Dead by Daylight: Survivor Perk Builds

This is a guide to numerous creative perk builds for Dead by Daylight
**Many builds featured in this guide are not mine, some of them came from videos by popular YouTube content creators such as: Otzdarva, Scott Jund, Tithi, Ayrun, JRM, Sweh, etc.

Hi! My name is frogs and I’ve been playing Dead by Daylight since April of 2020. The more I got into the game, I realized that there was an apparent learning curve. Leveling up each character is a grind and the game can become quite boring once you’ve exhausted the same perks game in and game out.

This guide was created to serve as inspiration for unique and fun builds to be used in both SWF’s and solo queue. From what I’ve seen, there’s no guide quite like this one! If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment on how I can further improve and expand the guide! Thanks for reading

  Order in which I recommend leveling up (base characters):

  3. William "Bill" Overbeck (Unbreakable)
  4. Feng Min (Lithe) -- free DLC on console
  5. Kate Denson (Windows of Opportunity, Dance with Me) -- free DLC on console
  6. Claudette Morel (Botany Knowledge, Empathy)

  8. Nea Karlsson (Balanced Landing)
  9. Jake Park (Iron Will)
  11. Ace Visconti (Open Handed) -- free DLC on console
  
  General Tips
  - do not use technician -- it hurts you more than it helps
  - do not use self care -- the time it takes to heal is unjustifiable & you are better off with a med-kit
  - try not to walk around the map conserving sprint burst, you end up wasting more time than saving
  - try not to use urban evasion
  - lithe, dance with me, quick and quiet, lightweight pair very well with each other
  - iron will does not pair well with exhaustion perks; crouching makes you quieter

  This build is best used if all 4 survivors bring Up the Ante and the luck offerings.
  "I just did the math. Assuming the luck is additive and everyone's alive, that's a 9% boost per survivor (36% total) from Up The Ante, with a 4% base chance to escape the hook. That comes down to 40% for everyone.
  Unhooks follow a binomial distribution, so the chance that you'll succeed at least once over 6 attempts (3 base + Slippery Meat) is around 95,33%.
  If you put in Vigo's Jar of Salty Lips x4, that's another 12%, which gives you around 98,78% chance to self-unhook"
  Credit to 'Orion' on the Dead by Daylight forums for doing the math.
