Dead By Daylight is a game that is based on asymmetry, which means that there are two distinct sides present in the game, known as the survivors and the killers. In any given match, there can only be four survivors and one killer. This means that survivors have the numbers advantage and need to work together to survive and escape while the killer is a lone player.
The game features gruesome combat, exhilarating gameplay with an emphasis on hiding and running. The game is marginally skill-based but is also fun to play with friends in most circumstances. It is a unique concept and is one of the few mobile games that have dared to enter this genre.
As the name might imply, there are relatively substantial differences between the killer and the survivors. The first difference is that survivors have a third-person camera while the killer has a first-person camera. The survivors are not able to fight back and can only run and hide.
The killer can, however, injure and kill the survivors. It is your choice to decide which side you feel is more interesting, although you are not bound to play that particular side by any means. We recommend that you play both sides so that you completely understand the other side as well.
We recommend that you always complete the tutorials. They will explain the basics of the game and get you some easy blood points for achieving them. Blood points are the primary currency in Dead By Daylight, which you will use to level up your varying characters, obtain items, add-ons, and perks.
The Tutorials will generally go through the basics of mechanics and gameplay and give you an idea of the basic controls. The survivor tutorial will teach you the basics of what survivors will be doing in a match, mainly repairing generators, helping out teammates, and avoiding the killer.
The killer tutorial will teach you the basics of what the killer is supposed to do in a match, mainly attacking the survivors and putting them on hooks to sacrifice them to The Entity.
Once you click on the Play button in the main menu, you will be brought up to the loadout screen, presenting you with a list of characters you can play as survivors or killers. All the survivors have the same basic stats. Their only difference is in their appearance.
The killers have a lot of unique stats that differentiate them from one another. The first is the fact that all of them have different special abilities or powers.
Using your blood points lets you upgrade your perks and skills as the game progresses. You can also buy blood points if you wish to do so. However, it is not a pay to win mechanic per se.
Suppose you are willing to shell out some money and purchase a survivor. We recommend that you go for Feng Minn as she is one of the easiest survivors to play. All three of her perks, Technician, Live and Alert our solid choices for a new player. Technical will make it so the noise you make when repairing a generator will be reduced, and making it so that if you fail a task, the chance of explosion will be much lower.
This is great when you start the game and do not want to make a lot of noise when working on the generator. Her Lithed Break is an exhaustion perk that lets her run away at an enhanced speed for 150% for three seconds, turning her into an excellent survivor for no players who might find themselves in places they do not want to be.
For Killers, it is a lot harder to recommend precisely what you should be going for as they all have different powers. So, we are going to be talking about what the best perks for killers are.
Probably the most important perks for Killers are the BBQ and Chili perk. The perk is quite beneficial. It gives you 25% extra blood points whenever you hook a survivor with a maximum of four stacks.
The Extra Blood Points are probably the best part of the perk because it lets you level up other characters and get more perks. In-game, however, it creates an AoE effect around the hooks, which is extremely useful. Another quite useful perk is the Hill Billy perk. This perk lets you reduce the stun that you get from being hit by a pellet by up to 50%.
This perk can be quite invaluable in making pellet stuns not as punishing as they usually are. Pellet stuns the only way survivors can move away from you, so reducing the stun duration helps you become a much better killer overall. You can also go for the Hex Totem perk if you are worried the survivors might have a chance at repairing generators.
However, do note that the perk is a high-risk, high reward kind of perk as if the survivors find your totem, they can break it down and significantly boost their Generator repair speed by a substantial amount. However, you can hide your hex totems or camp it in unorthodox locations to ensure that it does not go anywhere.
Dead By Daylight, perhaps the most mechanically demanding mobile game you can play. Moreover, it features an expansive set of characters and perks that you can unlock or buy throughout the game to enhance your gameplay experience.
The game has a unique set of perks, and each match feels different due to the infinite number of combinations both you as the survivor, or the killer can make. The game has successfully made both teams extremely fun to play and is genuinely a blast to enjoy with your friends.
However, we recommend that you focus on improving your mechanical skills before you move on to the more nuanced parts of Dead By Daylight, such as expert tips.
