He cannot do everything he could do before because he’s now bound to a cooldown on his power. Curving is now extremely harder because of how fast you overheat while reving, making it much more viable to just chase until you can guarantee a quick chainsaw down that doesn’t require any time to plan.
Surge, Surveillance, PGTW, STBFL is my favourite build. Usuaully use a rope and a drawing (not the bloodpoints one).
Lullaby, Overcharge, PGTW, BBQ is also pretty fun. Usually use a drawing and a dress, but ropes are also good. The dress is the important one.
Alternatively, a decent Wraith build that I find works for me is:
Nurses, STBFL, PGTW, Corrupt Intervation. Use Windstorm and the Rare Blind Warrior, although double Windstorm and Windstorm/Swift Hunt are both good combos too.
I like running BBQ, stridor, corrupt intervention and pop in Spirit, works pretty well. You could try Oni maybe, during his power they are relatively similar. If you like chainsaws try new bubba that is probably going to be pretty fun, it is already imo.
Her Hitboxes aren't as bad as people make out - it's more of a latency issue.
So as long as you have good Internet she generally fits that Hillbilly niche of very well balanced.
She also has a great add-on set, one of the best in the game IMO, and doesn't depend on a single one of them.
She's not perfect (40 meter Lullaby makes stealth her nemesis and quite a few people hate her a lot), but she has a lot of interactivity in a chase and is far from weak.
If you liked Hillbilly because he was fun and rewarded you for gitting gud you'll probably like Huntress.
Gonna have to disagree here. As someone who mains Nurse I think her nerf is nowhere near as bad as Billy's. Billy's skill cap was absolutely erased. Sure they got rid of instasaw but they also killed his curve potential which is what separated the average Billys from the veterans. Nurse's change arguably raised her skill requirement although made her alot less new player friendly which was overall a nerf because it didn't raise her skill cap but only her skill requirement. Slapping a cooldown on Billy however just makes him a weak killer with a low skill ceiling. No more chainsaw mingames with stuff like feathering, no more curving, no more zoning. Gone. All of it. He might even be played less than Nurse mark my words.
I've always had fun with Pig, but I do also like Legion and Doctor. If you want something similar to Hillbilly, then try Oni. He's always been what I consider to be what Hillbilly should have been.
Nurse main here, even after the addon pass/rework nerf, Nurse is by far still the best killer in the game. If they fixed her bugs she'd still be in a solid state.
these kids, Im a survivor main who mains Spirit when he wants to play killer, BBQ for points and Stridor is all you need, I don't use Pop because she is already strong and i want points, so i just use surge
It's such a minor change. If you can't adapt to this small change then you're probably just bad at Billy in general. It's the dbd community in a nutshell tho, they change one small little thing and people make a huge deal out of it for absolutely no reason.
Nurses and sloppy are good on Spirit. I used it before it was meta, now every Spirit runs it and quite honestly its awful to play against lol
I dont play her that much but usually my build would be something like Nurses, Sloppy, Discordance, Corrupt. I’d swap discordance for BBQ if I wanted bloodpoints, and maybe seap sloppy or corrupt depending on the survivors. 4 items and I may have brought franklins etc
I recommend Deathslinger or Legion, but if you're looking to win id 100% recommend stridor spirit despite anyone saying it requires no skill (which it does take skill).
You don't ever need Enduring on Spirit. Even if you get stunned you catch up fast enough with your power. Monitor is also lackluster on her.
For a sweaty build, try BBQ, Pop, Stridor and either Nurse's or Sloppy.
For a not sweaty build, I like to use BBQ, Surge (or Corrupt), Agitation and some other perk. I usually use Fire Up (mostly because I don't play Spirit much so this is one of my only other level 3 perks, but also I like to meme).

How about devs fixed matchmaking, problems with swats and gen speeds instead of you coming here saying that completely destroying Billy is fine?
The nerf encourages backsaws, rather than discouraging them and encouraging plays that took skill.
He isn't the same. They gutted the best part out of him.
???

Reading his post history is...
the lol from post here them saying billy is fine are most likely survivor mains who never touch killer other maybe daily here or there.
Play Freddy cause spirit is disgusting :p

Oni was Bily's brother who was always just slightly under him, now Billy is worse than Oni. Try him out, similar instadown with map pressure

Those are so completely different situations, I can't even fathom how those two are related. I hope this is a meme or you're just having a bad day.
Plague, Ghostface, Deathslinger and Wraith are my favorites.
Survivor.
I say get a taste of the other killers, and pick 2 or 3 to switch between.
I moved on to deathslinger along with billy a while back. Now just a deathslinger main, no more billy :(
Doctor! Strong, fun to play, and laughs his ass off as Survivors descend into madness.
Hillbilly's always been unfun for me.

oh and for addons: Talisman and Wabaki are her best combo.
Spirit and Freddy are both good, with Freddy you can use something like:
BBQ, Pop, Sloppy and Thrilling tremors
If you get a swf you can use forever Freddy

Its not a "minor change"
I could "adapt" but billy isnt fun to play now so why should i keep playing him?
I only play on console and i love him i do really well
I would not main any killer if i was you. We all know what happens when people get good with a killer ;)
