  1. Otz have you made a video about perks that have good synergy together for killers and survivors? I always struggle with it and I don't want to run a meta build necessarily ♥️♥️♥️♥️

  2. The first ever survivor I got was Yui, because I bought the entire DLC just for Oni and at the time I only played killer.
    When I started playing survivor I only ever played Yui, and man that wasn't really a good choice lol
    Great Video!

  3. Wild question and not sure if there are already guides for this, but are there ways of practicing chases as a survivor?
    I am 160 hours of almost pure survivor gameplay in and I still can't wrap my head around avoiding/extending a chase.
    Right now I often blame it on MMR going up/down too quickly for me to learn how to counter killers (as I often either get way too strong players or people that really don't know what they are doing, leaving no actual practice), but I feel that is a cowards way out and I actually want to get better.

  4. I think MR X would have been a cool killer but so is Wesker. MR X would be a hybrid of Myers and Nemesis. You would have to stalk in order to get higher in your power and transform into the more final tyrant form of his. Instead of hearing a lullaby or heartbeat it would just be loud footsteps🤷🏽‍♂️

  5. As a James Sunderland main, I'll admit, Cheryl Mason's perks are USELESS if you're new to DBD. If you're a high enough rank, know the game well, and play with good friends. They're quite possibly the most Overpowered perks you can run. I'm glad she wasn't mentioned. She's definitely not for beginners.

  6. I have a more stealth kind of gameplay not being a very good looping player and some of the most important perks i would recommend for stay away from the killers sights that can help are urban evasion for nea, alert from feng and now after the update distortion from jeff. Urban evasion does miracles to save you hiding behind stones and stuff from the map and fooling killers when they check if you are in the area its really funny how you can virtually be more faster crouching then walking using this. The last slot can be really filled with whatever you prefer a healing perk like circle of healing or any another utility

  7. I've played DBD for about 2-3weeks now about 100 hours and have not seen anyone with a prestige above 15 in 100's of games as survivor hitting iridescent 1. then I played Killer a few days ago fir the first time. I played wraith and got out of ash and into bronze. my first game in bronze was against a stack of TTV survivors who one of had prestige 31 times everyone else was over 20. how does this make any sense. Why do these players never appear in my survivor games. but I get them on my first day as killer.

  8. Decent idea for Exhaustion Perks to run. Lithe is a good option for all stages of the game and couple that maybe with a Adrenaline for a bit of extra speed at end game. Has saved me more times than I can count..

  9. I think david is the best starting survivor by far because of WGLF, it potentially gives you double bp in your games so that means faster perks in all your characters, that was without the fact that it gives dh that is arguably the best perk in the game

  10. DBD play time line
    Stage 1: this sucks…. I get destroyed every game
    Stage 2: This game is awesome, fun and has real potential
    Stage 3: How and why am I getting destroyed every game… I got good
    Stage 4: Tunnel one survivor out as killer and smash gens when playing survivor…. maybe predrop pallets and camp while playing killer too.
    Fun 😁😁😁

  11. I’m doing a very unique route, based on what characters and perks I personally like. Started with Bill for his perks, then prestiged Leon because he’s my favorite character and I plan on using him as my survivor once I have all the perks I need unlocked, not so much for his perks specifically. Currently working on David, and then doing Feng or Dwight

  12. I play stealth using Distortion (Jeff teachable) Calm Spirit (Jake Teachable) Urban Evasion (Nea Teachable) and Lightweight (Meg Teachable) all of this on a Claudette with a dark as hell outfit, led to the creation of "The Bush Lurker" able to be right next to a killer and rarely detected, No screams from Iron Maiden, Infectious Fright or similar perks. Limited scratch marks to dive into a bush and confuse the hell out of the killer chasing you once you break line of sight. Urban Evasion to maneuverer around rocks and trees, keeping just out of sight of the killer. And Distortion, since most meta perks are for Aura reading, helps determine if the killer has things like BBQ, or similar perks. Personally I have great fun as this, but it does have it's weaknesses in chase. Hence you stealth everywhere haha.

  13. A word on Exhaustion perks: I think it is really bad practice to recommend beginners to pick exhaustion perks before they have a certain level of skill and practice. Starting out with Lithe or Sprintburst dramatically alters the way you play chases to the point where you might not be able to learn proper decision making when to run or how to loop. Once you know what you're doing those are powerful tools, but you shouldn't start playing immediately with exhaustion perks or you will develop a dependency.
