    Notes:
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the |E| Dying Berserk Buff.
    • If you prefer to get around areas faster with movement abilities than needing to help other survivors by teleporting them out of danger and teleporting near other survivors, you can swap out the |E| Displacement Buff for the Mobility Master Buff. If you instead prefer to level up any class at class level 4 to class level 5, you can swap out either buff for the |Q| Prowess Buff.
    • If you want to help out the survivors with damage on the tank, resurrecting of a number of survivors or infected crowd control over healing and clearing of bad statuses on survivors, you can swap out the Health Dispenser Buff for the |C| Discharger Buff.
    • If you want to help save the survivors from a wipe rather than giving them any ammo piles, you can swap out the |E| Ammo Dispenser Buff for the |E| Sacrifice Buff.
    • If you do find that a wall is better at protecting the survivors compared to a turret in some situations, you can swap out the |E| Slaying Automata Buff for the |E| Repulsion Wall Buff.
    • If you don't want extra survivability but want something that can potentially help save all survivors from a game over, you can swap out the Finale Dominator Buff for the |E| Non-Aggression Pact Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set:
    • It's up to you to decide how to best support the survivors, whether they'd need an offensive/defensive/healer/support player. Whatever it is you decide to do, do your best in handling the infected to the best of your abilities.
    • Supporting the survivors with ammo piles, turret placements and or well timed ability uses can help to turn the tide of an infected battle, be sure to use those critical moments well when you know the survivors are in trouble!
