Every Killer Adept Achievement Ranked Easiest to Hardest (Dead by Daylight) 

I'll be going to Germany on the 11th and so this is the last video for maybe up to a week. There will be shorts releasing still and a special video next week too whilst I'm there. If you want to keep up to date or interact you can join the Discord. I'm pretty active on there 😎 discord.gg/azhymovs

Dark Devotion, Corrupt Intervention, and Infectious Fright being part of Plague's basekit is crazy.

I think a lot of this depends on the skill of Survivors, perks the Survivors are using and the map. If Survivors are on comms then that'll just make it incredibly difficult

Dead by daylight is my favorite game and if it weren’t for you I would’ve never played it thank you

Really interesting to see your opinions! I’ve only adapted a few killers, but Pyramid Head was by far the hardest I’ve done, because his perks are hot garbage and because the game punishes you points and emblem wise for using cages.

I really respect the fact that you actually got the Adept for each killer and based the tier list on that instead of, let's say, the killer's powers and perks strenght. :D

I’ve had all the adepts back around dbds 2-3 year. Gotta admit pig and trapper back then were much harder but I managed to get ‘em all. And I feel like with the new adept challenge I have some sort of crown on my head.

As a person who was every achievement in the game, I approve of this video. Agree with pretty much every rating.

I love that survivor name at the top when you talk about Billy 6:29

Great video! And thank god you finally stopping the “OKAY BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” at the end

Congrats on the adepts! Great video!

Wesker was my easiest one, because superior anatomy synergizes extremely well with his power. I use it often and get a lot of value from it.

You should do a video like this one ranking every killer daily ritual involving their power. ( Ex: Hit 5 survivors with hatchets as huntress or down 4 survivors using lethal rush as blight) and rank them easiest to hardest to complete.

I got Trapper adept on my first try. Granted it was in an indoor map, but still. When you go up against survivors that aren’t in a party, Trapper can actually be very fun. I probably just got really lucky

My problem with adept Myers was that I have been killing survivors too quickly and always ended up with "ruthless killer" due to lack of points

I think it greatly depends on what time of day you’re playing. When I was doing my nemesis one it took 15+ games cause the players all seemed cracked. Yet with trapper and Freddy it was just the one game

your vids are fun to watch whilst playing dbd

I got Trapper Adept the first match I attempted it, which was also the first time I played Trapper at all. Meanwhile, it took me many matches to do the same with Pyramid Head, who I had a little practice with.

Honestly i think Furtive Chase idea could have such great utility with a rework Per example: When hooking the obsession you gain a token, for each token, following effects will take place during a chase 1 token: No heartbeat 2 tokens: No red stain 3 tokens: Straight up Undetectable 4 tokens: No Chase Music (And ofc the savior becomes the obsession)

Took me forever to get Oni's and Trappers adepts. I was always so close to getting them, like just a hair away from getting merciless but didn't get them due to people DCing early or killing themselves on first hook. Finally got them both on RPD a few months back.

Thank you for the content our benevolent king

The killers that I found hardest to get adepts for were the ones with heavy momentum-based powers (Trapper, Plague, Pig, Oni, Hag). This is because, prior to the condition change, it made it almost impossible to get gold or iri gatekeeper emblems on them since they benefit from the late-game and lose gens fast early.

It’s funny you posted this I just finished all the Adepts for killers most irritating for me was huntress. Everyone else was a breeze.

What a good video to try to complete those adepts and see there's some bug that is for some reason just doesn't allow you to get your achievment unfortunately.

It's probably becuz I'm a doc main, but I had gotten my adept after 2-3 tries (and this was back before the change to obtaining merciless). You're right in the lack of information perks making it difficult, which is why the addons I brought were iri king and calm carter's notes. Calm was to offset/synergize with monitor, and iri king was to provide the remaining 3 madness effects to help with both locating and chasing survivors.

didn't do adept achievements yet but this vid did motivate me to do it i tried only one match which is trapper i suffered soo much since the map was "The game" i remember i got like 3k or som anyway great vid keep it up woho

Hi Azhymovs, I have a video idea for you. Could you please do a list on mori lengths of time? From the shortest mori to the longest. I'd be so grateful 🙏

I got my first Adept the other day. It was with Sadako, and it was the day I first got her too (like two or three games in). I wasn't even really trying to get it, I just played how I normally played (Got the Blood Web up to level 10, and just put her basic perks on because I thought they were so good).

Been getting every new killers adept within launch week since pinhead and have only recently started going back and getting the rest of them. Half way done so far, a majority of the games I lost were due to last survivor getting lucky with hatch

Getting adept plague can be very difficult I think personally due to the fact you are punished in the chaser category for “insta-downing” survivors that are infected and you also get punished in the malicious category whenever a survivor cleanses because the emblems look at it like well you let the survivors heal 9 times. Changing the requirement to simply a 4K is much better than having to get a merciless killer.

I have adepted all killers I have, I consider myself a low mmr player and I did all the adepts before the rework (all merciless 2 pips) so here are my thoughts: Trapper. Took me way longer that anticipated, on one hand you got strong survivors that just play really well, or you get potato survivors that don't do gens or rescue, meaning you get less points for less hooks. I tried the trapper bag and the add on that opens traps automatically, it is too strong so I opted for speed in setting. It worked on around 10th attempt. Wraith. You play ignoring the perks, focus on add ons that silence your bell or make it map wide, and for faster uncloaking, not too bad overall, 3 attempts. Hillbilly. My bane, you don't respect pallets, but nobody tries to hit you with a pallet with him, tinkerer is the only perk that helps. Focus on chainsaw faster charge. It took me more than 10 attempts to get him. Nurse. The last character I adepted, I have played her only once before I attempted the trophy. I can't play her even if my life depended on her. Still got her on second try. Why? Midwich and potato survivors. Used the add on to look where my blinks go, stridor helped in locating survivors behind cover, nurse calling on aura reading, and thanatophobia was a decent slowdown. Huntress. Took me way too long too. Some attempts were foiled because I killed too fast. Her perks are horrible, but her add ons will carry. Focus on faster wind up. 5 or more attempts. Hag. Easy peasy. Her perks were very nice back then, and her add ons were good. First try. Very few people know how to play and counter her. Demogorgon. Impossible to adept. It's add ons are something else... the perks are niche, but nice overall, very few dead hards, a passive slowdown that relies on knocking down survivors, if the trophy would have popped, I would saw around 5 tries. Deathslinger. Very hard for me, more than 10 tries. I am decent with him, so my mmr is quite high. I got the trophy after his rework/nerf. Perks are okay, add ons are the worst I have ever seen. Just focus on reload speed. Blight. Very easy. Strong killer with busted add ons, 2 attempts. Perks are not very useful actually. Twins. 2nd try, few people know her counters too. Her add ons are not good, focus on toy sword and information. Her perks cover you in slowdown, lethality and information, mediocre individually, bit you won't be completely helpless. Trickster. Very easy, second attempt too. Very good perks in slowdown and lethality. Don't remember his add ons, but will come in a clutch. Nemesis, 2nd try also. I did this before Eruption buff. Still back then it was a sleeper. Lethal pursuer was the main reason to play as him. The zombies may or not carry your run. I did however run add-ons to buff them. Artist. Great power, good add-ons, great perks. Just send the birds flying, keep your pentimento up at all times, don't tunnel, keep hooking people I'm those white hooks. Got her on 2 play ever. Dredge. My lord, my main, I could have gotten his adept on first play ever, but I confused his perks with the other free perk that came with him. Speaking of perks, dissolution may help here and there, but not very much. Septic Touch is straight bad. But darkness revealed is chef kiss on him, anyone nearby a locker will be revealed, just teleport to that locker and voila. Use always malthinkers skull in your attempts, the field recorder will also give you more nightfalls.

Trail of Torment is just fire on Pyramid Head. I usually pair it with Pop goes the weasel and, on some killers, Survelliance to max out the efficency for the time i spend on kicking gens

As Someone who has gotten all Adapts on Killer before the "4k = Merciless" Update: ~My 3 Hardest Killers to adapt were Plague, Bubba, & Wesker; otherwise I got the rest of the Killers in 1~3 games {Nurse took me about 5, but only After I used the Matchbox add-on}. Plague took me 18 games because Infection gave me issues with Emblems, So I M1 w/ her and Puked on Hook for Slow down; Bubba I just Couldn't figure out his chainsaw, so I used it on Pallets & Played him M1; Wesker I got right when he came out & his Power was bugged with Emblems, So I used the Pallet Breaking Add-on and M1 w/ him {was also at Iri4 Rank, making it harder too}.

I find it interesting that class based games like DBD, don’t starve and something else which I can’t remember where their starter characters as in Wilson and Trapper both started good but became worse as more characters were added and reworked while they stayed the same

Thankfully, I was able to get the achievement for adept Wraith on my first game. But I played Trapper adept style, and I did right the three unique perks, the 4k on survivors, both iridescent add-ons, but for some reason, I didn't get the achievement for the 4k adept style Trapper and I was so confused about what went wrong. But so far, I got up towards the Huntress.

I got Trapper's adept achievement first try by just sending myself to Rpd. It's actually that simple, use an rpd offering as survivors essentially cannot dodge most of the trap placements in this map.

hey i am the dude who asked about the cklicker skin for hag i wanna say a big thank you for the great content you make

You always do a great job on your videos! Don’t let anyone else tell you any different. Informative and exceptional content! Stay strong and be safe. 😊

Now lets have a survivor adept video I actually lost a shameful amount of games w/ nurse myers and i think slinger too. I feel u w/ billy too i suck. I got blights adept in 2, in midwich, basically never using my power

Now let's see the adept Survivor video!

I was on the same journey as you, trying to get the Adept achievement for every killer, and It's genuinenly surprising how different my personal tier list is from yours. Mostly because of the nurse - I've been struggling with her for several matches in a row. Dunno, maybe she was nerfed recently (never really played her before), but she gave me such a hard time because of the slow speed and overall clunkyness. Playing as the nurse gave me a strong feel that she's reliant on good perks and that's how you actually get better at her. Every other killer was quite easy. I'd say this trophy and your video ensured me that DbD is mostly based on luck: what perks and items your opponents use and whether they're SWF or not. On weekends 1 out of 4 matches is against sweaty SWF with toolboxes, flashlights, Dead Hard, Adrenaline, Kindred and etc.

I remember doing plague back in the days before 4K = merciless… you HAD to play her as an m1 because her power destroys your chase grading 😢

I’m a knight main so I’m very reliant on the no where to hide perk cuz it gives me info 4:21

I would love to see a video on the hardest overall achievements to get.

I can say that as I decided to get adept with every killer before picking a favorite, my experience was pretty chill, I didn't knew you could use add-ons at the beginning of that, so I did half the killers without add-ons before knowing that, then when I learned you could, I still did them without add-ons to get a better idea of the base power, it was fun

Ive been watching this channel for a year and just now I didn't realize I was not subscribed 🤷, but now I am so it doesn't matter.

idk why but wraith, sadako, huntress and TRAPPER(?) i did in one game. huntress was after 50 total hours in the game, but the rest were very recent (150 killer hours total)

It's also worth noting that killer mmr is kinda separate, so if you do it with a challenging killer you never use, it might still be easy because you'll also be going up against lower skill survivors than you would using a killer you play often.

I got my huntress one actually pretty easy but they also kinda threw in the match I was doing so it was kinda a hollow win, but I didn’t complain considering I got it first try. And territorial imperative actually gave me value funny enough

I actually did Trapper in one game one the biggest map back then. It was RPD

Can you rank killer walk animations? There's a great degree of subjectivity but I feel some highlights are Sadako and Nurse. However, there's plenty uninspired ones like Doctor, ghostface, huntress etc. Two that I have a soft spot for are Clown and Trapper. I love Trapper's motivated walk and I think Clown's long strides is honestly kind of scary. I find Knights galloping funny :)

I'm so glad I got all the older killers' adepts a long time ago. Most before they switched to SBMMR, because nowadays it'd be far more trouble than it's worth. The biggest pain to adept hunt for was Hag... I had no interest in Hag for the longest time but decided to get her just to say I got everyone's. Every match her hexes would go down in seconds and I'd be at a huge disadvantage. Then... Oddly enough, I get a match set at RCPD and... shockingly I pull it off. Not a single hex was cleansed and with that I was finally able to get the 4k Merciless killer done. Other than that, what I absolutely HATE about adept challenges is that if anyone DCs you're screwed out of the Merciless no matter how good you do beyond that.

Anyone else count the characters in you head when he goes through the list? The ending of this video really made it more fun today

I did all the adepts a little while ago, back when wesker came out i think, and plague was so cursed for me. I played dozens of games, with so many 4ks but just could never secure the double pip. The old system was so broken, in the worst way.

I think pinhead just decided to inflict suffering on you because I got his really easily. His perks and addons are really good.

I remember getting adept demo when he came out, rip stranger things chapter and my achievement :(

I agree with clown being the hardest but myers was really hard for me. I'm not brilliant with him anyways but his perks kinda counter his play style. Hes power rewards one hit downs and slugs while stbfl and pwyf reward a hit and run tactic. I ended up going jumpscare myers on lerys to get the achievement

I think the biggest thing that makes Doctor's adept hard is Monitor actually HURTING your big static blast because it's based on your terror radius. Since your terror radius is smaller unless you are in chase you can't just blast normally to find people as well as blast for a bit of slowdown since survivors will have to snap out of it.

I got dredge adept the day I bought his dlc. He got added to be my main killer along with demogorgon

just a heads up, I got Sadako's adept achievement with condemning 3/4 of the survivors. I'm pretty sure you need like 7 hooks or something, and the condemns each counted as 1

tbh, the one that i struggled the most were with PH and Huntress(my main), mostly because her perks are trash and i got good teams against her, so yeah it was a struggle, and pyramid was because i don't play him a lot thus it was a struggle to get it

I started playing 2 weeks ago and the only killer I've used is trapper I must say I do well and usually get 3 or 4 kills and I really enjoy playing him

I also did all the adapts and I remember having to do 8 games with Plague because her event scores where still bugged. So you were almost not able to get any point for the category that regards killer power. Made me lose my shit because I didn't know what I was doing wrong Also when I started, I remember thinking you weren't allowed to use addons. So to keep it consistent, I did all of them without addons. Which is a little challenge I made for myself

I try to get the Adepts during the first week of a Killer being out, since most players in the ranks I hang about don't quite know how to deal with them yet, it's usually first game with a new killer, no Perks, next lot Adept till I get it...

i did doctor today and while my mmr (especially on doctor) is still pretty bad, i had a survivor bring in gideon which made it really easy lol.

Honestly playing adepts make me learn the killers I’m reliant on perks for

The feng you see in the deathslinger clip is me lol I got proxy camped ☹️

Yeah, I'm stuck on Pig, Cannibal, and Clown right now. Though, to be fair, a few days ago I technically DID get it on pig and clown, but it just didn't count because of the current glitch, which really sucks. :((

I’ve done a couple adepts, and the easiest so far was clown (I didn’t do blight or nurse). Redhead’s finger, Midwich - GGWP BYE. You really should have used map offerings, would help a lot!

Pinhead with engeners fang on lerys is a free adept . Got it first try doing that add on and map offering and i barely play him

I have a quite reliable way for adepts. I just pump BP into a new released killer until at least level 15 and just run the 3 base perks until I get the adept. Your mmr is not that high, because the killer is new and also you don't get used to meta perks. Works like a charm for me. I rarely got a killer that I need more than 3 trys.

I love dbd and watching your vids made me keep at it I was fed up with this games community I was tired of getting slugged every game I’m still angry at behavior for their crappy hit boxes makes going across pallets a gamble or going through a window a gamble I’m on the other side of the room and I go down because the killer somehow hit me I wound up quitting survivor because once I hit iri all my team mates were idiots

I got adept trapper on my first attempt after playing him for around 5 or 10 matches. I didnt even have all his perks purple yet

I am truly surprised to see Bubba in midly tier since I have yet to get him cause I struggle and even oh tofu made 10 videos attempting it

Have a question according to video, how adepts are woking now, you need to still get +2 pips or 4 iridescent grades, or 4k condition is working? Because I've done every condition and I didnt got adepts

I've only Adepted half of the killers and I don't remember how challenging I thought some were but I know for sure my most challenging one was the Nurse! on the other hand, my easiest was the Spirit because I got it the first time I even tried playing as her!

I got all of the adepts (except for Demo :c) a couple months ago before it was made easier to just get a 4k. What made it slightly more challenging for me was I went for most adepts without ever having actually played the killer. As such some of my more difficult adepts were Ghostface, Oni, and Hillbilly. Surprisingly I got Freddy, Clown, and Sadako on my first try and on bad maps too (Eyrie, old RPD, and Ormond respectively). Cool to see your take on all of them and congrats on finishing them!

It's crazy that Clown is so high. I started with Clown last June and first game I could have gotten a 4k if I didn't let the last survivor go, mostly because I was surprised that I had a good beginner's luck and didn't cared if the last survivor had hatch or not. With that said, I agree, he used to have amazing perks before the overhaul, Pop is only good with high mobile killers, and even then has to compete with other perks that aren't gen related. Coulrophobia is just a meme with Doctor like Huntress Lullaby, and while Bamboozle is still pretty good, not too many killers are without anti loop of some sort. Not saying his perks need a buff, but Clown's perks have been powercrept or just aren't useful. People should still give him a try if you are starting out as he is quite easy to pilot, plus you can do some tricks with him, but I wouldn't recommend him if you are looking to unlock good teachables. At this point Trapper has better perks thanks to Brutal Strength and Agitation, both have their uses with any killer really even if there's better perks, but he would be one of the killer to start since he forces you to learn the maps with his bear traps and his two teachables have decent applications. You probably won't play him again so you might as well get him prestiged and then you can pass on him if you want to. Wraith would be another, however I feel it's best you get at least one other killer prestiged so that you can give him more perks to work with. Pop can actually work with Wraith as his cloak ability makes good use of the perk to get around more quickly, same with Bamboozle. It just really depends on the type of play style you want, plus since Wraith's perks are mostly bad, there should be no hurry in getting him past level 50. Fun to play, but really needs teachables to do very well.

The only reason I got adept Blight first try is because I suck so much at him, and get SO thrashed, that when I tried it out, my MMR was extremely low so I got bad survivors.

For me, the first adept one I got was the doctor, and this was when i was just getting used to him.

As someone who is currently doing all adept the struggle is really, having problems with hag but I think it’s people I am trying to keep my hexes up cuz they find them in the first 3 seconds of a game. The other struggle is DCs

Not sure if things are easier now, but I just picked the game back up after years and did all adepts with only lvl 10 killers. Most my first game ever on them. The hardest for me was probably deathslinger. I personally feel matchmaking was just dreadful as even at iridescent 1 I dealt the survivors were potatos.

Out of all the Killers I've gotten adept on, Nemesis was the hardest. It took me... literally 8 hours of just playing Nemesis with the old Merciless system just to get it. Meanwhile I can tell you the one adept that made me the most angry and it was getting Artist's adept. On old Haddonfield. First try. I still harp about it to this day, but another memorable Killer adept that I got was Pyramid Head's adept, mostly done because I had a daily, and *sent myself to the Borgo.* Primarily because I figured that since the map was so red, it'd be hard for Survivors to see the trails of torment I left behind. And I wasn't wrong!

yeah the characters you have played often are really in a diffrent spot than others you play less. All though i hadnt played him in a bit, Freddy games where hell yesterday for me. Maybe it was just yesterday so many tryhards, those days exist where everyone sweats more than usual but also i feel my MMR generally has increased to a point where its too hard. So i will try to change my gameplay accordingly, maybe try out some other perk combos or i loose another 10 games today and hopefully my MMR drops again XD So i cant even be bothered about adept when even playing "normal" games are a challenge right now, maybe in the far future when im a 4000 hours DBD veteran. Currently sit at 1200 hours. (edit: I think i have alredy a few adepts because there are some in tome challenges, Wraith for sure but that was because it was in a tome challenge too XD and also i was at low mmr back then.)

Was this after the change to adept? I'd like to see your thoughts on difficulty based on the old adept. Hag for example becomes harder because Devour ruins chase points.

Another great video from the GOAT (Also first)

Adept Shape was absolutely a nightmare.

Wesker I had a bit of issue with becuaee I kept getting survivors who would dc wouldn’t give me long chases, they all weren’t very good and not coordinated at all

I got a 4K, 4 Iri emblems on frikking Ormond with Wraith and the achiev didn't trigger. I just took screenshots and decided I got it. Never trying it again. Same thing with Cenobite, but at least it's not a miserable experience, so I might try again.

Hag I had a terrible time with because either I'd win too fast (devour, survivors giving up, etc) or there'd be at least one person with a flashlight who knew how to use it against the hag so I never got to use my power,

Idk what happened or if I got super lucky, but I went for many of my missing adepts since November and got them all one try. Even on killers that I suck with like Blight and Huntress.

I think a better way to measure this is by setting a number of games, and tell how many of them you won. different maps, perhaps same add-ons. the idea is: out of 5 games, how many of them would I have gotten the achievement?. if you win 5 of them, then it's easy. if you win none, then it's really hard. but I don't ever play killer so idk xD

Something to keep in mind for adepts is that their difficulty will vary between everyone. Due to MMR the more that you play a killer the harder the adept is in a lot of cases. Any killer that i had a lot of experience on had a REALLY difficult adept, even though i was used to the power, the skill of the survivors is dramatically higher on average the more you have played the killer. This is definitely something to keep in mind when ranking adept difficulty by number of games and personal experiences. It's not to say all games will be brutal, but a larger majority of them will be, and I noticed you felt that on a few killers in your adepts as well!

Just got Adept Legion 1st try, but it was tough. 1 flashlight (TTV Feng to top that), 1 Saboteur, 1 Boil Over, 1 Deliverance and 3 Dead hard. I only won because I kinda slugged in the endgame and because they were bodyblocking. In other words, Mad Grit literally saved me I also got adept Trapper a while ago, but I don't remember how it went

I've got nemesis, cenobite, wraith, dr and deathslinger so far. Ceno was the hardest but he's also my main. I genuinely think I've got the others due to MMR meaning I'm playing people who aren't as good. Although Dr was against a swf streamer 😂

I keep hearing that Wraith is weak yet so many seem to panic when he uncloaks nearby. Same with Trapper. A decent trapper will leave traps in high traffic spots and ruin many a team.

I have a self-imposed challenge: when I play a new character, whether survivor or killer, I have to play them with their Adept perks until I get the achievement. This means that when it comes to killer Adepts, I go in with low MMR for that killer, but also zero experience with their power. I also got all my current Adept achievements before the change that made killer Adepts much easier (i.e. I did them when you had to get a double-pip rather than just a 4K). Most killers took five or fewer games to Adept, and I got Adept on the very first game with three killers: Oni, Blight, and Wesker. I also *would have* gotten Adept on the first game with Cenobite, but the DC bug that plagued his release robbed me. I'm not sure exactly how many killers I adepted on the second game, but I know Knight is one of them. The killers I found hardest to Adept were Nurse, Demogorgon, and Bubba, each of whom took upwards of ten attempts. With Nurse, that felt fair; she's a mechanically difficult killer whose power doesn't really mesh with my typical playstyle, so I was always going to struggle with her. Demogorgon also felt okay because while I struggled getting the Adept, I did feel like it was fun to play. Bubba, on the other hand... I *hated* trying to get Adept Bubba. His playstyle just does not appeal to me, and playing him over and over and over ended up feeling like a chore. Sorry, Bubba fans, I just can't.

1:12 nurse 1:20 spirit 1:30 blight 1:46 master mind/wesker 1:58 huntress 2:13 hag 2:36 artist 2:52 nemisis 3:09 plague 3:32 freddy/nightmare 3:54 legion (frank july...) 4:20 knight 4:41 dredge 5:07 executioner/pyramid head 5:47 ghost face (scrapped old name the ghost) 6:13 hillbilly 6:35 oni 7:08 pig/amanda young 7:36 trickster 8:03 sadako 8:33 twins 9:09 myers/shape 9:37 bubba/leather face (translation in spanish because why not bubba/cara de cuero) 10:05 deathslinger 10:28 wraith 10:49 demogorgon (got deleted isn't buyable in the game) 11:13 trapper 11:34 doctor 11:59 cenobite/pinhead this will be updated because my first adept was cenobite on 5 games and i was baby cenobite i buyed him and i killed 3 but i letted bill get the hatch then i didn't expect that i would get adept

Dredge's perks arent bad (specifically darkness revealed) but it's extremely map dependant

Funny, me and kyto are having the exact opposite problems. Clown, trapper and the rest of his challenges came easy to me but nurse has taken me over 13 games
