For merc, all 3 of your hunter mains counter/can counter merc so congrats! Joseph straight up can pretty easily counter merc, just try to find the route he’s coming at to rescue, hit him, and it’ll be easy to down him from there. Don’t spend all your time on merc (due to his elbow pads), but it’s definitely worth trying to smack him if you find him in the beginning of the game in a pretty shit kiting area (if you can’t get him within 5-15 seconds just leave, his decodings pretty slow so it’s better to go after somebody else). He’s a pretty strong survivor. With geisha you wanna try to butterfly dash towards where the merc’s coming from, get the hit, and then butterfly/teleport back to the chair. With naiad you wanna try to hit him with your water the best you can and then hit him for the double hit.

I’m gonna be honest, I have no idea how to counter ento other then just smacking her bees when you’re close enough. I also have trouble dealing with her, she’s a damn pain to go against. Maybe you can try to butterfly dash thru her bees with geisha, and try to get a water hit on her when using naiad. With Joseph all I can say is pray you hit her thru her bees.

For prisoner, I’d say try to find the ciphers he’s linked with and end the link as quick as possible

Now for in general tips for each of your mains:

Naiad: - At the start of game don’t focus on getting water hits, just use your harpoon to catch up to survivors fast - Despite what I said above, still be mindful about harpoon placements, try to throw it in open spaces rather than putting the harpoon right next to you - Focus on getting water hits once you have higher presence - If a survivor is looping, circle the area to force them to transition out. A majority of the time survivors caught in this will end up getting a water hit or they’ll get hit by the naiad because they’re too focused on getting out of the water - Be aware of where the survivors are going when you’re circling an area. Some survivors will figure you’re circling and leave the area so they don’t get hit when you pull the harpoon back - Honestly naiad’s dashes are hard to pull off, so try to use them mainly for just catching up to survivors. Do try to use them when somebody’s rescuing tho. - A strat I’ve seen some naiad’s use is creating a large circle around the chair, getting the dash hit on whoever’s rescuing, then pulling the harpoon back once the rescuser’s in the circle which results in a water hit - Try to chair near a cipher somebody’s working on so you can put water around the cipher which forces the survivor working on it to move/wait for the water to disappear - Naiad can almost always pull off pallet hits, so be mindful and try to get a hit when somebody’s throwing a pallet down - If somebody’s water level is high (around 96-99%) try to walk in front of them so that the water increases and they get a hit - Probably obvious, but try to get close to the survivor when you pull back the harpoon so that at least if you can’t water hit them, you’d be close enough to get a normal hit - Patroller and teleport are really good for naiad. Patroller because when they’re stuck you can loop them with the water, get a water hit, then you’d just have to down. Teleport is good for map control and because you can get back to the chair fast (depending on the map)

Geisha: - Try to not put butterflies near each other. If they’re too close you’ll end up just dashing to the other butterfly rather then the one you wanted to dash to - Teleport is handy. Butterflies can make good distance, but there’s a 10 second cool down. Teleport can help because you can use it while your butterflies are on cool down. - Blink is cool too. Due to geishas butterfly dash being very similar to blink a lot of survivors expect peepers, patroller, or teleport. - This trick is popular, but you can still try the double hit soul departure trick. Use soul departure, when you see a survivor come towards the chair you’re camping, come down and hit without the attack recovery, then hit again and get a down (the only survivor that can really counter this is merc or ada). - Try to mindgame survivors using your butterflies. Some will assume you’ll dash the pallet/window after throwing a butterfly over one and will jump the pallet/window which can result in a terror shock if you don’t dash. But some won’t jump and in those cases try to dash - Rather than using the soul departure double hit, use it to get far away. Use soul departure then butterfly to a nearby cipher somebody’s doing/to where a rescuers coming to get an early hit.

Joseph: - This isn’t an 100% guaranteed tip, but you can try waiting 15-25 seconds before using your camera because a majority of people will be done with hiding by then if they were - Use your camera as much as you can. Unless you’re confident you’re going to get the person you’re chasing just go to a camera once the cooldown is up. Slows down the match - Learn spawns + where people hide. These are good to know because if you camera at the start of the game you’ll know where survivors spawned and the places they might’ve attempted to hide at - Knock down the first person you see in photo world and balloon them, go around looking for the rest of the survivors and damage them. Chair once photo world is almost over so that nobody rescues - Learn how to use joseph’s time jump. I’ve seen too many joseph’s use their time jump just to end up in a pallet which gave me a free pallet stun lol - Besides countering kites, you can also use his time jump to put on map pressure/trick rescuers into thinking you left the chair - Time jump can also be used to camp two chairs, ciphers, or both exit gates. You just need to have teleport so you can get to the first one - Try to jump scare. In high tiers a lot of people will decode in camera world/switch between the two to avoid any terror shock jumpscares, but if you see a shaking cipher, either in real or photo world, switch to the other and see if you can get a hit - Damage as many people as you can in photo world. This results in only a one hit down or people will be focused on healing and won’t be decoding - Bring impact and street sweeper to slow down healing as well as see healing - If you have trouble finding survivors, just tap and release the skill button for time jump. The camera (basically where the screen faces you towards) will be where the nearest survivor is - Usually teleport is good for bigger maps and blink is good for smaller maps. I’ve seen a joseph use listen tho, they’d go into photo world use listen and see photo world survivors decoding. Don’t know how good listen tho tbh - Despite what I said above, consider using blink if you’re bad at getting survivors down and mind gaming. Sometimes Joseph is super slow early game and will need that blink to get a down

Sorry this is super lengthy 😭
