30-Second Gameplan

• Open with Build 1 or 2 if you need guaranteed structure.
• Spend early cloak pressure on quick injuries, not marathon commits.
• Use first hook to launch your rotation loop: hook -> closest high-value gen -> next contact.
• If a chase goes long in weak terrain, disengage and farm tempo elsewhere.

Matchup Cues

• If survivors keep vanishing after touching gens, Build 1 gives cleaner recapture.
• If teams heal constantly and your downs slow down, Build 3 denies recovery value.
• If rescues are aggressive and patterned, Build 4 turns those moments into your win condition.
• If pallets are your main pain point, Build 5 reduces loop duration.

Swap Ideas

• Barbecue & Chilli -> Scourge Hook: Floods of Rage for tighter hook-follow information.
• Grim Embrace -> Nowhere to Hide if kick-routing is giving better practical value.
• No Way Out -> Deadlock when you need earlier slowdown instead of endgame insurance.

Wraith FAQ

What should beginners run on Wraith?

Build 2 is the most forgiving because it creates value even when your ambush timing is not perfect.

Is anti-heal Wraith still worth it?

Yes, especially in lobbies that prioritize reset and regroup over direct objective racing.
