The Blight

The Blight

Difficulty: Very hard · Patch 10.2.2, data from October 28, 2026.

An unpredictable Killer, able to rush forward in a burst of speed and carom off obstacles to injure Survivors using his power, Blighted Corruption.

Power

Blighted Corruption

Blighted Corruption

Blighted Corruption: rushes at 9.2 m/s; a rush that hits an obstacle (slam) can chain a Lethal Rush that allows attacks.

Full power text

Pustula serum courses through his veins, corrupting his mind and body, yet granting him unnatural physical abilities.

SPECIAL ABILITY: RUSH

Press the Power button to quickly Rush forward. Doing so consumes a Rush token. While performing Rush, The Blight cannot launch an attack.

Rush into a wall or obstacle in the environment to Slam onto it. If the Rush fails to connect with a wall or obstacle, or if The Blight is out of Rush tokens, he will enter a short fatigue state and begin recharging the tokens.

SPECIAL ATTACK: LETHAL RUSH

Following a Slam, press the Power button to launch a Lethal Rush. Doing so consumes a Rush token. A Lethal Rush behaves the same as a Rush, except that The Blight may launch an attack by pressing the Attack button. Hitting a dropped pallet or breakable wall will special-break it.

Breaking a dropped pallet consumes up to 2 Rush tokens.

Build going for consistent win streaks: massive stacked slowdown that buys a ton of time if your chases are on point. Check the alternative perks for a more balanced, info-oriented build.

How to counter

  • He starts with 5 tokens (3 after breaking a pallet) recharging 2 s each: the earlier he spends them, the more limited he becomes.
  • After a Lethal Rush ends, or if there is no slam, he suffers 2.5 s of fatigue: move off immediately.
  • A rush is hard to steer: change direction sharply when he is close (dodging a Lethal Rush within 1 m earns a score event).

Add-ons to know

  • Adrenaline Vial
    Adrenaline Vial+2 tokens, faster rush and a wider look angle.
  • Vigo's Journal

  • Compound Seven
