DbD Killer Guides
Explore detailed guides for every killer in Dead by Daylight. Learn their powers, difficulty, and strategies.
Michael Myers
Evil Within
The Shape stalks survivors to power up Evil Within through three tiers. At Tier III he can instantly down survivors with a single hit.
Freddy Krueger
Dream Demon
The Nightmare pulls survivors into the Dream World where they suffer reduced action speeds. He can place dream snares and teleport to generators.
Ghostface
Night Shroud
The Ghost Face stalks and marks survivors for instant downs. He has no terror radius in Night Shroud, making him excellent at stealth gameplay.
Pyramid Head
Rites of Judgement
The Executioner carves trails of torment and unleashes Punishment of the Damned through walls. Cages of Atonement bypass hook perks entirely.
Pinhead
Summons of Pain
The Cenobite launches chains to bind survivors. The Lament Configuration spawns periodically, triggering Chain Hunt if unsolved.
Sadako
Deluge of Fear
The Onryo teleports to TVs across the map and projects Condemned stacks. Fully Condemned survivors can be killed instantly.
Chucky
Playtime's Over
The Good Guy uses his small size and Hidey-Ho mode to dash through loops. His tiny hitbox makes him hard to track.
Trapper
Bear Trap
The Trapper places bear traps around the map to catch unsuspecting survivors. Proper trap placement at pallets, windows, and common paths can shut down loops and secure easy downs.
Hillbilly
Chainsaw
The Hillbilly revs his chainsaw for a high-speed sprint across the map, instantly downing survivors on contact. He has incredible map pressure but requires precise steering.
Nurse
Spencer's Last Breath
The Nurse blinks through walls and obstacles, ignoring all pallets and windows. She has the highest skill ceiling of any killer but moves at the slowest base speed.
Wraith
Wailing Bell
The Wraith cloaks himself invisible and moves at increased speed. Uncloaking near survivors grants a speed burst for a quick first hit.
Hag
Blackened Catalyst
The Hag draws traps on the ground that create phantom copies when triggered. She can teleport to any triggered trap, controlling large areas and punishing unhooks.
Doctor
Carter's Spark
The Doctor uses Static Blast to shock nearby survivors, revealing locations and increasing Madness. At Madness III, survivors cannot interact with objects until they snap out of it.
Huntress
Hunting Hatchets
The Huntress winds up and throws hatchets at range, able to down survivors across the map. She hums a lullaby within 45 meters. Consistent hatchets at loops make her extremely effective.
Clown
The Afterpiece Tonic
The Clown throws bottles of intoxicating gas that slow and blur survivor vision, and invigorating gas that speeds himself up. He excels at shutting down loops but lacks map traversal.
