Tips for Monster to not get bullied
By alextoothbrush
Many new players instantly come to the game and make the assumption that this game is teen sided and that monsters get bullied in every game, this couldn't be further from the truth, you just need to change your mindset. This game is not like many other asyms, vhs is a fight between the Monster and Teens, not the Monster slaughtering the teens, which is the biggest difference between this game and Dead By Daylight.

Tip 1
Many monsters play the game like its DBD, they can just run into a teen and will never get punished. This is not true, Teens will often run to other teens that have weapons to set up for an ambush, remember that. If a teen has a weapon, you should use your characters defensive ability to push it. For W.A.R.T., its his armor, for Werewolf, its her howl, for Doll Master, its either pushing with a doll, or teleporting away then attacking with a doll.
Tip 2
Remember where you're getting ambushed from. There are many places in the 3 current maps that are extremely easy to setup at and perform an ambush, the most common being The Courtyard in Hotel and Highschool, and Lobby or Test Chamber in Facility. Always be careful following a teen into these areas if you know other teens have had enough time to make weapons. (Weapons can take 35 - 42 seconds to craft, there are a few exceptions but just remember those numbers.)
Tip 3
The game is not over until its over. I have had many times where I have a terrible start and come back for the win. In this game the tide of the game can change in a heartbeat. All that has to happen is a quick little misplay and the game could be favoring either side, just play safer as you lose stigmas.
Tip 4
DO NOT OVER-EXTEND. Majority of the time that you take a stigma mid-chase is because you over-extend and get punished for it, this game is all about game sense and decision making, knowing when you can push, and knowing when you need to play defensive.
End
Hopefully these tips can help you, many initially think this game is teen sided but refuse to try to get better and just drop the game. This game is what I believe to be the most balanced asymmetrical game out there right now, you just need to understand how the power balance works. Good luck in your future games and see you in the Beyond!

Honestly. I've won 40% of my games as monster, and if I could count 3/4 teens dead as a victory (which it doesn't) I'd have 80% of my games won.
Trick was, the tutorials on monsters was bad. Glad you have guides like this.

I know people who played this and had no idea how to kill the teens.
The tutorial is bad.
That might be a start in getting people to enjoy playing monster.
But I do think they need to make big changes to really make it more fun for the monster.
The fun part is not chasing unarmed teens in circles like the "fun" in DBD, the fun part is baiting out shots from their limited ammo weapons and looking for an opening.
Unfortunately ability cooldowns are long enough that sometimes you get stuck unable to do anything but wait for them to finish refreshing, and that's a problem. Monster just has more things to take into account, and less tools to do it with.

I'm at like 50% win rate, balance isn't the issue, it's something deeper.
Even still, I think this game has the potential to be much better than DBD, which I found boring as hell, and the reason for that is BECAUSE the teens can fight back.

All I know is if I had to choose a game to play killer in then I would choose DBD. At least in that game I don't have to get stun locked by the survivors every 30 seconds and the audio is much better. I've already uninstalled this game and will continue to play DBD in the future and according to the steam charts I'm not the only one that has come to that conclusion.

So far what I have learned is one of the best strats is to get the gang chasing you, and they eventually leave themselves open. Another thing you can do, is check up on crafting table areas, and even use the rift as a way to get in an easy hit, just becareful with that one, because they will try to use the rift to trick you as well.

The reason you get the sense that you're getting ganged up on by 4 people is because you have no general understanding of how to play monster effectively. As somebody who has only lost 1 public match on my dollmaster (which was using haunted) with 95% of my games ending on 1 or 2 stigmas taken, this game is absolutely not teens bullying monsters and you just need to learn to play.

The game is dead on arrival because of it's poor design philosophy. Every single asymmetrical game that lets the survivors fight back is gonna fail because killers don't want the feeling of getting ganged up on by 4 people. That's part of the reason why DBD is the only successful one out there. Don't worry bud, DBD will welcome you back with open arms as soon as you realize that this game ain't it champ.

what does the game having a low player count have anything to do with the fact that ur bad at it? How about you actually learn to play instead of pointing at unrelated and insignificant statistics to back up ur argument. you left a negative review as if you knew everything about the game after playing a maximum of 5 matches, its actually sad.
ES DCSAVIOR101 22 Aug, 2022 @ 10:12am 
Literally just look at the Steam chart stats. Game is dead on arrival.

Very good tips, I think people just see as killer that they get ambushed a lot, but that is because you have to have a strategy. If you do that, you have a more possible chance to win. I believe this is a good game and I love it.
