Dead by Daylight

I thought it might be fun to drop our favorite killers and at least one tip for going against them.

For me my favorite is Huntress, and my tip is simply never wait for Huntress directly at a pallet. Its very easy for her to get hits if you drop the pallet or run off of it, so its never safe to wait directly in front of it. Thats where most of my 'free' hits happen.

I'll also add a second one for hag, against hag its vital to leave loops she traps, but also if you have teammates in comms you can have them wipe away that trap while you're in chase. This will result in the hag having a long chase, and not building up traps for later in the game either

Dramaturgy

Activates while you are healthy. While running, press the Active Ability Button 2 to run with knees high for 0.5 seconds and then gain 25% Haste for 2 seconds, followed by an unknown effect (one of the following).

• Exposed for 12 seconds;
• Gain 25% Haste for 2 seconds;
• Scream, but nothing happens;
• Gain a random rare item in hand with random add-ons and drop any held item.

The same effect cannot happen twice in a row. Causes exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds. Can't be used while exhausted.

Scene Partner

Activates when you are in the Killer's Terror Radius. Whenever you look at the Killer, scream, then see the Killer's aura for 3/4/5 seconds. There is a chance you will scream again, if you do, you will see the Killer's aura for an additional 2 seconds. Scene Partner then goes on cool-down for 60 seconds.

Plot Twist

Activates when you are injured. Press the Active Ability Button 2 while crouched and motionless to silently enter the dying state. When using Plot Twist to enter the dying state, you leave no blood pools, make no noise, and you can fully recover from the dying state. When you recover by yourself using Plot Twist, you are fully healed instantly and you gain 50% Haste for 2/3/4 seconds. This perk deactivates if you recover by yourself by any means. The perk re-activates when the exit gates are powered.

Figure this could be a fun topic! Who's your favorite Killer, either to play as or play against? Bonus points, share your build!

For me, my favorite still has to be Singularity to play as, its ability is super flexible, with applications in cross-map info and chases. Plus its voice lines do a great job of showcasing both cold calculation and absolute disdain. I run a pretty basic build, Nowhere to Hide, No One Escapes Death, Fearmonger and either Thrilling Tremors or BBQ and Chili, haven't settled on which I like better. My favorite add-ons are the blindness within biopod one, and the one that makes survivors scream when they cleanse slipstream. (Funniest perk combo: the purple that makes the first EMPs take longer and everyone starts streamed, + the one that streamed survivors hear the terror radius constantly. Psychological warfare from the jump!).

To play against... I think I have to say Ghostface. He turns the game on its head by never having a terror radius, so you really gotta look around all the time to keep an eye out, and the paranoia that brings is very thrilling.

I've never fought for anything in my entire life, I'm fighting for this hat.

I'm getting hit from some outrageous distances. Much more than usual. I have 2k hours with over 1500 of that on survivor. I know what distances killers should be able to hit from. But man has that not been the case the last few days. Anyone else or is this a skill issue.

I don't expect killers to let all survivors go, or meme around, or farm, but can we all at least just play the goddamn game?

There is no reason at all to camp and tunnel out two survivors at 4 gens then slug the last two in general, but when there's five tiramisus? You're not even getting many points for brutality or chasing if you have no gens to kick and players are just bleeding out on the ground ffs. If you just played competitively but normally you could likely still get a 4K, and/or get more points than playing the asshole way.

It is a game, yes, and that means you don't owe the other side anything. Play the game, play to win.

But at the same time, it is a game. It doesn't have to be THAT serious that it warrants you sweating so much so early.

And the people who do it because the fun of the game for them comes not from the challenge or objectives of the game but instead comes from doing whatever you can to be a dick to other people? I say this sincerely, that is really sad. You know most people don't derive their main source of pleasure from hurting/harassing/annoying other people, right? Like, you know that is not a thing that people who are okay do?

And survivors also don't need to go out of their way to be as rude as fucking possible, in and outside of events. Like, chill out for a second. Lots of killers are choosing to be casual in the early days of the event, you're not necessarily actually outplaying them, and even if you were, your "achievement" doesn't warrant endless teabagging, literally hundreds/thousands of other people are escaping this game every single day lmao, you're not a superstar.

Just play the game. If you want to be chill about it and have fun celebrating the event then you do you, but it's obviously okay not to. But can we at least just all just play the game we're celebrating the anniversary of as it was intended to be played?

Hey fellow DBD players. Was wondering what build or builds you're currently favoring?

For survivor, I've been running what I call the second chance build. It's Adrenaline, Unbreakable, Decisive Strike, and Off the Record. DS and Off the Record are kind of redundant, with Off the Record being much more useful, but it can make for some funny locker stuns. Pair it with Dead Hard for even more laughs ( I suck with DH though).

I don't play much killer since switching to a controller (extended mouse use hurts my hand and wrist) but I'll still occasionally play Scratched Mirror Myers. I typically run PWYF, Sloppy Butcher, NOED, and either Deadlock or Nemesis. Of course I'll need to run an indoor map offering but if my map gets nuked by another offering, I still have NOED for some endgame fun.

As a killer the #1 thing to make me regret letting a survivor go is when they're mean to their own team :(

Title. I'm relatively new to the game, only a few weeks in. I can see the power of Iridescent add-ons (silent bell as Wraith?? Woof!), but they are so expensive and rare I have no idea when to actually use them. I'd "save" them for an important game, but... it's always just random opponents, so I have no idea if the Iri would be good or if I would stomp/get stomped either way and it's a waste. Curious to hear from people who do use them, when do you decide to do it?
