Huntress Add-On Guide

The Huntress

Chase Control profile for The Huntress. Focus on hatchet pressure.

Core plan

The Huntress wins by midrange punish and reload economy. Build add-ons around hatchet pressure and avoid setups that only look good in highlight moments.

When this guide applies

  • You want to maximize hatchet pressure value rather than generic perk-only pressure.
  • Your recent losses come from failing to convert chase windows consistently.
  • Shorten chase length at key loops.
  • Force early resource tax before three-gen phase.
  • Convert downs in high-value map sectors.

Specific add-ons to consider

Iridescent Head

Hatchet hits put survivors directly into the Dying State, but carried hatchets are reduced to 1.

Best when: High-precision play where each throw is deliberate and high value.

Infantry Belt

Successful hatchet hits grant +3% Haste for 5 seconds.

Best when: Chained pressure routes where momentum after a hit creates immediate follow-up value.

Glowing Concoction

Survivors hit by hatchets have their aura revealed for 5 seconds.

Best when: Information-focused Huntress play that converts hit confirmation into fast routing decisions.

Perk pairings

Common mistakes

  • Common leak: throwing ego shots while macro collapses.
  • Overloading niche add-ons that reduce consistency in normal queue states.
  • Ignoring map-state win condition while chasing extra mechanical value.
