A build built around gen kicks: Help Wanted, Machine Learning and Lay Waste all trigger when you kick a gen. Dragon's Grip makes it risky for Survivors to go back to a gen you just kicked. To keep track of gen progress you need a perk like Tinkerer or Thrilling Tremors, or your own intuition.

How to counter

  • The bell is heard at 24 m and the transition sound at 40 m: a bell ring means he is changing state, not that he is far.
  • He takes 3 s to uncloak (1.6 m/s at the start): if you hear him uncloak, you have time to reach a loop.
  • A stun while he is cloaked forces him to uncloak and leaves him stunned for 4 s.

Add-ons to know

  • "Blind Warrior" - White
    "Blind Warrior" - WhiteSurprise Attack inflicts Haemorrhage and Mangled for 70 s.
  • "Blink" - White
    "Blink" - WhiteReduces cloaking time by 60%.
  • "Bone Clapper"
    "Bone Clapper"Survivors cannot tell the distance or direction of the bell.
