NEW Tricks To Make You *INCREDIBLE* At Puppeteer 🩸 Evil Dead the Game Guide for Puppeteer

[@SwingPoynt]

twitch streams -> www.twitch.tv/swingpoynt Also. Not sure If i mentioned it. But the Power Possess also causes a MASSIVE amount of fear per hit. Use it to get some survivor possessions in!!!

[@themegadude900]

Does it stack with the perk to increase fear per hit with possessions?

[@Gudtymez]

Pupp basic has a longer combo that isnt too bad: LHLHLLHHLHHH->explode

[@RemOmni]

You can also do Light into Heavy repeatadly with only the cd from the swings this is what I've been doing to not have the animation but good to know you can do 3 lights into heavy.

[@todangtall]

"If someone comes at me with there head ripped off, I would try to get out of the way." Solid advice in general.

[@alejopallares7164]

Wonderful video,as a puppeteer main i knew most of the tricks, but really love how you showd the potential it has . Also one more tricks is that if an elite unite spawn a clone you can power possess that clone and instantly create another clone and increasing the health of the clone you are possesing making it more useful

[@thequietman9820]

Same here. I knew everything already, but one extra tip I would give, is at the beginning of the match, when you have kandarian fury perk, it's best to possess a basic unit on the map already and run towards the survivor. Obviously make sure you know where the survivor is at first and then go back to possess a basic unit, but by the time you get to them, you'll be dishing out lots of damage.

[@sam7259]

Elites are so ass once you go against competent teams, it seems the only current viable build is a fear-inducing basic unit/survivor possession build.

[@Danakun]

Awesome video, very informative. And thank you for the credit for the slam, something you absolutely didn't have to do but did anyway and I super appreciate it.

[@char7035]

I found out that Eligos's rock throw actually tilts downward. If you want to hit a survivor from a distance with it you need to aim your camera upward.

[@agikai_]

That Dan Slam is a great tip. Usually I feel so weak during the very final objective, now I know I can do crazy AOE damage without having to rely on Eligos.

[@yvesgomes]

"The way to counter it is to dismember their arms, because they can't rip their head off unless they have both arms." I'd be proud about hearing this from a game as the devs, lol.

[@TheGameneo]

A big BIG bug that is important to know is that you need 40 energy to power posses any unit else it will go on cool down without actually possessing anything. Allegedly, what is happening is though power posses costs nothing to posses, the coding works that it checks if you have 40 energy for a normal posses then uses that and immediately refunds it back. So if you don't have 40 energy it won't work.

[@alexb6483]

A longer combo chain (but harder to remember) is Light>Heavy>Light>Heavy>Light>Light>Heavy>Heavy>Light>Heavy>Heavy>Heavy Granted, you can just stop the combo at any time and you won't fatigue it it becomes a poor idea to commit

[@imnoterik6525]

Another tip: Power possessing an elite unit decreases ability cool down time! From 12 and 15 seconds to 7 and 8. An elite group can't dodge 3 lightning strikes with the amount of clones you swarm them with. I do the split to lightning wait 3 seconds and got the split going again.

[@kori1218]

That light-light-light-heavy has been a massive help! Puppeteer is my go-to demon and the weird animation thing has been a massive pain in the ass. Really appreciate the tip.

[@tacticalteamkilling6539]

This comment did not age well.

[@An_Glare_Oh]

@@tacticalteamkilling6539 they patched this right?

[@dabing116]

@@An_Glare_Oh yes actually the LLLH make taunt animation when you end combo. Actually if you don't make animation you can HHL and w8 2s or dodge and w8 1s for the combo reset or if you use L or H you gonna make the animation. But actually the max combo is LHLH or HHH but you get animation for this combo

[@lilgamerguy]

I really like speccing into survivor posession on Eligos, with power posess attacks causing fear and your scarier demonic dash, you can rack up fear levels in the blink of an eye, and then that Henry with a legendary sledgehammer is suddenly the biggest threat to his entire team. Stack test of time with the other skill I can't remember the name of that slows down the objective timer by *40%* while you're posessing a survivor, and they're gonna be there all day while you drain their resources.

[@jtkelley1873]

You’re awesome. Amazing. Super. Duper. Fantabulous. Know that? Cool now you do 😎

[@cliqinheads7545]

I was confused on why you didn’t spek into reducing the amount of energy it takes to possess a unit, until I tested it out in a game and it only reduces it by 6 points on the 3rd tier. The more I know lol. Oh and a tip with eligos, stop moving to bait out an attack. Most survivors don’t except it or will dodge early thinking your about to attack. Same with every unit bait out an attack by running at them, it’s like waiting for dead hard in dbd but more punishing if it works.

[@miguelbaez2728]

Always do this, nice tip for newer pup players.

[@richardmenz3257]

If you have hunters that instant shot when you go visible you can bait out shots then attack them while they reload double barrel. Idk why people say eligos is weak vs hunters it seems like the opposite to me.

[@miguelbaez2728]

I've been doing everything you said except that Dan slam and actually getting the combo down. Pups will always be my main and fav. They're really good just takes a different style to play. Love how you show cased them !!!

[@lucrative6477]

You put out the best videos on this game by far.

[@thereaversden6847]

I'm on a 40+ Win Streak with Puppeteer because of Elites and Eligos. Basics are only used with range on explosions for extra chip damage. My Elites at max are absolutely beefcakes and complete counters to Hunters. And power possession.... Had no idea it had a cooldown reduction built in. It's glorious. From 15 second lightning bolts to 7 seconds. That said, it is very good to see more utility to their basics. For the longest time I have felt they are pretty much useless.

[@sam7259]

You actually get value out of demi eligos aoe? Must be getting bad teams, 90% survivors will dodge mine. The only time they do occasionally get hit is if I've possessed an elite behind a car or outside a house they are in. Other issue is they suck at combat and cant sprint turn.

[@Argowar3198]

Ohh I was wondering why I had really short lightning bolt cooldown at times. That power possess really does a lot. Do you use elites from a far? I feel like their melee is somewhat weak

[@thereaversden6847]

@@sam7259 I don't hit every attack but with my Elites, unless a team is kitted out with Legendaries, they can just be pests in power possessions. They can have a high health pool with the ranged damage reduction and a pretty meaty balance bar. Especially with the rake attack. I like attacking people who are distracted with my Demi-Eligos. The running heavy does alot of damage in one blow and can be followed up with a light. But at 7 second lightning bolts, I'm bound to hit a few survivors. It's all a war of attrition. Eventually, they will run out of supplies. Most of my games end by the Dark Ones. It's seldom that they end at the Necronomicon. Also, Trap investment is pretty key to the Elite build. The more traps you can get em to trigger, the more lightning you will have raining down on them. It's sorta of a chain of events that can snowball a team.

[@thereaversden6847]

@@sam7259 I also drop basics but they are more of a distraction then anything else. Eligos usually cleans up once I down a Survivor or two with elites.

[@thereaversden6847]

@@Argowar3198 I like to attack enemies from behind with the running heavy attacks. It normally does about 200 and staggering or balance breaking with guns is really challenging to do. Bear in mind my Elite is maxed and is outputting 20% more damage per attack and a total of 45% more when in power possession. Hit and run strats are real good with Demi's. Avoid Melee damage as much as possible and they are near unbreakable for Hunters.

[@FMJ_UKReaper]

Love the video, oddly ive had more wins using Puppeteer than i have as Warlord and Necromancer haha

[@Gumgumgamer009]

Ok I don’t wanna overstate this and more than likely they were new survivors but after I watched this video I immediately played puppeteer and I felt a flow with it I definitely didn’t have before. Thank you for this, always love and underdog like puppeteer getting some love

This build and strategy is working very well for me. Almost too well. The matches are so short, I'm not getting any duration XP!

[@aaronpoisson]

I trying your build, but I’m loosing way more with this build than my previous build which focused on AOE damage with elites and slowing down objective timer more.

[@zakrogerroger5490]

Amazing video tutorial, you deserve a lot more of an audience!

[@Kryminalia]

great basic oriented build! thats what i was looking for a longer time with eligos :D

[@Shaggit]

Quick questions about Puppeteer for you guys. I know basic units have the Self Destruct ability and that they can boost this with Demonic Demolition and Berserker Blowout. Do these skills also apply to their passive skill which reads, "Deadite Berserkers explode when their health runs out." Is this the same as their Self Destruct or technically a separate effect?

[@MyouKyuubi]

solid video, my dude, keep it up! :)

[@kanikmesh8870]

Brother! Maxing out basics explosion radius and dmg (but have low health and stamina on them) so u can spawn 5-10 at a time.. they can't dodge every explosion and it raises their fear. Forget elites, 1 in the area with 10 basics is too much dodging for survivors And dope video!

Did they remove the light-light-light-heavy combo that negates the stupid animation? Because trying it today, he still started beating his chest.

[@GampoEC]

I really do like puppeteer, I just wish the basics weren't so suicidal.

[@theinternetman1]

Great video once again.

[@hatefulcupcake460]

I think I might be using my elites a bit differently then others. I never possess an elite puppeteer unit I just let them run wild being ai controlled. I do control heck out of my basics, which force the survivors to choose between my ai elite or my power possessed basic it's a lose, lose for them. If the chose to come after my basic the ai quickly clones themselves and use thunderstruck on the group attacking me, and if they chose the elite then I'm free to keep focusing on their support character until I drop them quickly.

[@aikouwuu]

16:18 sneaky reference lmfao

[@yourmicrowave7112]

Personally I liked the puppet as a new player perspective, I play necromancer way more but the puppet is just a different play style in my opinion. Focusing mainly on possession

[@knowbodyknoes9105]

Puppet is my main and good to learn the melee trick with the basic units! Is any other puppet player having trouble with power possession not happening and going on cool down when you try to use it fast? Alot of the times I twitch around to possess an elite from a fresh spawned trap and the button goes off, cool down happens but then I get no possession...

[@omengod1]

yeah power possession is abit janky. ive found its best to wait a second after a unit has spawned before pressing the button

[@vel5724]

It's a bug for some reason the coding is still looking for the 40 energy with power posses and if you don't have it, you just get flashed out and it puts power posses on cooldown

[@Nerevar5me]

Haven’t played this AT ALL and I’m pumped to see you break this s#%^ down.

[@IgorSadovskii]

good job :) i will try

[@hardboiled2987]

You can do something similar with evil ash too. Normal combo is 4 but if you use your revive ability the moment your 4th hit lands, you can extend it to 8 hits without the sword flourish animation. Its disgusting lmao.

[@WiredGuitars]

60%

Seems like most of these tricks have been patched out of the game. The light x3 + heavy attack plays the stupid animation afterwards, throwing your head at the ground doesn't seem to do shit to anyone surrounding you, the rock throw attack barely does any damage unless you're pinpoint accurate... the Puppeteer is pretty much useless, I guess I'll just stick to the Necromancer.
