Best Solo Queue Build For (Almost) Every Victim! | The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

[@Stephalump]

Update: Because of the recent patch fixing Endurance, a lot of these builds will be different now, I'll likely do an updated video with Endurance much more prominent as it's a very good stat now! These builds are just my opinion on what'll get you out of most solo queue games alive. Let me know your opinion on them! Favoured Proficiency too much? Underrated Endurance? X perk should be Y perk instead? Lemme know! If they fix the weird scaling with Endurance these builds will change quite a bit, but for now these are what I'd pick on every victim (except Danny, sorry Danny players!) if my aim is just to escape

[@snowblack2263]

it all comes back to your team comp and the enemy. maybe if i was against johnny LF etc i wouldn't be comfortable having low toughness.

[@G4YANE]

whats up with the endurance scaling now u got me curious

[@Stephalump]

@@G4YANE It scales quite poorly beyond 26, it has a nice effect on stam drain from running, but generally you'll be dashing when in trouble. The regen doesn't increase by as much as you'd expect beyond 26, it can still be useful, just not as useful as putting it elsewhere imo Also it makes a weird jump between 25 and 26, with a massive increase in regen at 26 over 25

[@G4YANE]

@@Stephalump ohhh wow thats interesting

[@TheWildCur]

@@snowblack2263I’ve put Connie up to 45 toughness and she still does quick. I just think it only works for certain characters.

[@TheLeviathan356]

I really like the little box with the current victims on the top left of the screen, helps to understand the state of the game from the viewing perspective without just hoping the scoreboard gets brought up.

[@Rj-pw7zs]

Hour long video let's go! I keep forgetting to mention that I really like the little cards you put up at the beginning of the match showing the map, family combo, and victim team. It's a really nice little touch. I like running through in my head what I would do while watching and that information helps me do it.

[@Stephalump]

Thanks! I added it because when I was watching other peoples vids, if I had to go do something, I'd forget what was going on in the game if I came back to the video. Figured other people might do that too!

[@anac9013]

Explaining the build, demonstrating it with a game and leaving time markers is very practical. I like it a lot! BTW, editing to say that Leland game with the Sonny was great! hahahaha

[@Stephalump]

I'm glad you liked that part! I normally cut to the outcome, but those 2 were great so I had to keep it in!

[@kab4218]

I just started playing this game and I’m having lots of fun. Watching your videos has just been making the experience a lot better since I’m new and the leaning curve is challenging. Thanks for the videos

[@Stephalump]

that's so cool, I've been worried about how this game is for new players, glad you're enjoying it!

[@Thatonedude12T]

Solo que,I got against the sweatest family members as victims with hands that allows everyone to camp an exit.Than I play family and get sweaty victims and trash family.Also witnessed a hands use his rip stall on a valve than I did the dude almost immediately after and he ripstalled that too just before I escaped

[@Stephalump]

The Sonny game had him ripstall car battery as we left, then ripstalled the fuse even though barely any time had passed, it was why I was so sure Julie was out :(

[@Thatonedude12T]

@@Stephalump I was talking about a recent game I had on the mill lol.Hands literally used his rip stalk not even 45 seconds apart

[@ValentineGrimCC]

2:34 Stepha: Well... Connie: Indeed.

[@Stephalump]

the amount of times I say an unrelated "well" whilst jumping down a well is getting a bit weird!

[@beautyschoolbydeftones]

Good builds! I loved the explanations and it's very well edited. I use similar builds, but I change some things like attributes. With the goal of high damage in the family, I always value a high toughness (39, 40, 45) and proficiency I don't see big differences so I use 35, 40, 45 For those who want a cool build for Danny I recommend: Fast Hands, Jump Start and Exit Strategy/Sanguine Shadow. 40 into Toughness, 45 into Proficiency, 25 into Strengh and 26 into Endurance and base Stealth

[@Stephalump]

yeah the proficiency to toughness is definitely fine to mess around with, and its not a big difference on either stat, so it's just personal preference I think! And thanks for the build!

[@thatonellamawhoissoobsesse8138]

11:39 nice double barge! You got em into a group hug!

[@Stephalump]

Johnny really feels like he could use a big hug tbh, I was just helping the family bond!

[@AYEBROUPTO]

I like Maria she’s bit hard to get used to but she’s actually pretty good I use the perks, MUST HAVE BEEN THE WIND, TALK AND RUN, BOMB SQUAD with 10 points into endurance and 18 points into proficiency level 1 reduce cool down ability, level 2 decrease sweet talk duration, level 3 additional grandpa sonar

[@SavoxYT]

Just want to say something about the Leland build: 48 proficiency is actually the same as having 45, so you should probably put some extra in toughness.

[@Stephalump]

You're right, i've been looking at stat breakdowns recently, I'm considering doing another video with some corrections. As there was a few improvements we could make attribute wise for a few of the builds. The main focus of the video was where to put your points and the perks to pick, but if you're maxing out the builds there's definitely more that can be done. Thanks for the correction!

[@JMGderSchnitter94]

u can optimize connies skill tree and have 30 attribute points with the 3 perks u highlighted

[@Stephalump]

I had a feeling I'd be able to squeeze more attribs out, good spot!

[@Khristian-bj5st]

A cool ability for Maria instead would have been “Spirits” or something among those lines. Like you can summon spirits to raise your attributes, stab grandpa or do fuse , generator , valve , and battery. This would be like you summon a spirit of the family’s past victims and use them to your advantage. So just say you are trying to do fuse and your the last survivor and you summon a spirit and they do the fuse while you fight the family but if the spirit is hit by the family it disappears and you have to summon a new one. Get it?

[@ilikeflamingos69]

this is NOT ghost busters

[@Stephalump]

its definitely a cool idea, but I think it's a bit too far into supernatural stuff for TCM. Maybe not for Maria but for some sort of mystic character

[@G4YANE]

btw in anas build you can choose to go left 2 times instead of left then right in her skill tree to get an extra attribute point and still keep the same perks also for marias build why no sell over what doesnt kill you? i havent played since the game was just released and im not so familiar with perks and attributes scaling so i kinda need a bit of help

[@G4YANE]

now that i saw your what doesnt kill you maria build im guessing you already took that into consideration

[@Stephalump]

WDKY is a great perk and fits in nice there, I take No Sell because Maria is pretty vulnerable to Leatherface without it. The other distraction characters have a way of dealing with him with their ability, but Maria doesn't. If there's no Leatherface, or you're comfortable with avoiding him, WDKY is a great choice! Nice spot with the Ana build, I had a feeling I could get more attributes but didn't see it

[@G4YANE]

@Stephalump ahhh thank you so much!! ive been trying to get more familiar with builds and this video really helped! so glad you put this stuff out to help people get the hang of things otherwise i might just be doomed

[@user-cd6sh4ne7d]

Solo Q de víctima es injugable 😭

[@rayne9600]

why do you not play sissy? or do you not play family as a whole? genuinely asking no hate involved :)

[@Stephalump]

I've played Sissy for literally one game, and she just doesn't resonate with me at all. Everytime I consider it I just think... well why not just play Hitchy instead? It's the same issue with Johnny, if I was in the mood to play Johnny, I'd just play Leatherface instead. Since they have similar jobs but Leatherface is just better at it (imo!) As for playing Family, I don't play them much these days, I sort of went from a 70/30 split in favour of victims at the start of the game, to probably 95/5 in victims favour these days. This is mainly due to the channel, my Family videos tend to do very poorly compared to my Victim ones (although funnily enough my highest viewed video by a long way is a Leatherface one!). So I ended up just not making any Family videos, which meant not playing them much either

[@rayne9600]

@@Stephalump ohh okay! tyy :)

[@TheWildCur]

@@StephalumpSissy is great if you like being the blood runner but I feel the same otherwise. I’d just rather play Hitch.

[@iamkingdrip]

Don’t even have extra drip on half of em or bomb squad 😂

[@Stephalump]

Bomb Squad is equipped on literally everyone that has it available, Extra Drip is only missing on Leland and Virginia, might be worth actually watching the video before commenting on the builds

[@bahhiyihisthequeenofkpop]

extra drip isnt even that good

[@noahriggs455]

It’s not available on all characters but on the ones that can get it, he put it on them lol 😅

[@iamkingdrip]

These builds are trash nowhere near meta 😂

[@Stephalump]

Real constructive! I'm sure you will change everybody's mind with the excellent points you made!

[@noahriggs455]

maybe you’re just trash & not every person has to run meta perks. I run some weird ass builds & get out 9/10 in solo
