Dead By Daylight is a challenging game to learn, so here are some of the best survivors to start with. They are ranked in order of their strength and usability in the game.
In Dead by Daylight, survivors are less unique than killers, as they all have the same basic mechanics. Their perks, on the other hand, are what set them apart. Choosing the appropriate perks while first picking up a toolbox and entering into the Entity’s realm might make or break the match. There are certain apparent frontrunners in the game to give you the best chance of surviving the night, with an ever-expanding list of Survivors and Killers to pick from in Dead By Daylight.
As you manage to turn on generators, escape your terrible attacker, and assist your comrades to escape via the Exit Gates while working with your teammates to avoid an early death from a Killer, you’ll need to use various skills. Each survivor has three distinct perks, which are unlocked at levels 30, 35, and 40 for all survivors the user has. There are a lot of wonderful perks to use, and as players progress through the game, more and more become available. Here are the Best Survivors in Dead by Daylight ranked.
Leon from Resident Evil 2 is a powerful character. All noise made when healing is suppressed with the perk “Bite the Bullet.” When hiding inside a locker, “Flashbang” lets the player make a flash grenade, which can create a noisy diversion for the Killer. “Rookie Spirit,” his final trait, is likely the most useful. For the rest of the game, it allows the player to see the auras of regressing generators.
In the face of the Killer, Élodie proves to be an extraordinarily effective character. “Deception” can be employed to guide the Killer in the direction of the player while leaving no scratch marks. Élodie can drop a nearby pallet to stun the Killer and escape while being carried by the Killer.
David is an especially important character for players who want to keep others safe during the game. He has the ability to heal other Survivors more quickly, take a Protection Hit for other Survivors, and temporarily stun the Killer in order to save a Survivor. David can also utilise “Dead Hard” to dash and dodge damage, as well as “No Mither” to reduce blood pools and painful groans.
Laurie from the Halloween franchise can use “Sole Survivor” to prevent the Killer from reading her aura within a specified radius. Decisive Strike is a terrific get-out-of-jail-free card that triggers after being unhooked, allowing you to automatically escape the Killer’s hands after performing a skill check, stuns them for 5 seconds, and then releases you.
While all of Meg’s perks are fantastic, Adrenaline is a must-have. It heals you one Heal State when the Exit Gates open and allows you to sprint at 150% for 5 seconds. Stealth and speed are essential in Dead By Daylight.
Dwight has a set of abilities that are both simple and effective. He can view the auras of other players up to a set distance using “Bond.” “Prove Thyself” can speed up generator repairs by up to 45%. His most useful perk, though, is “Leader,” which enhances the speed with which other players may heal, unhook, unlock gates, and so on.
Within a 32-meter radius, the Visionary perk allows the user to view the Auras of generators. This is especially important if you’re a new player on a new map or just want to gain your bearings. “Built to Last” can also be used by Felix to replenish a depleted item by up to 50%.
This Survivor is perfect for newcomers to Dead By Daylight, and her Technician perk will assist you to reduce the continual gut-wrenching horror you’ll be experiencing. The Generator will not explode if you fail a skill check and have this equipped
The focus of Claudette’s gameplay is on support and healing, which can be crucial in this game. Self-Care is a fantastic perk to employ because it allows you to heal without using a Med-Kit, albeit at half the normal speed. If you run out of Med-Kits, this is a must-have in an emergency.
Bill from Left 4 Dead is also a fantastic character to play as in Dead by Daylight. When you unhook your ally, Borrowed Time bestows the Endurance status effect on them, allowing them to survive damage that would put them in the Dying State and instead activate Deep Wound. They have 20 seconds to heal themselves after becoming active.
Dead by Daylight is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC. Currently Steam is offering a 50% discount on the main game Stranger Things version, Silent Hill edition and the Ultimate Edition.
