    3. General Dominator: Removes map limits. On non-finale/survival maps, max stacks reduced to 10 and -5 seconds faster stack decay. (Finale Dominator)
    4. Shared Excitement: Survivors nearby gain half (min. 1) of what you gain. <Also works on Over Excitement> (Excitement)

    6. Furious Ignition: Increases chance to activate to 3%. <Also works on Enhanced Anger Ignition> (Anger Ignition)

    Notes: <top>
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the Finale Dominator Buff.
    • If you're levelling up any class from class level 4 to class level 5, the Deflection Suit Buff would be the best to replace since removing it from your buff set gives the least amount of impact on your Controller Class abilities, you can swap it out for the |Q| Prowess Buff.
    • if you prefer to be able to stop special infected pins from current revenge targets with a buff enhancement rather than have a chance to ignite infected around you or set them on fire, you can swap out the Anger Ignition Buff for the Avenger Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to tank the infected while you're incapacitated and have ways to regain health with a buff enhancement over having increased maximum HP for more tankiness, you can swap out the Tenacity Buff for the Mindset Change Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set:
    • Be sure to get the Special Infected to target you instead of the other survivors. That way, you can use the Unstoppable Buff to it's full effectiveness, letting you help the other survivors avoid most infected damage from pins. You can also make this easier to do using the Torment ability whenever you need any CI/SI aggros yourself.
    • If you are low on magazine size and are anticipating an incoming tank attack in the next few moments, be sure to reload your weapon while you're continuing to aggro the tank. This can be effectively used with the Reload Priority ability after you have healed in case you know that you're still getting aggro'd at the current time.
    • You can use the Defiance ability after the |E| Non-Aggression Pact Buff is activated by another survivor to stop anymore nearby survivors from being pinned down by SI and give them tank knockback resistance with the Global Defiance ability. This can be very helpful for getting the survivors quickly back into the fight or letting them retreat more safely.
