Stop this 3-gen kick meta! Play her differently! She’s actually fun! | Dead by Daylight
Hello, everyone! This is PotatoMerchant, and I hope you’re all doing well today.
In today’s video, I might receive some backlash, but I want to ask you all to please stop using the 3-gen slowdown perk meta. It’s such a boring playstyle to both play and go against, as nobody wants to do gens for ages against a killer with strong 3-gen defense.
If you enjoy this playstyle, then go ahead! But I’m pretty sure most people don’t like playing this way or playing against this killer. She has great potential with her perk and add-on combinations, which you should try out.
I can’t convince you to enjoy her 100%, as we are all different, but if you do try her, don’t just think “3 GEN MUST PROTECT” from the start. It’s always smart to think about your late game and which gens to protect later, but don’t ignore other gens just to constantly kick a 3-gen.
This game isn’t an esports competition, so stop trying so hard to win. Instead, get some fun downs/kills with smart drone plays and stop putting all your focus on gens and just kicking them. Chasing survivors is fun, trust me! LOL!

I enjoy 3 Gen to grind survivors into the ground.
I remember people telling me the same thing about doctor and trapper way back in the day. Call me boring if you want, but if it works extremely well, it works extremely well. Needless to say, I do think the devs should change the way this killer interacts with gens to make it more fair on survivors.
No, I have no need to play her differently as I will not be playing her except for her adept and related achievement
Gonna be realistic potato no ones gonna stop doing it it's just to easy to do so
Only skull merchant game I had fun with I was running trial of torment, Monitor and abuse, Tinkerer and beast of prey. I mean it's hard not to have fun when you're undetectable 3/4 of the game ☠️.
Maybe it's the fact that overall she's still extremely reminiscent of knight, had she of come out after another more original killer I wouldn't have had as much disappointment as I do. But to me it still just feels like the took the knight and redesigned him with slight tweaks.
During my plays with her found it more useful setting drones around hooks with loops vs gens. Beyond that I actually like her basic attack as there's both a long lunge option or sweep attack (which I love vs players double backing on me).
So If drones can carry your terror radius, Hear me out IDEA OF THE CENTURY, if someone can test it, curiousity lol
Distressing and Unverving, apparently they work with the Drone Terror Radius add on, AND THEN, Infectious Fright??????? Would it trigger on each drone????
The amount of information I get playing her is an absolute blast. I'm so happy I don't need to waste any perk slots on aura readings because she constantly knows where everyone is anyway. This killer makes me so happy and I'm so glad I didn't pander to the anti Skully crowd. ❤️
This is why i started using the geographical readout addon (purple). It makes for a much better chase build
She is an absolute nightmare on multi level indoor maps. As her drone goes trough the floor/ceiling she can cover a huge chunk of the map. Especially terrible on RPD, where a 3 gen naturally spans.
Please show us uncut proof of you using her like this 3 games in a row until then I don’t think anyone will listen
She is INCREDIBLY fun as both stealth and chase! It's a shame for my survivor games it's all 3 gen snooze fests. I understand going for the easy way, but if you actually go for skilled play, you'll have a lot more fun.
Huntresses Lullaby my beloved if only you were not a hex
She's fun when you 3 gen too, lol. I dont care about Survivor fun. I care about my own because when they have an advantage they get super cocky. I'll take my 3 gens.
I 3 gen to be a menace and make them suffer, MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
🤣🍷🗿
you talking like a survivor
Amen. She’s incredibly flexible and a lot of fun to play.
Unfortunately, just like tunneling and camping, locking down a 3 gen is a way to win consistently. I’m afraid she’ll get a nerf just so people can beat that strategy.
Think it's time to give her a predator skin don't ya think?
Have you tried hex play thing + hex third seal? I typically have third seal drones at all times and using the oblivious + bamboozle to cut them off (with the aura add on when they enter an active drone to constantly get downs before they break the third seal but by then if I've applied enough pressure it's ggs
So just like knight, when you don't cheese it and actually use the power as a resource for high IQ plays, then she's fun? Good
I turned the video off after you said “just take the L if survivors are in a sweaty SWF.”
>”Do not go for a 3 gen, she has more to her power”
>Immediately shows a gen defense specialized build
You’re not helping your case here. I agree, she has some movement speed addons which help her play more aggro, but they added a lot of addons which ARE focused around defending gens. And the power itself leans heavily around defending something; be it a loop, or a gen. But mostly, gens.
But why? Theres so many other killers that do her job better! Mind aswell do this build with Freddy Krueger. Atleast he can teleport to gens! Does that make him good? No!
Why on earth would I intentionally play the game in a way that makes it harder for me to win? My goal as killer isn't to make sure survivors are having fun it's to win, just like how it isn't survivors goal to make sure I have fun. If survivors are still going to gen rush, body block, hold w and predrop pallets then I'm still going to tunnel and 3gen them.
Also saying she can still do well against solo que players is not a compliment, literally playing trapper without using your traps or perks you could still win against a full solo que sqaud because it has always been the weakest roll in the game. You don't balance a killer or rate their strength based on how they deal with the weakest challenge you base it on how well they do in the worse case scenario ie a four man prestige 100 bully/gen rush squad which she has absolutely 0 chance of winning against without 3 henning and tunneling them.
While I agree that this playstyle can be unfun for both sides it's still way more fun than just letting them absolutely demolish you and tbag at the exit gates. If you want to intentionally nerf yourself while playing the killer that's fine but don't ask or expect other people to play like a masochist too. The only way people will play her differently is if playing her a different way makes you more likely to win which isn't the case right now.
I have my own little build that I've been playing around with consisting of Play with your food, Jolt, Pain Res, and bamboozle and have been having a blast with it. Kinda wanna switch out bamboozle for game afoot just because I'm getting stronger looping value out of PWYF but I haven't decided just yet.
what a perfect video man thank you!
I play endgame Skull Merchant. Use end game build and use drone at exit game. So instill end game I play her at m one mouse killer
nah, she is trash in chases, and your gameplay doesn't change that..
The amount of sweatlord killers in this game is so cringe.
Should have been the potato merchant
I mean I feel like the three gen thing isn’t a problem because people think that’s the only way to play her it’s been discussed a lot that she can use her drones in different ways but it’s just like the early knight where you just drop it in a loop and the survivors can leave the loop or become exposed or injured thanks to aura reading, which like you said in your video is not going to be fun for survivors playing against her, looking at it that way I don’t want to play against salty survivors or hear about how broken she is or go against her at that, that being said I also think people have a big problem with her design which seems uninspired including her mori it just seems like they put all of this effort into making her power different and interesting which fair enough it’s pretty cool in theory but doesn’t account for much when everything else about her is garbage
I literally had one who made it very obvious from the beginning that they were gonna hold a 3 gen. So I went next on hook so fast the server died. I guess the server even said nope. Too boring
I watch too much wolf I’m 4k every game if I play her
I do admire your perseverance in trying to make a diamond out of the clod that is the Skull Merchant, because she's beyond boring for me to play.
As survivor, I just treat skull merchant the same way I do Clown and Legion: Fan out, find two connected windows and loop her until one of us makes a big mistake. (and hope that my rando-teammates break the map's 3 gens before the killer either gets me or switches targets)
My win rate against her is something like 60/70 (solo/team) doing this, and that's in solo queue; I've never had an easier time beating a new killer like this; not even Sadako. I personally think she needs a buff to her stealth aspect to help her early game, as it's not all that hard to loop her with just Windows of Opportunity. Most games I face off against her are boring "hold M1 and slam gens".
Her tracking gimmick would be really strong if she were a ranged killer, but alas.
