Hag is a killer who specialises in the art of teleportation in the game, where he can teleport around the map using her traps. One of the downsides of teleporting is that a survivor has to activate the trap to make the Hag teleport which can be quite useful if the survivor is there; however, once in a chase with another survivor, it can be quite a waste. Some add-ons will allow for manual teleportation with certain cool-downs, which can be considered very powerful.
Nonetheless, let the fog reveal the best Hag Builds:
5. The Blood Favour Hag Build
Dead by Daylight gameplay by not Otzdarva
The Blood Favour Hag build, a build that favours the survivor's blood and where the build focuses on basic abilities and powers, mainly the start and the end of the game, which can be shown with perks such as No one escapes Death which allows you to down survivors instantly, and corrupt intervention, which blocks the furthest three generators away, which would then give you time to place all the traps on the other side without the other survivors seeing, making it quite advantageous, with no distractions.
Nonetheless, it is considered a great build for beginners, giving you a great probable chance of winning without using any skill.
What the Blood Favour Hag Build Excels In:
- With the perk No one Escapes Death, it will be much easier for the killer to sacrifice the survivors during the end game, especially where the killer has the opportunity to one-shot survivors until the moment the hex is to be cleansed by the survivors.
- With Deadlock, it will be highly advantageous for the killer as it would slow down the progress of the game, especially where it would block the most progressed generator, making it much easier for the killer to travel to the generator and therefore regress it to take as much time as possible.
Build details & perks:
- Corrupt Intervention: At the start of the Trial, the 3 Generators located farthest from you are blocked by The Entity for 80/100/120 seconds. Corrupt Intervention deactivates prematurely once the first Survivor is put into the Dying State.
- Deadlock: Whenever a Generator is completed, The Entity blocks the Generator with the most progression for 20/25/30 seconds. The Aura of the blocked Generator is revealed to you in white during this time.
- Sloppy Butcher: Wounds inflicted by Basic Attacks cause Survivors to suffer from Haemorrhage and Mangled. Status Effect: Increases the Bleeding frequency by 50/75/100 %. Increases the Regression rate at which partial Healing Progression is lost through Haemorrhage by 15/20/25 %. Both Status Effects are removed once the Survivor is fully healed.
- No one Escapes Death: Once the Exit Gates are powered, if there is still a Dull Totem on the Map, Hex: No One Escapes Death activates and lights it: Increases your movement speed by 2/3/4 %. Survivors suffer from a permanent Exposed Status Effect. 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 its Hex Totem to all Survivors within 4 metres and gradually expands that range to 24 metres over 30 seconds. The Hex effects persist until its Hex Totem is cleansed.
4. The Tilted Hag Survivor Build
Dead by Daylight gameplay by MSA_Matei
The Tilted Survivor Hag Build is a build that uses items and objects as an advantage to its build, making it an incredible build for chasing survivors, allowing you to effortlessly go through any pallets with the perk Dissolution, which will automatically break the pallet for you.
Nonetheless, other perks such as Pain Resonance and Franklin's Demise make a huge difference as they will take the generator and item advantage for the killer, making it one of the greatest annoying builds against the survivors.
What the Tilted Survivor Hag Build Excels In:
- The nasty perk of Franklin's Demise can be considered any survivor's nightmare, which makes survivors drop their items, which can be quite advantageous for the killer, especially when injured, they will not be able to use their med-kit, and therefore when you lose the survivor, you can stay near the med-kit until the survivor comes back.
- With the new perk Dissolution, it will automatically destroy any pallet when the survivor vaults, making it much easier and time efficient for the killer, as it doesn't have to break the pallet, and it is most effective in main pallets, where the only choice is to break it to go through.
Build details & perks:
- Franklin's Demise: Your vicious Basic Attacks make Survivors drop their Items on impact. If not recovered within 150/120/90 seconds, the lost Items will have their Charges depleted by The Entity. The Auras of lost Items are revealed to you within 32 metres and slowly fade from white to red as the timer elapses.
- Corrupt Intervention: At the start of the Trial, the 3 Generators located farthest from you are blocked by The Entity for 80/100/120 seconds. Corrupt Intervention deactivates prematurely once the first Survivor is put into the Dying State.
- Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance: At the start of the Trial, four random Hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks: The Auras of Scourge Hooks are revealed to you in white. Each time a Survivor is hooked on a Scourge Hook, the following effects apply: The Generator with the most Progression explodes, instantly losing 9/12/15 % of its Progression and starting to regress. Survivors repairing that Generator will scream but not reveal their location.
- Dissolution: Everything turns to dust. It is as inescapable as the coming of the night. Three seconds after injuring a Survivor by any means, Dissolution activates for 12/16/20 seconds: While Dissolution is active if a Survivor fast vaults over a Pallet while inside your Terror Radius, The Entity will break the Pallet at the end of the vault, deactivating Dissolution.
3. Hag "The Mean Robber" Build

Hag's "The Mean Robber" Build has very interesting perks, which makes her build very powerful. One of her perks that make a huge difference is the perk Make your choice, which allows you to teleport to the affected survivor, if lucky, and then down them, making it almost an instant double kill.
Nonetheless, other perks such as Hoarder have a huge advantage, especially with good add-ons where you can teleport manually and therefore teleport to the specific location effortlessly and get the chosen survivor, making it one of the best aura-revealing builds for the Hag.
What Hag "The Mean Robber" Build Excels In:
- With the perk, Make your choice is very powerful considering Hag's power, where she can teleport once the traps are activated, and if the survivor who is affected by Make your choice activates the trap, you would have the ability to automatically down her.
- The nasty perk of Franklin's Demise can be considered any survivor's nightmare, which makes survivors drop their items, which can be quite advantageous for the killer, especially when injured, they will not be able to use their med-kit, and therefore when you lose the survivor, you can stay near the med-kit until the survivor comes back.
Build details & perks:
- Franklin's Demise: Your vicious Basic Attacks make Survivors drop their Items on impact. If not recovered within 150/120/90 seconds, the lost Items will have their Charges depleted by The Entity. The Auras of lost Items are revealed to you within 32 metres and slowly fade from white to red as the timer elapses.
- Corrupt Intervention: At the start of the Trial, the 3 Generators located farthest from you are blocked by The Entity for 80/100/120 seconds. Corrupt Intervention deactivates prematurely once the first Survivor is put into the Dying State.

2. The Perma-Exposed Hag Build
Dead by Daylight gameplay by Not Otzdarva
The Perma-Exposed Hag Build is a build specialised for exposing survivors, activating every inch of the perk, and then using the advantage of those effects to find the survivors and expose them to death, allowing you to down the survivors effortlessly, making it one of the best-exposing builds for the Hag on this list.
Nonetheless, other perks include Hex: Plaything, which would cause the survivors to become oblivious for extra fun and games, making it harder for the survivors to progress within the game, and of course, the perk Remember Me, which would increase the opening time of opening the exit gates, which is quite powerful, overall making it a great universal exposing build.
What the Perma-Exposed Hag Build Excels In:
- With perks such as Hex: Plaything, it can be very annoying for the survivors, as its effect comes to blinding and making survivors oblivious once of the hook, which is very powerful, especially when they cannot find the hex, which would usually be in enclosed maps such as Midwich.
- With the perk, Make your choice is very powerful considering Hag's power, where she can teleport once the traps are activated, and if the survivor who is affected by Make your choice activates the trap, you would have the ability to automatically down her.

The Hex effects persist until its Hex Totem is cleansed.
