13. Stalk survivors with appropriate timing of stalking

Due to the game not being able to properly gain the stalk status at times, it is best to appropriately time the stalking of the survivors. It is a case where when stalking a survivor from far away, the stalking progression will be the same from the original point, even if the survivor is coming closer.

Therefore to avoid this, you would have to stop stalking and start stalking once the survivor is coming closer and closer. However, you can avoid this method of the survivor running away, as the stalking continues from the original point.

8. Create pressure and stalk at appropriate times

With Myers' stalking powers, you should not get carried away, and be able to stalk at suitable timings. As shown in the video, the killer did not stalk after being hit with a pallet as it did not create enough pressure and therefore the survivor can escape easily.

On the other hand, stalking is suitable where the survivor has dropped a pallet, which did not stun the killer, therefore having the opportunity to stalk the survivor for a little bit and gain some of the power.

5. A limit on the stalking ability of survivors, spread out the stalking

When stalking the survivors, you would usually see a red aura that is glowing around the survivor, which basically means the limit on stalking that particular survivor is being reached and once fully red, you are not able to stalk the survivor anymore.

Therefore, one of the best tips is to stalk survivors equallywhich would make it easier to find survivors, especially in critical moments when you want to reach a tier and finish the game.

4. 99% the stalk and use it at its maximum opportunity

One of his most powerful and advanced tactics of Myers is the ability to power up to a max of 99% of hispower that is ready to reach tier 3 and use it till agreat opportunity is revealed.

3. Don't concentrate on a particular survivor, go and find another when needed

When in a chase with the survivor, it is best to not concentrate and chase a particular survivor all the time when for instance in a loop, as it would waste lots of time, and you would eventually hear generators popping.

It is a general rule, especially for other killers that you need to look for another survivor when being in a chase for too long, as it comes out that the survivor is too good, and has found its strength of the looping strategy, which would then save lots of time for the survivors.

2. Use of the perk 'Enduring' allowing for a fast recovery of pallet stuns

With the perk enduring, you are pain resilient to pallet stuns, allowing you to have a reduced pallet stun duration of a maximum of 50%, very useful when catching up on survivors, and avoid being stunned by flashlight.
