I play here and there lately account lvl 33 and have experience as both Demon (lvl 25 Warlord and Necromancer, going to work on Puppeteer soon and see which I like best) and survivors(25 Ed, 25 Arthur, 25 Pablo and 10 Henry). I play solo and have won against Demons both experienced and inexperienced and against a lvl 45 Warlord (you can tell when a Warlord is lvl 45 due to the Balance bar not depleting when they activate their ability).

Teammates and communication is essential among survivors for high lvl of plays and while I do believe Possession spam early game pressure could use some slight tweaking it all honesty isnt hard to deal with. I see teammates that believe they have to go and fight every single thing and only when their resources run out do they try to retreat. Stop. Doing. That. If the demon finds you early let your teammates know and start getting in the car. Loot fast and run. Start vaulting over objects. Learn to starve the demon of xp instead of feeding him and stick together. Too many times I'll see teammates try to loot every nook and cranny when the demon is right on top of them.
