[desert solar]

anyone have a looping build?

[unkempt smelt]

You can use a lot of passive/automatic slowdown like surge or weeping wounds

[wooden geyser]

u dont rlly worry about gens other than getting eruption in, also idk what u mean by fun, play spirit fury, enduring, hubris, brutal, not so good on ghoul but its fun

[alpine garnet]

Fun for Wraith especially

[wooden geyser]

i use resi, decisive, dead hard, finesse/unb but its just me tho

[wooden geyser]

i run it a lot on oni ngl, free m1 and free down

[wooden geyser]

both kinda meh imo, corrupt/pain res/grim/dms are way better

[alpine garnet]

What's probably the strongest full hex build? Devour Hope, Undying, Thrill? Retribution?

[wooden geyser]

ik people used to run ruin, pentimento, undying and crowd control on oni if it helps with anything

[alpine garnet]

Pentimento seems a lil useless to me now though

[wooden geyser]

its okay imo, what killer are u playing?

[alpine garnet]

Just on Cenobite

[frail dawn]

Has anyone here tried the comp dbd server and if so what are your thoughts

[alpine garnet]

Retribution is a recent addition, originally played Cenobite for the cube so I could see where people are on the map without an aura perk

[alpine drum]

this games kinda hard when ur js starting out lowk so many killers cannot learn them - i js keep getting kileld not knowing what they do

[unkempt smelt]

it's better with a friend, alternatively there r a lot of very good guides on what every killer does and basic counterplay (theres a lot to learn tho)

[frosty spade]

You will learn eventually. Plus you get tips on loading screen

[alpine drum]

yeahh i js played against unknown and it was very weird kept seeing clones so i dispelled them was js lost and then he started throwing pink balls at me </3

[upper patio]

Why the hell am I getting hit by pallets when I'm like, not even touching them at all?!

[rose knot]

can someone explain why some cosmetics have diff colors then supposed to? Lowlight on taurie is pink instead of blonde... and dark side is black with pink then black with teal and junji ito skin on yun jin has red hair instead of ginger??????? cannot send the pics as proof but if anyone wanst to see can send them

[upper patio]

I literally know they're going to pallet, so I respect the pallet and move back and I still get stunned?!

[frail pumice]

Pallet hitboxes have been fucked for a while

[frosty spade]

What are the uses of ellens perks?

[frail pumice]

you can usually move a step and a half forward after a pallet stun to then make contact with it

[upper patio]

Always something with this game huh. This really sucks lol.

[frail pumice]

its just hitbox visualization things. this game is notorious for lying to you visually vs. what the hitboxes actually are

[peak token]

do false bans happen often in dbd?

[midnight grotto]

The Unknown is a killer that can place his clones to teleport to it(the clone placement cooldown is decreased by each survivor is weakened) any survivor can go up to one to dispel it. Also the pink ball is his projectile(think of it like a grenade launcher) that infects you with weakened

[wanton heart]

Can you send me the pics?

[alpine drum]

yeah i hate him and albert

Does scene partner work with harden?

[frail pumice]

yes

[tepid sequoia]

how can one hate unknown? unheard of

[naive flume]

Can I get advice for pyramid head cause I feel like his range attack is super hard to land

[primal folio]

No, it cancels Scene Partner entirely

[frail pumice]

but if you go sidequesting to force perk value your team is going to hate you

[primal folio]

See above

[tepid sequoia]

it will work on the harden's end, but scene partner needs the scream to reveal the aura

[primal folio]

Hardened flat out stops scene partner entirely. You're giving yourself a dead perk slot

[reef jacinth]

Okay thank yall

[tepid sequoia]

so looking at the killer doesn't even proc hardened aura read?

[ruby sparrow]

Guys when is krasue and the new survivor(s) releasing?

[primal folio]

Correct

[primal folio]

23rd

[tepid sequoia]

oh, didn't know that, weird interaction

[ruby sparrow]

Do you think they are worth buying? I have some auric cells

[primal folio]

We should wait to see what changes they get when they go live first

[alpine drum]

cause im new

[tepid sequoia]

rule of thumb is buy only licenced characters with aurics

[final jungle]

yeah

[winter plaza]

spirit or doctor worth unlocking for perks or should i just do my 4.5k chars i have left ?

[ruby sparrow]

Yeah of course

[tepid sequoia]

krasue is original tho

[final jungle]

i say get spirit and doc

[reef jacinth]

Suggestions on my build
Resilience, finesse, harden, dramaturgy

[ruby sparrow]

spirit is pretty good doctor is mid

[tepid sequoia]

wait for the halloween sale in a month

[midnight grotto]

Doctor for the perks

[reef jacinth]

Not really for perks but they are very fun, artist would be the best bet for purly perks

[winter plaza]

haloween sale ? damn and here i just spent 15 euros on the game T.T

[final jungle]

good thing i heard abt the sale, i was abt to dump money on the game too

[winter plaza]

i checked em out how their gameplay looks and i dont rly vibe . Already have artist too (like her style too)

[stoic delta]

I remember a bug with blastmine when active on a generator, it would not proc when the killer kicked the gen, has it been fixed?

[tepid sequoia]

@winter plaza@winter plaza the halloween sale is purely an ingame sale on stuff on iri shards and aurics. Game and dlc sales are seperate (and a lot more frequent)

[winter plaza]

tbf i only spent on auric cells and bought the BP + Rize skin for Kaneki cuz ive decided im ghoul main now .

[opaque knot]

Anyone has clue of when 2v8 will be back? will it be something added rarely?

[fickle grove]

Sometime in November

[peak token]

nemesis with lvl 1 perks:
lethal persuer, noed, eruption, dead mans switch
decent?

[plush harbor]

what happens to those that get slugged i seen how the change is for tunneling but not slugging?

[midnight grotto]

Switch noed with a perk that can pair well with lethal persuer like a aura reading perk or a perk that works well with eruption

[final jungle]

they can js pick themselves back up after a bit

[shut marsh]

novemberrr 🤑

oh nice

[gray wind]

Why no masterless victory after killing all 4 survivors????? 🥀

[hoary onyx]

that wouldn't be such a bad perk tbh

[plush harbor]

i play killer main so its nice to see no more slugging

[potent dome]

November is postponed to January

[flint kindle]

Slugging actively benefits killers
and also none of the slugging changes are happening yet

[potent dome]

The chapter*

[final jungle]

the slugging change is a good idea

[potent dome]

Did you slug any to death?

[gray wind]

Um.... unintenionally 😭 Downed both ace and taurie and couldn't find taurie at all 🥀

[potent dome]

Thats why

[frosty spade]

How often do killers/survivors get released?

[primal folio]

Roughly every 3 months or so

[still heath]

what is going on with cosmetics? none of them are loading in the character select but they show that I have them in store

[naive flume]

Is pyramid head a good killer?

[final jungle]

id say meh, hes fun tho

[midnight grotto]

Yes

[naive flume]

Rn I’m not having fun with him his range attack feels super eh to me and slow

[potent dome]

Roughly 3 months between chapters, some come in between them 1.5 months later
Rn we are going into a bit of a hold off on new characters as the game fixes major bugs and issues in the game. New characters will come out in January instead of November
A new killer and survivor will be out Sept 23rd

[final jungle]

same when i picked him up, it gets better tho

[frosty spade]

Thank you

[naive flume]

Do you have any advice for his range attack

[final jungle]

not rly, i only js started using him 😭
all i can say is prediction but you probably figured that alr
tho i only have likw 250hrs in the game so i dont have much room to talkj

[plush moat]

@primal folio is a fellow Pyramidhead enjoyer and might have some tips for you to share

[naive flume]

Yeah it’s hard to predict when the shit is so slow lol and idk if I want to focus on for his add ons tbh I only have 57 hours

[final jungle]

i js use 2 brown add ons, the rings i think

[peak token]

whats the perk where injury haste is extended?

[naive flume]

Ik one increases the length and shrinks the width and the other one does the opposite

[potent dome]

No, it is the same as a regular green Flashlight.

Really. Just has a nice skin, that's all there is to it.

Is there already any information on what that modifier in the second half of September is going to be? Chaos Shuffle again?

[sturdy ember]

all of the killers[licensed and non-licensed]become half price at hallowen right?

[rocky ermine]

Usually, except for Stranger Things and if there are any new ones

(Example: the most recent sale had Orela at only 25% since she was relatively new)

[short condor]

are the dbd stats page very accurate for the global hours?

[lyric bone]

when is the next 2v8?

The next iri discount on character is on halloween right?
Also will krasue be discount tho?

[wild hedge]

on the unknown can survivors tell its you if you use insidious and drop a clone on top of yourself for the aura?

do we alredy know if the new surv/killer can be purchased via iri shards or not ?

[old juniper]

yeah they are original content, so they can be bought with iridescent shards (9000 shards per character)

[placid tree]

ngl i feel like this wesker build could be improved greatly

[raw cove]

What's with the killers tunneling every game today ? It's unusual

[molten needle]

november

[molten needle]

because in high mmr you CANT win without slugging / tunneling its way easier when its 3v1 and not 4v1

[midnight grotto]

Dms and Pain res is a good combo. And brutal is one of the best perks for him. I guess you could replace corrupt with a another since you’re most likely to a down very early in a match

[raw cove]

I'm not high mmr I'm just playing casually

[rustic carbon]

I havent seen anything like that.

[molten needle]

well sometimes in avg mmr aswell

[zinc dragon]

maybe take blood favour

[rustic carbon]

Only times Ive really seen tunneling are when Ive pissed the killer off.

[molten needle]

and tunneling is the best strategy to win

[rustic carbon]

Only really for micro killers, or at least ones that are really effective as downing individual survivors quickly.

[lyric bone]

srry, jsut wanna confrim

[rustic carbon]

Tunneling as Hag for example is unbelievably stupid unless youre running the chase build as a meme I guess.

[molten needle]

i for sure can say if its a Coordinated swf the only way to win is tunneling

[rustic carbon]

If you play macro killer thats not really an option. You usually slug em instead if its really that bad.

[zinc dragon]

what killers do you play

[wild hedge]

on the unknown can survivors tell its you if you use insidious and drop a clone on top of yourself for the aura?

[uncut vigil]

statistical bias

[molten needle]

demo

[uncut vigil]

if a survivor is weakened, they can look at you (your clone) to tell if it's you or a husk

[raw cove]

What statistics 🤦‍♀️

[old juniper]

they thought statistical sounded fancy 😭 🙏

[shut marsh]

Unless they’re weakened, they can’t tell. it’s also hard to tell even if there’s just a clone near you

[midnight grotto]

<@&480465015267262484>

[raw cove]

Fr like what are you even talking about just said I had 4 games in a row with hard tunneling did I give any statistics ? No

[queen inlet]

Thank you!

[placid tree]

actually true, but it still gets them away from gens very early on

[torn narwhal]

They can point a flashlight on you face. Clone cannot be blinded

[midnight grotto]

Agree

[peak token]

was it against a billy

[raw cove]

Nor a nurse a 2 ghouls and a bubba to top it off

[peak token]

ah ok, just asked bc i faced mega salt for it earlier

[daring trout]

Is bamboozle,pop goes, corrupt, pain res good for wraith?

[midnight grotto]

Yes. What add-ons are you using?

[daring trout]

Whatever is available icl any u reccomend?

[flint kindle]

Uncloaking Speed is like just straight up the best add-on for wraith in most situations
you usually pair it with a Movement speed during Cloak add-on or if you really wanna have fast uncloaks, another uncloaking speed one
The silent bell one can also be really good

also seen some unique builds use the uncloak after breaking a pallet one

[torn narwhal]

Yes, good build. You also can use Eruption and Sloppy Butcher, these perks are good for Wraith

[tight radish]

All his addons are good but people usually bring 1 uncloaking speed addon

[midnight grotto]

Any purple or irl is really good for him. But I recommend Shadow Dance, Windstorm, or Swift Hunt

[tribal solstice]

Which survivor is the baldest?

[torn narwhal]

I'm always using shadow dance (60% faster breaking and vaulting while cloaked)

[daring trout]

Alr thx for the info i will keep in mind

[tight radish]

Strong

[torn narwhal]

Dwight has bald skin. I cannot remember any other bald skin

[rustic carbon]

Dweard cosmetic on dwight is clean shave bald

[stoic river]

that looks perfect wdym

[hasty copper]

Since when has DBD had Leon's full middle name in his name?

[daring trout]

I have a question abt perks i have 9 pages of perks in killer but i dont have 3 killers but got every other killer but i see in customs theres 11 pages so i dont understand

[midnight grotto]

Your 9 pages = perks from all the killers you own + general perks. The 11 pages in customs = the full perk roster that exists in the game right now.

[formal tapir]

Is the PTB still available to play until the REAL update is released, or are PTBs temporary things (new player here just so yk).

[plush moat]

They only last for 5-7 days

[formal tapir]

Ohhh i see, that's sad, wouldn't have been able to play it anyways, just asking for my steam friend.

[placid tree]

idk it looked like SOMETHING was wrong, i js dunno what

[radiant echo]

what does swf mean and kyf mean??

[formal tapir]

SWF - Survive w/ Friends
KYF - no idea tbh

[torn narwhal]

KYF — Kill Your Friends. This is original name of Custom game mode

[radiant echo]

ohhhh thankyou!!!

[formal tapir]

Oh

[radiant echo]

so i could go in a empty voice channel for swf if i want someone to join???

[torn narwhal]

Yeah. Or you can join to other survivors

[onyx lantern]

Why can’t I choose my perks for the dredge??

[radiant echo]

thabkuuu

[torn narwhal]

Maybe you activated archive quest for random perks?

[onyx lantern]

Ahh thank you so much, I was like what’s going on????

[midnight grotto]

Kyf = Kill your friends

[solid sundial]

how does 1v1s work

[eternal dirge]

I know im a bit late, but I usually do the common soot one that allows you to uncloak when breaking pallets and stuff, with the purple shadow dance

[frosty spade]

what are the fog item for? it seems bad

[torpid arrow]

im looking for a perk, it has a hand on it holding a knife, and theres vines alongside

[solid sundial]

do you know if its killer or surv

[torpid arrow]

killer

[solid sundial]

gimme 5 secs en

[torpid arrow]

dm

[wanton heart]

Killer stays on one end inside of shack while you stay at the other

When you crouch the 1v1 starts and killer has to swing

[nimble magnet]

Do we know if the map changes and the myers, dracula, clown etc changes are going through from the PTB

[solid sundial]

what about perks and powers can i use them

[jolly sphinx]

Anything that didn't have to do with anti-tunnel/slugging is going through

[wanton heart]

Most popular perks for killer are bamboozle or brutal strength and yes you can use your power

For survivor - Finesse, Resi, Lithe, Dramaturgy,

Killers can have 1 perk, Survivors can use 2

[solid sundial]

ah right ok, is there any banned killers/perks

[dense fjord]

I can buy one new licensed surv & one new licensed killer not sure who I should get does anyone have any suggestions?

[wanton heart]

Both players decide what killer yall are playing

Also blight cant use perks and trapper cant use traps

[solid sundial]

wb nurse and othe strong killers also is there a server for this

[dense reef]

Anyone else on console having trouble getting into games? Been happening to me since yesterday.

[solid sundial]

wait do both play the same killer? and stoping trapper lmao

[wanton heart]

Yes DBDLeague for ranked 1v1s and DBDScrims for casual 1v1s

You can search in youtube " dbd 1v1" and you can see how it is

Yes you both play the same killer until either they or you want to switch if its not dbd ladder

[jovial prairie]

so where can I get the application to get the veteran role in the server

[wanton heart]

#welcome message

You can scroll up to see what you need to do

[rustic carbon]

They used to be useful in old dbd because the gams was visually a lot darker but not anymore.

[solid sundial]

what perks are getting changed on patch or have the delayed all changes

[rustic carbon]

They havent touched them in years even though they really should.

[solid sundial]

were they not talking about the vials since the other one is a offering

[rustic carbon]

They were talking about the offering.

[jovial prairie]

Thank yew

[fiery fractal]

Survivors are expeeensive dude

[wanton heart]

I think they mean the Fog Vials not the offering since they said "item" and not offering

[solid sundial]

killers are the same price

HOW do u play against onryo T^T i dont understand this killer AT ALL

[jolly sphinx]

Everytime she teleports to a TV, all survivors near one (any one, not just the one she TPd to) will get a stack of Condemn. At 7 stacks you can be immediately moried when you go down.
You can retrieve a tape from an active TV and deliver it to the one that will get marked to remove a few stacks of Condemn. Being hooked will make some of your Condemn stacks permanent and unremovable for the rest of the match.

[primal folio]

#game-discussion for non questions please

[lavish cloak]

Sorry i thought i left it on discussion and didn’t think to check

[peak token]

does a high kill rate mean i am good at the killer or do hours matter more

[lavish cloak]

Kill rate is influenced by so many factors it’s not really a good measurement

[primal folio]

Killrate definitely matters more than playtime does

[lavish cloak]

Neither really make a good measurement and based on their questions yesterday they are a new player, a high kill rate on a fresh account is normal due to low mmr favoring killers

[peak token]

i have around 300-500 hours, so not super fresh. i am iridescent on both roles too if it helps

[lavish cloak]

At that point you should be far enough that your kill rate is fairly accurate

[rich temple]

what should i buy with 4.5k iri shards
a) legion
b) oni (for zanshin perk cuz it works well with pyramid head)
c) artist (also perks)

[peak token]

so it is a good measurement or?

[proud mirage]

What’s the dc penalty this week? Assuming it’s turned on will it be 1 free dc or 3 free dc’s?
(Who knows why they disable and enable it)

[lavish cloak]

It’s a decent measurement don’t take it as gospel

[peak token]

legion (biased)

[lavish cloak]

Also keep in mind the statistics on the web site don’t include event modes

[rich temple]

i am also biased cuz i have a skin for them

[pure bridge]

how to counter basement killer

[peak token]

i think legion is a blast, and frenzy is almost never respected imo which works great for the killer

[copper glen]

@stray pollen 🚫➡️ Your message content contains flagged text

[lavish cloak]

Over half my playtime was either before the statistics were counted or during events

[rich temple]

but zanshin would be so nice cuz i play pyramid head a lot 💔
and artist idk i don't like her but she has good slow gen perks

[random rune]

what are fog vials good for if the killer can still pretty much see anyone inside of it?

[lavish cloak]

So it says i only have 179 hours rather than the 400ish

[rich temple]

hide scratch marks and aura reading

but most killers have ears and a brain so most times it ends up doing nothing

[dense reef]

Is there a server issue on console? I’ve been getting disconnected or errors since yesterday.

[paper pond]

what's a meta nurse build

[winged shell]

all slowdown

[primal folio]

All nurse needs is auras. If you know where a survivor is, and they're within blink range, that's damage potential.

Just type "aura" in your perk search bar and pick your 4 favorites, or whatever would trigger most often

[upper patio]

Any killer that really exceeds at this?

[livid falcon]

if i were to buy the rift on switch and transfer over to steam later do my cosmetics (and auric shards) from the rift transfer over to steam?

[wanton heart]

Yes

But anything bought on the switch store wont transfer over as far as im aware

[fervent canyon]

what are your guys' thoughts on legion? ive been using him for a while now and it looks like an easy killer at first thought but it feels kinda hard to master as survivors get better with higher mmr, where you have to learn to bodyblock consistently and stuff. what would you guys rate it

[fervent canyon]

singularity

[upper patio]

Okay, any other killer but that silly goober.

[livid falcon]

so if id buy licensed chars with the rift auric shards it would transfer?

[frosty spade]

how do you use leons perks?

[fervent canyon]

i'd say that it honestly is the same on all the other killers, maybe the pig has a little advantage due to reverse bear traps forcing out people to search the keys even after all gens are done but its pig so idk

[waxen scarab]

Use bite the bullet and a medkit in bushes and killers won't even see you (worked for me alot even during chases)

[frosty spade]

what abt flashbang?

[waxen scarab]

Flashbangs can be alot better than flashlights if you learn how to use them for saves

[void zephyr]

do krasue mushrooms spawn on a timer if there arent any left or only when she changes form?

[frosty spade]

how should you use them?

[fervent canyon]

i'd say its a waste of a perk slot since ive only seen a handful of people use it well but if you really wanna master it then it has potential

[primal folio]

Flashbang is best used to save survivors from being hooked

Drop it in front of the killer as they're picking up to save your friend

[wanton heart]

It should? I dont know

[waxen scarab]

If you drop the flash behind some object it won't make a noise so you can catch killers off guard and blind them, this is mostly used around hooks to get saves

[waxen scarab]

Don't know how to properly explain this hope yk what I mean lol

[frosty spade]

i have leons, felix, ellens, haddies and quick and quiet perks, are there any good combos of these?

[tepid sequoia]

@primal folio what do you think of rancor on phead?

[primal folio]

Eh, pass.

[tepid sequoia]

[primal folio]

Only aura reading on 1 target. Exposed doesn't help much on M2 killers.

rancor shows everyone's auras

[primal folio]

Huh, for some reason I thought it only showed the Obsession. Had the aura reading rules backwards

It's just worse Bitter Murmur for Executioner, imo

[frosty spade]

Lucky Star, Built to Last, Flashbang, Quick and Quiet?

[primal folio]

Seems alright to me. You don't specialize in any 1 specific thing, but have a few generally useful perks

[quartz socket]

What graphic setting do you guys recommend? What runs best but still doesn’t look horrible

[fierce quarry]

Is there something I'm missing about oni or is he just dogshit? It takes forever to get into power and then everyone just hides because of the global cue

[primal folio]

This depends on your hardware, we can't really pick that for you.
Pick your best balance of smoothness/visuals as your PC can support

[mighty parrot]

either all low or all max wouldnt really go inbetween

[frosty spade]

what item do you think?

[quartz socket]

I have an ASUS proart p16 laptop. I don’t really know a lot about PCs since this is like the first one I’ve gotten

[tepid sequoia]

that's just a general killer skill to find survivors, nothing oni specific about that

[primal folio]

The problem sounds more like finding survivors, which applies to all killers. Aura perks will help you here, and Infectious Fright is commonly ran on Oni to help chain downs with his power

[mighty parrot]

open task manager and drop ur specs

[primal folio]

BTL is best used with a commodius toolbox + max charges addons

[fierce quarry]

I'm using lethal, I just keep getting looped or going into distortion

[quartz socket]

Hold on

[fierce quarry]

And then when I do enter power I can't even down anyone because they keep looping and the dash is just useless

[primal folio]

I'm confused, you said you couldn't find anybody, but now you're saying you're being looped?

[quartz socket]

I googled it.
The Asus ProArt P16 H7606 features up to an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, and up to 64GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It has a 16-inch OLED touchscreen with a 4K+ (3840 x 2400) or 3K (2880 x 1800) resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. Storage options include up to 4TB of M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD. Connectivity includes USB 4, USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, HDMI 2.1, SD Express 7.0, and Wi-Fi 7

[wary cave]

so from what i'm seeing i mean this in no like offensive way or disrespectful/rude way but it honestly just sounds like a skill issue. i think you just have to get better at oni to be able to get what you're looking for yk?

[fierce quarry]

When I do find them I get perma looped because I'm used to playing antiloop killers

[plush moat]

Oni’s blood fury is single handedly one of the best anti-loop powers in the game

Had it not been for his weak early game, he would absolutely be among the very best killers

[fierce quarry]

I know I suck but I feel like there's something I'm missing

[mighty parrot]

if your playing in 4k your gonna see a massive decline in performance vs 1080p/1440p, you could probably get away with high to ultra but ur fps may drop a bit below 120 on ultra

[mighty parrot]

play a match with bots and put on an fps counter and experiment with different graphics settings, ideally you wanna have a consistent 120fps

[quartz socket]

Dunno why I played like one game and my laptop got insanely hot and my fps dropped to like 30 and the graphics were on high.

[fringe belfry]

Rancor is very good to confirm an endgame kill

[wary cave]

oni from what i've seen and would say is a difficult killer to play i've never played him but i will 100% say that if i did right now i'd suck at him and that's okay. you just have to learn how to loop with him and use his power against survivors which is the typical situation you should go through with most new killers you play. i think you just gotta get better at him is all and it's okay to not be good, just keep focusing on learning him and getting better and you'll do great

you're new at him so you're fine just keep practicing

[primal folio]

For Executioner, I disagree, the aura reading isn't often enough to be useful, and Exposed isn't useful on M2 killlers.
You'll get more value out of dedicated aura perks like I'm All Ears

[mighty parrot]

are you playing wireless or plugged into power? gaming laptops are notorious for running like shit when not plugged into a powersource regardless of the specs

[fierce quarry]

yk what I'm about to get into a game, I'll record it and post here

[quartz socket]

I genuinely don’t really know much about laptops because I’ve lowkey never really had one😭 I’m playing on wireless I didn’t even know plugging it into something to make it perform better was an option

[wary cave]

unfortunstely i don't believe you can you'd probably have to send it privately since you don't have the prestiged role unless they've chabged that since the last time i was active in here

[mighty parrot]

thats your problem, plug it in your performance will increase atleast 2x

laptops run on eco mode when not plugged in which uses much less resources to conserve battery life

[wary cave]

bro how much did that laptop cost those specs are insane😭

@quartz socket the most i could assume from what he means is just a power sockrt

[quartz socket]

Plug it into what though.. sorry if this is a stupid question lmao

[mighty parrot]

charging/power cable into your wall

[quartz socket]

Oh. I’m stupid

[quartz socket]

It costs like 3.5k euros I believe, it was a birthday present!!

[wary cave]

shi at least it was a birthday present cause god you got the whole package in one small portable device

[mighty parrot]

if a gaming laptop ran at full power it would die within 20 minutes so they just massively decrease their power to save on battery life

[wary cave]

yeah that's the only downside

but his laptop seems like it probably runs better than my whole pc💀

[mighty parrot]

thats why gaming laptops are kinda a gimmick unless ur constantly moving places where you can plug into a wall

[quartz socket]

Though I always thought that plugging it in would make it hotter and perform worse

[mighty parrot]

it may get hotter but thats because its actually using its components to the full extent instead of downvolting to save on battery life which gaming laptops are also notorious for having poor battery life

[quartz socket]

Well I didn’t know this lmao😭 also this laptop wasn’t really marketed as a gaming laptop it was more so for like editing, using premiere pro and stuff like that but yea

[mighty parrot]

if you go into power options on windows, you can actually choose to run at full power while not plugged in but i dont reccomend this as it will die in like 20 mins

[mighty parrot]

yeah thats understandable, but an rtx 5070 even the laptop varient is still more than capable of playing any game at high to max settings

[quartz socket]

I’m not well versed enough to mess with the power options and settings.. took me a minute to at least install dbd lmao

[mighty parrot]

i dont reccomend messing with your power options as long as your happy with the performance your getting for things besides gaming

[quartz socket]

Thank you guys though for being helpful!!

[mighty parrot]

no problem

[frosty spade]

should i be using the key? idk how its useful

[mighty parrot]

not as useful as the map imo really only good with the iri addon that lets you see the killer

[frosty spade]

thanks. should i be sabotaging hooks or is that something not that helpful?

[mighty parrot]

very situational, if you happen to be in a situation where the killer only has one hook to go to and you have a tool box, go for it but it can be very risky/not worth it if theirs multiple hooks next to eachother

[frosty spade]

i see thanks. is bite the bullet good?

[fierce quarry]

I just put it on youtube so I can link it https://youtu.be/1Rk_pjDXEfI

[mighty parrot]

ehh not my favorite, i much prefer perks that grant additional healspeed such as empathic connection, do no harm, or botany knowledge, ideally you should be healing in a safe spot anyway

[fierce quarry]

<@&253635077693505536> I'm really struggling with oni and I just feel like he won't click, this is a fluke good game with him, please can I have pointers on how to improve?

[primal folio]

Giving an extra poke to our Oni mains @covert axle and @jagged blaze

[earnest nymph]

One small tip, I've heard people say not to hold W when using the dash. Something about making it harder to turn or something...

[mighty parrot]

if your on pc, you can try binding turn left/turn right to q and e to make flicks easier

[tepid sequoia]

btw can I play oni by using his dash just for mobility and not going for hillbilly style flicks?

[mighty parrot]

absolutely, you can try using something like trail of torment or tinkerer to get some stealth snipes

[tepid sequoia]

aight, thanks

I like bonking people but I don't like his dash in loops

[frosty spade]

if i have a flashbang, how do i repair a gen with a toolboxz?

[mighty parrot]

drop the flashbang

[tepid sequoia]

press R to drop your current item

[frosty spade]

thanks. i got killed too many times by flashbanging myself

[covert axle]

General tips I would give is, during early game, try not to respect pallets too much as Oni. Most people know to pre-drop against Oni, but the few times you go against people who do not it majorly helps getting his power early. Generally you want to keep people injured for the majority of the game, so things like Sloppy Butcher or Floods of Rage: Gift of Pain (Weeping Wounds) are good on him. Infectious Fright is also really common since you can easily snowball with his power. As other have stated, there is a little gimmick to holding W. If you hold W, it's like having stabilizers. So, holding W will make you turn less, while letting go of W (or your forward key if you are not playing on PC) will make you turn more. Regarding his flicks, it's mostly a thing you get a feel for overtime, just keep playing him and you'll learn how much you have to flick your mouse. Certain Oni players have also had success with binding a button on their mouse to have a higher sensitivity as a toggleable button to help with flicks, however nowadays I would say flicks are very doable even without that, just gotta get a feel for how much you have to turn your mouse.

[fierce quarry]

I was wondering how the flicks work tbh, most of the time when I try it I end up not lunging as far as I expected to

[rancid root]

is a lethal rush on blight able to benefit from stuff like exposed? or does it not count as a basic attack

[peak token]

ive prestieged dwight just to get a perk to level 3 but its still at level one, whats going on?

[tight radish]

It's a special attack so no 😔

[tepid sequoia]

you have to prestige to 3 to get perks to 3. But don't do that, instead level them up in the bloodweb of your mains

[peak token]

yeah thats what ive done, im trying to get fixated lvl 3 but its stuck on 1 even after 53 levels

[flint kindle]

Just bad luck in the bloodweb

[rancid root]

damn i was wondering why my perks didnt seemto be doing anything, i guess it would be too op though

[peak token]

man thats crazy

[dry oracle]

Um guys is there's a way to report hacker his name "傲慢之罪"

[tepid sequoia]

[primal folio]

Click the thumbs down button on the postgame screen to report players

[lament cloud]

Why don't the Devs update the gore in moris? Before no matter how brutal the kill there was little to no deformation on the bodies, even if it's like the Oni beating your face in, but now they gave kills where your face literally gets crushed, blown up or ripped off and they still don't update them for the old moris?

[primal folio]

We can't really explain why the devs haven't done something. DBD is nearly 10 years old now, there is quite a bit of old content.

[lament cloud]

I mean surely it's as simple as just using the exact same effect for some, they'd work just fine

[primal folio]

Gamdev is a tricky beast. Doubly so when you're working with legacy code.

When non devs say "it should be easy", you're missing lots of context.

[lament cloud]

Ig

But still, is swapping the crushed face effect from the houndmaster and sticking it onto the Oni so hard?

[primal folio]

Couldn't tell you, I don't have Unreal dev experience.

so theyll both work at the same time? that is absolutely awesome if so

Yes

You hop of the gen, tap the activate, both count down and are active

You get the aura and the bomb

What two killers should I buy out of the list
Pyramid head
Nemesis
Xenomorph
Myers
Wesker
Chucky

[red yew]

Neme and pyramid head imo
both are fun to play and they both have fun perks

[exotic escarp]

does anyone have a suggestion for a quick gambit build? Ive heard lithe is good for extending chases, but im not sure what would synergize well or actually benefit chase

[tepid sequoia]

wait to see what the myers rework will look like when it releases before deciding

[upper patio]

What the hell are these double pallets in the game lol, 3 bloodlust and I honestly couldn't hit em at all.

[cyan hearth]

Is the myers update coming out on Tuesday

[tepid sequoia]

23rd

@exotic escarp are you learning to loop or are good at looping?

[upper patio]

Insane pallet placement lol

[orchid yoke]

Why did Myers need a rework, I don’t understand

[cyan hearth]

Aw man

[exotic escarp]

actively learning but to a point id say im decent. my average chase has been around 3~ minutes if the killer doesnt leave me

[graceful ore]

anyone got a good wesker guide?

[peak token]

80 lvls later and my perk still hasnt levelled up lmao whats going on

[stone widget]

The larger your perk pool the less likely it is to level a perk you want

[peak token]

every other perk i have is 3 and some 2s, all unlocked

p4 with no new unlocks since mid p2

[primal folio]

do you have ANY perks appearing in your bloodweb?

If so, then it's just bad luck finding the perk you're looking for

[peak token]

no none at all, but i am quick levelling

[primal folio]

if there's no perks in the web, then you're maxed out

You're probably referring to Stranger Things perks aren't you?

[peak token]

yeah? but babysitter and better together are lvl 3 on the same character

[tepid sequoia]

my favorite looping build is quick gambit, object of obsession, any means, flex 4th but usually chem trap. A lot of people will recommend you the generic stuff, but I don't suggest it for active learning

[primal folio]

Gotta prestige ST characters to level the perks further

They were global perks while ST was removed from the shop.

[peak token]

man

anybody else i should buy as im about to hit purchase on the cells

[tepid sequoia]

can you give a tldr of what's happening?

[peak token]

that statement can be taken as completely independent to the rest of the conversation

basically im about to get auric cells so does anyone recommend i get any other licensed unlock apart from nancy

[tepid sequoia]

I recommend waiting for the halloween sale

tho nancy specifically doesn't go on sale so you're free to do that

[peak token]

ah ok so no basically

[exotic escarp]

ima dip after this, but does anyone have a simple chase build? im trying to rack up ideas but do NOT own most of the licensed characters so im having a lot of trouble.

my main go to is finesse, windows, qq, and dwm. I would love to use anything other than these perks as I am interested in trying smth new, or a cheeky chase perk.

[peak token]

do you have any licensed?

can u say which?

[exotic escarp]

yes, I have some, just not all. i can list them if u want

[tepid sequoia]

if you're good at chase, I assume you know maps. Try any means instead of windows

[red yew]

is it just me or is conviction the only good perk from twd chapter?

[exotic escarp]

licensed: Detective Tapp, Laurie Strode, Nancy & Steve, Quentin, Cheryl, Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, Alan Wake, Lara Croft, Ada Wong

[wanton heart]

Dramaturgy/Lithe/Dead hard, Resi, Troubleshooter is actually nice, Deli/DS/Vigil

[tepid sequoia]

inb4 finesse, exhaustion perk, vigil, fixated

[peak token]

you have a lot of options to be fair

[tepid sequoia]

anyway, object of obsession is good for getting the killer's attention

[exotic escarp]

A lot of options! a lot of specific characters: nicolase cage, gabriel soma, riley, etc, I get reccomended and dont have. I am privileged with my selection :d

[tepid sequoia]

since when do people recommend gabriel for chase perks?

[exotic escarp]

you have no idea how often I hear Made For This

[tepid sequoia]

interesting, that's not even a chase perk

[exotic escarp]

Right

[fast pier]

i just got out of a match but i chased a kate, i downed her then when i picked her up and as i was carrying them to a hook, they used some cheat thing to get them to the "Dying" state while i was carrying them // they got stuck in one place and i wasnt able to drop them or use my power at all, getting blinded didnt do anything either

[primal folio]

That's the first I've ever heard of something like that, not sure.

[lament totem]

just finished getting artist to prestige 3, which killer has good perks that i should prestige next?

[tepid sequoia]

Depends who you play and what you have

[wary cave]

depends on your build and the killer you're playing and what your playstyle is

[lament totem]

i havent rlly found my playstyle so im just looking for killers perks that u find in a lot of builds

[wary cave]

yeah but what killer do you play because the perks between most killers vary due to their strength and potential

[tepid sequoia]

Using only generic perks is a sure way to not find out your playstyle lol

[uncut vigil]

Deadmans switch is no brainer

[lament totem]

so im pretty new but if this helps here are some killers i WANT to play: plague, wesker, vecna, dark lord, nemesis

[uncut vigil]

its their only choice if they don't have half of the licensed DLC purchased

[lament totem]

I have the resident evil dlc's and ill get (most of) the rest during halloween sale

and for playstyle i dont really want an all hex build or an endgame build

[uncut vigil]

who are you maining as of now?

[tepid sequoia]

All of these could work with a stealth perk if you want

[lament totem]

i was playing artist but only as like my first killer to get her prestiged. i dont want to keep playing her and i want to play the killers i mentioned

[wary cave]

idk about y'all but i'm having an issue finding a specific killer that he should go for next.

the only ones i can really think of are like clown deathslinger onryo, the universal perks from pinhead like deadlock and plaything (no clue what the new names are) knight chucky and houndmaster but most of these killers only have 1 or 2 good perks for some of these killers and even then some of them you won't use for the other killers

[uncut vigil]

then you could buy clown - for bamboozle, or slinger - for DMS, as they're very generic and almost all killer could use them

[lament totem]

hmm i might get clown then considering that seems to be a common consensus and ill enjoy learning to play him for a bit

[tepid sequoia]

Note that you don't have to play a killer to prestige them

[lament totem]

oh yeah i just like playing new killers i get, it helps me find my playstyle like u guys mentioned

[wary cave]

i'd limit it to between clown deathslinger and houndmaster, look at their perks and see what sounds good for you

imm unsure how well houndmaster's perk synergizes with pain res but i feel like it would be good

[lament totem]

sure, ill look at the others as well

[tepid sequoia]

It's not really much synergy since jagged only triggers on unhook, you'd have to hook someone on the same hook twice

[round breach]

When does Krasue go live

[primal folio]

23rd

[tepid sequoia]

It's good synergy with weeping wounds and floods of rage, those proc on any hook with compass

[round breach]

What about Myers rework same day?

[wary cave]

i thought it was just if you hook them on a hook it converts it into a scourge hook and if the hook is alr a scourge hook it shows you the progress of the gen no?

[primal folio]

Yes, same day

[tepid sequoia]

Jagged triggers on unhook, and it both makes it a scourge hook and shows gen progress at that moment

[faint sage]

Should I play without windows to get better

[tepid sequoia]

It makes it a scourge hook first, so that all scourge unhook effects trigger

[tepid sequoia]

Windows is a training wheel perk. You can use it if you're new, but take it off once you get a general feel of the maps

[wary cave]

from what i'm reading from the dbd wiki that's not the case

based off of this description it synergizes well but i'm unsure if this is incorrect information

[faint sage]

Yeah I got a ton of hours of game knowledge through YouTube vids, 9 days of playtime actually. Feel like I can loop at tiles but I get nervous when I drop the pallet not knowing where to go

[tepid sequoia]

Oh, I could've sworn the aura is on the unhook. My bad then

[primal folio]

You're probably thinking of Floods of rage, which DOES trigger when unhooked

[wary cave]

nah you're good i've been using the same build since onryo came out and haven't updated to memorize any of the new perks since whoever came out after knight😭

[uncut vigil]

eventually you will not use that perk

[tepid sequoia]

Can't help much there besides just saying to use your eyes ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tepid sequoia]

Damn, you're missing out on a lot of stuff lmao

[faint sage]

Yeah I know lol just gotta take off the perk and get gud

[tepid sequoia]

Yep. You will probably lose a lot at first but just keep at it

[uncut vigil]

well if you don't want to run aimlessly to no where, observe and remember the map layout you just run past by moments ago.

where jungle gyms are, where generators are, where totems are if you found them, where are the exit gates so you can prepare for the open before the bubble shows you

[wary cave]

it's cause i quit during knight cause it was so boring to play

i recently got back into it again but i still have all my game sense and knowledge from before hand and the new knowledge of the new killers and counters just not the perks

[tepid sequoia]

Fair

[wary cave]

we could just say i'm a lil behind the meta😅

[finite wagon]

Do any of the survivors matter if the skills can be equipped to any of them?

I like the crouch ability on nea but i could earn that on any of them right?

[uncut vigil]

some survivors and their cosmetics / grunts of pain are better than others

[tepid sequoia]

Besides the perks, survivors are mostly just skins, pick whoever you like

[finite wagon]

What the consensus on best camouflaged then?

[uncut vigil]

to an extent it matters if you're tryhard and want to be competitive, but

[twilit barn]

is there a reason we are forced to slow vault???

[tepid sequoia]

Back in the day it was bloody claudette. Nowadays it barely matters

[wary cave]

yeah for example i'm pretty sure the quietest male survivor is ace and the quietest female is ada but they're working on an adjustment to survivor audio so whenever that comes out then it won't matter what surv you play

@twilit barn depends on if you were going against a killer that forced you to slow vault or you just messed up the vault or somethin else

unless you're mixing up slow vault with medium vault

[uncut vigil]

you are hindered

[twilit barn]

nope i had no status affects on and i was running but it is randomly it makes us slow vault. its really pissing me off.

[finite wagon]

I put an insane amount of blood point in nea playing for my first time today. Should I stick with her then? Also ...I just found out there are codes. Anybody by chance know any active ones🥹

[tepid sequoia]

Are you sure you're not medium vaulting?

[wary cave]

what killer were you going against and what exactly happened? and is this slow vault a medium vault or?

@finite wagon it doesn't really matter unless you really like nea and want to main her. survivor prestiges don't really matter past prestige 3

[twilit barn]

there is more then one vault. wraith and i was running and it made me slow vault when i tried to vault?

[uncut vigil]

slow vault in the middle of nothing land?

[finite wagon]

Ty

[tepid sequoia]

Play whoever you like, the prestiges come over time

[wary cave]

i'd have to see a clip about this because i'm unsure about what went on

[finite wagon]

Any active codes by chance?

[tepid sequoia]

Search nightshift in discord search, a message should come up with a couple codes, with nightshift being one of them

[austere quarry]

hi if i use a syringe and styptic agent will they work together
i have 8 of both

[finite wagon]

[wary cave]

they should unless the syringe activates before the styptic

[forest flint]

anyone know a fun Pyramid Head build?

[tepid sequoia]

@forest flint from the resident phead main

[austere quarry]

how does it work though? like is it for healing others only or can i use both on myself..

[forest flint]

W

[uncut vigil]

syringe will only heal your styptic deep wound, not to healthy

you pop both effects upon consuming the medkit

[finite wagon]

One more question please and thank you all for answers. Does buying the same perk twice do anything?or is it worthless

[tepid sequoia]

As in from the shrine? Or in bloodweb

[finite wagon]

From the bloodweb

[primal folio]

The Shrine of Secrets upgrades the tier of the perk 1 additional level. It's a VERY bad use of iri shards, I strongly suggest against this for any perk

Oh, you mean the web

That levels up the perk and makes it slightly stronger in some way

[finite wagon]

Ohhhhhh ty

[tepid sequoia]

Yea, it levels them up with better numbers

[finite wagon]

So it is a better use to by dupes. Nice ty all

[uncut vigil]

idk what buying dupes mean

[primal folio]

Always buy a perk if you see one on your web. It's a permanent unlock for that character

[primal folio]

They mean tiering up perks on the bloodweb

[dapper yew]

I won like 4 games in a row and now I'm getting people with 1k hours, what do I do?

[tepid sequoia]

Lose 4 in a row

[primal folio]

You should be pleased with yourself for playing well enough to queue into stronger players

Your MMR is rising to reflect your skill level

[dapper yew]

that's too scary

[primal folio]

Although it's worth noting that playtime does not equal skill level

[uncut vigil]

practice your mechanics against experienced opponents

[austere quarry]

i got a question about my perks and if they are good 😭
adrenaline, resilience, technician, and deliverance

[dapper yew]

naked trapper?

[tepid sequoia]

Valid tbh, matchmaking in most games these days is ass

[uncut vigil]

swap adre and technic to sprint burst and alert

[dapper yew]

they will woop my ass, I got someone with 1600 hours that knew how to loop

[tepid sequoia]

Meh, good, useless, situational but fine

[uncut vigil]

exactly, start practicing

[tepid sequoia]

Nah, just play like you always do

[austere quarry]

okay done 😁

[dapper yew]

I don't have many spirit addons to do that, I'm using dry leaf and mother daughter ring, I have 0 of them right now

[austere quarry]

i have a medic with a syringe, white ward offering,
sprint burst, resilience, alert, deliverance

[tepid sequoia]

I don't use addons and I'm having the time of my life

[uncut vigil]

her best addons are flute and cap besides them

[dapper yew]

people don't like the combo I use?

[tepid sequoia]

Besides, you should be getting used to the base power

[exotic escarp]

ive decided on a build, finesse, lithe, windows, blast mine. my only question is whether or not I should swap finesse for Wiretap, since I have a very hard time getting genuine value out of finesse but still benefit from both

if neither perks, Id love to know what else I could swap finesse for.

totally phrased that wrong yikes

[tepid sequoia]

Swap windows for wiretap instead

[uncut vigil]

relying killer instinct from blossom will not help you improve.

[dapper yew]

it's confusing

[tepid sequoia]

If you're good enough at chase to be using chase perks, you shouldn't be needing windows. If you do need it, then you're not good at chase and should take it off to practice without it anyway @exotic escarp

[exotic escarp]

valid i appreciate the input

[violet spire]

windows is addiction. you will never learn where pallets are in a map without taking it off. i miss it, its a key step to get better in the game but id say use it as long as ure comfortable with. i started not having windows when they first introduced chaos shuffle and saw that i can function without it too.

[strong tartan]

Do we know what day the October event will start?

[violet spire]

• personally i wouldnt use wiretap AND blast mine together. one kick and 2 of your perks are gone.

[violet spire]

mid october, not set when.

[uncut vigil]

good

[strong tartan]

Fair enough thank youu

[tepid sequoia]

If blast mine procs, wiretap already did its job by notifying everyone where the killer is and will be for the next couple seconds

Only way to make full value out of wiretap is repressed alliance

[violet spire]

thats getting the least amount of value from wiretap. if others dont have terror radius they already know killer isnt nearby.

[tepid sequoia]

I guess, but still. Other than repressed alliance you gamble with the killer kicking a gen or not, and no way to stop them from kicking it, canceling wiretap

Blast mine is just a punishment for the kick

[trail wyvern]

Does anyone have a good build for pinhead based around the box?

[violet spire]

no not really. you can wiretap a 1% gen and loop around it, especially on indoor maps wiretap could be a golden perk. you dont need a secondary perk to get value from it neccesarily.

[tepid sequoia]

Lethal pursuer, bitter murmur, floods of rage. Aka know all survivors' locations at all times

[tepid sequoia]

That's what I'm saying. Blast mine has nothing to do with wiretap value, so no reason not to run them together if you want to

[uncut vigil]

lethal pursuer so you start finding the box when match starts, BBQ so you know where the box approx. is or catch survivors going for the box after hooking

then just pain res DMS or whatever

[violet spire]

oh, gotchu

[trail wyvern]

Gonna experiment, might try this and weave attunement, just saw someone playing pinhead scary well and realised how wrong I’ve been doing it

Just gotta learn box logic

[opaque turtle]

can anyone throw good builds for
A) a looping survivor
B) a ghostface

[tepid sequoia]

Also bbq, I forgot about that tbh lol. But just know that using lethal and bbq together as a primary build is a huge crutch. If you just use it from time to time, it's fine

[tepid sequoia]

Are you learning to loop or are good at looping?

[opaque turtle]

im p good at looping :3 not the best but

[red yew]

B) lethal pursuer, bbq, pain res, coup de grace

[tepid sequoia]

Usual copy paste looping build is finesse, exhaustion perk, vigil, fixated/resilience. But I personally like quick gambit, object of obsession, any means, chem trap, way more fun

[frosty spade]

Chen trap looks fun but damn I can't get use of it

[opaque turtle]

will i get targeted / tunneled for using scene partner ... it is very silly and funny to me but i have yet to actually use it

[trail wyvern]

Such a shame since it’s such a good info/pressure duo

[tepid sequoia]

Don't get me wrong, it's a very good combo, but you will not improve at the game while you use it

[exotic escarp]

update on earlier discussion- ultimately decided on finesse, quick and quiet, dance with me, and blast mine. i mostly wanted blast mine so I could still benefit from shying to gens, but the main part of the build id usually use windows instead. now, im just going to replace it with blast so I can force myself to learn maps and loops without becoming reliant

[trail wyvern]

As long as ur not an asshole most of the time no, only scene partner survivor I tunnelled was an insufferable altruist

[red yew]

I', trying to get use of COME AND GET ME! Give it a swing instead of scene partner if you have it and lmk

[violet spire]

why dance with me?

[tepid sequoia]

Use it only on safe pallets. On unsafe pallets, killer has no incentive to kick it

[trail wyvern]

Nah yeah I’ve been playing long enough that I don’t usually need it, usually run like 3 gen kick perks and an info perk just for slowdown lol

[exotic escarp]

escape chase quickly. the entire point of that section was to lose killer/be confusing. if i wasnt using blast it would be lithe instead!

[red yew]

I think you should have lithe if you are taking dance with me otherwise you are not going far enough from the killer

[exotic escarp]

i would 10000% be using lithe instead, im just trying to figure out for now how well I can integrate blast mine

[violet spire]

dance with me has very little value unless ure not planning to lose the killer by jumping into lockers. i genuinely never seen anyone use that perk

[tepid sequoia]

Lucky break and/or overcome are among the only perks that allow you to actually escape a chase, everything else just extends it

[exotic escarp]

actually COMPLETELY forgot about lucky breaks existence that genuinely changes everything - will be swapping some things around then

[red yew]

sometimes you can get a sneaky deception or quick and quiet, but depends on your elo

[trail wyvern]

Just btw blast mine isn’t that great it’s a tiny slowdown at most, I literally just sit through the blind and then kick the gen, doesn’t do much

In my experience

[tepid sequoia]

It's fun, that's what's most imprtant. The slowdown is neat

[red yew]

I always tunnel the survivor with blast mine

[exotic escarp]

finesse/luckybreak/lithe/quick and quiet, then? since lucky break surpresses scratch marks, too, like dwm does

[trail wyvern]

This too lol

[trail wyvern]

I will say it’s definitely an annoying stun, especially if the survivor sticks around to also flashlight me, but that just means I have someone to tunnel. You wanna have fun I’ll have fun too

[tepid sequoia]

I feel quick and quiet is useless outside of locker synergy. Most of the time the killer will see you fast vault anyway

[uncut vigil]

but not grunts of pain

[exotic escarp]

• repressed alliance after a blast mine is an absolute favorite of mine.

[tepid sequoia]

Holy shit, I never thought of that, that's hilarious. Maybe with parental guidance on top

[exotic escarp]

i am begging you to try it. if you can pull it off it is the FUNNIEST thing ever- highly reccomend fixated or spriint burst to sneak up

[trail wyvern]

I’m dumb explain this, I don’t play surv and I’m rusty 😭

[exotic escarp]

hit the killer with blast mine, they get stunned&blinded. typically, they will just wait to damage the gen afterwards. hit them with repressed alliance, which blocks the generator so they CANT kick it and regress it

[tepid sequoia]

I'm waiting for repressed in the shrine xd

[tepid sequoia]

Blast mine is an actual stun, they can't do anything during it, they have to wait it out

[trail wyvern]

And by the time chase is over they go to kick then gen and get stunned

[tepid sequoia]

The point is that the killer came with the intent to kick a gen, and you stop it twice

[exotic escarp]

complete time waster, and its so funny. punishes the killer MASSIVELY for trying to kick the gen

[trail wyvern]

Would def piss me off

[forest flint]

what if i run jagged with floods?

[exotic escarp]

any ideas for what to pair repressed alliance+blast mine with?

[trail wyvern]

I run eruption, machine learning and CoB half the time so that’s like a direct counter to me

[tepid sequoia]

Idk, I think it's funny when I get blast mined

[primal folio]

Floods should activate on any unhook

[forest flint]

dont pair those two lol its like a counter to them

[exotic escarp]

i am pairing them. that is why I asked - im being funny not strategic

[tepid sequoia]

Wiretap, parental guidance

[primal folio]

Blast mine wants killers to kick gens
Repressed Alliance prevents gen kicks

Your perks work against eachother

[forest flint]

i thought it says only for scourge hooks?

[primal folio]

Correct, and Jagged makes any hook a Scourge hook

[tepid sequoia]

@forest flint @primal folio the point is to set the blast mine, killer kicks it, you repressed alliance so they can't kick it again, which was their intend in the first place

[trail wyvern]

If you did this and played sable you’d get tunnelled out the game instantly

[exotic escarp]

I dont play sable and I get tunneled anyway. its incredibly worth it

[primal folio]

Ah, sure I suppose, but it isn't exactly an efficient combo

[tepid sequoia]

We know lmao, but it's funny

[exotic escarp]

id define it as a meme build, personally. i have a hard time pulling it off unless the gen is super high progress, though.

[trail wyvern]

I mean it’s definitely punishing to gen kickers

[tepid sequoia]

This is beyond meme build, this is borderline a troll build lol

[exotic escarp]

dont own yoichi 🙁 parental would be my first perk

[exotic escarp]

I have done this build to someone with a full gen pop build (pop goes weasel, addons, blockage, etc) and the endgame chat was EXTRADORDINARILY satisfying after promptly being tunneled out

[trail wyvern]

I just don’t know where I can go from eruption CoB and machine learning to make my gen kicking stronger

[tepid sequoia]

Brutal, help wanted, nowhere to hide, trail of torment, unforseen (latter 2 being temporary while machine learning procs)

[trail wyvern]

I honestly can’t say I blame them I’d be lowkey raging 😭

[exotic escarp]

i have also had this done TO me. it is brutal on the receiving end. ESPECIALLY if they do it multiple times

i dont own felix but could save for him, what about built to last with that build and an extremely powerful toolbox? - OR ADAM PEBBLE

[red yew]

can the same blade hit the same survivor twice with bouncing or shattering blades?

[tepid sequoia]

Idk how yall get mad at that, it's just bruh into a laugh it off

[trail wyvern]

Yeah I was considering ToT or pop cos I’d love to just take like 30% off a gen

[exotic escarp]

Trickster? Once you hit a survivor with the blade, unless you have piercing (hits someone else ahead of them), youll only get one hit per blade. I think shattering adds a little bit of meter. - could be totally wrong. i main trickster but am not a prolific addon user

[trail wyvern]

Wouldn’t blame you for doing it to me either trolling is too fun, bodied this 4 man with knight they were all furious in end game chat, just kept going “hahahaaa you’ll get better someday”

[tepid sequoia]

I'd say prioritize unforseen over trail in a pure gen kick build. Trail requires its own build

[exotic escarp]

THAT kind of salt is how you KNOW you did well.

[red yew]

Yeah but if you have piercing and bounce or shatter can it double stack?

[trail wyvern]

Gotta unlock unknown first 💔

[tepid sequoia]

me who got unforseen in the shrine cuz I'm insane:

[exotic escarp]

ohh mb. no, is the short answer I believe. Piercing and shatter, that might work if it hits the ground just before the other survivor. if you have bounce, the shatter wont stack. (im almost positive on that second part)

[trail wyvern]

Like can I be blamed for “slugging” when the entire 4 man is around shack and I can down them all immediately

[red yew]

nah slugging is legitimate strategy
Bleeding someone out for 4 minutes instead of hooking is the bad part of slugging

[tepid sequoia]

But fr, I don't care for playing unknown or his other 2 perks

[trail wyvern]

I just gotta see if this build would even work that well on anyone I play cos im mostly on like pyramid head, knight, pinhead, singularity nowadays

Unknown does seem boring asf

[tepid sequoia]

He has a lot of nuance to him, but it's just not my style. I respect him though

[trail wyvern]

If a surv was playing like a little bitch and I know for a fact that he’s got someone waiting to down the pallet he’s under, or he’s got the perk that lets you down a pallet when killer picks you up, I will happily leave him there to sort shit out

[tepid sequoia]

You have eruption, that already makes a gen kick build viable, everything else is preference

[exotic escarp]

In a SWF, I think Prove Thy Self would be an awesome addition to Repressed Alliance and Blast, but how do we feel about Deja? i get a bonus on those gens + info.

do not own yoichi for parental guidance 🙁 wiretap does not seem bad at all, to include

this, or, fixated/an exhaust?

[forest flint]

so doesnt jagged work with rage?

[trail wyvern]

Actually never taking it off it’s too good

[red yew]

I think flip flop power struggle doesn't work anymore, at least from my attempts. However, slugging is generally okay as long as you don't bleed people out for 4 minutes refusing to hook them.

[forest flint]

they didnt say that so i doubt it

[tepid sequoia]

Mirrored illusion

[trail wyvern]

Half the time they complain about being slugged for a minute while I chase their mate and they’ll dc, I love it

[exotic escarp]

that is the entire point of the build if you scroll up a bit further? thats the pairing.

[silver wolf]

Can anyone let me know if Eruption is better than Surge?

[tepid sequoia]

We were literally talking about it for minutes before he asked lmao

[primal folio]

Floods should activate on any unhook with Jagged

[forest flint]

not saying it and just saying youre gonna do it anyway is not convincing but ok

[primal folio]

Hard to directly compare the two due to the trigger differences, but most would say Surge is generally 'better'

[tepid sequoia]

Also depends on the killer

[forest flint]

no i know that but what i thought was you said it should activate without jagged. thats why i was confused

[silver wolf]

I see

[uncut vigil]

killer dependent

[trail wyvern]

Surge and eruption don’t work together do they

[primal folio]

They do

[brittle garden]

I doubt it but does human greed apply to vecna chests

[tepid sequoia]

Why wouldn't they

[exotic escarp]

im sorry, what are you actually saying? i said thats the point of the build, its not exactly new? genuinely, not trying to be rude, i think im misunderstanding smth here

[silver wolf]

For Ghostface or Legion, mainly Ghostface or M1 killers

[primal folio]

Negative. Powers do not interact with perks for the most part.

[tepid sequoia]

On legion it's debatable, but ghostface probably can't afford to kick gens for eruption so yeah

[trail wyvern]

Just assumed since it’s already regressing from eruption but that seems kinda crazy imagine pop+eruption+surge that’s what 38% regression

[forest flint]

ok then use it bro. im not saying anything just didnt seem like that wasnt what you were gonna use it for. you said youre going for funny not strategic yet youre planning on using it strategically

[primal folio]

Pop is a percentage of CURRENT progress, not total

[silver wolf]

Ah true, good point. Thank you

[tepid sequoia]

And pretty sure those all count as seperate regression events, so you'd burn through them fast

[trail wyvern]

Ah yeah would still be decent if you got the conditions right

[exotic escarp]

? ohhh no i was trying to say there is multiple uses. what else would I use the build for beside, yknow, the point. its a meme build, but can be inherently strategic PAIRED with things. two things can coexist at once.

im not personally planning on using it strategically, I was trying to point out that there are uses with a swf and pts build

[trail wyvern]

Idk I’m just having fun with gen slowdown recently, been getting 4ks at like 4 gens left

[tepid sequoia]

That's cuz slowdown is the meta

[exotic escarp]

any suggestions for the 4th perk if I used repressed, blast, and wiretap? anything even remotely synergenic or passively useful would be appreciated. (i dont own parental guidance)

[brittle garden]

How good are franklins demise, weave attunement, and human greed together?

[tepid sequoia]

Which also means you just enjoy winning, regression doesn't have much to do with it

[trail wyvern]

This is very true

[tepid sequoia]

You didn't respond to my mirrored illusion

[exotic escarp]

oh i am so sorry I actually didnt see that! thats mb. I dont own that either but now that I think about it would be a good idea if I got it in the future. that would go full on into the trolling, i kinda fw it

[tepid sequoia]

Hmm, then maybe fogwise or dark sense, so you can setup the bombs in advance. Or object of obsession

Tho terror radius exists so idk

You could still use the time to hide anyway, if you know the killer is actually coming

[exotic escarp]

hmm. i do like fogwise since its a free aura if you can hit greats. any thoughts on sprint burst/fixated combo/individually to replace wiretap; with the idea being you can "run" away and then quickly come back/generally being useful? - pretty much cosplaying a rat for the main sequence of the build

im just theorizing atp since I think wiretap/fogwise is a good way to lean into it. if i ever get the character, I will 100% use mirrored

[tepid sequoia]

Yeah, sprint burst should be good, so you don't instantly die from the killer as soon as you put repressed

[crisp reef]

How old is the offering black splinter?

[exotic escarp]

I think ima go with wiretap/sprint burst or wiretap/fogwise. it seems like it would all synergize relatively well. plus sprint burst incentivises the killer to go for the gen since you just get major distance

[simple flower]

Update when?

[tepid sequoia]

True

@simple flower 23rd

[tepid sequoia]

Actually no, sprint burst should be saved for after the kick. The whole thing is worthless if the killer doesn't kick it

[exotic escarp]

sprint burst it is. wiretap is already aura reading and ill know when to come back, plus if the killer DOES come for me, I do have actual distance - decisions, decisions

[crisp reef]

Or at least when was it retired

[vagrant socket]

Bro how tf did I dc as killer I have extremely good wifi? I literally disconnected as I was about to win bruh.

[past sparrow]

ptb or regular dbd?

[tepid sequoia]

Sprint burst is here to not die from the combo, since the killer is gonna be almost out of stun by the time you come back to hit repressed @exotic escarp

[vagrant socket]

regular game

[past sparrow]

probably just a bad server, i would keep an eye on that though

[vagrant socket]

alright

[exotic escarp]

In that case, what about lithe or fixated? both seem like a decent toss in as opposed to complete synergy - can hide after the repressed alliance/stun wears off

[tepid sequoia]

Only things that do the same job here as sprint burst are dead hard and parental guidance

[scarlet garnet]

Ptb ended a while all

[exotic escarp]

actually, if im leaning COMPLETELY into annoying survivor... flashbang? (ive decided sprint burst isnt worth how hard it is to use it properly in the event I get the repressed/blast to work)

or a second chance. not exactly synergizes but deli/adren could be nice

[tepid sequoia]

That would indeed be very funny

[exotic escarp]

i really wanna meme and everything else feels too complicated, i think flashbang is the best play

do gens: killer gets blinded and annoyed. very simple

[tepid sequoia]

Yeah, blast mine into flashbang for double the blind into repressed for the cherry on top

[exotic escarp]

or yknow decisive since i almost always get tunneled promptly after getting caught. one final - oh my god the DOUBLE BLIND

[tepid sequoia]

What else did you think lol

[exotic escarp]

i didnt think at all

[tepid sequoia]

Anyway, gl, I gotta go sleep

[exotic escarp]

[slow spade]

perks recomended for survivor build? i have steve, lara and 500 auric cells

[proud mirage]

Is the Frank stone Legendary for the trapper still coming this month? 😅

[trail wyvern]

Does franklins work with pinheads box

[proud mirage]

I don’t think so ☺️

[primal folio]

Coming, yes
Release date was not provided to my knowledge

[primal folio]

No, powers do not interact with perks for the most part

[hollow python]

hey guys i just used a white ward for a game i brought a syringe and i lost my syringe after using it. am i missing something?

[trail wyvern]

Ah shame

[grave axle]

I just started playing the game today i dont really know the objective as a survivor can sm1 pls help me and also i realised not every operator can ve unlocked with the red money i wanna buy some operators with the red money what yall recommend

[slow spade]

repair gens and escape

[trail wyvern]

Long story short, go around and do generators, try not to die, help your teammates where you can. Gonna be rough when you’re just starting out but you’ll get there, all I can say is to just practice

[grave axle]

Ight thank u

[primal folio]

Did you use the syringe that game?

If the addon is consumed, you don't get it back

[candid drift]

Hey! if i buy the game on steam and cross progress will i not have the characters i brought via the microsoft store on my steam even tho its the same account ?

[wraith yoke]

you will

[candid drift]

oh ok thanks

[wraith yoke]

you just can't have characters bought on switch

[candid drift]

okay that’s fine then i haven’t touched switch.

[hollow python]

i see

[lament totem]

whats the best generic nemesis build i can make with artist perks and basic perks (and nemesis perks ofc)

doesnt need to be a specific playstyle but just something reliable

[tight radish]

Pain resonance, grim embrace, spies from the shadows, eruption maybe. Fortune's fool would also be good instead of grim embrace

[lament totem]

thank you!

[red yew]

what is a whacky build for two can play and on what killer would it make sense? I am thinking of Two can play , spirit fury, enduring and hubris on spirit.

[atomic wing]

Is there a way to turn in game chat off on steam? seeing rare kind ggs isn’t worth the 50+ toxic messages to find them 😭

[slow spade]

who is the best survivor rght now?

[uncut vigil]

yes. you can hide the chat by clicking the chat bubble

[atomic wing]

Thank you 💖

What add ons should I use if im trying to get hillbillys adept?

[red yew]

the sneaky ones

[vagrant socket]

like what

its just chainsaw sprint, overdrive and turn rate

FOUND IT mb

[red yew]

I think apex muffler and filthy slippers
But they are probably not the best ones to ttake

[spark panther]

As demo does channeling abyss slow you down?

[wraith yoke]

Hello I am a new player looking for people to play the game with and to help do achievements I am on Xbox

[red yew]

#looking-for-group

[spark panther]

I have enough to buy 4 licensed killers who should I buy and why?

[spark panther]

Also tysm

[exotic escarp]

Thoughts on Blast Mine, Lithe, Quick and Quiet, and Dance with me? I was previously using windows instead of lithe and finesse instead of blast but this feels FAR more freeing and fun while keeping the idea centered around escaping with vaults and blasty blindy

[keen lotus]

Should I buy Felix with iri shards for BTL to make fog vials funni

[spark panther]

Also I'm a xbox player

[keen lotus]

Perks or Kit

[spark panther]

Little bit of both

[keen lotus]

Funneh perk or meta perk

[stoic river]

ghoul and dracula because they are the best, then demo and bubba for perks

[exotic escarp]

I have Lithe, Vigil, Blast Mine, and im wondering, should I use Windows or Fixated for my 4th?

Ive been drifting between a lot of builds and this is the only one thus far that I have felt genuinely confident in! im just not sure about the fourth 🙂

[spark panther]

Funneh

[sudden acorn]

Can you see survivor auras while in bat mode on dracula?

[vagrant socket]

dracula has garbage perks though

[sudden acorn]

So real about Dracula. Bought him as my second licensed killer despite his mid perks because of just how fun he is.

[stoic river]

I never said his perks were good, my comment even implies they are not good at all

[vagrant socket]

I know I was just mentioning it

[red yew]

Don't listen to that guy. Dracula is decent if you like him and ghoul is unfun and bad perks. Demo has one good perk and bubba is actually decent for his perks alone. I think you should get Springtrap (fun to play plus phantom fear) , Nemesis (relatively fun to play and good perk), pyramid head is fun to play and maybe bubba or myers idk

[stoic river]

dracula and kaneki are by far the 2 best lisenced killers strenght wise

[sudden acorn]

Ghoul is unfun for survivors and he has like 1 bad perk

[red yew]

ghoul is unfun for killers and survivors and has no good perks

Dracula is fine if you like him

[sudden acorn]

[spark panther]

I already got springtrap and nemi (i got them awhile ago) they are both super fun for me

[vagrant socket]

the ghoul is boring as hell to play

[stoic river]

fun is subjective, i play a lot of ghoul he is very fun

[red yew]

click to injure , then play an M1 killer until you down

[red yew]

prob get pyramid head and/or ghostface if you don't have them

[spark panther]

Reminds me of hag

[sudden acorn]

Legit my advice is watch gameplay of killers and see if they interest you

[spark panther]

I also got ghostface but I find his kit unfun

[red yew]

You just need to press right click to injure someone for free, then you have to play an M1 killer until you down them

[red yew]

you can do some fun stuff because he is a stealthy killer but he is an M1 killer primarily

[sudden acorn]

Ignoring the whole slingshotting around the map thing but yknow

[royal copper]

will pain resonance activate on a generator that's already regressing? will it activate on a gen blocked by grim embrace or dms?

[sudden acorn]

I belive it will active on a regressing gen. Not sure about if its blocked

[spark panther]

I think so because eruption works on repressing gens

[sand osprey]

im new to the game and main hag, what killers should i prestige first for perks for her

[sudden acorn]

What killers do you have rn?

[spark panther]

Depends how do you play her?

[stoic river]

yes

[spark panther]

Ok so for my 4 killers I'm thinking demo,Bubba,Myers and p head

Does that sound good?

[stoic river]

if you like those, they are all pretty mid

[primal folio]

Executioner is generally regarded as in the top 10 stronger killers, there are no "bad" killers in DBD as everyone is able to get a 4k at all levels of play

[spark panther]

Do you mean fun or like a tier like of killers?

[sudden acorn]

Pyramid head is the best of them and Myers is getting a rework next update

[stoic river]

purely strenght fun is subjective

[upper patio]

Best killers are killers with ranged special attacks (Xeno and Nemesis) because I get to ignore pallets and windows and shack is easy asf raaahhhhhh (I suck at looping)

[sudden acorn]

For perks i would recommend Xenomorph and Demogorgon. All of Xenos perks are pretty good and Demogorgon has surge which is a great perk

[stoic river]

they are indeed not

[spark panther]

Pretty sure what he said was a joke

[sudden acorn]

Deathslinger my beloved ♥️

[upper patio]

The fact that I suck at looping, not a joke. The fact that I like them because I get to ignore pallets and windows? Also a fact. Are they the best killers? Nah, that's subjective.

[spark panther]

I'm also gonna get him soon with shards

Imo huntress with the iridescent axe build is really fun

[red yew]

top 3 imo : Springtrap, huntress, Pyramidhead

[verbal bloom]

Many people are saying they’re updating the tunneling and slugging reduction system, and it’s now survivor-sided. I’m thinking of buying a new killer, but after these changes should I buy a survivor instead? I mostly play solo, and I already bought around 8 killers.

[spark panther]

They arnt coming anymore for now

[verbal bloom]

They are not changing?

[sudden acorn]

Those changes are being postponed and reworked for a later update

If you do decide to buy any survivors i recommend kate and feng min

[verbal bloom]

So this new chapter will be same?

[spark panther]

Yes

[sudden acorn]

Yes. The only thing not being added are the tunneling and slugging updates.

[verbal bloom]

Thanks for the info

[red yew]

but myers is still being reworked?

[spark panther]

Yes I'm think his rework is pretty cool

[verbal bloom]

Can u tell good surv with auric cells incase if I buy a survivor I got ada trevor and lara

[spark panther]

Also back on this topic for a sec i just want killers that present fun

[sudden acorn]

To be honest....i really dont know that much about survivor perks

[red yew]

Laurie is definitely up there

[sudden acorn]

Oh yeah she has good perks

[red yew]

I would suggest Michonne too, but I am a bit biased

[hollow scroll]

What’s with the whole grimoire thing

[primal folio]

Could you elaborate on your question please?

[hollow scroll]

Like I see on Twitter they talk about verses and voting and stuff and I have no clue what it’s for, I don’t see it anywhere in game either

[primal folio]

https://thegrimoire.deadbydaylight.com/

It's voting for the 10th anniversary chapter

[sudden acorn]

The grimoire allows survivors to vote on and create a new killer and survivor based on the verses in the grimoire

[hasty copper]

Is the Blood Amber key addon rangeless?

[primal folio]

For the killer aura reveal, yes

[glad marlin]

ANY ACTIVE CODES DM ME PLEASE

[hollow scroll]

Ohhhhh

[hasty copper]

Interesting. So it is a really strong aura reveal item?

[primal folio]

Remember it reveals YOU as well.

It's just Object of Obsession as an addon.

[hasty copper]

The next question is does Eyes of Belmont increase that reveal?

[primal folio]

It should. It works with any timer-related aura reveal mechanic to my knowledge.

[uncut vigil]

did they changed the distortion interaction with amber yet

[primal folio]

Why would they?

[hasty copper]

Does it not work? Meaning do the distortion stacks not get taken?

[primal folio]

It should eat your Distortion tokens and prevent the aura reveal

[hasty copper]

Oh, ok. I would have thought so. Thank you.

Also are any of the perk changes on the PTB going to stay? Or is the whole thing scraped besides the killer and survivor?

[uncut vigil]

but you will still see the killer because thats different from OoO

[hasty copper]

I think of it more as an independent OoO, like you see the killer and the killer sees you, not you seeing the killer because the killer sees you

[uncut vigil]

so back when blood amber was in PTB the testers said it with distortion is on-command no scratch marks and wallhack

[hasty copper]

Hmm. Very interesting. And this isnt changed to your knowledge? Because that was your original question?

[obsidian laurel]

Soo I wanna make my healing faster and I already have circle of healing and botany knowledge and I’m thinking of adding well make it to it so it will be 250% healing speed but idk what perk to get rid of, either boon exponential or boon shadow step, I use both of them a lot but I never really see my team using boon exponential since they don’t realize it’s there since no one uses it so maybe get rid of that? But idk I need opinions

[primal folio]

My opinion is that this isn't the best use of perk slots. Percentages naturally suffer from diminishing returns. Just a 100% heal speed bonus is more than enough

[uncut vigil]

I have not played or tested the interaction myself, but I think I should bring it up

[hasty copper]

I would get rid of Expo, you can also use Do No Harm

@uncut vigil Yeah that does sound a little strong, even though Distortion is on the weaker side now

[obsidian laurel]

Ok ok thanks, I’m a very supportive player, so I normally just focus on unhooking heal and gens🤣, mostly unhooking bc everyone I’ve played with in the past few months don’t unhook at all

[stoic river]

maybe you are unhooking too early

[hasty copper]

Yeah unfortunate. I have been using Autodidact and it works when it works, but getting those stacks isnt easy. The Autodidact curse is a real thing

[obsidian laurel]

No I’ve waited then they go into second stage so I stop waiting or everyone leaves the trial without unhooking the person on the hook so I go back for them🥲

[stark cliff]

Guys which licenced killer should I choose I'm kinda going for ghostface but is there any better?

[obsidian laurel]

What’s autodidact🧍‍♀️

[hasty copper]

Springtrap can be fun at first. Same with Xeno and Demo. Chucky and Dracula are both fun but they have some learning difficulties. I really like Vecna but he also requires a little practice

[main zephyr]

have BHVR ever mentioned giving legendary skins the bloodied versions if the character is prestiged?

[stark cliff]

O thanks bro

[hasty copper]

Not what the perk icon looks like by the way

[stark cliff]

Imma go watch some videos about those killers

[obsidian laurel]

Ohh I never bought him so that’s prolly why I never heard of it🥲

[main zephyr]

guess not

[hasty copper]

I do like it, but it is more of a late game thing. Can be an early game perk if the killer is hit and run, which is where this perk shines. I pair it with Were Gonna Live Forever too for some really fast pickups

[obsidian laurel]

Ok W I’ll try it tomorrow morning

[main zephyr]

good luck

[river lotus]

whats the best build to run to get an iri lightbringer emblem?

[obsidian laurel]

And what’s a good build for plague, and any tips for her? I suck at using her but she’s a killer i genuinely enjoy playing bc I find her super funny😭

[hasty copper]

However I have had people that dont want to be healed which is frustrating on its own but then you also cant get stacks if they dont want to be healed.

Also, the Autodidact curse is where you seemingly get drastically less skill checks. This is obviously perception but it is something you will notice

[main zephyr]

the few times I've run it, I noticed this - then out of nowhere you get 2 back to back and it's like winning the lottery

[obsidian laurel]

I’ve only met ppl like that twice while playing and when it happened i jsut refused to heal them for the rest of the game even when they started asking for it😭

[hasty copper]

For sure, another reason I like to run it. It is just fun to use. It can shave off 8 seconds of healing time basekit. And much much more if the killer has healing slowdown. It is probably the best and strongest counter to healing slowdown because it completely ignores healing speed

@obsidian laurel yeah but I need my Didact tokens

[exotic bay]

I'm guessing Ruin doesn't count as "damaging generator"

[primal folio]

Correct

[obsidian laurel]

I didn’t even know there was a healing slowdown, I jsut hate slow healing so I’m always running a lot of healing perks are really strong medkits😭

[rustic carbon]

Ruin is the generator regressing. Damage is when there is an explosion which causes it to instantly lose a percentage of progress and then begin regressing.

You can actually damage generators while theyre regressing from Ruin using perks like Surge and Pain Res

[solid sundial]

with this ruin buff do we think theres ever gonna be a change to how hexs fuction or not since itll be to powerfull now

[wary cave]

highly doubt it considering that the buff does make it stronger but at the end of the day old ruin was stronger and we'll have to see how this plays out

it's also meant to be strong but counterable by cleansing the hex. if they were going to change how hexes worked due to their strength they would've done it years ago

[solid sundial]

i mean yeah but thats also kinda a poor argument of if it were weak they would have changed it im just talking a buff since people know to well where they spwan so if they see ruin you dont have ruin for long so maybe just like a base kit undying or choseing what totems lit

[wary cave]

i'm confused on what you're asking because at first you're asking if they'll be changing hexes due to the ruin buff being "to powerfull now" and now you're saying that you're referring to a buff to hexes since totems are easy to find?

and the answer to basekit undying or choosing what totem is lit is a no. their form of doing that now is by the hex activating after a prerequisite has occured for example plaything only spawns when a survivor is hooked and only that survivor can cleanse it for the first like 60 or 90 seconds it is up

[solid sundial]

i was asking if with ruin getting a buf if its still possible that hexs altoghter getting a buff since alot of them need it but ones like devour and ruin could be to powerfull and they will be giving surviours alot of base kit stuff it could be nice for some more base kit killer stuff

[frail dawn]

When’s the new update dropping again I forgot

[uncut vigil]

23rd

[wary cave]

i don't think so but all the stuff the survivors were gonna get basekit aren't even going through and will be revisited in a later update to balance it better

i think hexes are fine the position they're in. they're meant to be really strong but with the downside of rng or being completely deactivated for the rest of the match

[tired bloom]

What are some fun builds that won’t make me lose as killer?

[solid sundial]

yes there ment to be a trade off but far to often there cleansed without getting any value

[viscid acorn]

Soooo when's the uptade coming to live dude it's been weeks

[wary cave]

exactly, that's the downside to hexes

stroong and like you just said with a trade off

@viscid acorn the 23rd

[viscid acorn]

Rly where did u get that info from

[solid sundial]

as i also said its to much of a trade off and get erased without value so theres no reason to use them at all the pros dont outway the cons
