All 86 Survivor Perks Ranked BEST to WORST & Explained (Dead by Daylight Tier List)



Read more Dead by Daylight ➜ https://deadbydaylight.mgn.tv

Hey everyone, today we are going to be ranking and explaining every survivor perk in the game. This is going to be a pretty heavily subjective but also incredibly difficult video, as there’s such a wide range of perks with a wide range of applications, with varying situations and so on and so on. This is just my personal order but I’m gonna do my best to not be biased towards any perks I might like and try and give a pretty good overview of how each perk in the game would rank. Let’s get into it.

Decisive Strike and Object of Obsession have been announced to have changes coming by BHVR. This list as a result will be relevant until these changes come about in March of 2021.

Hope you enjoy!

  1. REGARDING DEJA VU: It seems I referenced the old version of Deja Vu in this video, which is far worse than the newer version which actually does quite a bit more. As a result it should realistically be around the same point as Visionary, ~50 in the ranking and not in the 80's as many of you have pointed out. My bad on that one, it seems to be the only 'mistake' in this video though.
    Hope you enjoy! This took a good while to make.

  2. Maybe calm spirit should be at a slightly worse rank? Because the timer on the hook starts after you scream, and if you don’t scream, you lose precious time that you can live on hook.

    An information about Breakout because many people don't know that. I play personally with Breakout when i'm with my friend, and and we saw that the effects of Breakout were cumulative, so with flip-flop or boil-over (i prefer flip-flop but it's just my opinion), it can be really usefull in team

  5. In my experience of playing, Meg, Claudette, Dwight, Nancy, and Felix are probably the most beginner friendly characters. Like, those are the first 3 perks you're going to be using because you usually start with one character. Meg for learning how to do chases, Claudette for encouraging altruism and being a bit self sufficient, Dwight for teamwork and gens, Nancy's teachable are good for learning about scratch marks, being balanced with gens and altruism, and no skill checks for healing. Felix helps teach where gens will likely spawn in each map, and you heal faster when more people are injured which in low ranks, most people will be injured. It just depends on what the new player wants to learn first with their first character. I'm thinking strictly from New person standards. Obviously the more skilled you get, the more you'll experiment and branch out.
