The Hag: Best Add-Ons

Rope Necklace
Starting with the common add-ons, the Rope Necklace slightly increases The Hag’strap setting speed. This small bonus can help with quickly trapping loops while keeping Survivors pressured.
The Dead Fly Mud slightly increases The Hag’steleportation range, giving her a wider field from which she can stray from her web of traps while still endangering those who trigger them.
Pussy Willow Catkins
Teleporting to a Phantasm Trap can be somewhat disorientating, especially fornewerDead by Daylightplayers. The Pussy Willow Catkins reveals the auras of Survivors who trigger The Hag’s traps for3 seconds, giving you more information on a Survivor’s movements as they flee from the Phantasm.
Dragonfly Wings
An upgraded version of the Dead Fly Mud, the Dragonfly Wings increase teleportation range by12.5%. As The Hag can only teleport to traps within 48 meters by default, stacking these add-ons can give you greater map pressure.
Cypress Necklet
Like the Rope Necklace, the Cypress Necklet simply increases trap setting speed by15%. Since The Hag’s buffs, setting speeds are faster than ever, making traps more lethal and less cumbersome.
Willow Wreath
The Willow Wreath is a superior version of the Pussy Willow Catkins,revealing the aurasof those who trigger traps for5 seconds. Though these add-ons do not stack, they provide vital information on where The Hag ought to swing when she teleports.
Swamp Orchid Necklet
With the Swamp Orchid Necklet, trap setting speeds are buffed by20%.
Dried Cicada
The Dried Cicada gives The Hagenhanced teleportation rangewhich, when stacked, can cover entire maps.
Cracked Turtle Egg
A valuable chase add-on, the Cracked Turtle Egg increases the duration of Phantasm Traps by30%, giving you more time to teleport to them. This is useful for zoning Survivors in chase and reaching distant traps while you’re occupied with other Survivors.
Rusty Shackles
Perhaps The Hag’s very best add-on, the Rusty Shackles makePhantasm Traps completely silent, granting her power an incredible stealth dimensionality. With these, The Hag can easilysneak up on Survivorscompletely unaware they have triggered a trap.
Mint Rag
For Hags who wish to play for chases, spreading their pressure across a map instead of playing for certain generators, the Mint Rag is the way to go. This add-on allows The Hag toteleport to any trapon the map at the cost of an increased cooldown.
