The fourth hit in a frenzy is a kill, not a hit.

A Where it sitsStrong, with one thing you have to respect
An amateur killer inspired by the urban legend, clumsy and chaotic but erratic enough to be a threat to groups. His perks punish generators, punish healing and turn stuns into longer lunges.
Thirteen seconds of Frenzy: you can vault pallets and windows, speed rises to 150%, intent radius grows to 120 studs, and you track survivors inside it with Killer Instinct. Every chained hit refills the gauge and pushes speed to 160 / 170%. The fourth chained hit downs regardless of health. You cannot chain the same survivor twice, and a stun or a whiff loses the frenzy and all chains. Afterwards you enter Fatigue for 2.5 seconds at 6.85 studs/s.
Every time survivors finish a generator they suffer Winded for 20 / 30 / 40 seconds.
Basic attacks make a survivor bleed more and slow healing on them by 25 / 30 / 35%.
Being stunned banks a token, spiking a survivor banks two, up to three. Each token adds 30 / 40 / 50% lunge range, spent on a basic attack.
Trigger Frenzy on a group, not a single runner: every chain refills the gauge and makes you faster, so three hits then a healthy target for the fourth is the pattern. Use it to vault a pallet a survivor mistimed. Never swing wildly, a whiff throws the whole frenzy away. Bait the parry dagger by starting an M1 and turning aside at the end, and let pallet campers drop before you vault across and hit.
Split up and never travel as a group. A stun or a parry ends his frenzy entirely, so the parry dagger is worth keeping for that. Remember frenzy hits injure rather than down, unless it is the fourth chain, so do not let him chain four times. He is badly weakened during Fatigue, which is your window to run the generators.
Strong, with one thing you have to respect
Frenzy runs at 150% and climbs to 170% with chains, and the fourth chained hit downs through full health. The catch is all of it: one stun, one parry, one whiff and the whole frenzy is gone with you stuck in Fatigue.
