The Jerk's Guide To The Hag | Dead By Daylight 

Hag is one of the only killers that still scares me sometimes and that is the real reason i started playing dbd in the first place. I wish they would go back to this and make more killers with jump scares and all that, very hard to be scared by a short neon purple singer in a neon yellow curtain. Sadakos scary sometiumes tho

The weirdest thing about Hag is that people always forget she exists even though she's one of the top tier killers. Like every time meta discussions come up, it's always Nurse, Spirit, and Blight, with no mention of Hag, even though you can run no perks no addons with her and still clap at high MMR

"Who cares about the hag?" Gr8 question, I'm here cuz we care about YOU

The ending is actually really interesting. It feels like the gaming space is maturing in some ways. In 2016-2018 it was all about gimmicks, innovation, trying something new. But as it's gone on, we've realised what people like, and we're sticking to it. Building was new, it was interesting, it captured peoples imaginations. And then we realised people like to shoot people not wood. A killer like hag is interesting, new, provides a different playstyle to the game... Are we going to realise that everyone really just enjoys loops and chases? There's this tendency when looking at trends to homogenise people, to treat outliers as not individuals with tastes and preferences but data points that don't fit the graph and should be ignored. Who's to say people enjoy the "wrong" thing about fortnight? That enjoying building and the new dynamcy it brings to the space is an inferior waste of breath? Who's to say enjoying the feeling of being a cunning mastermind, setting up death traps as hag is an inferior waste of breath? Maybe the charm is in the fact that people don't like those things. Maybe it's the interesting outliers that make the chart worth drawing in the first place.

"I've always been much more interested in emotionally interfacing with my games than trying to win them" Holy shit. I just committed to the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending in Elden Ring for this exact reason.

The fact that the ending theme is “stranger I remain” is absolutely brilliant and I love it

It's been a while since I played. My old strategy with the hag was to use Franklin's demise and then trap the item that the survivors dropped.

"Why do I gotta wait so long?" They say at midnight.

Hag is my main and i really freaking wish they would touch her addons. Watching all the other killers getting fun addon effects and Hag still having Grandmas heart and Deaf boy's ear (WHICH DO NOTHING) hurts my soul.

Dude remember space coconut going on a quest to get to red ranks as hag and everyone was like "wow, what a challenge" like a week before she became the strongest killer in the game breifly?

I actually watch the guy who has 2/3rd of Hag's WRs (he has longest win streak and fasted 4k) streams. He outright refuses to use Mint Rag because of how powerful it is. His main add-ons are Shackles and Teleport Range. He says don't use Trigger Range because the stock range is the same as your lunge. Edit: more detail.

This man never disappoints

I thought they increased the speed of her placing traps by a lot. Maybe I'm wrong, idk.

I have been waiting for this episode for soooo long dude I swear

Sadly she has officially been reworked recently. You can't use the flashlight to break her runes anymore. Instead, much like Trapper's bear traps, you can sneak up to them and interact to disable them.

is it bad that I actually like playing the hag the most? I haven't bought any killers though so she's the only one I can play okay with (bc she's kind of camp-y to be fair) and I kind of like that no one likes or talks about her much because then people are a little more surprised when you play her and I get to indulge in my old 2016 hipstery guilty pleasure of liking the unpopular thing

Your art for the Thumbnail gave me nostalga to Bricky Plays and his DBD How To-s. Man oh man the memories

16:02 “They’ll put a microphone up to the office washing machine for a new chase theme.” Had me dying right in the middle of my gym when I heard that 🤣

Hag is my favorite killer. In my eyes she has all the best parts of Trapper and Twins without the downsides. (Though she has weaknesses of her own). She’s certainly very campy, but she has more to her power than that as well. To this day one of my favorite things to do with her is to force a survivor to choose whether they think I or my phantasm is the greater threat. Being in multiple places at once isn’t something many killers can do so elegantly.

I have played versus hag 3 times ever since I started playing the game, one of those times was the only one I have ever been jumpscared by a killer.

I love your Dead by Daylight videos man. It feels like you bring such a fresh breath of air with your point of view and way of speaking, it feels so much different than just “this is how to play Hag. These are her perks. These are her add-ons.”, I don’t know how to describe it well, but I’ll try. You bring a lot of the sarcastic, detached (not bad detached) vibe that this game desperately needs. I feel people are too wrapped up and attached to this game nowadays (I am no exception), take it way to seriously and invest a lot of energy into its bad parts. They strip it down to its bare bones mechanics and only the meta perks, how to win and not win, etc. You bring the vibe of someone who cares about this game but looks at it as a whole, not just it’s present state or meta, which is refreshing to see. Plus your way with humor is awesome and EXTREMELY refreshing!! Your content never fails to put a smile on my face. Thanks dude!

The starting analogy was amazing man. Like your stuff is funny but as an audience I feel like we don't give you enough credit for how clever your writing and video making is- keep it up!

My man threw in an Armstrong reference and had his outdo be A Stranger I Remain. That’s a pretty meme, exquisite!

Bro why is it that every time you upload a video I feel like my day will be a good day?

They have updated her, notably they made it significantly faster to place traps than on release

Idk how you do it. Your explanations are precise, accurate and well presented. At the same time, you make sarcastic jokes that also further the point and offer additional information. And it's incredibly funny, as well as useful and interesting.

Yes! Yes! Yessss! I was waiting for this video! Dude you are honestly fricking hilarious! Keep up the content!

3:27 Actually, you're slower because the Hag is slowly getting petrified, aka turning into a stone, basically. It's why The Hag drinks blood, as it reverses that process.

This video was a big nostalgia trip thanks

I didn’t click on this for the thumbnail. I came to hear you talk about a game I play. And you delivered.

Love your editing style!

"You really Clicked on That. Like, Really?" Yes, Because The Floran Hag Outfits are the Best Hag outfits. Fight me.

This just made my day 19 times better

The Hag doesn't need a rework like other recent killers because it already had one a couple of years ago to buff the trap setting base speed, which turned her into a much stronger character. The existing addons are mostly all useful and any changes by BHVR will only be in the negative direction so it's best they are not touched, either. Hag is not meant to be a chase killer, only going at 110% speed, so right there that will confuse the more dumb players on how to use her properly, which is setting traps in advance of chases. She works well for those who figure out the unique gameplay associate with it.

Its good to see a video from you again

Thumbnail is cutest Hag art I've seen.

That outro music was what i was looking for fr

Bruh. That intro. I was legit hyped when I saw this video’s title and thumbnail.

Dang that last part got really nostalgic

Hag's taking that Twins spot of underused character, I seriously almost never see her and keep bumping into Slugging Nurses, Curving Blights, Trickster downing you in 0.1 milliseconds because there were no walls nearby when doing a gen in the open and, worst of all, Plague players..

Been waiting for it

I always forget Hag even exists and when I do remember her I thank God that Ruin showed up in the blood web during my first month of playing.

"The only other killer that was minimally reworked like her, to my knowledge, is Myers" "Pyramid Head has entered the chat"

Can we appreciate how Rowby never fails to make a great video? Every singe video of his is absolutely amazing!

Hags one of the only killers who scares me when i trigger her traps especially if i dont expect a trap like in the middle of no where. Usually i expect them near a pallet or door or gens but sometimes they will just be in the middle of map for no reason lol

I don't play dead by daylight (not my type of game), but love people explaining, theory crafting and giving advice about games.

ive mained hag for 3 years ive been looking forward to this.

6:11 are we just not gonna talk about this smooth af transition

A stranger I remain. One of my favorite songs from Mgr.

Stranger i remain without vocals for outro? Ah,i see you are a man of culture as well.

I'm a Plague main & I'm awaiting this hypothetical plague video of yours

The opening caught me OFF GAURD LMAO 🤣 😂 😆 💀

Hey man, not like I’m here for just the gag, I value your take on any part of this game. Even if you did a trickster vid, which you won’t because you have standards, I’d just kick back and enjoy you furiously roasting every part of his kit and lore.

You actually killed me with the comment about Hag being the last creaky floorboard of DBD.

its extremely hilarious that Rowby of all people unironically likes RCPD. also the Hag, she needs her trap setting time increased, and also make it to where she can teleport to her traps if the survivors drop a pallet near it or blow up a gen near it, and also making her traps solid with collision as base kit instead of an add on, she would be insane

A lore reason for Hag being slow would be that she was in a fucked up situation where her muscles atrophied immensely, at least if iirc, it makes sense that rotted muscle would struggle to move a human skeleton but the voodoo magic somewhat compensates for her and allows her to move more maybe? it's a bit of headcannon but eh

I love how every single time I have run devour hope. It's been clensed 30 seconds into the game

"The demogorgan can pick where he teleports but he has to ride the Mta to get there"

17 minutes of Rowby lets go

NEW ROWBY VIDEO LETS FUCKING GOOOO MY DAY IS SAVED

she used to have a mud effect when leaving portals so you couldn't attack instantly, she also placed slower basekit - also she wasn't released in the game's "beta", she was release at least 7 months after that beta when the game was released fully on Steam

I came for the memes and stayed for the sub-par content. I love this channel

i know there was the little meme at the end but I've been getting back into overwatch and having a surprising amount of fun. i'd be down for an OW video

I love the dead man's switch kiss

Thumbnail is insanely drawn. Thsts why i clicked it

I used to main Hag before I did actually quit the game. Always come back for these videos tho.

Love the intro

Even after so many years in the game, a stranger she remains to me

As nemsis I actually did this with ruin for a good 40 seconds because they were trying to loop with a pallet all of the progress they did went to zero so yep ruin is a great passive.

Dead Hard, DS, BT, and Iron Will. The build that has NEVER FUCKING CHANGED!

I'm so pleased Dead by Daylgiht gets a mention in this video, love that game.

My guide on hag: Just like trapper, hag has few type of traps. First trap is protection traps. This traps are gonna protect the totems and gens the place you set them. Always place those but dont overdo it. Your max limit for this is 4 traps. Second trap is guaranteed hit trap. This traps are the traps that guarantees a hit. Place this on pallets and windows, teleport the moment they step on it and free hit. Like nurse blinks, this is unavoidable you can down survivors in miliseconds and skip chases with this. Third one is prediction traps. This trap is the trap that you place in random patches of grass near gens. If survivor steps two or three of those, he gets a hit. Fourth one is Plan breaker AKA "You may have outsmarted me but i outsmarted your outsmarting" traps. This traps are the ones that gets chained along traps. If someone does bait your traps, this will catch them off guard. If there is an open area like the fields, predict where are they gonna go.

They nerfed ruin to 100 percent regression and it gets rid of its self when a survivor dies

I watch dbd content for almost a year and never knew this killer exist😂

I played against a Hag who used mint rag I was completely oblivious to the fact that this addon exists even though I am with this game since day 1 lol

0:12 exactly, it’s power play.

While you joking about cumogorgon i actually saw hntai with Oni(Minothaur skin), Mikaela and Demogorgon. This was f awesome

I JUST STARTED PLAYING THIS GAME AND HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE AND TRIED TO FIND A GUIDE JUST TO HAVE MY DECISIONS RIPPED INTO AND RIDICULED FOR 5 MINS LMAOOOO

this guy roasted my entire taste in killers good grief

I only clicked this so I can learn and only use the knowledge for completing the 4th tome book challenges which includes Hag and Ace.

If she was made today, she wouldn't be able to attack after teleporting

This is why I'm personally hoping for instead of new killers. Killer update chapters. Give us real trailers, update powers and looks for the older killers, aside from Nurse and Doc. So that way, rather then having them feel off in this new environment, they get up to speed, and it doesn't feel like a gamble when playing survivor if you're gonna have a free game, or a hard game.

I remember when Hag first came out her trap screech caused my ear to bleed, it was that loud lol Also yeah reason 1is why I barely use totems lol

we finally have a jerks guide to my main. time to take some notes

I worry that now that you've casted attention upon the "Squeek floor board" we're gonna get that fix

i finally found what i was looking for

Now ladies and gentlemen, we wait for the legion video update

I'm a brand new player and Empathy blows my mind because it basically lets you see people whenever you actually need to see them. The only exception is when I'm injured but even then I rather just use my plunderers instinct to go get a med kit

There's something so fitting that the most popular hashtag about this game on Twitter is misspelled.

As someone that actually plays a good Hag, here's what I would change: 1) Rework Rusty Shackles to be basically a Franklin's Demise add-on. She needs this perk to counter flashlights, so it makes sense to give it to her as an add-on (Twins have one too), and Shackles are a crutch to baby Hags. It's honestly not even that difficult to counter it's just boring AF because you have to almost crouch walk everywhere. They are dumb to play against and just abused by bad Hags. If you are a good Hag you will destroy survivors without this add-on easily. 2) When she hooks a survivor, any traps within let's say 8m get destroyed. This should help with camping a bit, at least give you the chance to run in or out of the save instead of it being instant death. 3) Combine Scarred Hand and Waterlogged Shoe and rework the other one to do something new and fun. There is never a reason to run just one of these add-ons, just get rid of the waste and make it 1 add-on.

"The fact that her name is the hag and her favorite song is probably by Elton Jon" got me laughing so hard. I now understand why I mained her for so long.

I may be mistaken but I feel like the hag did get some changes, I don't think the hand addon was there on release and I remember an update that made the traps deploy quicker. Again, I may be wrong about it.

I come in to hear your take on how to play Hag and get insulted for my choice in having fun with hag. 10/10 intro

Hag after a perfect win: "Yep even after all these years, *I still got it."*

Dear intro i came for u hag im good at

"Call of Brine" is the new Ruin. But instead of regressing the generator it alerts the killer it's being worked it. It also runs out and needs to be reapplied by the killer, but the survivors also don't know that they're under the effect of Call of Brine.

(15:49) Fort was in the name Fortnite because there's another mode that was being developed before the abandoned it for BR (you can still play it but it's been effectively put on maintenance mode with the community getting the scraps of it's more popular younger, more profitable sibling), where you built a Fort and defended it for an extended period of time. Hence, Fortnite. They restructured and renamed it to Fortnite: Save the World since by that time Fortnite had become a brand.

I won't lie , I do love this killer , it's just effective and a good example like the Assassin skills, had to be converted to teleportation or something like that Or they are relieved to a niche that very few people use(In high Ranks )

The only time I even play killer in DBD is a private match with one friend. I main the hag just to screw with him.
