Beginner value
Why this survivor is useful while learning.
Good for learning when to run, when to leave a tile, and how to value time in chase.
Teachable focus
- Sprint timing
- Chase recovery
- Endgame pressure
Learning stage
- Use this survivor as a learning frame, not as a promise that cosmetics or character choice decide the match.
- Primary lesson: sprint timing.
- First benchmark: finish matches while tracking one teachable focus, one rescue decision, and one generator decision.
How to use this survivor
- 1Use Meg Thomas as a learning pick for chase and escape tools.
- 2Pair the teachable focus with one information perk so you can still read the match.
- 3Do not build around hiding only; stay useful on generators, rescues, and recovery.
- 4After each match, review whether the survivor tools helped you make a better decision.
Common beginner mistakes
- Running from tile to tile without looking ahead at the next safe resource.
- Tunnel-visioning on sprint timing while ignoring rescue timing, generator spread, or chase routing.
- Changing survivor picks before reviewing whether the lost time came from movement, macro, or objective priority.
