Dead By Daylight Killer Guide: The Oni

If you’re a newer player this can be hard to get used to. Even experienced players may find themselves having trouble with Legion if they prefer killers with more passive abilities like the Trapper and his bear traps or the Doctor with Carter’s Spark to cause madn


On paper this ability does not seem all that useful, yes it allows players to travel the map incredibly quickly but there is another layer that makes the move such a threat in the Dead by Daylight meta. By adding additional time to Spencer's Last Breath the Nurse can blink multiple times in succession. These multiple blinks add an additional second to the recharge period per blink used in succession but it can be used to rapidly cover the distance of a fleeing survivor in an inst


A new killer means three new perks which can be taught to all other killers, and can be more impactful to the meta of the game than the killer alone. The first is Gearhead, an information perk that has been nerfed since its first reveal in the beta. Put simply, as players must first hit two basic attacks to activate, its duration has been reduced considerably from 45 to 30 seconds at maximum rank, and now only applies to good skill checks instead of all, there is little benefit to using Gearhead relative to the other information perks mentioned ab


Gearhead is further limited because it does not activate from special attacks, such as either Leatherface or Hillbilly’s chainsaw, or hatchets thrown by the Huntress, and is all but counterproductive outside of certain M1 killers. Even in select builds, the conditions required to gain any information are simply too demanding compared to something like Discordance, which offers what could be argued as superior information with no input needed from the kil


Players aware of Legion's strengths will know that sticking together is a death sentence and will make a habit of staying spread apart. Survivors will tackle generators solo, heal their own wounds, and only unhook someone when Legion is far a


A major tactic implemented to almost all Hillbilly player's arsenal is using his Chainsaw charge as a recon ability. Given how incredibly fast the ability is it allows for Hillbilly players to make rounds of a given area extremely efficiently. Plus the fact that the charge has no in-game stopping point other than running into a hazard allows for Hillbilly player to almost endlessly run around a given map. Making it quite easy to find and take out Survivors in the blink of an eye. So utilizing the Chainsaw charge as less of a pure offensive tool and more of a method to efficiently travel a map is the sign of a smart Hillbilly pla


The primary downside to this ability is that, if the Hillbilly runs into an environmental hazard, then the character will be left in a stunned state for a few seconds. So the move does grant the Killer an incredible boost of speed, it is not as brainless of an attack as it sounds. A smart Hillbilly player will learn the intricacies of the charge and learn to navigate the rapid Killer with clinical precis


Of course, the Feral Frenzy Chain only works if you can inflict the Deep Wound status effect, failing to do that causes the buff to disappear and you must wait for a 20 second cooldown to use Feral Frenzy ag


Provided his slow starts to matches, the Oni is rather reliant on the previously mentioned perks to succeed in hunting down survivors. So if a player has no access to the mentioned perks they will notice a difficulty in initiating the oppressive offense of the Oni. It is almost too reliant on these perks to succeed online. However, that is not to say that the Oni cannot be successful without the mentioned perks, but Oni almost certainly is unoptimized without them. So be sure to grind until these perks are at your disposal to truly optimize your Oni p

Dead Man's Switch is the second new Streetwise perk bug, and there is certainly potential for usefulness here with certain killers. Since the perk only activates when hooking the Obsession, it all but requires pairing with the Nemesis perk to constantly have a stream of viable targets. Otherwise, the most value one could get from this perk is three activations, and that would require either a bit of luck playing optimally, or tunneling and camping a single survi
