Even if you’ve played just a few matches of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you’ve likely come across a Sissy that’s either been the bane of your existence or the best teammate you’ve ever had. Sissy is an incredible killer, with her ability to poison Victims and swiftly navigate the map. This guide covers the best build for Sissy, including her Skill Tree, Attributes, and Perks.

This build focuses heavily on improving Sissy’s ridiculously powerful ‘Bane’ ability, also known as the poison cloud. Whether it’s weakening Victims to get an easy kill, blocking escape points, or generally ruining their day — Sissy’s poison is seriously toxic. The good kind. At least for the Family, anyway.
Thanks to the Toxic Cloud upgrade, this build will both disorientate and damage your foes — and for far longer than average. You’ll also be able to zip around each map, collecting tasty Blood for Grandpa to highlight your Victims much faster. Don’t blame us for the angry messages at the end of the match.
Best attribute allocation for Sissy in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

- +11 Savagery
- +14 Endurance
There’s nothing worse than losing stamina during intense chases, so I found it was best to improve Sissy’s Endurance by 14~ points. This also lets you collect blood for Grandpa a little quicker.
Due to her low rating, I poured the rest of my points into improving Sissy’s Savagery. If running around is your preferred playstyle, feel free to invest all Attribute points into Endurance. You can’t really go wrong here, given that her poison cloud isn’t particularly affected by Attributes.
Best Perks for Sissy in TCSM

- Spore Loser — Losing a close encounter automatically drops an emergency poison cloud, even if you’re out of powder. Cooldown is 30 seconds.
- Rubber Legs — Your toxic (poison) cloud and poisoned items also slow victims down by 20%
- Special Blend — Walking through Sissy’s poison clouds boosts your stamina regeneration by 50% for 30 seconds, and gives your next attack a poison effect.
Spore Loser is one of my favorite Family Perks in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and one of the most satisfying to pull off. A free poison cloud on top of the damage from close encounters and even more damage from the Toxic Cloud upgrade? Yes, please.
The slower the Victim, the better. Rubber Legs‘ ability helps to slow down Victims so that you or another Family member can quickly fly in for the kill.
Finally, Special Blend can make the difference between an execution and a Victim escaping. Down on stamina during a chase? Pop a poison cloud on the Victim and get straight back into slashing and sprinting in no time. If that wasn’t enough, Sissy’s next attack inflicts a poison effect on whoever finds herself at the end of her blade.
Best Maim Ability Tree Upgrades for Sissy
- Increase Poison Duration — Increases the amount of time a Victim is affected by poison to 12 seconds.
- Increase Cloud Duration — Increases poison cloud duration to 55 seconds.
- Toxic Cloud — The poison seeps into the Victim’s wounds, causing them to lose health for a short period of time.
Increase Cloud Duration makes our clouds last longer, increasing the chance a Victim will be hit by it. Increase Poison Duration means Victims are affected for longer, which is ideal for us.
Toxic Cloud is your build’s crème de la crème, causing damage with any of your poison abilities. This synergizes incredibly well with the Perks used in this guide, allowing you to deal far more damage with minimal effort.
