The Majula theme joyfully distracts me so much. I was listening for a good 2 minutes, reminiscing about DS2 in my head, before I realized I should be paying attention about Muscle Man.

"The guide would be 6 hours long and it'd be impossible to do." *[Laughs in Otzdarva]*

Tbh I think Oni is the best killer bhvr has ever made fun to play fun to play against, super strong, and his art design is amazing. Also as a survivor player monitor is indeed very scary on oni

This is awesome. So much good stuff in here. I had no idea that holding W during the dash limited the strafe.

So you're going by Scott "The Oni" Jund now?

Oh thank god, I had been using Iridescent Family Crest and smacking bushes to find Claudettes. So you're supposed to hit PEOPLE with the club? Interesting.

I'm not looking forward to all the new pro Onis you're creating here my dude.

“The guide would be 6 hours long and that’s impossible” Otzdarva: I beg to differ

Scott: you should get your first down in 20 secs with your skill up survivor: *laughs in sprint burst*

Me a PS4 player: yes you your oni skills Give me your dark soul....

I really like the movement speed when absorbing blood orbs addons

"For oni you need to have a good memory." Well shit.

I can confirm most of what I've seen already. I have plenty of Oni gameplay that demonstrates most of the top tier things every Oni player needs to know, especially WASD strafing.

Scott leaves the survivor injured. 2021 Circle of Healing be like: Am I a f*cking joke to you?

7:30 I just missed that Nancy by a hair

at 12:00 i'm that dumb jane :^) cool to see myself in a video

I don't know if someone in the comments has mentioned this already but an Interesting fact about Oni's power is that while in Blood fury mode, injured survivors stop creating blood orbs. A small detail to know so Oni players can manage their power usage wisely.

Great vid, just picked him up last night and only have enough BP to hit level 10. Managed to snag BBQ early so I have something to find survivors in the meantime. I felt like I was just playing him completely wrong then Tony linked me your guide. I didn't realize that holding forward during dash makes you a lot slower so that'll change quickly. Thanks for the vid Scott. I look forward to watching you play sometime 👊🏼

Watching this I'm really regretting not working on getting Plague's teachables until now. Oni with and without Infectious Fright seems like a night and day comparison. Seems like his power is just flat out worse as a power without it.

I really like the structure of your guide. Really puts into perspective how to play in a real game situation. lol that dc.

This guide helped me achieve Rank 1 as killer for the first time in 20-30 hours of gameplay, starting from rank 9. Thanks Scott, love you.

I love the majula theme in the background, I’ve been playing dark souls 2 lately

,,Oni is king of snowballing"- stalks in Myers. P.S I agree with it, Myers WAS king of snowballing (at least for me). Also this build was on my Myers build. Thanks for guide.

this is obviously a very old guide but all the same, this is worth saying; I've only recently started playing dbd (last like, week or so) and i immediately took to oni, and i like to think i'm doing pretty good, but this guide is genuinely a godsend. like there's so much shit i straight up did not know even after toying with mechanics in different scenarios. so yea, this is a super good refresher on things i do know, and also a warning to break some bad habits i display in certain matches, so thank you scott!

I already know practically everything this guide mentions but these videos are so good I still watch them lol

Scott: "Oni has the strongest power in the game" Nurse: *HOLD MY BLINKS*

Great guide, love the Majula theme in the background

this guide is insane! oni is so op if you get the dash figured out and manage to snowball with these perks!

10:06 these are the exact type of teammates i get in solo queue. 10 feet away, killer 1 shot power and he knows where you are exactly........... Totem time :)

I normally use ruin and sloppy butcher to slug people. So, survivors either lose gen progress or leave a lot of blood orbs. Also, tinkerer is really powerful on oni, when tinkerer is up, you can get really close to the survivor doing the gen before he realizes you're actually super close because of blood fury movement speed and 0 terror radius.

Thank you very much mate. You just made me pick the Oni from my forbidden pool. I used to play him a couple times after purchasing and since I was very suck, I never use him again. And right after watching this video, I have 3 games which 2 of them are 4k. The fact about not holding W while dashing is a big deal but other pros don't mention it much. Other tips are also helpful I might have to watch again many times. Thanks for making such a good guide that make me eventually have fun with this character.

Thanks for the guide, Scott! Oni is my new favorite killer as well!

Awesome guide, thanks for that! I wanted to git gud with Oni, because I loved his design and style, but failed misserably, but your tips gave me new resolve!

Why the Oni is the best killer: insane mobility, insta downs, full map control (if played well), easy power to get, good even without addons (looking at you, trapper). Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Me: tries to listen for survivor Oni: *angry demonic sounds*

Love the dark souls music in the background. Great video sir!

A useful heuristic for modern oni games for the first chase is Does the first hit survivor have a med kit, if so commit, if not break off and disrupt to get a hit elsewhere as two fresh hits is 80% of power whilst two survivors are leaking all over the map for you

I’m a main survivor and pretty much know how terrifying can be an Oni well played, but I also always felt he was kinda difficult to play so I never touch him when I went for a ritual or a rift challenge. And then I needed a few points for the rift and finally go for that 4 down in a match with Oni’s power and it was difficult indeed but also so much fun and sooo cool. I wanted to learn to play him and remembered Scott has a video tutorial about Oni and I’m here :)

Oh holy shit, the internet is a small place! I used to watch Jund back a few years ago when he was with Cry. Can't believe I refound him while trying to learn this game.

I personally think that discordance is a great perk for oni. The moment it goes off, active you’re power and dash head on towards the gen, then you get a free down

I’m 1 year late to this video but I used these tips and it helped a lot thanks man keep it up

I wanna see Oni and Sion duke it out, more specifically them charging into eachother lol.

I dont have a lot of perks on my Oni, so this is my budget Oni build: Monitor and Abuse A Nurses Calling Discordance Enduring/Brutal Strength Monitor and abuse is self explanatory, its to easily catch up to unknowing survivors with demon dash because they wont hear me coming. A Nurses Calling so that they either dont heal and keep giving me orbs or risk revealing themselves just to heal Discordance i use to find grouped up survivors who are possibly collecting a lot of blood or can give me a lot of blood if i hit them when they are healthy. Enduring/Brutal Strength are simply filler perks to help me in chases I think i will keep a few of the other perks i used, especially Discordance, but i will also try to get Barbecue and Chili too

The Oni when he is in his fury mode reminds me of Demoknight. They're both powerful, cursed swordsmen that can charge very fast. By the way, this will defiantly help me play Oni, since I'm just getting back into him. Last time I played him, I had my first major breakdown on Dead by Daylight.

Out of the ultra rare’s, Rejiro’s glove is actually really good. Since survivor’s can easily walk into these orbs by mere accident or forced to touch one when they’re moving trying to hide from you, also the fact it makes it so it’s near impossible to heal or repair generators without being seen. Since you’ll basically be constantly touching blood orbs. It’s basically a super buffed Nurse’s Calling. Except you’ll be able to detect them when they’re doing any action that involves not moving. However, due to the fact it uses up precious orbs. I find it a good idea to bring in another add-on meant for getting more blood orbs or having a better passive recharge so that you can compensate for the fact some of the orbs will get absorbed.

Followed this guide. Made it to red ranks for the first time. Amazing build

Great guide, very informative. I'll be sure to use some of these tips when I play Oni! Now could you do a guide on how to counter Oni? When I play survivor against red rank Onis, if they happen to see me and have their power, it feels like there's absolutely nothing I can do to not go down instantly, except if I'm abusing a god window, which feels scummy to me... But if it's all I can do to not go down instantly, then of course I'm going to resort to it. Maybe there's more to it than what I'm seeing, but now that he's got his flick, I just can't seem to grasp it.

Thanks for the guide Scoot I will try to remember it while I play Oni

I run Tinkerer , Overcharge , Pop and Third Seal on oni and it works pretty well. Tinkerer let's me run into survivors with the power so they either dont notice me and get downed or run away and I can secure the gen afterwards by kicking it. And third seal is frequently underestimated so they sometimes dont even bother to find and cleanse it while I can either safely slug or disrupt their object of obsession or some other aura perks. So far it works well in purple ranks but I'm still somewhat weak in terms of flicking so far. Tend to bump a lot of the time ;). Thanks a lot for telling us about not holding w while dashing. Maybe that’s why I bump a lot when I shouldn’t.

Thanks for this video! Do you have any perk recommendations for a newer player? I currently only have the teachables for Legion and Plague.

Discordance is usually a good pick on oni as he can make so much value out of it both in early game and during blood fury

i was hoping to learn how to vs him, i cant seem to enjoy looping his power

This guide made me a pro Oni, big thanks my dude.

Dont think I didnt notice the Majula theme. Keep going skeleton!

thank you for the oni guide im getting 4 mans now i didnt know nun of this thank u

Thank you my "Oni Teacher" :)

loved the dark souls background sound.

awesome video and thanks for the in depth explanation how to rack up kills with him. Very OP killer with the right strategies

I love watch other people play as killers because you can see what they miss, like theres a survivors arm at 7:52

Scott: this is arguably the strongest power in the game Nurse: am I a joke to you?

Tier list based on difficulty of playing killer

Quick tip, when flicking with oni, look up slightly and then left or right

but scoot how do you deal with the z-wall infinite

Very informative, thank you Scott.

The Oni and the Doctor and Nurse Reworks are basically BHVR's attempts at making Calm Spirit a relevant perk.

I feel like Tinkerer is really good on him as well. Can secure you some pretty easy downs.

That bad ass thumbnail made me click this guide over all others lol

does Anyone else notice the majula theme from dark souls 2 that play in the back ???

thanks alot im a new player barely got enough shards to get a new character and im thinking ony deathslinger or legion im doing my research before i decide this helped alot

Thanks Man. May buy him. Down to three I’m deciding on. I have everyone but oni, deathslinger and demo

I plan on moving to PC soon, and can't wait to play Oni. Great video Scott, as usal!

The regular demon strike lunge can be good for short loops and tight corners, I've seen Monto get some sexy hits like that and the lunge is really good. On a farm map on the hay bale loop with the pallet in the middle of it, I managed to get a survivor with the very tip of the lunge just at the end of my power as well and it won me the game. Don't underestimate the regular lunge, its very difficult to aim and maneuver though but its good. Also the Lunge is good for pressuring pallet drops and breaking the pallet or downing the survivor just like demogorgon.

You probably should have mentioned that you don't need to fully charge his demon lunge.

Oni is the king of entity displeased

found this guide and i immediately recognised the dark souls music and subbed :)

The early game strategy that i like to use is hit someone chase him but if i see someone else go for the healty survivor and once i hit him i have my power and I can let him and go to a gen that i know they are on or down the injured survivor with blood fury and snowball from there

Would have been good to add some counter strategies. I think early game healing yourself when you are wounded or getting as far away as possible from your allies would be somewhat helpful in slowing down your blood absorption.

Thank you so much I really Needed this I hade the oni for like 1 year and still can't you him

I still don't get how to properly do the flick. Can you please describe on how to do it?

So, would you only use the "Ooo A piece of candy" Method once at the start of the game? Or use it at different instances throughout?

I know I’m super late but what if you don’t have any of those perks what could I do to get better or what are so other perks that might help out

7:52 Look at behind the boxes you see blendette survivor

I couldn't stop looking at the sword when I noticed the face on it lol

I need this

5:07 wtf is that Nancy teleport

That's why i use spinechill - such an underrated perk and very useful for a lot of killers nowaday. Playing against oni - it is better to drop a pallet early rather then get hit by him. It's actually the only Killer where it really is a game changer from the beginning.

I'm an aspiring oni main and i learned a bunch from this vid. Didn't know not to hold forward. I'm just wondering if hitting a survivor and leaving for another one is also a good strat for getting his power? Imma test out your way because my example was what i normally do if i see 2 survivors next to each other

What’s funny is that the build that you suggested for oni is the same build I run on demo

Would tinkerer be good on oni because he can demon dash from across the map to the gen

I hate when I accidently do the non-strike Oni attack, you know, the one that isn’t a one shot? I hate it because it disorients me a lot, the camera moves so much that he might as well just do a flip.

god to have the old visible auras back

How do you flick with a controller?

God that weapon is gnarly, i love it

I’m starting to play most oni right now and I just have to train how to fake what direction I’m going and when to use my power on injured people

Stop making me want to play Oni! I already vowed that he was a bad killer and you’re making me change my mind 😪 lol And What was the background music you used for this vid?? It was oddly calming 👀

You earned a sub from this vid I can tell you worked hard!!! 👍

*Wait wait wait wait i just realized oni is just hillbilly with a lunge*

I often wonder how many times I pass a survivor who was in line of sight and an easy target but... I just never saw them, such as the nancy behind the boxes at 7:52

I feel like barbecue and pop are anti synergies with oni because he relies on a slugging play style. I think whispers and corrupt are better for getting first hits. I dunno I’m not very good as killer but it’s a suggestion
