One Thing I Like & Dislike About Every DBD Survivor 

I dislike that Ash didn't come with evil Ash as a killer. I think an evil Ash knight skin would be pretty cool 😎

I think Cheryl looks frightened and timid in her lobby animations BECAUSE she has faced so much in the past. I think being taken into a strange, dangerous dimension and being forced to face death again is bound to bring out some unpleasant memories for her :/

Totally with you on Dwight’s inconsistencies. He’s made out to be kind of a loser/punching bag who fails at everything, not just in his lore, but with the way BHVR treats him too. They say “Dwight is a leader” and when we ask why they say “he just is, trust us bro”

Honestly Ash’s voice lines scare me because he breaks the 4th wall every once in awhile and it always gets me like “excuse me..oh wait lmao”

Been playing Cheryl(Alessa) since she came out and I totally agree that her animation is way to timid for being post SH3, if I recall she was pretty sick of everything after it all, though it could be post trauma that might be her reason for the animation "looking down and constantly needing to look around her" or maybe a bit of depression that she's lost in another hell after just getting out of one :3

I think with understanding how Zarina’s lore ends there were a few details you missed. The first was that she found Caleb’s old wrench in a gap on the wall of his old cell. This wrench was the last thing that Caleb held in his hands before stepping into the entity’s realm. Maybe with Zarina picking up Caleb’s old wrench that he left behind,she somehow summoned the entity. Which would be a cool theory that people can accidentally summon the entity by interacting with items that were special to the people that have already been taken. As for Zarina seeing visions of her dying father, this was a trick played by the entity to instill fear into Zarina, causing her to be “paralyzed” in fear and leaving her vulnerable to being taken by the entity, since the death of her father still haunts her after many years, which would make sense since the entity feeds off of people’s emotions. This happens shortly after she finds the Deathslinger’s old wrench which results in her being taken by the entity.

"Now I don't like that I very rarely see Quentin players, he doesn't get enough love." I know we may be rare, but as a Quentin main, I very much appreciate your, well, your appreciation of our presence! And yes, the campfire animation is definitely one of the best.

Ash makes me want for every survivor to have voicelines. Even if they're just on the lobby screen, it'd be a great way to give personality to these characters without the players having to go through the lore to find them. Also I stan Detective's Hunch and play Jeff and Yui semifrequently (when I'm not grinding challenges, adepts, or playing David, Felix, or Kate).

For Zarina’s lore, she found what is known as an Overlap or a weak point in the multiverse caused by the Entity pulling someone in. By interacting with the wrench, she caught the Entity’s attention and since the entity feeds on emotion, it shows people something that will make them emotional in order to prime them for the trials. It’s similar to Felix being lured into the fog by being shown an image of his father.

as a quentin main I'd like to highlight some other things that are great about him! 1. like with cheryl, the lore that was added to him both fits the movie and expands a bit on his character. in the movie, quentin is smart and quick on his feet. he does whatever is needed to survive and hes surprisingly smart for someone whose brain is slowly shutting down from lack of sleep. him coming up with that plan to make freddys habit of scratching along the walls against him was such a good idea and I think it fits him a lot. quentins anger and strong sense of justice is also very present here, and I think it was great that quentins temper was put in the spotlight bk I think that's a really interesting part of his character that isn't recognized much. he's so often characterized as this shy dorky twig of a man, when in actuality he's an athlete who is shy and dorky but also can gave a bad temper. the thing that brought him into the entity's realm was nothing freddy did, but rather quentin being so fucking enraged at him that it attracted the entity's attention 2. him being in the game has brought a lot of popularity to his character. i loved him in the movie, and I never even would've known of his existance if it weren't for dbd. I saw this scruffy little man that I thought looked really cool and bam now he's one of my favorite characters and I love him. noes 2010 is uh.... it's aight. but i only ever watch it for quentin lmao 3. the community of quentin mains is a strong one, we often refer to eachother as the council and do goofy shit with it and it's great. there's not many of us but I have gotten spared multiple times from killer quentin mains specifically because I was also one, and the few times I've seen another quentin in a lobby we are visibly excited to see eachother ingame. seeing another quentin for quentin mains is something special 4. this might be weird, but I think it's very nice that he's a csa survivor. you rarely see csa survivors in media, and when you do they're usually female. male csa survivors very much exist and it's alarmingly more common than you think. and as a csa survivor myself, it warms my heart to see my brothers represented the one thing I dislike though is that they couldn't get rights to kyle gallners face. quentins look and his face in the movie is one of my favorites things, I think its a perfect fit for his character. he seems to have a resting sad face, with his droopy eyes and slightly upturned eyebrows. his facial features are also very round and soft which, combined with his perpetually sad face, makes him very adorable to me. I really wish the ingame quentin was just as tiredly adorable as kyles portrayal in the movie

I am an avid Detective's Hunch user! The perk is really helpful for finding other gens or totems. I use it to find the totems, mainly when I have a boon that needs placing or a hex that needs cleansing. Plus information perks about the environment are so under utilized that it's a breath of fresh air being able to see my objectives laid out across the way. Paired with Open-Handed it's really handy! Especially in solo

Once had this match where I loaded into a full team of jeffs (me included) I've never felt so much strenght in numbers before, but when you see his majestic beard flowing in the wind to save you off of hook, and you triple that, now that is an experience (we all survived and the killer said that he is traumatized for life)

Seeing as you love blast mine so much, you'll be happy to know that it synergizes wonderfully with Haddie's perk "Residual Manifest." Combining them properly weaponizes blast mine instead of being mostly for laughs.

I love that everyone in the community seems to like Yui. She's my favourite character and it makes me happy seeing how the community loves her

Honestly personally I don’t like how neglected Haddie, Adam, Jeff and Zarina seem to be from Behavior, it disappoints me that no one really plays them or appreciates their characters :(

Stake out is useful when using hyperfocus, makes maintaining hyperfocus stakes easy. Also detectives hunch is arguably the best totem hunting perk. Tenacity works well with the power struggle and flip flop meme build. I think Tapp’s perks are underrated and all pretty fun or more useful than many people think they are

From what I know about Haddies white hair, it’s from her experiences with the “overlaps”. I remember it being said during the 6th year anniversary live stream but I’m not entirely sure.

I'm fascinated by Dwight's lore and how it doesn't really match his perks, and have done a lot of introspection about him since I've written about him. In my mind, the way Dwight acts in the realm could not only be due to his finding a different niche-it may also be that he is driven by guilt. He views himself as a failure and doesn't want his friends to let anyone down the way he let everyone down back in his homeworld. If he sees someone lacking or struggling, then he wants to push them to succeed, in order for them to not become what he views himself as. I just think about this dork a lot. Also, yes, Nea is definitely The Entity.

I recently had a match that was 4 Kate's, all four were very toxic and annoying Most matches I've played against toxic survivors have had at least one Kate and also Feng is quite common too

I'm a Jane Romero main and sweet baby jesus i just cant tell how many times tapp's D.Hunch helped me find hex totems and destroying noeds at end game. It is really really helpul especially that I also use Boons

My man’s only complaint about ace is his giga chad Face

As a solo Q usually,Tapp's perks are helpful, Detectives Hunch especially. Stake Out is useful if you can get a Great on your own,so it helps it your timing is off once or twice. Playing Yoichi,I am fully on your side about his jacket. I play his ugly sweater when I do play him,it makes him easier to sneak with. His perks aren't great,but I like being the healer support,so Empathic Connection for a win. To make playing each survivor unique to play,I run their own 3 perks,plus an additional as needed. Usually Desperate Measures,so You his other perks aren't all that good. Sorry for an essay.

Addressing it here. Bill is Leon’s grandpa in me and my friends lore. But is pretty much 99% canon. Oh and Cheryl is just Ashely graham

As a killer I use crows to track survivor movement. If a crow is arriving I know they were there not to long ago so I look for other crows going off. Good killers utilize that

As a yoichi main, I can agree And then another yoichi cosmetic you have a bright gray sweater Yea he needs more cosmetics, and less bright cosmetics

Regarding the Jake's Perks they all worked really well when it was 2016 that is. Since back then the game was played more stealthily and the Killers didn't have many Info perks so they would use Spies from the shadows which Calm Spirit countered. And Saboteur was WAY more valuable since if you sabotaged a hook back then, it wouldn't come back like it does today. As for Iron Will it was always a good pick.

In my experience as a killer, bunny fengs are generally toxic but pretty bad at the game, while neas are the most toxic but skilled ones... Neas scare me 😂

Bill doesn't have a lot of cosmetics because when Valve made the deal with BHVR they only allowed them to have cosmetics you can't buy with Auric Cells. Seeing how greedy BHVR is, it only makes sense that they wouldn't put too much ressources into it. Stake Out by itself is indeed pretty useless but it can very good if you combine it with some other perks like Hyperfocus or Fast Track.

You have convinced me to swap from a Felix main to a Quentin main. Look forward to seeing me in game ;)

My dislike for Bill is he's Loud AF when injured. I use Iron Will with no Exhaustion perks on him. I've said this before. Boons are the opposite of a Hex. High Risk, High Reward, and yet, Boons are Low Risk High Reward (mostly) as they can just set them back up. So, as you said Roberts, If you have your Hex deactivated via a Boon, snuffing it should reactivate the perk.

We need more outfits for Leon asap (his new RE4r no jacket and body armour design)

i think my favourite thing when it comes to dbd lore is when a survivor's and killer's lore tie in with each other. even small things like jeff having been commissioned to paint a mural for the legion are super nice details and i love to read about them! yun-jin being the trickster's manager is probably my favourite example of this. i just love it when things connect up like that! (oh, and also, as someone who mains nea on the rare occasion i play survivor, the neon cosmetics bother me too. they're SO COOL but completely counteract stealth and that's a little frustrating, because i want to wear cool neon colours but i also don't want to be a beacon for the killer while i'm urban evasion-ing around the map)

i play tapp a lot and use detectives hunch in a lot of my builds regardless of the survivor I'm playing, it's such a useful perk because it gives you so much information! especially if you don't know the map very well or if you pair it with another perk that uses totems to activate it it's great because it makes it so easy to find them

As a Yui main, I absolutely lose my mind when I see other Yui's, especially when I can tell they are main (level outfit, ect.) And they also seem excited too! I met a Yui once on Badham and I died and I spectated her she was looking down at the hook where I died. I love Yui mains with my whole heart ❤

Just found your channel, love your insights! Easy sub

My favorite thing about yoichi is his cosmetics, it makes you more noticeable and I like it when survivor is hard (which is why I use no mither). Also his perks are pretty good for looping and healing, empathetic connection can even help the other survivors find the gates (which I’ve done before)

Fun fact: Adam players are the best of the best, they can do pretty much everything on their own without ever using any meta or broken perks. They are always doing gens, looping, safe unhooking, healing, protecting, pallet saving and many other acts in the same game. Every Adam, no matter the MMR, will have 25-40k blood points in end game. I cannot resolve myself to kill them, and it's hard to choose whether I chase them or chase their teammates, cause I know they don't wanna see their team get killed. It's too much pressure on my heart.

I love your shirt, man! 🔥 And how could those people play as Rebecca in a toxic way?? I won't allow this to happen! XD 23:24 is killing me HAHAHA

i'm a laurie main who uses steak out and the reason why i use it is to pair it with fast track. I can sometimes get 4% done on a gen instantly after getting a great skill check. Also, hopefully we can get an old laurie cosmetic now that behavior is teamed up with blumhouse

For tapps perks they feel like background/ tag team perks ie you kinda gotta pair it with something else, flip flop tenacity, hyper focus and stake out. Then detectives hunch is for map users

3:20 Hey hey, I’m still here, using Iron Will Calm Spirit in my everyday basis on DBD. Cheryl Main here. Never getting rid of those two perks

I don't like that Bill didn't come with a left 4 dead killer. I want a witch or tank in this game

As someone who LOVES Stake Out, it's a combo perk. I can run it with something like Hyperfocus and get crazy progression with with to 4 guaranteed Great checks. I can run it on a stealth build and make up for the fact that I'm hiding whenever a killer is nearby. It's good with This is Not Happening, it's good with Spine Chill, and so on. One of my favorite perks, but of course I would concede it's an acquired taste. Maybe it just isn't for you or someone who can consistently hit Great checks, but I love to play it safe and err on the side of caution. I'm the opposite of a cheeky flashlight clicking rescuer. I'm a team player, but a cautious one.

I also love Claudette because she is such a sweetie and kind person. And for some reason, I can't help but adore those p3 blendettes hiding in bushes cuz they're so ADORABLE!! If any other character does it I'll get tilted tho.. but not my sweet Claudie

Sorry to comment again, but I have to share! I think Tapp’s perks are underrated. They’re usually used in tandem with other perks, but they’re not bad on their own either. My best friend runs Tenacity without any other perks to supplement it (like Unbreakable, Soul Guard, etc) and it drives me nuts how often they get value just out of being a fast slug. I watched them crawl all the way across Temple of Purgation to the hatch at shack, and completely lose a Sadako after they took a protection hit for me so they were able to crawl out. It’s the kind of perk that people don’t see as valuable unless you run it with other things, but it’s still good on its own, contrary to popular belief. All of Tapp’s perks are like that!

As a Jeff main, it’s weird to see how many killers like to see that we exist lol, but happy that we make other people’s day

I use Stakeout paired with Hyperfocus because it helps me get those stacks if I miss great skill checks while on gens or healing. So it’s more of a pair up perk

I love using Stake Out myself, and the reason for that is because I run it in combination with Hyperfocus. Good skill checks are converted to Great skill checks, which empower Hyperfocus. It makes for a very strong Gen Progression Build that I am fond of.

I’m going to be honest I hate all survivors lol😂 even when I play as them I just hate them, also on jake on the crows actually paying attention to where crows fly off or get spooked is great info

Detective's Hunch is pretty good, especially when running a map item. It helps in indoor maps, and when one hasn't yet learned all gen/totem/chest location possibilities. But once no longer needing those... not as strong.

Tapp main. Stake out is somewhat niche but can be used effectively with Hyperfocus (Rebecca perk, rewards great skill check streaks). Tenacity is pretty useless lol and Detectives Hunch can be used well if you time it right.

I use a Stake Out, Deja vu, Prove Thy Self, and Fast Track/Made For This build and i can say that Stake Out can come in really handy sometimes, especially with the 6% gen speed Deja Vu provides :)

Stakeout+ hyper focus and fog wise and perks like that go craaazy

I agree with you on Chris Redfield outfit for Felix, however, not many people point out that Felix is wearing Chris Redfields BSAA outfit from part 5 and Chris is wearing his og STARS outfit from part 1. i never understood it but neat nonetheless.

When it comes to tapp I actually think his perks are really good, Detectives hunch is just a really good perk when it comes to gems and finding hex totems Tenacity is one of my favorite cause I run a wiggle build(which I think should get a buff) it actually works well with flip flop and unbreakable especially for sluggers Stakeout can really be good if you combine it with hyper focus ( gives you the ultra value on gens)

About tapp u can do crazy gen rushes with stake out in combination with potential energy, hyperfocus , fogwise so i rly like stake out

I almost always use Stake Out. I think the 1% does matter in the long run, since this is a game about time management, plus you get more skill checks when you hit a great skill check than a normal one, meaning it's somewhat a farming perk imo. It's also pretty much a visual terror radius indicator as long as you don't have 4 stacks and it applies to healing too, always giving a huge jump there. Of course you can pair it with other perks too which make this perk even stronger

I definitely use Detectives Hunch on almost every one of my builds- not even just boon builds. It’s especially useful on Grim Pantry and Autohaven.

stakeout user here. by itself its a meh perk but its useful for archive challenges that require great skill checks. its real strength comes into play when combined with other perks like hyperfocus and fog wise

Tapp has the most underrated perks ever if you pair them with something else. Detectives hunch goes good with a boon or residual manifest and helps against a 3 gen. Tenacity is good with a wiggle off or power struggle flip flop build and his third perk goes great with hyper focus.

I dont play tapp but i do use hyperfocus/stakeout/Fasttrack as a combo when playing surv and its really fun getting gens done faster because of it. Stakeout is EXTREMELY Situational though

0:40 I don't think that's a mistake by the writing team, or anything. I think that's just what being a leader truly is, it's being the one who isn't afraid to make the mistakes so that they can learn the right way to go about certain things. If anything, kudos to them for realizing this.

Tenacity paired with Unbreakable and/or No Mither is actually a super good build. I don't use it a lot because personally, I don't care for No Mither (I suck at looping and getting away from the killer, so I always get downed super easily with it on) but for people who are good at looping and play altruistically, Tenacity paired with Unbreakable and/or No Mither is a fun and useful build. I almost always run Detective's Hunch, as well, because doing gens is typically my main objective, so knowing where to go next is always extremely useful, because not only does it show you uncompleted generators around the map, it also shows you chests and totems/hexes, which is extremely useful if the killer brings a hex totem; if you have Detective's Hunch, you can almost always find the hex totems and cleanse them very quickly. I use Circle of Healing a lot, as well, but it's being nerfed into the abyss pretty soon, which I am unhappy about, so I really hope the devs will buff Circle of Healing again in the future. I also use Adrenaline, Boil Over, Windows of Opportunity, Lithe, Off the Record, Deja Vu, Borrowed Time and Unbreakable quite a bit. I almost never use Decisive Strike, Dead Hard or We're Gonna Live Forever, but I occasionally do, and if I'm doing custom matches with my friends (which are a lot of fun, by the way), I'll use Left Behind so I can screw my friends over in the match and escape through Hatch at the last minute, which is horrible to do in public matches, but hilarious to do among friends. I think good starter perks for beginning players are Adrenaline, Technician, Urban Evasion and Inner Healing or Sprint Burst. I really love discussing perks within Dead by Daylight, possibly more than I love discussing lore, which is a pretty high bar, considering it's pretty much all I talk about to anyone who will listen to me. So, thank you ARoberts for making these videos, I really enjoy watching them, and thank you to everyone in the comments who appreciates Dead by Daylight and all the effort put into making it an enjoyable game. Here's to hoping this great game's fanbase will never disappear, despite whatever the developers decide to do with it. Hope everyone and their family had a great Easter.

consistently amazed by your video quality ❤ keep going dude

Stake out works to perks that require a great skill checks. It does synergy with some other perks… some better than others

hello, stake out user here! stake out has been a go to filler perk for me! for the most part it's pretty dependable for speeding up healing and helping with gens, especially paired with fast track!

Calm spirit is a counter against the killer crow perk, I mainly use it.

I still run DS regularly and get plenty of value. Just gotta pair it with Lithe and be intentional about where you get downed. I’ve found that most of the time (unless you’re getting hard tunneled), killers will leave you once you Lithe away cause they’re wasting time.

My biggest like about this video: the presentation, the uniqueness of likes/dislikes, and the B-roll in the background!! My biggest dislike: There isn’t one. Keep up the fantastic work

Not a Tapp main but I actually use Tenacity quite a bit in my "Power Struggle Repercussions" builds!

Stake Out works well with Hyperfocus and is typically used with gen focused builds

Well, stake out is nice to pair with other perks like Hyperfocus. Hyperfocusing a gen with 6 stacks thanks to stake out is pretty nice in tight situations in-game.

I use stakeout religiously, as a hard of hearing player i dont want to have something useless in my build like spine chill. Stake out has saved my ass multiple times when i was using it as a sort of spinechill, sure the value caps at 4 which means i cant use it as such anymore but at that point i have plenty to use on gens. My build is always generator focused so having that great skillcheck together with fast track does give me a sense that i can actually be useful, with or without my hearing.

Quentins are adorable to me in dbd. I'm biased toward some survivors, so those are the ones I usually let go if they haven't escaped already.

Stake out feels useless by itself, but paired with a perk that rewards great skill checks, it's nice.

Tapp main: Steak out is actually a good perk but not as effective as the other perks we have now that boost gen speed but however it's still very good. It can act as a micro version of spine chill while also decreases time spent on something. When healing a teammate it's very good as you can clearly see a jump in progression and that also goes for gens. 1% might not seem that much having bunch of tokens stacked up it's really good. Every second counts on DBD and having faster progression means you have more time to spend on stuff that isn't gen work because u already got that boost of progression from steak out. Detective hunch is only good for new players and totem haunting. it was mainly used in the past to remove NOED before activation but now it's just a guide. Tenacity is a lovely perk and prob the best one in tapp kit. On it self it's sort of useless but if a teammate distracts a killer for even 3 seconds you can make so much distance with the perk that if the killer doesn't know that you have tenacity they wouldn't think that you have crawled that far. Paired with adrenaline it's absolutely game changing for you're self. If a killer decides to slug you for the 4k and chases the other survivor, you can easily crawl somewhere near the exit gate and camp their until the killer shuts hatch. when hatch is shut you can get up from adrenaline and escape through exit gate hopefully. It's an amazing perk and can be argued that it can be better than unbreakable that is only if you have teammates.

As someone who plays Jeff, I also wish more people played Jeff. I really like Jeff as a character: he's a wholesome metalhead who loves art and animals. I feel like if he were a real person, we would get along well. We could bond over favorite albums and pet pictures. I also very much agree on Jonah's lore being a mess. BHVR severely overestimated their ability to handle serious real-world topics with grace on the Portrait of a Murder chapter.

i see thalita and renato often. I wouldn’t worry if i were you, they seem to be well liked among the playerbase.

9:40 I find it funny how you're right but she basically beat a stereotypical trope by using ANOTHER stereotypical trope with out making it offensive

I use crows quite often as survivors don’t pay much attention to them

Commenting as I watch: -Stake out can be great in gen-oriented builds, like with hyperfocus, for example. By itself, I just enjoy the extra bit of BP that the great skillchecks give. It's nice to earn a bit more without having to find teammates to do gens with when using prove thyself (and splitting up to do gens is the most efficient and effective way to repair, regardless of it being slower repair progression per gen.) -I don't think you'll be seeing a whole lot of boons after tomorrow, so the comment about balancing them in a way that makes the survivors choose between cleansing a hex or booning it could become a non-issue. -What I've come to believe after hearing from many different Haddie enthusiasts is that her white streak probably came about after her first traumatic experience because of her connection to the Ravages/the Overlap, and possibly the Rift as well. This was the first thing that happened to her that signified that she wasn't normal and had supernatural connections. I feel like future (minor) tome pieces could have the potential to explain it better. -As for seeing less of Renato and Thalita after their initial release, I think this is mostly due to the lack of cosmetics they have at the moment. Not a lot of potential for mixing and matching right now, so I can see more people picking them back up once they get more cosmetics (like me! super excited for their new tome cosmetics!)

Ooof that's the only outfit I use on Felix from it been the only thing I like on Felix (everything else to me just looks strange on him it's probably from changing from Leon to Felix to make him my survivor main) Though it's true Felix does do a better Chris then Chris does which is just sad I bearly see any Felix's sometimes it just feels like I'm the only one to play him even though I know there rare to see sometimes

As a bill main i can say you are completely correct about us, we do everything to save our team mates not just because bill would do that but because love helping people!

Deliverance on 2nd hook state would make it easily the best perk in the game

Zarina is my new main since around February this year solely because she's so rare and because I also really like her as a character and her general design. Before, since I started playing DBD in late 2017, it's been Kate. I still play Kate from time to time but mostly Zarina nowadays.

i always run spies of the shadows since im not a killer main i dont have any of them really leveled aside from hag bc she was my first main.

I use Tenacity a lot. It's a fun perk and it punishes killers for slugging.

One of Ada’s dress cosmetics is from the original re4

As a cowgirl Rebecca player I can definitely say we can be pretty toxic

I’m glad the Meg story had a happy ending. We’ve all been there

I'm a Kate main and I feel like Kate gets hated on alot so I'm happy to hear someone who loves her as much as I do!

Down with you on almost everything. I really liked the look of Renato until they released him. how can you do a beach skin for him and get rid of all that hair. sullied the character for me now.

Stake out is really good paired with hyper focus

stakeout true's beauty comes from comboing with great skill check perks

Yun-jins jacket is fireeee i want it

Great video, man! You got the talent and charisma to get very far as a content creator. New sub for sure.

i dislike Adams Deliverence Curse, you will always get chased first with it .. :D

me, as a yui main, thank you for the love :)

Good vid as usual. Stakeout makes Fogwise more valuable if you suck at skillchecks like me. Jill is the greatest!

As a Cheryl and Rebecca main I can confirm these are all accurate, i am not biased. P.S and yeah as a silent hill 3 fan the animation is a bit strange for the character but eh never bothered me too much
