Dead by Daylight News

DBD permanently slashes prices of some of its original characters

Dead by Daylight is a game filled with big-name horror licenses, including the Alien from Alien, Chucky from Child's Play, Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Sadako from The Ring. There's plenty more too, as well as a few licenses from outside horror such as Lara Croft and Dungeons and Dragons. Where DBD excels, however, is in its original characters, and several are getting a permanent price reduction.

DBD DnD killer proves less popular than previous two characters

Dungeons and Dragons and Dead by Daylight could be considered an odd mix, with one being a world of elves, goblins, orcs, and high adventure and the other being a grim nightmare of twisted realities, terrifying monsters, and predatory murderers. There's plenty of horror to be found in DnD, however, so it makes sense that undead lich Vecna could make the journey into the fog to find new prey in the Entity's realm. That said, it looks like this killer may have struggled to find a fanbase.

Stats | September 2024

Poor misguided wanderers may have come face to face with The Lich in his debut month. We gathered data on how often each of his four Powers are used in an average match.

Let’s roll! We also pulled data on the average results of dice rolls when facing The Lich. Are you luckier than this, or have you become very familiar with mimics?

If it glows, it goes. We tracked down how often totems are cleansed and blessed, as well as which maps see the most and least cleansing.
Note: Hex and Boon data only includes matches where the appropriate Perk type was used.

Until next time…
