Something I havent heard mentioned, i like when he breaks pallets he never looks down so you watch where ppl go while pallets being kicked

His strength when they're transitioning to another loop might be why one of his perks literally forces them to leave a pallet

Just something I heard in Otzdarvas stream: According to McLean, who showed up in the chat, the double stun on a hit is a bug and is going to get fixed.

Dude I just realised that this killer has six fingers on each hand!

They just need to fix his hitbox issues.

I will main The Blight, no matter where he is on the tier list. I love his playstyle and how he interacts in chases combined with add-ons and some perks, been trying him alot on the PTB. Mostly getting at least 2-3k sometimes 4. He's not the best, but I feel like bouncing around and learning how to use his power makes him fun. Edit : I feel like the brown add-on that shows where you go and turns you towards the nearest survivor is underrated, I've had a lot of success with it.

Anyone who played The Hunter at a high level back in L4D knows the feeling of satisfaction you get after bumping into a few walls and lining up the perfect hit.

for anyone curious: Mclean DID confirm that the lethal rush is always supposed to end with the syringe stun cooldown, on miss and hit. But is not supposed to do the weapon shake animation

I'll admit that I was a bit too critical of his power at first, seeing him run quickly from one side of the map to the other looks cool. Again though, I feel like he should've gotten a different power since I feel like this one doesn't fit his concept, almost like he's just a Legion 2.0. But hey that's just me. 👍

I honestly love the design of blight. But his ability, besides being difficult and time draining, it doesn't fit him imo. I really hope they rework him

15:47 For your question of does this work, this hiding spot typically doesnt work, but hiding on the side opposite the generator typically works from my experience. Generally, this is not a good gen to stealth nearby, tho.

Loving the vids recently, blight looks so hard to play, Looks sick though, might get him

Seems like he could be good, but hard to tell when they're putting outdated builds on the PTB...

TOFU "His power is so bad" Also tofu next day "his power is so good" lol

Can we just appreciate how Tofu hooked 2 other survivors and still got decisive striked? hmmmm.. .

i get where your'e coming from about how his power can be useful in-between tile chases but billy does that and a lot better and then you've got oni, and ranged killers so a lot of killers can be used to shut down the same things blight can but also be used at loops or can do something on top of in-between tile chases.

They should make it so you push a button to collision, if not you keep running, this way you control when it happens and if you don’t collide in enough time that’s your fault and you’ll learn the perfect moments to do them etc.

22:13 he canceled the "drugs" animation picking the survivor up

I love how he leans on his cane when he’s stunned that’s such a nice detail

The fact that he doesn't look down when he breaks pallets is good enough for me.

He seems pretty good for me its just the hitboxes and the turning while hitting with his power are the only problems

I don’t really care about his current state he looks like a fun challenge to learn him, and i’ve seen the clips where he works and it’s so satisfying as well. So overall his strength doesn’t matter to me, he’s still capable of a 4k, like all killers are. I don’t think winning is my goal when playing anyway, sure it makes the experience way more enjoyable, but me personally, I just enjoy learning the mechanics of a killer, which is why I buy all of them and level them all up to at least level 15, that way they can at least be semi-viable at my rank. I just enjoy playing as the the killer. Sincerely, a yellow rank slowly climbing.

I'm gonna have to get used to new badham and yamoka estate maps

Doesn't matter if he is good or not because on the new maps you won't see the survs anyway😂

I think you pretty well hit the broad and fine strokes of ole Spazzyboi at the moment. I am looking forward to his release build, much appreciate the vid Tofu 🤙

I agree with a lot of what you mentioned, including the fact his power shouldn't be used during loops. I've got the most mileage out of it when patrolling the map, closing the gap on a survivor in the distance, or hitting survivors who run away from the current loop i'm in. He's really fun, and the fact he's gonna get some changes soon makes me real excited.

By the way for people who haven't noticed with the "double fatigue" (weapon wipe then syringe after a successful hit while in power), you can pick up the survivor between the weapon wipe and the syringe to get rid of the syringe animation. Also a bonus is the syringe gets stuck in your left arm :) Edit: 24:16 is what I meant hadn't gotten to that point in the video yet

Something I've noticed watching a LOT of videos of people playing the blight, that I haven't seen anyone actually notice in those videos: the camera when you are carrying a survivor looks like it's higher than the camera when he isn't carrying. Like it literally rises up like a foot taller, when you pick them up, and drops again when you hook or put them down.

I love your perspective on things. Instead of just jumping to conclusions and being like "I can't down them in two seconds, this killer is f tier" you actually tried to make him work. Tofu is so great, man. Truly the best vegetarian alternative.

So what I'm hearing is perks that work with him are perks that take out pallets. Enduring, Brutal strengths, Monitor and Abuse, Dragon's Grip. EBS, as I call it, deals with pallets, MaA to find people with rush, and Dragon's grip in case you can't find them. Dragon's grip can be swap for some things I just couldn't find a good perk for him. Thoughts? Edit: BBQ and chili instead of Dragon's grip might be much better

remember, he needs his collision hitbox fixing not his overall hitboxes. if they change his killer hitbox then he becaomes better than any other basic m1 killer because he can take loops tighter than any other killer

Yesterday I saw a comment of someone saying that The Blight is OP and I actually laughed out loud

McLean: "Bounce, baby, out the door. I ain't gonna take this no more."

blight is too hard to compare to the performance it gives in return and especially the pleasures AND a VERY important point is currently the survivors do not know how to play against ...

He literally what buffed legion should have been. Anyone that loves legion he’s literally legion that’s has access to a dash. Honestly I love how mobility. Fast moving killers just feel smooth to me. Not to mention brutal strength combined with make your choice with bbq would make him scary as all hell

They probably should fix the hight of his camera and his hitbox

The corner crouch occasionally does work for me but only on killers who don't pay close attention to detail I won't try it unless Ive been in a chase with them before and have gotten a understanding on how they think

I'm not sure if it's going to make it to live but he doesn't seem to have a lengthy cooldown from missing a lethal rush lunge, making unrelenting possibly a good perk especially in dead areas, if it gets patched we'll just have to chuck unrelenting down the dumpster again

I have read on the forums that McLean mentioned that the changes to the Blight will be a reduction of his collision box size and a fix to his double recovery after hitting a survivor with lethal rush. Can't confirm that myself, but if that's the case, I think the Blight might end up as the next top tier killer among the likes of Hillbilly, Oni or Hag.

Turn the slam into a prompt, so The Blight can wallglide like Oni. Fix the double stun bug too. That, and give The Blight better control over his swings, kinda like the spirit’s ability. That’s all I really want.

Also if you think of it. He seems to be a nurse and legion hybrid. You can even say he is the old nurse but instead of blinks he bounces of things.

Yo Tofu, hiding in the corner on Mother Dwelling House Gen Upstairs works SOMETIMES. The opposite corner works better, and if you have a teammate with you, it almost always works, as the teammate baits the killer into a chase.

It seems really good that you can stop that transition but OhTufu figured that out. What happens when the survivors figure that out too? You could potentially see him flying at you and make a hard turn on a tree or obstacle, negating that distance you gained.

The upstairs stealth play the Jake tried to make has never worked for me before, but there is a spot you can crawl down onto the rocks on the other side that I like to use sometimes!

I've paid for every DBD DLC out, BUT for this killer I'll be picking him up with shards.

The 1st person view of Blight reminds me of Dr. Jekyll/Mr.Hyde. Especially with his short stature, cane, and injecting of his serum. It would really cool if we got a Hyde skin down the line.

People say he sucks and is the worst killer but they said the same about death slinger and then they suddenly changed their minds a day later once they figured out how to use him

about the jake hiding in a corner by the main building gen in mother's dwelling, it has worked for me before, but at the time I was playing blendette and there was an another surv with me on the gen so when the killer came to us he didn't notice me in the corner and started chasing the other surv after kicking the gen and not seeing me, but I haven't tried hiding there solo.

For anyone who needs advice for the blight, m1 first then use rush to catch up to the injured survivor, never use it at loops

An easy fix would be: if he hits wall while using power, then he cannot impact anything for 2-3 seconds, that would eliminate the constant bumping into walls over and over and over

I could be wrong, but I wonder if they messed up the stun, cause like, when you hit someone while using your power, you get a sort of double stun, but missing while using your power leads to no stun. So maybe one of those was supposed to be on the miss? Rather than both being on the hit. I hope my ramble made sense lol

I pretty much agree to your opinion regarding his power. However, waiting between his dash and the power not being used in tiles he still feels clunky to play regardless of his strength. Imo this killer has his issues in UX rather than his strength it self and I hope that the change being implemented would fix that.

Crouching in the other corner of main building in mothers dwelling works for me but not where jake was

They should make it so that the syring he throws is a projectile. It already has collision, just give it a hurt box. Wouldnt make him better but imagine downing someone at the exit gate cause they were hit by your herion syringe, giving you a free kill. Or something similar at a hook.

I think if you imagine it as he uses the walls and surface to bounce off and "parkour" off of it makes sense.

He’s good but REMEMBER he’s not done being touched yet

He needs like a 0.5 second grace period of no collision after every slam so you can at least free yourself from those corners and bushes when you get stuck

I play the Spirit much the same way you play this killer. Transitioning to new pallets is the best way to utilize powers. Or ambushing gens from a long distance. That alone keeps up map pressure usually.

So Blood Favor or his add on equivalent is actually good imo for the killer since you go for hits in between tiles meaning in the 16m radius wherever you got the hit in between the tiles should be blocked

LMcKlean said the double fatigue was a bug that's already fixed Collision has already been adjusted swing speed during rush attack was increased

After you rush with him, you can swing and ignore the fatigue entirely

I think that the situation with his swing and not get a cd is kinda simillar to the Deathslinger when like he hits a survivor with his weapon and starts pulling, but in order to not get stunned by the gun effect when the survivor is about to break the chains, he swings and doesnt get that stun. At least that what i think ( but i also think that the double seringe stun shouldnt be a thing tho).

you say that swing thing with him may be a bug but deathslinger is the same way when he has some speared. if you dont swing you get stunned, and if you do swing you dont. granted when the chain breaks it can do a health state if their full health, but that doesn't matter when their injured.

I wonder if this is what the devs mean when they say were playing clown wrong. Maybe his power is more meant for transitions rather then fighting around the loops

Tofu, crouching in a corner works like 90% of the time for me. Only cus most killers don't check the corners, just depends on which corner.

He should be spreading the blight to survivors. It's deadly to them, but fine for him. I envision something kinda like plague, but her vomit is a permanently decreasing bear trap survivors have to keep cleansing (like regular healing) if they come into contact with it. He can spread it by hitting, like freddy, or by infecting areas like clown (plague might be too strong). For a little extra spice, one survivor per match has blight immunity, but only they know because they will have a marker on their icon during the match. That person can completely cleanse the blight so the survivors no longer have to manage it until they get blighted again. It should take longer to heal the blight than an injury. It transfers if the person dies too. I think the immunity thing is important because that survivor has to be kind of a shield for their team.

i feel like that swing thing should be oposite. If you miss a swing, syringe yourself. If you get a swing, no syringe just weapon wipe. And if you rush and dont swing no cooldown except for the normal power cooldown

Ima be honest I love this new killer and have grinded maybe too many house since he came out, his power right now can actually be really crazy for how much pressure he can put on the entire map. I’m excited to see what changes they’ll do because I already enjoy playing him atm.

I'm probably late to the party on this. but I assume the swinging out of your dash thing is a result of them improperly putting the stun of the dash on the successful swing instead of the failed swing. like maybe you're not supposed to inject if you hit. but they put it on the wrong one.

Honestly, would appreciate it if they made you slide off corners on your second and after use of the power. So you can avoid bumping into the same object's 2 pixels 3 times in a row. Obviously if you make it too forgiving you'll probably end up unable to bump into something when you want to, so it needs to be just right. But still at least a bit of tweaking would be welcome.

I've hidden behind the gen on the ledge of Mother's Dwelling several times, but I was pressed right up against the gen.

I get what you’re saying about using his power for tile transfers but having to use perk slots that aid only in chases when he has a power so suited for map pressure feels like such a missed opportunity since you could bring perks that suit his movement and pressure abilities. Just my opinion though

You ever played pinball Blight: hold my cane

also for some people who dont know. The scream of the gen kicking perk is currently bugged :)

FINALLY a good review on blight's power

I just feel like for a character called the Blight, who we’ve seen in the very first tome and have been excited to come out for ages, who literally has syringes that turn people into nightmare creatures, ‘bouncing off walls’ is a pretty underwhelming power...

The double cooldown is a bug, confirmed by devs. Why would you have a longer cooldown than Nurse on a power thats worse?

I do feel like his best perks is Enduring and Brutal Strength because you just eat the pallet and then what is the survivor going to do? If they stay they are dead, if they try to run to the next loop they're dead.

One thing is for sure. This killer has the coolest third person vault animation!

Yes, the catching them as they go to next Loop, great idea.

I think one of the main problems is that he's in incredibly underwhelming compared to the last few killers.

I feel like the power fatigue thing got switched "bugged" in the ptb... when u swing and miss you should have to inject and when u swing and hit it should just be cleaning the weapon and not both... And I would definetly say his FOV is the shortest of any killer easily. When u go kick a gen your fov is equal to a squated survivor

You should definitely try Barb on him, can probably make it to them before their aura disappears, if not it should be pretty close

Swinging out your power has a cool-down already in the form of a missed attack recovery, hence no fatigue recovery. Also the double stun after a power hit is confirmed to be a bug.

Why has no one ever mentioned that he has six fingers on each hand. I feel like that's super noteworthy.

Imo opinion you can use it at both transitions and loops, truetalent has used the blights power at loops and got hits so you can use it at loops, just not that well. Am i crazy or is the first person camera on the blight higher than normal when you are carrying survivors to a hook?

Crouching behind that gen in mother's dwelling (not up against the wall like that Jake did) has worked for me up to like ranks 3, and it honestly shouldn't.

He gen protect He attack But most importantly he bounce back

I see a lot of people asking why play Blight when you can play Billy or Oni. I have three reasons for this: 1. Oni can only do it once he gets past his early game. Blight can do it constantly. Billy has to worry about his overheat, while Blight don’t really has to plus it’s a faster cooldown anyway (I think it is?). Additionally it seems like Blight has a faster turn speed once you get used to the hitboxes. 2. The add-ons. From what we’ve seen, there might be slight similarities between Blight and Billy in add-ons, but Oni is completely different. 3. Some people don’t give a shit about how similar they are and just want to play the killer because they either enjoy the design, or the lore.

Im glad someone finally tried playing tiles normally. Though without help mid tile, now we are comparing him to killers like legion. Hes got more free mobility to be spamming and counters initial chase distance well, but is that better than legion survivor tracking and a relatively free first hit? Maybe

With the whole no fatigue if you swing at the end of a charge, it makes me wonder about unrelenting as a possibility

So hyped for this guy to go live. His design is pretty cool. He has 6 fingers on his left hand lmfao. Interested in his story

To me this killer would be perfect if he smaller collision, a white bar to indicate your sprint duration, (similar to Bubba) and if he carried his momentum in sprint lunges like Legion does, it just looks and feels weird to have all that speed and just slowing tf down at the swing

His collision should have been against Survivors, causing some kind of putrid hindrance to movement or repair speed. The whole ping-pong through the maps will only reveal a litany of objects to be impacted by, which can't be fixed in a timely fashion. The idea of straight line speed into objects to continue his power is problematic. A narrowing down of his collision field will make extending his power more difficult as you pass by objects you actually wanted to hit. He's a source of amusement for me. New content is usually a good thing but I won't be wasting money on his perks since none help with generator speed. Thanks for the content dude

Power: rush Tofu: don't rush

Every killer has potential to be top tier in the right hands they just take time to learn

Finally someone who understands blight. Although he can be pretty strong on jungle gyms and shack if your precise enough. LT walls, 4wall, and normal loops are a struggle though Also try the green turn speed add-on or yellow/brown combo it's amazing

Seeing him played like this, I may buy him instead of getting him with shards. He seems pretty fun now, and he kinda fits my prefered playstyle. Dont think hes gonna get anywhere near as much playtimeas my Legion, but he'll get some attention.

What’s with the transformation in the teaser?? I just feel like they just put him out .. for filler or something?

It's funny when they teabag while I'm running dream pallets as nightmare
