    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 want to have SI pets stopping infected from hitting you rather than reflecting the damage back at them, you can swap out the Deflection Suit Buff for the |E| Cupid's Arrow 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 prefer to ignite the infected with a buff rather than by chance to save yourself from possible pins, you can swap out the |E| Enhanced Anger Ignition Buff for the Immolation Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to receive full heals with your first aid kit over reduced heals, you can swap out the Tenacity Buff for the |V| War Wounds Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to protect yourself from SI pins using |E| Berserk Buff rather than with the |V| Protective Bag Buff, you can swap the buffs.
    • if you want to have a buff that can ignite/stun infected nearby rather than dealing more true damage to them, you can swap out the |V| Bird Whistle Buff for the |C| Discharger Buff. If you want to instead be able to stop the infected from trying to get you easily and hold them back a bit, you can swap out either buff for the |E| Repulsion Wall Buff.
    • If you prefer to have a buff to prevent all alive survivors from getting pinned over preventing yourself from getting pinned when you resurrect yourself, you can swap out the |E| Hidden Strength Buff for the |E| Non-Aggression Pact Buff.
    • If you want to be able to stop crowd control from revenge targets over having a charger pet help you against the infected, you can swap out the |E| Charger Pet Buff for the Avenger Buff.
    • If you prefer to have a faster firing drone that also gives support against CI rather than a more damaging drone that only supports against SI and tanks, you can swap out the |V| Assassin Drone for the |E| Helping Drone.
