Is it the classic stunning Jane build, the Boon Mikaela or maybe a full power struggle one for Ash? Especially if they are over-tuned to the max, committing to the theme over synergy and better perks.
I go through phases were I only play a special build which matches the current main. First was loot goblin Elodie, then a smashing Jane and some floppy Ash in between.
Currently I run medic builds on Rebecca which are ridiculously over the top.
Even though it's completely countered by Plague, it feels so rewarding having Autodidact ramp up. (Especially against sloppy Thana-Legions!)
I always take one aura perk with me. If I want to play offensive and get Autodidact online early, Empathy is great. Want to lay back and mainly do objectives? Swap it for Empathic connection. Although randoms often ignore your aura in favour of self-healing or objectives.
Bite the bullet helps you heal more safely and even close to the killer. I usually heal others first, so it also masks my noise.
Better than New boosts others and also gets you faster backrubs in return. Also, I like healing. I think it's neat.
Do you have similar over the top builds for specific survivors or themes?
