    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're levelling up any class from class level 4 to class level 5, the |E| Zapping Gun Buff would be the best to replace since removing it from your buff set gives the least amount of impact on your Bloody/Supreme Bloody Tank fights, you can swap it out for the |Q| Prowess 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 get rid of curse quickly from you and other nearby survivors who have it over healing it off after taking lethal; damage, you can swap out the |V| Guardian Dispenser Buff for the |E| Cleansing Pills Buff.
    • If you want to be able to gain temporary health after taking damage over transferring curse from your bodyguarded survivor to yourself with a buff enhancement, you can swap out the |E| Bodyguard Buff for the |E| Pain Moderation Buff.
    • If you want to give all survivors affected by your AOE skills moustachio bless rather than being able to deal huge damage overtime to the tanks, you can swap out the |E| Berserk Buff for the |E| Supporting Role Buff.
    • If you want to be able to heal curse off of you and other nearby survivors rather than trying to avoid any damage from the tank, you can swap out the Mobility Master Buff for the Health Dispenser Buff.
    • If you want to try avoiding becoming immune to curse/reducing it's duration over reviving other incapacitated survivors, trying to save them from any tank damage, you can swap out the |E| Courage Buff for the |E| Reactive Inoculation Buff. If you instead prefer to gain defense while having temporary health, you can swap out either buff for the Pain Stimulant Buff.
    • If you want to try healing curse off of affected survivors using a first aid kit/defibrillator with a buff enhancement over displacing the aggro target of the tank, you can swap out the |E| Displacement Buff for the Special First Aid Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • If you see any survivor get cursed, do your best to save them in whatever way possible. Be it curing their curse, aggroing the tank over to you or being their bodyguard and sacrificing yourself for them. Whatever you decide to do, make it count.
    • The Supreme Bloody Tank can be damaged more if you use |E| Berserk Buff while the tank has killed someone, and take on it's aggro. You can also allow the other survivors to not go near the tank as a result of said aggro, however it may get you killed.
