    This Buff Set is situated more towards defense increases on you against Special Infected so you can take less damage from them. This also involves killing Boomers so they can't slap you as high and having greater protection against Tanks while incapacitated.

    ^ Indicates that the Buff is temporary and will expire after a certain period of time has passed.
    * Indicates that the Buff is a second option to the first buff being recommended here and is also indicated within the Notes section of the Buff Set.
    + Indicates that the Buff has a Buff Enhancement that can be applied to it.

    Notes: <top>
    • If you want to have some defense while having temporary health using a buff enhancement over having a chance to ignite nearby infected, you can swap out the Anger Ignition Buff for the Pain Stimulant Buff.
    • If you prefer to have reduced bleed out rate while within sight of a nearby survivor rather than reduced bitch slap power, you can swap out the Counter Slap Buff for the Hope on Sight Buff.
    • If you prefer to have increased defense over resistance to being slowed down, you can swap out the |E| Slow Resistance Buff for the Group Morale Buff.
