Best Builds for The Lich

Vecna dominates when survivors are overloaded with side tasks: items, hooks, and rotations all competing at once.

Spellbook Selection

• Choose Build 1 when item economy is giving survivors too much free value.
• Choose Build 2 when you need clean objective damage from every hook cycle.
• Choose Build 3 when unhook events are predictable and you can rotate quickly.
• Choose Build 4 when teams collapse around downs and pickups.
• Choose Build 5 when loop-heavy squads drag chase duration.

Vecna Tempo Rules

1. Keep one pressure identity per match; do not juggle three plans at once.
2. Route from pressure event to pressure event, not from noise to noise.
3. If survivors neutralize your niche layer, pivot immediately to hook macro builds.

Swap Lines

• Gearhead -> Barbecue & Chilli for simpler post-hook direction.
• Deadlock -> Grim Embrace when first-hook spread is reliable.
• Franklin's Demise -> Lethal Pursuer when opener certainty matters more than item denial.

FAQ

Best Lich build for consistency?

Hook Dividend Engine is the lowest-variance default in most lobbies.

Is Loot Tax still worth running?

Yes, but only when survivors are item-reliant enough for repeated value.
