DBD: I Think I've finally found a build for Pyramid Head that I don't hate using. You can most definitely use something w/ more impact than Distressing, but I feel like having a 40m terror radius + Infectious Fright on such a snowball-focused character could actually be good? 1/?

The main idea behind this is that infectious fright + distressing will let you know if people are within 40m of you (covers all of outside BBQ's range), and then if nobody screams when you get a down, you know to hook for BBQ aura reads. 2/?

This combo, along with Save The Best For Last helping you end chases faster should, in theory help you lean much harder into PH's tempo-focused feel for massive snowballing potential. I much prefer this in gameplay compared to bringing the more "meta" perks for Pyramid Head 3/?

On substitutions for Distressing; this slot would work for flex perks so you could use anything here. If you like Zanshin Tactics/I'm All Ears, those work (although most survivors expect PH to have the latter now, so I find it's not actually that good) 4/?

other good picks could be Corrupt Intervention, Whispers, Nurse's Calling, Blood Warden, Sloppy Butcher, Pop, Discordance and Thrilling Tremors. I'm also going to try seeing how good Surge could be, so I might update this thread again later. 5/?

As for addons, they don't matter much on PH but I've recently taken to using the Valtiel Sect Photo with the Mannequin Foot. Good for always having your power fully charged and available + having the trails stick around for a decent while longer. Range addons are cool too. 6/6
