I love all of the killers in this game, but The Pig is such a fun killer and I get asked frequently by various people what the best builds on her are. As the game adds updates and nerfs, this list is subject to change, and this is also just my humble opinion. ENJOY!

This list will be the top 5 builds for The Pig in Dead by Daylight.

5. Saw Storyline Immersion

This build was designed with the actual saw films in mind. So this was is more about fun than viability, but that isn’t to say that they aren’t good perks to run on this amazing killer.

Gearhead (The Deathslinger) - After a Survivor loses a Health State, Gearhead activates:
While Gearhead is active, a Survivor succeeding a Great Skill Check while repairing reveals their Aura to you for Several Seconds, after which Gearhead deactivates.
Corrupt Intervention (The Plague) - 3 generators located furthest from you are blocked by The Entity for up to 120 seconds (depending on the Tier of the perk) at the start of the trial. Survivors cannot repair these generators for the duration.
Deathbound (The Executioner) - When a Survivor heals another Survivor for the equivalent of 1 Health State at least 32 meters away from you, that Survivor will scream, revealing their location and activating Deathbound:
For the next 60 seconds, that Survivor suffers from the Oblivious Status Effect when farther than Several Meters away from the healed Survivor.
Dead Man’s Switch (The Deathslinger) - After hooking a Survivor, Dead Man's Switch activates for the next 35/40/45 seconds:
While activated, any Survivor that stops repairing a Generator before it is fully repaired causes The Entity to block the Generator until Dead Man's Switch's effect ends.
Affected Generators are highlighted by a white Aura.

4. Peeping Pig

This build among other builds in this list is focused on sneaking around and being able to find survivors easily.

Hex: Plaything (The Cenobite) - If there is at least one Dull Totem remaining in the Trial Grounds, Hex: Plaything activates on a random Totem each time a Survivor is hooked for the first time:
The hooked Survivor suffers from the Cursed and Oblivious Status Effects until Hex: Plaything is cleansed.
For the first 90 seconds, only the Cursed Survivor can cleanse the Hex Totem.
The Aura of Hex: Plaything's Hex Totem is revealed to the Cursed Survivor within Several Meters.
The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing.
Thrilling Tremors (The Ghost Face) - After picking up a Survivor, all Generators not currently being repaired by Survivors are blocked by The Entity for the next 16 seconds.
The Auras of blocked Generators are highlighted to you in white.
Thrilling Tremors has a cool-down of Several Seconds.
Bamboozle (The Clown) - This perk allows you to block one window at a time after vaulting it, with up to a 15% increase in vault speed.
Whispers (Generic Perk) - This perk alerts you via the perk glowing when Survivors are up to 32 meters within your proximity.

3. Unstoppable Chase

This build was designed to excel within the chase mechanic of the game.

Save The Best For Last (The Shape) - You become obsessed with one Survivor.
Each time you hit a Survivor other than your Obsession with a Basic Attack, Save the Best for Last gains 1 Token, up to a maximum of 8 Tokens:
Gain a stackable 5% Cool-down reduction on successful attacks per Token, up to a maximum of 40%.
Spirit Fury (The Spirit) - After breaking up to 4 pallets (depending on the Tier of the perk), the next time you are stunned by a pallet, The Entity will instantly break the pallet.
Enduring (The Hillbilly) - Reduces pallet stun duration by 40/45/50% (depending on the Tier of the Perk).
Whispers (Generic Perk) - This perk alerts you via the perk glowing when Survivors are up to 32 meters within your proximity.

2. Exposed

This build was designed for being able to expose and make survivors one-hit downable fairly easily if played properly.

Lethal Pursuer (The Nemesis) - At the start of the Trial, all survivors' Auras are revealed to you for 7/8/9 seconds.
Hex: Haunted Ground (The Spirit) - Two trapped Hex Totems will spawn in the Trial. When either one of the two trapped Hex Totems is cleansed by a Survivor, all Survivors suffer from the Exposed status effect for up to 60 seconds (dependent on the Tier of the perk). The remaining trapped Hex Totem immediately becomes a Dull Totem.
Hex: Undying (The Blight) - While Hex: Undying is active, Survivors within 2 meters of any totem have their aura revealed for up to 6 seconds (depending on the Tier of the perk). When another Hex totem is cleansed, it transfers to an available dull totem around the map, losing any tokens in the process.
Hex: Retribution (The Deathslinger) - Survivors cleansing or blessing any Totem suffer from the Oblivious Status Effect for Several Seconds.
After cleansing or blessing a Hex Totem, the Auras of all Survivors are revealed to you for 15 seconds.

1. Sneaky Piggy

This build was designed for the ultimate sneaky piggy.

Barbeque & Chili (The Cannibal) - Every time you hook a Survivor, this perk will activate giving away the location or auras of all Survivors within the 40-meter radius of the hook. If they are close to you or hiding in a locker, this perk won’t reveal them.
Corrupt Intervention (The Plague) - 3 generators located furthest from you are blocked by The Entity for up to 120 seconds (depending on the Tier of the perk) at the start of the trial. Survivors cannot repair these generators for the duration.
Affected generators are highlighted by a white aura.
Monitor & Abuse (The Doctor) - Your base Terror Radius is increased by 8 meters.
Whenever you are outside of a Chase, your Terror Radius is reduced by 16 meters while your Field of View is increased by 3/5/10 degrees (depending on the tier of the perk).
Save The Best For Last (The Shape) - You become obsessed with one Survivor.
Each time you hit a Survivor other than your Obsession with a Basic Attack, Save the Best for Last gains 1 Token, up to a maximum of 8 Tokens:
Gain a stackable 5% Cool-down reduction on successful attacks per Token, up to a maximum of 40%.
Each time you hit your Obsession with a Basic Attack, Save the Best for Last loses 4/3/2 Tokens.
When the Obsession is sacrificed or killed, you can neither gain nor lose any more Tokens.
You can only be obsessed with one Survivor at a time.
