[@sh6rpshot]

Thank you so much :) and I know lithe would fit the theme of the vault build more, but I just think sprint burst is far more superior and you get much more use out of it outside of chases, considering this can also be a good stealth build with spine chill

*talking about a vault build* Continues to reason using Sprint burst over Dead Hard while Lithe exists

[@sh6rpshot]

Good point😂 I’m personally just not a fan of lithe, and the build that I put up isnt JUST a vault build because you can still do gens quick with resilience, and I feel like you get more use out of SB than lithe :)

[@Flaco_828]

@@chandlercagle so whats better with it dead hard or sprint burst??? I honestly got away faster with sprint than dead hard when the killers always go back to the hook

[@ryzacraft]

Sprint burst is better then dead hard. It’s more reliable and with spine chill, you can see when the killer is heading to you and can use it to get to a loop ready to loop the killer. Dead hard can be used but it limits your ability to sit on a gen as some gens, especially late game when pallets have been used, can be really unsafe and dead hard isn’t enough to get you in position go loop the killer

[@sh6rpshot]

I used to run this same build, minus iron will bc I use ace lol, I took DS out of my main build because I felt that I don’t get tunneled enough to get good use out of it which is sad because it was one of my favorite perks :/

[@AgentJordie]

Iron Will is such a simple but an incredible perk. I just started playing killer for the first time and I'm catching so many survivors just based on sound alone.

[@sh6rpshot]

Yes, sound is everything in dbd! It’s a must have perk, unless you play Ace because he’s the quietest survivor in the game

[@trat441]

My favorite build is probably No Mither, Flip Flop, Tenacity, and Iron Will + a toolbox. It’s always fun to use No Mither and sometimes I’d switch flip flop for Mettle of Man or Tenacity to Breakout/Saboteur and make the toolbox a sabotage one just for fun when I don’t wanna just do gens all round like I normally do with the build. Edit: Also for the 15% vault build I kinda do that except I change Sprint Burst and Iron will to Lithe and Dance with Me.

[@sh6rpshot]

I love using no mither builds! And yes a lot of people run lithe on the vault build to fit the theme, I just feel that sprint burst is a better exhaustion perk overall!

[@Vetikah]

I recently made a build comprised of Balanced Landing, Iron Will, Soul Guard, and Deliverance. My rationale for these is that Balanced Landing turns a huge weakness (falling from heights) into an incredible strength, which is not seen with many exhaustion perks. I’m partial to Soul Guard cause it’s a hard counter to NOED slugging but also prevents you from getting farmed after being healed from the dying state. Deliverance is just a great clutch perk overall, and it synergies well with Soul Guard because I have one perk for being picked up and one for being left on the ground.

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s a pretty good build! I’m personally not a huge fan of BL because I think you can get more use out of lithe, SB, or DH, but I can see it’s appeal, all the other perks work super well together and make a solid build though :)

[@mistakezfps]

Dead Hard, Decisive Strike, Iron Will, Unbreakable, this build is so OP

[@sh6rpshot]

This build used to be soooo much better pre DS nerf, but it’s still really solid now :)

[@ryzacraft]

Sprint burst, iron will, kindred and unbreakable is the best solo build imo. Sprint burst let’s you get to loops when you know the killer is coming to you and let’s you commit to gens a little longer before running. It can also help when you have to do an unsafe gen. Iron will makes you silent when injured (unless they’re running stridor) and can help you escape the killer. Kindred let’s you see all other survivors when someone gets hooked. It also lets you see when the killer is coming to you after they hook (which is where sprint burst can come into play too). It also means randomers can see if someone’s going to save you or if the killer is camping you. Unbreakable can be good if someone saves you without BT and you go down, but the killer respects DS. It can also be good if a killer is slugging you for the 4K and gives you a chance at the hatch. Medkit is always the best solo item too

[@sh6rpshot]

This is great! I think unbreakable is a great replacement for DS, because your right some killers will still respect DS even though barely anyone runs it anymore :( the rest of the build is really well rounded and will help you in every situation!!

[@linebeck1381]

I run Kindred, Iron Will, Inner Strength, and Small Game. Inner Strength and Small Game combo counters Ruin, NOED, Devour Hope, Undying, Sloppy Butcher, Nurse’s Calling, the Trapper, and the Hag.

[@sh6rpshot]

The new small game and inner strength combo is going to be really good! Being able to easily find totems is going to be really nice :)

[@linebeck1381]

@@sh6rpshot yes it is! But remember: the new one won’t counter trapper and hag anymore!

I cant wait to use lucky break, quick and quiet, Iron will and Inner strength. Another great video btw.

[@AppleFish]

The new Lucky Break with Iron Will and Quick and Quiet is going to be insane!

[@sh6rpshot]

Thank you so much :)

[@kingol4801]

@@AppleFish It is going to be good, as it always should have been. Lucky break was intended to hide you while injured (and has a lot of counterplay to it). It did not work, as leaving blood trails does not REALLY hide you.... Now it actually does, which is rather neat.

[@plague682]

As someone who is still bad at surviving, i find that using Iron Will, Calm Spirit, Tenacity, and Unbreakable serves me best out of my other builds on other survivors. It lets me be able to hide when injured and even in the stupidest ways too. I might sub out Tenacity for Urban Evasion when i get it to tier 3 to really have the build that suits my play style best. I run many different builds depending on the survivor i.e on Claudette, i run Lithe, Self-Care(cause a lot of the time, no one heals me), Borrowed Time, and Empathy. Once i get all the teachables that i can i will definitely try running those builds and see how they do, because they really seem good for survivability

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s a super stealth build! I agree adding UE instead of tenacity will be more stealth, I would also recommend maybe swapping out calm spirit or UE for an exhaustion perk like sprint burst, because those are really important for your survival!

[@plague682]

@@sh6rpshot i will definitely try that, thank you! I just tend to run CS because i run into a lot of doctors and people who use Infectious. I don't really see Spies being run, but hey an extra defense for that lol

[@Drachendrac]

My current general build is: Borrowed Time, We'll make it, We are gonna live forever and a free slot, which I often fill with prove thyself. It's an altruism build, where when you unhook others you gain 2x healing speed in general for 90 seconds, so you can fast heal if the killer isn't near or if the killer is near you have BD for the safe rescue. On top you gain another 2x boost on healing survivors in the dying state, which can be very useful with We'll make it, so you heal dying survivors, who get slugged 3 times the normal healing speed. On top you get a lot of bloodpoints, which rewards you saving people in all categories. It is imo the best build for altruism actions, where you can add another perk on your wish to support that even further or just a good perk for yourself, like sprint burst to get to hooked survivors fast

[@sh6rpshot]

I made this exact build in my play style video for the bloodpoint build! If you use prove thyself, you’ll be swimming in BP every match 😂

[@Drachendrac]

@@sh6rpshot nice :D it's also a good general build, which rewards playing with your mates

[@adumbledoor394]

Great video and great builds. The last build is also an excellent template for a BP build. WGLF as the fourth perk, and you probably have the most consistent BP farm build for survivors. And in my opinion, consistency is the most essential part of BP farming since you want to keep your average BP per match high to maximize your BP per hour.

[@Achillieas420]

Thank you for this dude! Just started playing dbd really enjoying it and this helped out a lot! Subbed

[@sh6rpshot]

Thank you so much! I’m glad this video helped you out, and welcome to the dbd community :)

[@j4ve58]

My build is old but still work : decisive strike, dead hard, borrowed time, inner strenght or self care and some other variations with the last perk, prove my self is also choice.

[@sh6rpshot]

I used to run this build until DS got changed! I don’t find DS to be super useful anymore, so I switched it out with prove thyself :)

[@kevh9610]

I usually use Sprint Burst, Self Care, Urban Evasion and one that let's me see auras of other survivors when they're injured (think it's called sympathy, or empathy, I forgot the name). Let's me be stealthy though and keep an eye out on the map and where the killer is (from the injured survivors) and then the speed for getaways. And self care for obvious reasons

[@sh6rpshot]

You were right it’s called empathy! I would maybe try and use a medkit instead of self care or use empathy to go to injured survivors so you can heal eachother, you’ll find that they extra perk slot in the lower ranks helps a lot!

[@memed5831]

why do none of the meta builds have alert it is such a good perk it’s just hugely underrated

[@Elite_Spartan_42]

Its good for information but other than that it's not worth a slot really

[@peewee6187]

Because why have a sound ontop of the sound already from the game let u know about the killer when u can use Spin chill and just peep your icon flashing

[@dadamek8]

I'm not a big fan of your meta build, because yeah, all 4 perks are good, but they kinda lack synergy in this build. - Prove Thyself helps with negating the gen speed penalty while repairing with other survivors, but how often are you repairing a gen with somoene? I think you should always run an aura reading perk with it (like Bond, Better Together or even Kindred). And even then, it's usually a better idea to spread out and do gens on different parts of the map at the same time. - Inner Strength is an amazing healing perk, but you need to find a totem first which might waste you a lot of time (especially on maps like Midwich), so I think you should always run it with Small Game or Detective's Hunch. And it's just a crime not to run perks like Quick & Quiet and Head On with it. - BT and DH are fine, they are good on their own. I would just swap Inner Strength and Prove Thyself for perks like DS, Iron Will, Unbreakable, unless you wanna pair them with some good synergy perks (Prove Thyself + Bond etc).

[@sh6rpshot]

I’m play solo queue, so I actually find myself on gens with other people a good amount, and I don’t know why, but at the start of games when I don’t spawn next to a gen, I go on a rampage trying to find a hex totem nearby while traveling to a gen, so I usually find a couple dull totems😂

[@naoxehn3318]

Best Perk Build for me: 1: Spine Chill (can't play without anymore, just got toooo damn adepted to it) 2: Autodidact (most fun healing Perk in the Game and can also become Clutch really fast, also Pairs great with Spine Chill) 3: Lithe (Best Exhaustion Perk in my Eyes, you can use it on demand not like Sprintburst for example and it also give you a nice Distance not like Dead Hard) 4: Borrowed Time / Prove Thyself / Iron Will (last one adepts on my Situation. If i am in a SWF with Players that are worse than me i tend to take Borrowed Time so i can be a Hero. Prove Thyself if i know my SWF is good at chasing and i might end up doing 5 Gens. Iron Will if i am playing alone and feeling stealthy)

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s a really good build! You have really good variations with your 4th perk too :)

[@AppleFish]

For rat plays, I do Fixated, Sprint Burst, Kindred, and Borrowed Time. I also really like running Dead Hard, Iron Will, and We'll Make It.

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s a solid build :)

[@leonardo_rosa158]

Good video man! My meta is Iron Will, Dead Hard, Borrowed Time and Unbreakable

[@sh6rpshot]

Thank you! That’s an awesome build :)

[@gacharunner6202]

Ok so i havent tested this out yet but: Bond, Spine chill, Prove thyself and Resilience. So what you do with this build is Gen rush and get an easy escape from the killer.

[@SenkoVT]

- Gens are already flying i dont think u need an additional Perk to further boost that just find another survivor and get some coop points - Inner strength is kinda bad, the more people run it the less heals u get, especially with Ds being a niche perk now people have to get creative and use this or other perks more often . - If u can use Dead Hard without being exhausted on the ground it can be a really good perk - no complains there, its one of the few perks who barely have any requirements which is good. - Borrowed time even after the change is still Huge, very powerful and pretty much a must-have if u want to queue into a solo match. dont be the guy spinning in circles, be the cool guy who sneaks up and safes you with borrowed time ;) - now that no1 uses DS its even more important to get the unhook right. i like to run Sprint burst, iron will, borrowed time, we gonna live forever. with the wglf + bt combo u are pretty much guaranteed to get a token while also an ace in the hole when no1 else has BT. Sprint burst is very unique and has no requirements it safed my ass more than any other perk, especially since theres no spine chill in my build i can atleast get a headstart. Iron will is too good to not run it but u could replace it with safe care ( survival points and healing after protection hits/safes ) Bond is nice to know what the randoms are doing and u can get a heal from them instead, kindred is a great option as well

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s a great build you got there! I love the BT, WGLF combo, when I’m grinding blood points I use that with DH and prove thyself for even more BP!

[@zhivakavor3452]

W0nderLord : My Main Build is Deliverance, Decisive Strike/Borrowed Time , Unbreakable , Soulguard\Sprintburst(or Dead Hard)

[@zhivakavor3452]

What do you think about this Build ?

[@sh6rpshot]

I think those are really good perk variations for the build! My only recommendation would be keeping either SB or DH in a permanent perk slot, and one perk combo you could run could be an unbreakable + soul guard combo so you can revive yourself from the dying state and be protected, and pick another perk of your choice like BT (that would be my pick) Another option you could run would be to have your exhaustion perk with BT + deliverance so you can get that easy safe unhook, and pick another perk like unbreakable! I would leave out DS in my opinion because it isn’t really useful anymore since the new update :/ overall it looks really good though!!

[@zhivakavor3452]

@@sh6rpshot I agree , Deliverence Decisive Strike , Unbreakable and Soulguard is the Build that fits me but the only problem with this is when I used ALL perks like DS , Unbreakable Soulguard and Delivernce then I’m pretty much a Swf with no Perks, But I agree with everything, DS is kinda inconsistent

best build is fixated with sprint burst on a sneaky outfit and avoid chases at all costs, just focus on unhooking and doing gens and you'll rank up. If you focus on being chases you can't expect people to save you, they might even let you enter struggle on 1st hook, even on red ranks

No worries! You usually don’t want to be running 2 exhaustion perks at the same time, because they both use the same exhaustion meter. So I’m the example of DH and sprint burst, when your exhaustion meter is up, chances are SB will be used over DH because you’ll be running more!

Love that build! Deliverance is a really good perk, I just got mine in the weekly rift :)

[@verxizy]

@@sh6rpshot It really is another build that I like using is ds,deliverance,soulguard,unbreakable

[@verxizy]

@@sh6rpshot I like your “meta” build i’d switch off inner strength with either ds or iron will

[@sh6rpshot]

Thank you! That second build is also really solid, soul guard can come in really clutch with unbreakable!

[@jackblack2100]

I’m currently running dead hard, unbreakable, quick and quiet and Iron will. I was wondering if that’s a good build or if I should make any changes

[@sh6rpshot]

It’s pretty good! I would say change either iron will or Quick and quiet out for something else, no need to have 2 stealth perks on that build (iron will should be enough!) I would swap it out for prove thyself or an information perk like kindred :)

[@pyro5hadow771]

I’m a jake main and my go to build is Iron Will, Bond, Adrenaline, and Spine Chill

[@sh6rpshot]

Cool build! I would try swapping one of the perks for an exhaustion perk, maybe between adrenaline or bond?

[@cookieking725]

My build is any exhaustion perk, alert (which I think is really underrated), iron will, and one random perk mostly DS

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s a great build! I agree alert is pretty underrated, it gives you a tonnnn of info :)

[@arbuziec6424]

i use bt iw lithe unbreakable pretty much since when i started

[@sh6rpshot]

Really good build! Those perks are always going to be really strong meta perks, so your gonna have a great build for as long as you use it :)

[@BergMF42]

I have the 15% vault speed with life and the Feng one that let u see the killer when he break stuff, is that good or i need to change? (Obv i use others perk build)

[@sh6rpshot]

I think lithe fits the vault theme of the build really well! Alert is a pretty good perk so this build is overall great, but if it were me I would probably switch it with either borrowed time if you unhook a ton of people, prove thyself if you focus more on gens, or an information perk like kindred or empathy :)

[@peewee6187]

I hate how slow feng is but i always survive with her (kindred, spine chill, lithe, borrowed time)

[@kingjj7210]

I use 1. Deliverance 2. Sprint burst 3. Ds 4. Unbreakable In the higher ranks I would swap something out for borrowed time

[@sh6rpshot]

Great build!

[@schwifty4769]

My build is borrowed time,dh,prove thyself and ds. I know you recommend inner strength instead of ds for a meta build, but can u explain why?

[@sh6rpshot]

Of course! DS got nerfed really bad to the point that you’ll never be able to get use out of it, you’re going to have to go out of your way to get a use out of DS, which sort of defeats the point of having it in the first place. I replaced DS with inner strength on my build because inner strength is imo the best healing perk in the game because you basically get an instant heal everytime you cleanse a totem, so you’ll never be stuck healing yourself in a bad spot with a medkit! Let me know if you have any questions I hope this helped clear things up :)

[@charliewright1539]

Great video! You don’t have to answer, but I’m currently running Borrowed Time, Iron Will, Prove Thyself and Sprint Burst. I feel like I should replace PT, but idk what with and if I even should? Regardless, I hope your channel continues growing. :)

[@sh6rpshot]

Thank you! I actually think that build is just fine the way it is :) if you’re not a fan of prove thyself, you could run a blood point perk like we’re gonna live forever, a heal perk like inner strength, or an info perk like spine chill or kindred!

[@kingol4801]

Adrenaline is one very solid option. The only problem is that you might not even benefit from it if the team is doing not too well - it amplifies your success a lot, but does not help you when your team is failing. Alternatively, For sneaky escapes, you can run “Tenacity” in conjunction with Unbreakable - recover fast, crawl away and become impossible to find once slugged with Iron Will. It is a very fun thing when it works (and the higher you go up the ranks, the more slugging you will encounter), as you, pretty much, avoid one hook state, which is huge. Inner strength is good for self-sufficiency. No need to rely on potato teammates for heals. Decisive strike is a borrowed time, kinda, but for yourself. Even after the nerfs, in soloQ, it will be super useful.

[@theunknownartist521]

My favorite build in dbd is Iron Will+Resilience+ Spine Chill+ Dead Hard or Lithe... Because I do like to get chase and with Iron Will I could escape easy or with RS and SC I got 15% also with the 15% speed on everything if the killer be looking at me a lot...

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s a great build! :)

[@Snoby136]

Also 1 really good build is: 1. Dead Hard 2. Adrenaline 3. Resilience 4. Iron will

[@sh6rpshot]

Yes! I would swap in spine chill to get the really good spine chill resilience combo :)

[@PygmyPuff02]

I’m sorry if this is a very dumb question but, I have a level 50 meg can my bloodweb still refresh with other perks?

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s not a dumb question! At level 50 everytimr you complete the bloodweb it resets and stays at level 50, so if you had gotten a new teachable it will have a chance to appear in the level 50 bloodweb! Let me know if that answered your question :)

[@PygmyPuff02]

@@sh6rpshot can I also get teachable perks from other survivors by playing those? I’m trying to get borrowed time from bill to my meg.

[@sh6rpshot]

Yes you will, if you unlock the teachable in bills blood web, it sill be available in every survivors blood web! So everytime you update the level 50 blood web there will be a chance that bulls perk pops up :) Another thing to add, the level 50 blood web can show a max of 3 perks, so if you’ve unlocked all of the available perks for that character, every time a new perk becomes available, it’ll pop up immediately in the next blood web!

How do you get your perks to have that blue and purple color

I made a video on my channel called “how to get custom perks in dbd” that goes over how to get custom icons:)

[@alexbartlett5118]

I'm rank 4 survivor and I have to use spine chill no matter what cus I'm not the best looper so I need that headstart in getting away. I always use adrenaline too cus whenever I don't use it, I always regret it. I've been swapping my final 2 perks recently because I don't know what to pick between iron will, BT and dead hard / (inner strength/self care if I have no medkit). Anyone got suggestions which 2 out of BT/DH/IW I should use? Bear in mind I'm not the best at looping so getting away from the killer is important

[@sh6rpshot]

It sounds like you play in a SWF, so if you do I think you can get away with not using BT because your hooked friend can tell you when the coast is clear. I would definitely use an exhaustion perk so use DH, and then IW as your last one!

[@AppleFish]

I'm not a good looper either so I usually run Fixated, Sprint Burst, Kindred, and Borrowed Time. Kindred is such a great perk. I can hardly play without it.

[@a.sullivan985]

I use Alert, Resilience, Iron Will, and Lithe.

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s a really good build! Fengs perks are pretty solid, in my opinion I would replace either IW or alert with SC (probably alert because those are both information perks) so you can take advantage of the 15% vault :)

[@a.sullivan985]

@@sh6rpshot I do like Spine Chill a lot for the speed increase. Mostly just depends on which survivors have which perks unlocked.
