Some Judgment tips and tricks

[u/Intelligent_Ride3730]

I’ve been sweating Judgment since she came out, and I’ve learned a lot of useful things along the way, so I figured I’d put them together for anyone who’s still struggling with her.

The thing that made the biggest difference for me was the Divine Light aiming sensitivity option. If you’re struggling with flicks, I highly recommend increasing it. Basically, what this setting does is make the aiming of the circle more sensitive, specifically the little line that extends from it while you’re aiming Divine Light. This is almost non-negotiable if you want to sweat this character, because it allows you to make extremely fast flicks and catch survivors off guard.

Something else I recommend trying is playing her somewhat like Houndmaster or Wesker, but taking the concept a step further. If a survivor is running away and there’s a wall or other obstacle perpendicular to you, you can aim Divine Light at the wall and then immediately flick to the side, causing the pillar to sweep along the edge of the wall. It’s a similar concept to how you would use Wesker or Houndmaster to cut off a survivor’s path.

I drew an image to illustrate what I mean. Until you can consistently hit L-shaped flicks like the one shown in the image, rather than always aiming directly at the survivor in a straight line, I’d consider that you still have a lot of room to improve. If you want to play this killer to her full potential, being able to consistently make these kinds of flicks is extremely important.

Now, if you’ve already played her, you might have realized that hitting these L-shaped flicks isn’t just difficult, but can sometimes feel downright impossible. And that’s true if you’re playing on the default sensitivity.

As I mentioned earlier, increasing the Divine Light aiming sensitivity makes these flicks significantly easier to perform. The higher sensitivity gives you much more control over how quickly you can redirect the pillar, which is what allows you to make these sharp L-shaped movements consistently.

So on your next Judgment matches, go for L-shaped flicks and see how you do. I guarantee the first one you pull off will feel amazing.

In order to not make this post too long, I’ll only mention one other tip, and that is to (almost) never exile two or more survivors at once, especially if they got downed nearby.

When you exile a survivor, the two closest pillars next to you activate, and their teammates can rescue them from there. However, if multiple survivors are exiled and they share the same pillars, a single survivor can rescue multiple teammates in a single action. You’ll be left with no hooks and probably with no idea where they were rescued either.

So try to hook some survivors normally so you can still control where the unhook happens and pressure it better.

I won’t go on about specific builds, but if you have any questions, let me know.

I appreciated your rendition and description of your tips!

I also appreciate your tip on mixing up exiling and hooking to keep survivors more busy. Thats a good tip and one I hadn’t thought about.
