Sadako Execution Rules

• don’t teleport just because a TV is available; teleport where pressure converts
• track who is forced to heal versus who is forced to repair
• use info perks to pick fights, not to gather trivia

Build Notes

Screen-Watcher

This is your anti-guessing package. It keeps transitions informed and prevents idle patrol loops.

Hook -> Damage -> Lock

If survivors are winning by generator rhythm, run this and make every hook event interrupt that rhythm.

Cursed & Confused

Totem-heavy chaos option. Works when survivors overreact to screams and cleansing tasks.

Swap Options

• Discordance -> Ultimate Weapon for louder, manual map checks.
• Deadlock -> Grim Embrace for hook-spread blocking style.
• Call of Brine -> Nowhere to Hide for immediate local info.
