Guilt
SPremium Giant — 7,000 Coins
Abilities
Q: Wide-hitbox Attack. G: Haunt (tracks survivors through walls). Slow turn but devastating in corridors.
Best Map
City — dominates hallways and stairwells where survivors can't escape
Survivor Counter
Spread out in open areas. Use vertical escapes. Never group in corridors.
Pro Tips
Use Haunt right after visibility pulses — survivors must relocate, making them easy to track. Push them into dead-end rooms.
Locust
BStarter Giant — Free

Q: Standard Attack. G: Haunt. Balanced speed and hitbox. Best for learning Giant mechanics.
Best Map
Forest — open terrain lets Locust sprint and close gaps effectively
Survivor Counter
Use vertical escapes and tight corners. Locust struggles with rooftop chases.

Patrol between bush clusters after pulses. Survivors reuse the same spots — check them systematically.
