The Clown is easily the most obnoxious killer to go against in Dead by Daylight and if it is not because of the amount of blind his abilities apply to the survivors, it is definitely because of the amount of times he makes the survivors scream in a single chase.
Behaviour decided to turn Coulrophobia into a killer and give it an ability that would make it harder for the survivors to run away from him it.
His kit revolves around his bottles of poison slowing down the survivors so the perks he uses have to complement that.
Perk Loadout
Hex: No One Escapes Death
Once the exit gates are powered, an available or uncleansed totem will become hexed. The killer is granted 4% movement speed and survivors are permanently exposed. Hex: No One Escapes Death remains inactive if no Dull Totems are available. Once the status effect is revealed to survivors, Hex: No One Escapes Death reveals the aura of the hexed totem to all survivors within 4 metres and gradually expands that range to 24 metres over the course of 30 seconds. All effects of the hex persist until its totem is cleansed or blessed.
This perk will allow the Clown to insanely snowball if the game goes past the completion of all 5 generators. This is due to the Clown getting a movement speed and his bottles slowing down the survivors, guaranteeing a lethal hit.
Deadlock
Whenever a generator is completed, The entity blocks the Generator with the most progression for 30 seconds. The blocked Generator is revealed to the killer in white during this time.
Corrupt Intervention
If the player has Corrupt Intervention the 3 Generators located farthest from the killer are blocked for 120 seconds right at the start of the trial.
This perk allows the Clown to get into chases very early in the game and apply lasting pressure onto the survivors.
Zanshin Tactics
The auras of breakable walls, pallets, and windows in a radius of 32 metres are revealed to the killer.
This gives the Clown a chance to map out where the survivor will run and prethrow a bottle, hindering the survivor and making the chase easier.
Add-ons
The ideal add-ons for the Clown are Smelly Inner Soles (Increased movement speed while reloading) and Thick Cork Stopper (Reduced reload time).
