By the way, which killer perk do you not want to upgrade? I heard there was one that basically became less useful at higher tiers.

Discordance was the only one I know of, but they changed it so only the range is affected by level now so you want to upgrade it.

PMush Perfect posted:Edit 2: Equally unrelated, I'm torn about whether I wanna spend my next 9k shards on Clown, for Pop (and Bamboozle, I guess), or on Deathslinger because he's the next killer I wanna try out. I already have Hag, so Hex: Ruin is an option for a slowdown perk, but there's been many, many times where I wished I had Pop. (I'm probably gonna try out the jank strat of Ruin and Haunted Ground on the same set soon, because lol.) Long term, if you're only interested in Pop then don't get Clown. Grab a killer who is fun and wait for Pop to show up on the shrine again. Also Bamboozle is a bad perk. There aren't enough god windows to justify using it, and most windows if you use it all you're actually doing is forcing a pallet drop when you could have gotten a hit.

Don't think I saw this posted, a few DLCs are being given away by alienware: https://na.alienwarearena.com/ucf/show/2144786/boards/giveaways-and-contest-na/Giveaway/dead-by-daylight-dlc-key-giveaway-lvl-20 I don't think you need anything other than an account? Looks like only one DLC per account. Tomorrow is Cursed Legacy, followed by Chains of Hate, and then Descend Beyond.

Tried Pyramid Head, I'm very bad at him. Tried Doctor, had 2 matches where everyone got away and then 3 in a row where no one did. I love how well he absolutely shits on people for attempting to loop.

If you zap somebody they can't drop pallets or vault pallets/windows for 2.5 seconds. The timing is tricky since if you're even .1 off they'll drop it before the zap registers but it really punishes people who wait to squeeze out that extra bit of chase time. Otherwise Doctor is as limited as any 115% killer, building madness to T3 and breaking chase if they're giving you the ol' double window is a fine play.

He's very good at stopping loops. Put down a trail in the middle of a pallet path, most survivors will chop off their own face before they step in it. If someone's going for an obvious window, aim the sword laser at it before they get there, if they don't change their mind it's a hit Used to be you could get a lot of mileage out of starting up a sword laser and then canceling into an M1 hit if you didn't like what you were seeing, but they nerfed that. Although you now get punished a lot less for using your sword lasers in general, so feel free to go nuts with them

Oni and Deathslinger are about equally good in different ways (Oni plays like Billy had a child with Myers. Deathslinger is kind of like Huntress in that if you can aim well you can do insane things). Blight is awful but has amazing perks (good enough I expect them to be nerfed any day now)

I might have tried to pick up Deathslinger since he seems like he has a nice balance between decent perks and gameplay, with Blight as a backup for perks, but since I'm traveling most of the day Saturday I might just try each day starting with Oni.

Deathslinger can be really effective for securing hooks but he is highly map dependent. If you're on a map with a ton of garbage strewn everywhere he can have more issues, but that just means that you have to play to his strengths and guard generators in areas where there are more open spaces or you have the ability to ambush people more.

Blight is also really good but very difficult to play. Here's Scott Jund's Blight guide. You can watch a few of his matches to see how quickly a good Blight can down people, and how quickly he can be wherever on the map he feels like. Unless it's Rotten Fields. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyuTmnd825A Pyrolocutus posted:For the Alienware key giveaway, of the remaining (Oni/Deathslinger/Blight), which might be most useful?

Deathslinger's advantage is that he can get reliable hits in chases relatively quickly, depending on the loop/map. However, he doesn't have one-shot outside of iridescent add-ons and perks, and if you ever get two shots in a row, the combo isn't actually that fast (Also the deep wound is great). Oni's advantage is that at max blood he can down an entire team with Infectious Fright.

What is the trick to using Oni? I know people say to use his dash then heavy attack to down, but the maps are so filled with dead corners and his charge has such a huge windup that survivors just walk behind a wall or object and I overshoot them or have to stop and adjust. VVV Cheers, ill look into the video as well. I've tried messing around with him more and if you are willing to just blindly scrape your face against a wall for a bit before finding a door you can get it done pretty good, as long as the survivors aren't making real 90 degree turns.

Depends on the loop. Most important thing to remember is that when you use demon strike during the demon dash, you can rotate up to 90 degrees (flicking) so if some one only just ducked behind a corner you can actually still hit them. Beyond that, you usually can't dash on very short loops with full 180 turns but those are also not particularly strong loops. For larger loops, how you approach helps. Remember that you can strafe left and right during your dash, which combined with turning can often be enough to get you within 90 degrees of whoever's turning the corner. Another big thing to remember is that if you hit a wall you won't stop dashing. This can let you use your power even on loops with sharp 180 degree turns by faking going one direction then drifting through the pallet to come out on the other side. If the survivor guesses wrong you'll probably be on them (or right next to them) before they an get back around to safety. For addons, grab the Scalped Top Knot. With the extra charge speed increase there are very few loops and corners you can't dash and get hits on. As for just a raw demon strike, you only have to charge until his hands turn red. After than any time you let go he'll do his big slam. edit: Also don't be afraid to start your rage to down some one who's already injured. Dashing can let you drop some one extremely quickly then hop to another person so even if you're not downing a healthy survivor the time saved can be worth it. Alternatively you can just down and hook them super quick and not waste very much charge. So long as you're injuring one or two people per rage, there'll be more than enough blood orbs around the map to regain your power when you need it. 2nd edit: Also Scott Jund's Oni guide, which helped me a lot to learn Oni. The only real addition to this vid that I have is you don't need to just follow one survivor to farm blood from them at the start. If you see an opportunity to hit a second healthy survivor absolutely take it, and if you can down that first survivor super quick it's probably worth giving up the early blood for extra pressure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfvciT6nnB8 TGLT fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Oct 29, 2020 |

And while I think Oni's better from a tier list perspective, Deathslinger is still absolutely a good killer.

I think arguably Oni is better (or at least more meta) because mobility killers tend to have a much, much easier time. But in the end what really matters is what you like, and whether "giant man with huge club" or "cowboy with a harpoon gun" appeals more to you.

The issue with the mobility killers is that the ones that are the best are so good that they overshadow all the other ones. Like yes, I could play Legion and use my power to be able to bleed and jump windows people in exchange for not being able to down them... or I could just use the Nurse, blink them in the face twice, and then go about my day. The only one that the Nurse doesn't really overpower everyone else at is the Stranger Things lab, and that's just because it's such a clusterfuck of walls that you tend to blink into the wrong place.

Just reached lv15 with Legion. They're pretty fun, but I really have to wonder what's the point of the deep wound status effect. There's doesn't really seem to be any situation where it could be relevant, other than having an afflicted survivor who has no idea what they're doing.
