For some, victory is doing their best with the resources they have, which amounts to their teammates. For other players, anything less than total victory is unacceptable, which is why some survivors or Fireteam members leave a match the moment something does not go their


A solid strategy when using the Demogorgon is to place a portal at every generator or major location across a map. This allows the killer to have access to any location that a survivor may deem as advantageous. On top of this accessibility, the Demogorgon can activate each of these portals to essentially have a full surveillance camera to watch over these key areas. This allows the killer to lock down any offensive attempts made by the survivors and to excel at dominating the online ar


Wraith - The second original killer in the bottom rung of the leader boards, the Wraith specializes in turning invisible and sneaking up on survivors. However, the invisibility isn't perfect and survivors can actually knock the Wraith out of invisibility using flashlights which are all-too common for survivors to bring into a match. While there are some pretty good builds for Wraith, they are more fun than practical for high rank p


Hillbilly - If players want to quickly zip around the map and apply pressure to survivors constantly, Billy is the perfect choice. Thanks to his chainsaw, Billy can dash from one end of the map to the other (and down any survivor who happens to cross his path).

It's easy to see why Billy is often ranked as one of the best killers in the Dead by Daylig

These are among the most common outcomes to a match in these kinds of games, and one would be hard-pressed to find two matches that ever play out in the same way. With such distinct possible outcomes, how exactly does one measure succ


The best way to decide on a favorite killer is to try out each member of the cast without any additional add-ons. Simply experimenting with each killer and their perks will illuminate a particular person's favorite or least favorite play style. This experimentation will show a player which killers are most effective, which ones they enjoy playing as or even which general play styles to avoid.

Nurse - The Nurse has always been a strong force in Dead By Daylight guide by Daylight thanks to her Blink ability. Much like Billy, the Nurse has excellent map pressure and she features some of the best killer perks in Dead by Daylight as well.

The Demogorgon's "of the abyss" special moves allows the creature to create portals which allow him to navigate the map rapidly. These portals are tunnels which allow the creature to access the "upside-down" and maneuver without detection to an already created tunnel. This allows the Demogorgon to be undetectable as he travels and provides the creature with an unparalleled map presence and cont


When a survivor cleanses in a pool, the Plague can use that pool to get Corrupt Purge which will damage survivors when the Plague throws up on them. The Plague is certainly interesting to play as but if players are just putting up with the corruption instead of cleansing it then the Plague is severely limited in terms of options. However, a recent buff makes it so she can always get at least one pool of Corrupt Purge in a match so at least she isn't completely powerless when no survivor's clea
