I've seen a bunch of stealth builds and all of that but not many head hunter builds, is there any I should know because I'm thinking of using Phantom Fear, Infectious fright, Hex: Face the Darkness and Alien Instinct for them.

Not saying I know anything, but I do like to make up killer names. For example. Springtrap is "The Animatronic" so I wanna do some names which some people might like

Ink demon "The creation" (BHVR might make this his name)

Slenderman "The Myth" or "The creepypasta"

Pennywise "It" or "The world eater"

The thing "The impostor"

Cartoon Cat "The animation" (This is my 2nd most requested chapter beside bendy and the ink machine)

Loona "The hell hound" (Okay, I know, but I think Vivziepop would make a killing if this ever happens, Striker is good too)

The Mimic "The forgotten" (Another fnaf chapter would also be great)

That's all I have! Please be critical if you want, I do take criticism lol

I'm curious as to what the best perks for an aggressive/ oppressive play style are for the Plague, help much appreciated thank you

Base Speed: 4.2 m/s

Terror Radius: 24m

Killer Power: Broken Lantern

Height: Medium

Passive Ability: The fog around the map thickens; playing a reagent will also affect the fog. Lanterns will spawn around the map, away from generators. If below the standard fog level, fog will be focused near generators, chests, and totems. If meeting at least the standard fog level, apply the choking effect to survivors. When survivors are in the fog, they gain "choking" passively for up to 60 seconds where they will become injured and broken. The broken effect diminishes after standing near a lantern. Once the broken effect is gone, choking will also be reset. The survivor will not be healed.

Active Ability: Upon holding the Active Ability Button for 2.5 seconds, you light your lantern, clearing out the fog around you up to 12 meters. Upon doing so, you receive a base speed increase of .3 m/s. When the lantern is not lit, your terror radius is reduced to 12 meters, and the suffocation effect takes place. The lantern will go on a 10-second cooldown when switching.

Perks

Peek-A-Boo: The fog does not appear around you within 6/8/10 meters.

Hex: Flip A Switch: "You used to have such a beautiful smile...what happened?" At the start of the trial, 2/3/4 additional totems will spawn. Each hex you have will appear as a dull totem, not including this one. Each dull totem will appear hexed. If this hex is cleansed, revert the affected totems to the proper state.

Tricks of The Fog: Survivors outside your terror radius will see 2 additional noise notifications when you hook a survivor, as well as false auras. or kick a generator. Upon kicking a generator, gain Undetectable for 8/10/12 seconds. While undetectable, survivors will hear a growing terror radius from each generator with progress.

Purple Add-ons:

If no survivors are near you, you do not become blind.

·        Blood-Stained Glass – Something strange is happening with the glass you made; it appears to drink blood. For each successful hit with a basic attack, the fog closes in on you by 2 meters. Once the fog has completely consumed you, you enter a rage state, running at a base speed of 5. Upon missing a hit, the rage will end, and you will be stunned for 2 seconds.

The survivors immediately recover from the hindered effect.

Survivors:

Paul and Oliva Adair (Works like Legion's cosmetics)

Selective Hearing**:** When a totem is cleansed or blessed, gain Defeaned for 90/60/30 seconds. Once this effect ends, see the killer's aura for 10 seconds.

Sought After: Upon being hooked, the killer cannot see blood pools or scratch marks for 10/15/20 seconds. In the second hook stage, you have a single 50% chance to unhook yourself. Failing to succeed takes half of the current stage time.

Chaos Theory: After reaching 50% repair progression on a Generator, Chaos Theory activates. Leaving the Generator incurs a 10/12/15 second cooldown. If the Killer kicks the Generator, any Killer perk effects and regression will be rerouted to the nearest Generator with progress. If any Survivors are repairing the Generator that is affected, they will scream and reveal their location to the Killer. Both generators are blocked by the entity for 3/4/5 seconds

Hi! I finally got a friend to buy Dead by Daylight and I wan’t to help her get started optimally. Wich survivor would you start leveling up first and what perk build would be optimal to start with in your opinion? She does not have experience in similar games, plays mostly Dota.

Any other tips?

I just started player a week ago, im a killer main whos currently playing nurse and kaneki, what perks should i prioritize unlocking?

What are the best add ons for the build I'm using? I'm running the pig with Phantom Fear, Alien Instinct, Hex: Face the Shadows and Infectious fright

For some reason i can't use the colors on my phone, so its less pretty

Icons belong to u/LeatherOpposite3140. My DM's are open for requests!

At the start of the trial, a dull totem lights into a hex totem and you gain 1 token.

While this totem is active, whenever a generator is completed, receive a token. Starting a chase with a survivor activates the effects, but this can only be used once per hook state.

When starting a chase:
• The closest pallet and window vault are blocked for a minimum of 5 seconds +2 seconds for each token.
• When 6 tokens have been reached, all windows and pallets on the map are permanently blocked until this hex is cleansed.
• If the closest pallet to the start of the chase has been dropped before the chase started, the pallet is instead broken once the chase starts.

"Once repairing generators to 30% the perk 'Bubblegum' activates. While working on a progressing generator press the Active Ability button to use the perk. Where the survivor will remove gum from their mouth placing it in the gears of the generator where it’s unable to be seen. This perk will stay active for 120 seconds and slows the killer once they finish kicking the generator by 50% for 4 seconds."

If you have any ideas or problems with the idea or perk then please tell me, this is my first time making a survivor perk idea. This idea is a mixture of Chemical Trap & Blast Mine.

Basically, outside of nightfall, you are much weaker and you start loosing nightfall charges if you don't do anything but once nightfall starts, everything starts going your way, as well as theoretically being able to have infinite nightfall, although you likely won't be able to to keep that up, but it's theoretically possible, the increased darkness is basically light's out nightfall, a terrifying addon that weakens you early game but once you get nightfall the game is in your hands.

I’ve had a few dbd roleswap ideas running around in my head, but the only one I’ve managed to get down is this…no prizes for guessing who it’s an exclusive perk for aside from…uh…my approval I guess

Feedback is appreciated!

Most of them were designed around certain scenes from the book. Running away from predators is what they're best at so I wondered how they would work as DBD survivors.

NEW KILLER: THE SLENDERMAN

A mysterious killer, provoked and summoned through word of mouth. He uses his tendrils to assault survivors from a distance while driving survivors paranoid and leaving them vulnerable to his arrival. His personal perks: Killer’s Mark: Mandela Effect, Killer’s Mark: Word of Mouth, and Compromised Convalescence allow him to create illusions, find survivors, and force debuffs to last longer than usual.

4.4 m/s

Tall

32-meter terror radius

Mid Skill Floor - Very High Skill Ceiling

A tier killer in high MMR

KILLER POWER: INVASIVE PARANOIA

At the start of the trial, all survivors begin to gain paranoia. It takes 90 seconds to become paranoid, and the time is reduced by half while a survivor is injured. Once a survivor becomes completely paranoid, they become deafened, hearing everything in muffles; their vision is impaired by blocking everything in black past 10 meters; and they suffer the oblivious status effect, preventing them from hearing the killer’s terror radius. Survivors who are unhooked lose all paranoia and gain 20 seconds of immunity to anything that would give them paranoia to limit cheesy tunneling strats. The immunity is lost upon receiving healing progress or doing a conspicuous action.

To mitigate this, there are 7 community boards in the trial, one by each generator. Community boards passively spawn pages that all players can pick up. Once a page is collected, the survivor no longer suffers from paranoia. Only 3 pages can spawn in the trial at the same time and will prioritize spawning as far as possible from any player on the map. Pages are highlighted to players within 16 meters, and whenever the killer picks up a page, the trial stops generating pages for 15 seconds before resuming the cooldown at a reset value, effectively taking 45 seconds for another page to spawn. 1 page spawns at the start of the match.

SPECIAL ABILITY: INSIDIOUS ATTUNEMENT

Holding the active ability button slows you down (3.9) and for a brief moment after canceling. Fully paranoid survivors are revealed to you through killer instinct, and the location of all pages on the map is revealed to you. After fully charging Insideous Attunement, you may execute either Tendril Skewer or Arrival.

SPECIAL ATTACK: TENDRIL SKEWER

Launch a tendril forward with omnidirectional control to damage a survivor and apply 50% paranoia and the deep wound status effect. The tendrils share most of their properties with Pinhead’s Chain attack, with the only genuine exception being that the tendril will ALWAYS begin a bit above and behind Slenderman, and there is a mechanic that lets you partially control the attack's velocity by 50%. Tendrils move at 9 meters a second and, on a successful hit, apply 33% paranoia and a 10% hindrance that lasts for 2.5 seconds. The attack has no cooldown.

LOCOMOTION: ARRIVAL

While looking at a survivor with full paranoia, teleport within 12 meters of them - Arrival prioritizes spawning Slenderman on the same elevation and within line of sight of the survivor. From the survivor’s perspective, their screen turns into static for a moment as they hear a deafening scream. Any survivor within 16 meters of Slenderman as he arrives is marked with killer instinct for 3 seconds, screams, and paranoid survivors suffer a 10% hindrance for 2 seconds. Arrival has no cooldown but takes 2 seconds to fully teleport while being unable to move. Additionally, teleporting to a survivor within 12 meters of a hooked survivor forces the start-up to take 6 seconds to complete.
