Here are just a few top Freddy Krueger builds you can try.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1gst4rk2vf\">Beginner Nightmare Build<\/h2>\n<p>If you are just getting started as a new Nightmare main, it might be hard to decide which perks to use. Using this loadout on Freddy Krueger as a beginner will help you down survivors and find your footing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Jolt<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hex: No One Escapes Death<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Whispers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Blood Warden <\/strong>(The Nightmare)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of the perks included in this build are general perks, meaning they either come by default with The Nightmare or can be found in the Bloodweb of all killers without prestiging or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dead-by-daylight\/how-many-bloodpoints-to-level-50\">reaching level 50<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Whispers will guide you toward survivors so you can get your downs, while Jolt will provide you with generator regression throughout the match after you down survivors. Hex: No One Escapes Death and Blood Warden ensures a fun end-game, giving you multiple boosts as survivors try to make their way out.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1gst4rk2vg\">&nbsp;Anti-Generator Nightmare Build<\/h2>\n<p>Your goal as the killer is to prevent survivors from completing the generators, so it makes sense that this Freddy build is focused on just that. Freddy&#8217;s ability allows him to teleport to unfinished generators, making this build especially powerful for him.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Nemesis (The Oni)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Dead Man&#8217;s Switch <\/strong>(The Deathslinger)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance <\/strong>(The Artist)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deadlock<\/strong> (The Cenobite)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"rsp-embed-container\" contenteditable=\"false\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.5%;\"><iframe style=\"border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wfNHR0_vyQc?feature=oembed\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wfNHR0_vyQc?autoplay=1&gt;&lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/wfNHR0_vyQc\/hqdefault.jpg alt='YouTube video thumbnail'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#9654;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nemesis changes the Obsession when a survivor stuns you and shows you their aura. Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance shows you where survivors are after a survivor is unhooked from a Scourge Hook. Dead Man&#8217;s Switch will combine with Pain Resonance to annoyingly block survivors&#8217; generators. Finally, Deadlock blocks the generator with the most progress after you get a hook, complementing the other perks in this build nicely.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1gst4rk2vh\">What Are The Best Perks For The Nightmare?<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ve given you some builds to test out on Freddy Krueger, but you might be wondering what the best perks are on them.<\/p>\n<p>A few of the best perks on The Nightmare in Dead by Daylight are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Barbecue and Chili<\/strong> (The Cannibal)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whispers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hex: No One Escapes Death<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Jolt<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance <\/strong>(The Artist)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scourge Hook: Gift Of Pain <\/strong>(The Cenobite)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hex: Ruin <\/strong>(The Hag)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We recommend mixing and matching the perks in the builds we&#8217;ve provided to create your favorite loadout.
