Toxic squads are a pain when you're new. But eventually, you'll learn that they are usually more bark than bite. These groups tend to be predictable and have easy counters to boot. Let's focus on the flashlights for now.

Flashlights can be used for only the following:
- Flashlight Blinds
- Shoulder Saves
- Burning The Wraith
- Burning The Nurse
- Burning Phantasm (Hag) Traps

Knowing this, let's move onto counters.

The Wraith can only be burned while he is in the spirit world. Just uncloak before charging the flashlight person and you'll be good.

The Nurse can be denied the ability to blink while the flashlight's light is on her. So to counter this she can just start charging blinks early. Alternatively, if the survivors got cocky she can always just lunge at them once they're close enough.

Hag, unfortunately, has no counters other than maybe using a Minty Rag to manually teleport to traps being affected.

So for general flashlight blinds/shoulder saves we have 2 types of counters available, perks, and knowledge.

In the perk area, there are several perks that make using Flashlights harder or riskier.
- Lightborn increases your base resistance to blinds and helps you recover from a successful blind faster.
- Overwhelming Presence makes using flashlights consume 80%/90%/100% more charges than normal when used within your terror radius. (Provided you can regain control before the blind is complete you can move your head to chew through their durability.
- Franklin's Demise lets you just knock a survivor's item out of their hands and also removes 0%/5%/10% of the item's base charges. (If you can get a lucky pallet lunge you can sometimes lock their item under a pallet. When this happens I strongly encourage you to never break that pallet regardless of the consequences just to make these "bullies" realize that they need killers in the game.)

So if flashlights seem to be a common thing for you, consider grabbing one of the above perks.

In terms of game knowledge, the key thing to know about flashlight blinds is that in general, they require timing and space to pull off. For example, if you down a survivor next to a wall, or just near a wall in general, try to grab them while facing the wall. By doing this you make it harder for the blinder to get in position to blind you. Additionally, if you suspect that there is a blinder lurking nearby and you have no perks or walls to help, do a quick circle around the downed survivor and see if anyone is nearby. If you do find anyone just give them a smack and usually they run off to heal.

To summarize countering flashlights without perks:
- If a wall is nearby, just face the wall while you pick up the downed survivor, the closer you are to the wall the better.
- If a wall isn't nearby, spend 10-15 seconds quickly patrolling around the downed person making sure that nobody is hiding just around the corner to blind you.

That's all I got. Good luck!

What if when playing Wraith I get burned while I'm uncloacking? It happened so many times I don't even care anymore. Otherwise these are great suggestions

I absolutely agree on the Trapper, he should be able to carry at least 2 traps even without add-ons, and he has way too few traps around the map, I feel like he needs some more

Perk wise, Hag is the better option due to Hex: Ruin alone. Hag is also a bit better killer than Clown is. Both are solid options, but unless you REALLY like Clown..Hag is a better option due to having Ruin and being a slightly better killer.

Slightly? She's leagues above the Clown. She's the 3rd best killer. Nurse, Billy and Hag are way too powerful for the rest to reach except maybe Spirit.

Nurse and Billy are obviously #1 and #2 but Hag and Spirit are pretty interchangeable. All four of these killers have one thing in common, map pressure. They can traverse the map more easily than the other killers and have an easier time catching survivors. I don’t see how Hag is any better than Spirit. Hag is only REALLY powerful if you use Mint Rag with Make Your Choice.

After those four, Huntress and Myers are easily the top of the mid-tier killers. Clown is up there too but he’s nowhere near Hag.

You don't understand Hag if you think she's only powerful with Mint rag and MYC. I play without them and do extremely well. Clown sucks. His base sucks, he's ez to genrush. For me it's Nurse, Billy and Hag/Spirit (joint).

But trust me, Nurse, Billy, Hag and Spirit are all viable without perks or addons. I've tested them all.

I was wrong when I said Hag was only really powerful with Mint Rag and MYC, I just haven’t run into MANY good Hag’s in red ranks. She is a rarity as it is with the Billy/Nurse meta. My experience of Hag players hasn’t been the best because they all seem to be potato.

I’m still leveling up my Hag because I’m certainly making her my second main killer after Spirit, I just can’t play without Ruin three. Gens get done WAY too quick not to have the third level of Ruin. The top four killers are viable without perks and add-ons but any killer is going to have quite a hard time without Ruin unless the killers can apply insane pressure and the team is too altruistic. Gens get popped like crazy.

I play pretty much all killers, I will confirm that Hag even without add-ons is very powerful if one knows how to use her, I played only once with Mint Rag, I had a f_cking great time

I gotta level up my killers and put better perks on them. I usually play Spirit and Huntress who are both viable without add-ons if you’ve got good perks. Hag, Myers, and Nurse would be ones I’m really interested in playing though.

Hag doesn’t NEED add-ons but with the right combo of perks and add-ons she can be very powerful. I played with Mint Rag once before too but I don’t have MYC and I made a nooby mistake of placing more than one trap in one area so it screwed up my teleport. I still got a 3K though.

Since you play all killers, who is your personal favorite? I can only assume Wraith since that is your profile picture.

I absolutely love Wraith, he's not as weak as people say he is. The killers I don't play as are Leatherface, he really is weak, and Huntress, I absolutely suck with those hatchets. I started playing Nurse a few days ago and I got my first 4k with her today, the survivors didn't play very well but I'm still proud of it.

You're the same as me. Btw, Nurse is super ez if you memorise your blinking distance, a survivors speed (to judge how far they go) and how long you gotta charge. Shadowborn is ez mode on her so get it. And try to blink at a corner because some survivors like to wait there for u to go past it and they'll mindgame you. Make sure you study the survivor you face and be careful with Jungle Gyms.

That's my tips :P

Thanks. I'm trying to get Shadowborn but I can't find it

in Why is farming so common and what do you think about it Comment by LCGaster February 16, 2019

I can say for certain that killers are not overpowered, except maybe Nurse if played correctly. The hatch is a problem because the killer can do nothing to counter it unless the survivor is an idiot. And about infinites I don't really know what to say, I wouldn't say that there are infinite loops anymore but most can take the killer a long time to end and cost him/her the game.
Since you say you are a "trash killer" I would like to ask you about your rank if you don't mind

Howdy my friend,

If you want me to reply please quote me so I receive a notification, I got back to this post because I was looking at my old comments.
With what I said I meant that this killer idea is bad and you don't give us any kind of numbers. This idea is basically a better at stealth but worst at everything else Wraith/Pig. How fast is it? 115% or 110%? How long does it take for it to become visible/invisible?
This killer is also extremely unoriginal, a mix between Wraith, Pig and Freddy.

Have fun out there

I wouldn't focus on "tier lists" or what are people saying about this or that killer. Personally, I find a lot of killers viable at R1, without establishing a hierarchy between them. It's just a matter of willing to put some hours into them. Map layouts play a bigger role in the outcome of a match, IMO.

I think of DBD as boxing, as in styles make fights. Here, playstyles make matches. Some people happen to be good with Spirit, mindgames and all. But there are people wrecking the place as Freddy, Wraith and LF, too.
