How to play The Plague?

At the start of the trial, figure out the general placement of the gens, study out your defense plan and decide which nearby gens to defend. Abandon the gens that were difficult for you to defend.After the strategy is finalized, quickly start patrolling the map. While patrolling, keep an eye on your surroundings and listen carefully to the sound of the gens.Remember to use your Vile Purge on gens and any nearby objects while patrolling. This discourages the Survivors from wanting to repair gens, but also lets you know a gen you've infected has been touched. You can also use your Vile Purge on the Hex Totems periodically so you can get a warning if a Survivor tries cleansing them.During the chase, try to get yourself on the back of the Survivors then charge a full use of your Vile Purge. If you hit the entire stream, the Survivors will instantly go into the broken state, which means they can be one-shot. Once you get them into the broken state, take them down with your basic attack.When you take down the Infected Survivor, check your surroundings. If you find someone, quickly start another chase! Because other Survivors can also be infected if they pick up the downed Survivor, whose fully infected, which applies tons of pressure on them! Otherwise, pick up the downed Survivor and put them on the hook.After you hooked a Survivor, check your surroundings to make sure no one is here, then start patrolling nearby gens to find your next target, and don't forget to use Vile Purge on gens and other objects at the same time.At certain loops, if the Survivor attempts to drop the pallet, or perform a vaulting action, you can quickly use your Vile Purge on them at that moment. If the Survivor tries to loop you at larger areas or areas with higher obstacles, it is necessary to stop using your Vile Purge and use your basic attack instead.If you take down a Survivor who is not infected, use your Vile Purge while they're on the floor, or use it under their feet while they're on the hook. Keep in mind it does not put them into the broken state for doing so.If you can't catch the Survivor in time, infect them with your Vile Purge and abandon the chase, then look for your next target! Because when a Survivor is infected, they will doing nothing except looking for Pool of Devotion most of the time. That means that's one less Survivor doing gens. Fewer Survivors on gens means more time for you to down and hook Survivors.Even if they're not trying to cleanse themselves, they will still end up getting themselves into broken state! Survivors and any objects contacted with them will also be infected, which interferes other Survivors! If a survivor is infected, you can find them easily, as you can slightly hear their coughing and vomiting sound. Survivors whose fully infected will also emit disease clouds that make them easier to see.If the Survivor does cleanse themselves, the Pool of Devotion becomes corrupted, this prevents other Survivors from using it. When you hear an ocean sound effect, be on to look out for the white aura to appear, which was the Pool of Devotion the Survivor just finished cleansing, so you can use the aura of Pool of Devotion to track down Survivors.Once you used the Pool of Devotion, find Survivors and down them with your Corrupt Purge as soon as possible. While aiming the Corrupt Purge, spray your stream instead of focusing your fire, so try to wiggle the stream slightly while releasing it. This will not only make the Survivors unable to predict your attack direction but also expand the hitbox of the stream!Same as Vile Purge, you can quickly use your Corrupt Purge at the moment when the Survivors attempt to drop the pallet or perform a vaulting action, which is basically a free hit.However, avoid focus too much on Corrupt Purge, as the Corrupt Purge occasionally your great bonuses, not your main power! Otherwise, you might end up becoming a Huntress that doesn't have to aim very much.Leave Corrupt Pools of Devotion that are out of the way alone. This forces other Survivors to cleanse themselves closer to where you're patrolling, and doing so you have a much shorter run to a Corrupt Pools of Devotion.Using Corrupt Pools of Devotion is only worth if you do not have to travel far to actually get there because of the duration, the lack of mobility, and the audible warning the Survivors actually get when you used it. So try to ignore Corrupt Pools of Devotion that are far away from Survivors and objectives.
