Butcher due to how strong Boon: Circle of Healing and good medkits can be against twins. Avoid terror radius perks like Coulrophobia, you have no terror radius when you switch to Victor so it's hard to get value from it

For addons I'd recommend Toy Sword (Strongest addon, lets you pounce faster) and then either Stale Biscuit (Decreases the cooldown on pounces) or Tiny Fingernail (Lets you pull out Victor faster)

Few tips for Victor:

• Don't pounce while on stairs, you'll either instabump into the ground if a survivor is above you, or you'll jump over the survivor if they're below you
• You can pounce over dropped pallets and windows
• If you have 2+ survivors injured then try to avoid pouncing on a healthy survivor that looks like they know how to play against twins, they'll hold Victor hostage long enough for the injured survivors to reset (Unless the injured survivors are next to the healthy survivor trying to reset and Charlotte is far away and no Circle of Healing is in play, then pounce on the healthy survivor to generate more pressure and prevent then from healing as fast)
• If you hit a survivor with endurance they just go into deep wounds and they can crush you afterwards, make sure to bait out Dead Hard

Few tips for Charlotte:

• If you can get an easy down with Charlotte it's faster to M1 than to pull out Victor and wait 8 seconds before you can pick up after downing with Victor
• If you're getting blinded you can pull out Victor to instantly see again

General tips:

• When you're switching between Charlotte/Victor, look towards the other so that you can quickly figure out where you need to go
• Having 4 survivors injured as Twins is more pressure than having two healthy and two hooked survivors, always spread pressure
• You're going to be slugging way more than with other killers, keep track of who has unbreakable

They've got some really weird rankings there: Stale biscuit B-tier? Shelter woods more survivor sided than all the Autohaven maps? Cowshed as killer sided as Midwitch? Haunted Grounds and Starstruck stronger than DMS and Shattered Hope on Twins? Insidious somehow all the way up in B-tier?
