Why Fighter matters

Most survivors only buy time by running. Fighter buys time by resetting the killer’s successful engage.

Core loop

Parry incoming attacks, build charge, then convert that charge into a stun when the team can gain objective value from it.

Best habits

  • Learn killer wind-up timing individually.
  • Do not spend every stun on self-preservation.
  • Intercept where the killer must commit, not where they can still fake.

Strengths

  • Parry resets
  • Team peel
  • High skill expression

Best habits

  • Learn each killer wind-up
  • Save stun windows for objective pressure resets
