All 60 Iridescent Add-ons Ranked Worst to Best & Explained! (Dead by Daylight) 

Black Box can be actually really good with the addon where they can’t awake with missed skillchecks considering how many people 99 gates

I think we can all agree that Pyramid Head's iri-add-ons are the best 👌

Sadly Pyramid head not only lost his cake, he lost any chance of having good iris

4.2m/s matchbox nurse wasn't great but 4.4m/s matchbox is surprisingly effective. Makes her play like a huntress in loops where instead of throwing hatchets over obstacles you throw yourself over (or through) them. Pair it with the buffed undetectable on blink-hit addon and you're a stealth killer that can blink, which is at the very least funny as hell also the black incense plague addon is truly diabolical with lethal pursuer. Survivors vomit randomly every 5-15 seconds, meaning at *worst* you're seeing every infected survivor's aura 33% of the time. At best it's just constant aura reading on everyone which is amazing.

You forgot to mention that the Iri Mixtape only works while you're in Frenzy. I play Legion a lot, and found the best way to get max value is to combine it with the No Sleep Pills. I wouldn't really rely on it as a free Ruin, but it can work as a replacement for Surveillance, if you use that perk, opening up a slot for something else.

10:53 i love using this add on with the map being "the game" its fun following survivors while they run down below

I never found out why Blight has an addon to break pallets faster and slow down survivors while Wesker's addon just allows him to break them.

The best part of the Iridescent Company Banner is the mini Blood Warden.

As a Plague Main - Iri Seal is her literal best addon. It is incredibly strong and useful even on its own due to the fact that the most common way survivors play against a plague is NOT DRINKING. Also helps a lot on huge maps, where reaching a fountain will take you a lot of time back and forth - you don’t need a fountain, cause gens!

I think Trickster’s photocard is ridiculously underrated. You can easily combine it with Lethal Pursuer and the purple cufflinks to basically guarantee a OHKO so early into the match you can feasibly down someone within 30 seconds of the game starting. With the right setup and the fact that Trickster is one of the most disgusting hook campers in the game you can easily camp someone to death and have lots of time to spare hunting down and killing the rest of them.

I believe huntress's iridescents are supposed to work together, since iri head limits you to one hatchet. You throw the hatchet, either hit or miss the survivor, and depending on the scenario it either downs them or gives you that little extra nudge of speed they don't expect to catch up. -a huntress enthusiast that uses begrimed head and the soldier's belt for most games to make everyone angry

As someone who uses Nurse basically with the matchbox i don't think it's as bad tbh. It may lower her potential in the right hands but its amazing for everyone because you have both a blink for distance/chase and you move fast. Also i use pwyf to surprise survivord with a fast nurse which is hilarious

I'll have to heavily disagree about Waterlogged Shoe and Matchbox. I think that the former is a middle tier Ultra Rare while the latter is a top tier Ultra Rare. By itself, Waterlogged Shoe may not look like much, but having the ability to be 115% and slow down Survivors is still pretty decent in chase, and its ability to combine with Severed Hand makes it a monstrous add-on in indoor maps. Matchbox is an add-on that quite literally makes Nurse broken in a different way. Being 4.4m/s with the ability to still Blink through solid objects is good and still basically prevents Survivors from doing too much of anything to counter Nurse. Add that with its synergy with Wooden Horse and Save the Best for Last, and Nurse's potential with Matchbox becomes revealed fast.

A core issue with a chunk of these is that you're relying on the survivors to do something. Which they could not do. Ones like Coxcombed Clapper that give you value from the get-go or just make you scarier like Myers should be the main factor for all of them. To just be the OP version of your base.

Mix Renjiro's Bloody Glove with Lethal Pursuer, Sloppy Butcher, and Splintered Hull / Wooden Oni Mask, you'll almost always be locating survivors. Personally, it's one of my favorite add-ons, just because getting information is very valuable.

10:44 Dwight gets sacrificed, gets saved, gets downed by the chainsaw, and then runs away, Wtf

I agree with most of the placements, except two: iri seal (plague) and iri tag (blight). Iri seal allows a plague to get her puke very often, even if survivors don't cleanse, and though it may be inconsistent, it's power output is so high that it's worth running. Iri tag is completely busted. As someone who has maimed blight for a very long time, I can tell you that it's surprisingly easy to get value from it, especially with alch ring or blighted crow. It's allows a killer with a lot of snowball potential to snowball even quicker and easier, making it s-tier for me.

Seeing myers tuft of hair on top is surprising to me, I main this killer and I know it’s weaknesses of which is like playing against the plague (as if she has no corrupt purge fountains) it’s a really good add on but I wouldn’t deem it overpowered.

Knights contract is actually quite useful since you can count which guard will give the expose and force a survivor into an unwinnable tile. They either take the hit from the guard and are stuck at the tile until the next or they get instantly downed by the Knight. I have gotten more value from it than not and half of the times I don't is specifically because I forget to pay attention to the roulette.

Honestly Renjiro's Glove is actually way better than people give it credit for. The amount of info it gives you is quite valuable. And if you pair with an addon that increases blood orb frequency the downside is pretty much negligible

I don't play Freddy but I could imagine the black box would be pretty funny if you're chasing a survivor to the exit gate when they're in the dream world

In my experience, Sadako's remote control is a terrible add on EXCEPT when paired with her other iri the original tape, in which case it's very good, better than ring drawing imo. When you're constantly giving stacks and turning on TV's with the tape, survivors have to pick up tapes more often, and the remote shows you where tape carrying survivors, who are most susceptible to getting fully condemned, are going. It can even give you an idea of where their TV is so you can fully prevent them from losing their stacks.

I enjoy the vids man. Some auditory cues when changing topics might be helpful sometimes

Love the video man. Really good. Keepup the great work.

The only thing that I truly hate about Bhvr themselves is their attrocious balancing team, since they're not a big budget company. Bugs? Understandable. Slow content updates? Okay fine. Terrible balance? Come on....

I actually love Matchbox for the Nurse. I completely changes how you play her and the buff to speed is so much fun and catches survivors off guard all the time.

I use the nurses match box with the add on that let's you rewind when you have no blinks and it works surprisingly well

Although I do agree with knight's company banner I only use it for one reason and I love it. Survivors love to teabag at the exit gates a lot and they never know I use that add-on so when I'm within 15 meters of the gate I place a guard down and I get them all the time

Tier list aside, anyone else notice the Dwight’s body at 10:49 going into the dying state even tho he wasn’t dying? Just looked funny to me 😂

Hey azhymovs for the knights add on is actually pretty good, so obviously I main knight but the fourth guard you summon is the carnifex who breaks pallets right, we’ll I figured out that with the carnifex if you predict a pallet drop you can pre enter guard mode spam break action and by the time you exit your power the pallet is gone, use the add on that decreases command completion time and you can shred pallets and insta down basically

A really cool video to see would be ranking all the killers special abilities

Yet another video with 0 dislikes, you are truly the best youtube of our time

The company banner is actually pretty good, becouse people dont expect it, and now with the orb being invisible past 10m, you cant use it to suprise trap people at the gate, as long as they dont see you send out the patrol.

I still remember "All Seeing Oni" on Hawkins Lab (rest in peace Hawkins, you will be missed). That build was just downright oppressive since it would give perfect knowledge of where anyone was at any given time due to the cramped hallways prevented them from avoiding the blood.

I feel like the other plague add-on is really underrated cause if you use it with stuff like tinkerer, deadlock or both it becomes really strong

Never discarded a script quicker. You're always so on time it's incredible.

I used the Soldier's Puttee for Huntress's challenges that required her to get several hits per match with no hatchets. Worked like a charm.

Kitsugiri tea cup is insanely good as Spirit you want to use your power often and survivors will normally stun or pre drop while you are phasing so then you break the pallet and immediately get your power back the same with chasing them in a building and you break a door you can get your power right away and go for the down

Iri feather is actually very strong on artist paired with the green bell, and is one of the more common pairs used at higher skill levels. You should almost always be out of crows, and thus, almost always undetectable. Very strong esp if u are good with using crows for info in chases

Iridescent Plank pairs decently with Field Recorder (Which makes the trial start during nightfall) since it helps you get pressure on survivors and get some very fast downs when survivors think they're safe since you just hooked somebody on the otherside of the map

Knights contract is really underrated imo because if you hit your first 3 guards and save the 4th, you can insta spawn them on top of survivors and get free downs granted they aren't super close to a pallet or window

I love the pyramid head obsidian goblet because of its really silly effect, but it shouldn't really be iridescent.

Bug at 06:06 He was stunned by the pallet, but the blood vfx showed up on screen as if he managed to land a chainsaw hit!

I love how you got a thirteen hook game around #28 when the dwight got rescued even though he was supposed to be dead

Was doctor unable to see the doctor hallucinations 7 months ago? I'm curious because nowadays I'm able to use the white aura of the hallucinations to know where survivors are if they've run far away and I'm looking for someone to chase.

Ngl I see the shattered stars badge as a meme add on, I run it but with the purple add on with one of the 3 effects being +50% zombie movement speed. It just makes it so funny seeing zombies running around at 300% movement speed once a gen pops.

The tricksters reload after main event add on is actually good if you are really good at landing shots, because if you can consistently trigger main event before you run out of knives you never have to reload at a locker

Oni's aura reading iri is insanely good, for very little cost you get constant aura reading, and for a killer that can loop around the map at least three times with only one use of his ability, it's great. Besides the orbs consumed is only one or two, and if you run his best add-on that causes more blood and something like Sloppy Butcher or Forced Penance, where survivors will remain injured for longer, the number of blood orbs stop being relevant.

Black Box actually changed one of my matches from a 0k to a 3k with an endgame Freddy build. No Way Out + Red Paintbrush ensures a high chance of people being asleep when the gate opens. Terminus or NOED ensures quick downs and Blood Warden punishes the survivors more after Black Box blocks them.

Personally, I find Renjiro's Bloody Glove is just okay unless you pair it with the 33% more blood orbs add-on... Then it really helps you find people. Mind you, I'm a lower-rank killer, so that's probably also why.

Black box in the same tier as the nurse or hag ones, which actively make them worse is unjustified imo. I made good use of it while trying the adept av. You can keep sv in the dreamworld relatively reliable and half a bloodwarden (which is underrated as well) seems quite good to me.

I have an idea for a ranking vid if you haven't made it alread Killer vault animations ranked. Or all common add-ons ranked :) Thanks for reading have a good day :))))))))))

Iri button is literally my favourite addon in the game

How about a video about how well each killer’s iridescent synergize together?

Honestly having played Artist as much as I have, Iri feather is a really good Add-on that allows for very sneaky map traversal

Waterlogged Shoe is now borderline OP, as it turns Hag into the fastest killer in the game in terms of walking speed. Put Severed Hand (mud hags have collision) and chase perks (STBFL, Rapid Brutality, Monitor and Abuse) and she becomes impossible to loop. Matchbox is very good on a chase build, as survivors can't mindgame your blink since you can just W towards them until they're stuck at a loop. The ability to catch up with the survivors makes it very good, as survivors can't dodge you walking up to them, and if they try to loop you, well then you blink and ignore the loop. Also, that one blink recharges super fast.

Billy’s iridescent brick was meant to go with his other Iri add on so it makes his chainsaw completely silent after two seconds

About Bubba's Addon "Carburettor Tunning Guide" i would put it on the 1# worst, its a bugged addon that doesn't work correctly, your speed in the beggining is extremely slow because of the chainsaw acceleration.

I somewhat disagree with the Soldier’s Putte as I regularly run iri head with huntress, so that movement speed for a chase or if I find someone on the way to reload is good

Personally I'd probably put iridescent feather in the minimal value tier at least. If you pair it with the ink egg you'll still have 3 crows for a longer cooldown once you use them all. Overall you can get some decent value from it in a stealth build. Just my take.

Am I tripping or did he forget about the nurse add on that gives you 3 blinks?

I like deathslingers coin it challenges you with the distance but rewards so much

For me, fragrant tuft would be a lot lower XD mostly because by time I hit tier 3 too many gens have been completed to get much value. It's also really difficult to catch up to survivors, especially if they get even the tiniest bit of distance with an exhaustion perk. I also suck at mindgaming loops so if they start to loop me I ain't ever going to catch them XD

As a knight main, contract is one of my favorite add-ons. Yes it only gives expose status for eight seconds, but in this game eight seconds can feel like a lifetime and that is usually enough to force survivors to move to a new position. With that said, banner is really only useful if you’re going for an endgame build or a dedicated anti-loop build. But I would still move them a bit further up the list.

Iri Stone for Trapper is noce and strong... When it works, I regularly have it take 3 minutes for the only option to open itself, if it even does before I've finished the chases...

I'd like to point out that the fuming tape only works when in frenzy. Which means in order to see the aura intensity, and to start the regression, you need to be in feral frenzy. Good if you can push survivors off gens, and saves a perk slot if you like to use discordance. The regression speed isn't that great however.

Can we get a revist on this, since theres been a lot of changes and new addons added?

Can you make list of best addon combination for each killer

Personally I like matchbox for nurse. You don't have to rely on the skill wall of nurse while still having acces to her power. And as someone who's really good at normal chase and decent with blinks combining blinks with basic chase is actually really OP. Her perk that if you get a blink hit you can no longer use her power but you move at 4.6 is also really good for a jumpscare/gen jumping build . Jump to gen hit survivor quickly chase the last hit down again as a really good chaser it works really well as i get the benefits of blinks and the benefits of me chasing. It can also allow confusion on survivors as there expecting one thing from nurse and there not recieving that

At 10:49 the hook meter has only one space left but two survivors are still alive, does that have an impact on the game?

14:31 we’ve all missed an ability like this and flailed our mouse afterward 😅

Okay, few issues here. 16 meters is far more than you think, that's actually DOUBLE the range of Pyramid head's base ranged attack. That's actually very, very strong. Mind you, PH caps at like 11 meters and that thing is larger than the entirety of shack. That completely shuts down certain loops and in indoor maps it completely shuts down MANY loops and leaves them completely vulnerable. Then we have Dredge's other addon. On average, a dredge without malthinkers should have about 4-6 Nightfalls averaged. Add in that you can literally get a guaranteed Nigthfall when all generators are powered with an addon, or use Malthinkers Skull (Creating an average of 6+ nightfalls) you actually start to get quite a lot of value out of his addons. Dredge is one of the most underrated Killers right now, and he is aging exceptionally well, as the more time people learn about him, his seemingly weak at first addons and his ability to shut down loops, his oppression in nightfall, and many other things, I'd argue these addons are much better than first glance. Reminder, the teleport is as good as old blood favor. But it doesn't require a hit and works IN nightfall as well, which is a near instant teleport and locker exit. Definitely better than Demo's or Nemesis' addons.

I think the Iri Head add-on for huntress is easily in OP tier if its utilized by a good huntress who knows how to mind game and aim. Also being able to instantly down survivors from virtually a quarter of the map away is absolutely absurd.

Soldiers putee is supposed to be combined with the iri head so when you use your one hatchet your not at any disadvantage and your just a regular m1 killer

At 10:46 it is funny that the dwight reached stage three and was still unhooked.

for me, blight tag is way better than compound 33. i run both of these iri addons on blight many times, yet i got so much value out of blight tag(many times i just downed someone in first minute, coming at last token rush while they are repairing a gen). sometimes you also catch a survivor while randomly roaming with ur rushes, and you just catch them offguard while having your last 1-2 charges so its a free instadown.

Matchbox is actually really strong now. You force Survivors into a lose lose scenario. The biggest counter to Nurse is holding forward while she recharges because she moves slower than Survivors. This Add-on completely negates that counterplay because she can now catch up easily, forcing Survivors to loop and once they are at a loop, you just blink and hit them. Pair this with Jenners and you have a 110 % 3 blink Nurse at loops. Really underrated Add-on but requires a different playstyle.

did anyone else notice the 12 hooks with one survivor alive in the bubba clip???

Are we gonna talk about how he mange to hook 13 times in the bubba match?

this footage at the beging is from the all adepts ranked

I think that the add on that gives the most benefit to us definitely sadako it helps her out so much and I'm currently on a 68 streak where I kill all 4 survivors mainly because of it😂

The 4.4 1 blink nurse add on is increadibly good for people bad with nurse. I can actually regularly get 3-4k with that add on where im lucky to get 1 without it

i wonder which Iridescent combo would be OP with some of them being spread out across the 5 levels

Idea: an updated version of 'one perk choice for every killer' or 'ranking survivors based on their teachables'

I think near all can agree Pyrmid head needs a add on rework but leave the current two that everyone uses

Silencing Cloth should definitely be a tier up. Having on-command Undetectable for 20 seconds can be absolutely insane. It basically allows Charlotte to become a stealth Killer without the drawbacks of having reduced movement speed or being unable to attack while Undetectable. I also think Trapper's iridescent add-ons should be switched in their placement as Bloody Coil will typically see more consistent usage. It forces Survivors to choose between remaining injured or leaving up traps that cut off certain loops.

Honestly I've found soldiers putty to be strangely effective most survivors won't expect you to suddenly move faster when missing your past hatchet and it causes them to make mistakes. I've found it good for finishing chases after I miss that last hatchet

The fact that almost half of all the iridescent addons are ranked as having minimal/no value says a lot about DBD’s balancing.

How is Trickster's Iridescent Photocard add on a Decent tier iri when all you have to do is land 4-5 blades and now the survivor is a one shot for 15 seconds, longer if you also use the ripper brace add on with it. If anything it should be in the Very Strong/Over powered tier with the amount of DC's you get alone from it lol

I personally think Mother Daughter ring is the best since tuft of hair is on a rather weak killer compared to spirit. I still understand and respect your picks however

I really wish that BHVR didn't feel the need to make one of every killer's iri addons some kind of really niche way to instadown. It's just a waste of one of the iri slots, and I hope they realise this at some point, and give some of them completely new effects

Remote Control for Oreo is only good with Tape Editing Deck

So personally as a nurse player I think the torn bookmark should’ve begin in the op tier considering that three blinks is almost uncounterable esp by a good nurse and even with a decent or mediocre it makes the experience much easier and the 30% increase is minimal really esp compared to the 50% it had before

I think Trapper's Iri Stone is way too high up. It's an okay add-on, but it's so inconsistent that sometimes it feels totally useless.

Iri brick is huge on jumpscares billy.

Did they fix bubba's carburetor tuning Guide?

Just noticed that you said on discord that you got adept bubba on first try. Is the gameplay shown in the vid that first try?

10:42 the Dwight died but was still saved, woah

You forgot, Fuming Mix Tape has , Killer, beats.

The Deathslinger should have gotten Soldier's Puttee since he has to reload frequently.
