VECNA BUILDS
Welcome to the Vecna Builds page. Here you will be presented with various builds that I find powerful, interesting and worthy of trying. There are many builds that work on Vecna so feel free to try things out.
Obsession Build
Perks used: Rapid Brutality - Nemesis - Furtive Chase - Friends Till The End
Add-ons used: Staff of Withering - Raven's Feather
This is the Exposed Obsession build that I love to run on Vecna. This build features no slowdown, so it is very important to use the Haste and Undetectable wisely! The idea behind this build is to chase a Survivor, down them and then hook! If the Survivor is your Obsession, you will be granted a new Obsession from Friends Till The End and they will scream! This also triggers Nemesis, which makes the new Obsession Oblivious for 60 seconds and shows you their Aura for 8 seconds! Furtive Chase also procs which means the Obsession doesn't know where you are but you know where they are and you can go for them with 10% Haste from Furtive and Undetectable for 18 seconds! If you happen to hook someone who is not your Obsession, you will see the Obessions aura and you can pursue them. This playstyle is basically rinse and repeat, follow your Obsession, hook them, get rewarded with info and speed!
The Add-ons used are Staff of Withering and Raven's Feather. Staff of Withering allows you to cast your Dispelling Sphere on the Survivors, which makes them Exhausted for 30 seconds (blocking them from using things like Dead Hard and Lithe) and Raven's Feather gives you longer Fly! Perfectly matching the rinse and repeat formula!

Add-ons
Pallet Destroyer Build
Perks used: Brutal Strength - Enduring - Spirit Fury - Fire Up
Add-ons used: Vorpal Sword - Robe of Eyes
Tired of Pallets? Let me introduce you to the Pallet Destroyer build! This build is so much fun on Vecna, you should not be afraid of getting stunned and remember that you can use this to your advantage! The idea behind this build is to chase Survivors, do not respect any Pallets and if they stun you Enduring will kick in and you can break the Pallet quickly with the quicker stun cooldown and faster with Brutal Strength plus Fire Up! After you have broken two Pallets, Spirit Fury activates, this is really good for Vecna because it means the next time you get stunned the Entity will destroy the Pallet for you and with Enduring you will recover extremely quickly! This means you will be granted a free hit on the Survivor! I like this build because when I have Spirit Fury ready, I tend to decide when I want it to be used! I still have Mage Hand ready, so this build gives you more control and power in chase! You can either use your Spirit Fury or your Mage Hand, which one is up to you! As the game progresses, so does your Fire Up perk, leading to some insanely fast Pallet breaking speeds!
The Add-ons used are Vorpal Sword, which allows you to use your Mage Hand on a downed Pallet and this will spawn in a big magic hand that then turns into a fist and breaks the Pallet for you! It is worth noting that when this animation begins, the Survivors cannot vault the Pallet, meaning if they are about to vault the Pallet and you cast Mage Hand right there, they will be stuck and you can get a free hit! Vorpal Sword also powers your Dispelling Sphere, when a Survivor is injured, casting Dispelling Sphere on them will have them scream and they will become Broken for 30 seconds! Meaning they cannot be healed! Very good to do when someone is just rescued off a hook. The other Add-on is the Robe of Eyes! Everytime you use one of your spells, if a Survivor is within 6 meters of a magical chest their aura will be shown for 4 seconds! This is actually really good because I like to think of it as a pocket version of Lethal Pursuer! As the trial starts, cast Dispelling Sphere shortly after spawning in, see some Survivors aura and then Fly towards them! Most Survivors always go for a chest at the beginning so you should see good consistent value from this Add-on! I have games where I am chasing someone around shack and everytime I use a spell I see them through the walls because a chest is inside of shack! It can be very good.
Perks
Add-ons
Exposed Build
Perks used: Agitation - Starstruck - Distressing - Rapid Brutality
Add-ons used: Robe of Eyes - Raven's Feather
This build is more so on the fun side of things, not including any slowdown. The idea is to take advantage of a larger terror radius through Distressing and infect as many people as possible with Starstruck. You use Agitation to spread the radius more and to also hook quicker so that you can then instantly Fly to any survivor nearby and get them whilst they are still exposed! This works great on smaller maps. Robe of Eyes works to give you more info through aura reveal and Raven's Feather helps reach people quickly. You could probably swap Rapid Brutality out for something else that fits this kind of build.
Perks
Add-ons
Hybrid Build
Perks used: Bamboozle - Rapid Brutality - Pain Resonance - Dead Mans Switch
Add-ons used: Robe of Eyes - Staff of Withering
This hybrid build allows you to not only stay strong in chase but to also apply decent gen pressure. Bamboozle is key to shutting down vaults around T&L walls and things such as shack. Rapid Brutality also stacks on top of your Fly so by M1'ing a Survivor then instantly Flying on to them will see your catch up potential improved! Pain Res and DMS will act as remote slowdown.
Perks
Add-ons
Full Slowdown Build
Perks used: Corrupt Intervention - Dead Mans Switch - Pain Resonance - Grim Embrace
Add-ons used: Iridescent Book of Vile Darkness - Ornate Horn
Looking for a build that maximises slowdown? This is the one for Vecna! At the start of the match Corrupt Intervention buys you crucial time to gather pressure in the early game, this works by blocking the furthest 3 generators which is usually where the Survivors spawn. This makes Survivors travel, buying you time when the Killer is at their weakest in the early game. There is also a chance you will get into a chase easier because the Survivors have to travel which means there is a higher chance of them funnelling themselves into you! DMS, Pain Res and Grim Embrace all work by hooking and chasing! This build does not have you kicking generators, instead it keeps you mobile so your only objective is to chase and hook.
When using the Iri Book and the Ornate Horn, capitalise on using these addons to get guarenteed hits on Survivors who choose to camp pallets.
