Killer Deep Dive
Plague Add-On Guide
The Plague
Snowball profile for The Plague. Focus on infection and purge cycle.
Core plan
The Plague wins by health-state denial and collapse windows. Build add-ons around infection and purge cycle and avoid setups that only look good in highlight moments.
When this guide applies
- You want to maximize infection and purge cycle value rather than generic perk-only pressure.
- Your recent losses come from failing to convert snowball windows consistently.
- Turn one hook into two-pressure states.
- Punish rescue greed without losing macro.
- Use short slug windows only when conversion is immediate.
Specific add-ons to consider
Iridescent Seal
Automatically grants Corrupt Purge when a generator is completed, but reduces Corrupt Purge duration by 20 seconds.
Best when: Tempo builds that want repeatable midgame power spikes tied to gen progress.
Devotee's Amulet
Increases Corrupt Purge duration by 20 seconds.
Best when: Snowball windows where longer Corrupt Purge uptime can secure multiple downs.
Black Incense
Reveals auras of vomiting infected survivors for 3 seconds.
Best when: Information-heavy plague routing to chain pressure on already-sick survivors.
Perk pairings
Common mistakes
- Common leak: mis-timing corrupt purge windows.
- Overloading niche add-ons that reduce consistency in normal queue states.
- Ignoring map-state win condition while chasing extra mechanical value.
