Why it works

This build is all about skill checks. Doctor's madness makes skill checks harder, Distressing makes your terror radius bigger, and Unnerving Presence, Huntress Lullaby and Overcharge make survivors fail more checks. Every failed check costs gen time.

How to play

Shock survivors on gens and keep your terror radius over as many gens as you can. Then watch the gens explode.
