Although I'm far from a great huntress (around rank 7/8 on huntress only account) I find BBQ and Chili a great perk if you're accurate, Thanatophobia due to meta and her ability to injure multiple survivors at long distances, Iron maiden mainly for opening lockers faster, aswell as for some reason many survivors try locker jukes against huntress AND counters people hiding in lockers because of bbq and chili, and a choice between hex ruin, blood warden or pop goes the weasel.
the build that’s sort of “standard” for Huntress is bbq and chili, nurses calling, whispers, and hex ruin. Bbq is amazing for long distance shots, and just ingeneral for tracking. Huntress is 110% speed so knowing where to go next is extremely helpful for map pressure. Whispers can also provide that extra information, and help to fight against extremely immersive survivors with her hum radius being bigger than any terror radius. Although with the change to her directional hum, I’ve been running other perks for fun. Discordance and bitter murmur work just as well too.
Hex: Ruin is the best slow down perk for the beginning of a match, even if it gets destroyed, it’ll stop generators from being completed too fast in order for you to get your first knock down. I’ve tried other perks like pop goes the weasel, but nothing does the trick like ruin.
Nurses calling is really good on Huntress, since she can throw hatchets at the aura of survivors she sees. Also survivors seem to forget a lot that the hit box doesn’t change when they heal, your character looks smaller but you can still hit them as if they were standing.
I wouldn’t use Iron Maiden on huntress, although the locker animation can be dull seeing it all the time it doesn’t really save that much time. Although if you wanna be super fast put on the gloves add on that allows her to grab hatchets faster and Iron Maiden, it’s insane.
Ultimately you should experiment, Huntress is such a fun killer and not low tier so you can probably get away with not using ruin in the mid ranks.
