Dead By Daylight: 5 Reasons The Legion Is The Best Killer (& 5 Reasons They’re Not)

These are among the most common outcomes to a match in these kinds of games, and one would be hard-pressed to find two matches that ever play out in the same way. With such distinct possible outcomes, how exactly does one measure succ

There are currently 19 Killers in Dead by Daylight , the four-year-old asymmetrical horror game developed by Behaviour Interactive. A number are based on genre tropes popularized by media in the 70s and 80s; evil clowns, crazed doctors, plague-bringing ancient zealots, etc. The rest are “visitors,” licensed representatives from those movies that influenced Dead by Daylight , for instance Michael Myers from Halloween . Modern-day horrors have also been included, from Saw ‘s Amanda Young to the Demogorgon from Netflix’s Stranger Thin

Once the Oni’s blood meter is filled fully he gains access to two new special moves. The first move he gains access to is the powerful Demon Strike attack. The Oni will gain access to powerful club melee weapons which increases his damage potential. If allowed to charge up fully, this attack will knock down a survivor in one hit. Even if not fully charged the club will unleash a massive amount of damage to whatever unsuspecting survivor is nearby. This makes the Oni a truly devastating offensive force and makes his aggressive playstyle one not to be taken ligh

The Oni is one of the more hyper-aggressive characters within Dead by Daylight . His powerful blood oriented mechanic revolves around an in-your-face style of play. So to truly optimize the potential of the Oni it is important that players get used to this hyper-aggressive playstyle. Otherwise, the Oni is a rather underwhelming character to cho

Silent Hill 2 follows James Sunderland as he searches the town of Silent Hill to find his wife Mary, who despite dying prior to the events of the game has sent him a letter asking to meet. The player comes to understand that James’ guilt over smothering Mary after growing frustrated with her deteriorating mental state due to a terminal illness has influenced the hellish Otherworld he explores. Pyramid Head becomes the judge and executioner for James in this world, a monster that is “a sadistic and merciless killer fixated on dispensing punishment through pain” according to Behaviour’s press rele

Given his offensive playstyle, survivors will most likely be healing quite often when facing a well versed Oni player. This allows Oni to mesh well with the powerful “nurse’s calling” perk which can be taught to the Killer. This allows Oni to see when survivors are healing nearby. Given Oni’s desire to constantly be doing damage to survivors this will be a common occurrence during the course of matches. Utilizing this perk can truly build on his strengths as a kil

These two abilities cement the Demogorgon as one of the best killers for dominating map space. This makes facing the Demogorgon a guessing game of whether or not you are in range of the cruel monster’s powerful attacks or

The Demogorgon adds an additional “trapping” style character to the killer roster of Dead by Daylight . With a vast mobility range and capability, the Demogorgon is meant for players who enjoy a style of play which features setting up portals and traps to traverse the arena and catch players off guard. However, the Demogorgon is one of the more difficult characters to use in Dead by Daylight and may require some getting used to. This guide will provide players new to the Demogorgon’s playstyle some essential tips to optimize the hideous creature’s arsenal and opti

Cote said the team still has a lot of original stories to tell so that Dead by Daylight Michael Myers by Daylight is “first and foremost” its own lore that can invite visitors like Pyramid Head without “diluting” it. Any medium which could fit well within their world would be open to discussion in the future, he said, and there are still some properties that are “big enough” to make it into Dead by Daylight . However being recognized by “legends of our own industry” is humbling to the team, and Cote said they hope to do Pyramid Head just

Cote said the inclusion of licensed characters starting with Michael Myers and Laurie Strode made a statement that “real horror lives in Dead by Daylight ,” but it also opened up unique and interesting narrative opportunit

To celebrate its fourth anniversary, Dead by Daylight is adding Pyramid Head from Konami’s Silent Hill franchise to this esteemed pantheon. While the developers have previously incorporated content from Valve’s Left 4 Dead in the form of a new Survivor and alternate costumes, this will be the first time an entire Chapter complete with a Killer, Survivor, and map is based on a video game. Before Behaviour’s official reveal today, Game Rant sat down with Game Director Mathieu Cote, Creative Director Dave Richard, and Head of Public Relations Marie Claude Bernard to talk about what Pyramid Head will offer in service of the Ent
