8 Perks that went from Zero to Hero in Dead by Daylight History!

[@AZHYMOVS]

Ignore my bad killer gameplay, I'm just starting to play more again : ) Join the Discord: discord.gg/RR4UbAvZ4K

[@mazm8536]

Same, I’ve taken a brake and the reason for that is the time coming up, as an artist main and a ghostface enjoyer as well as wanting more skins for yui, this is the perfect tome

[@Wuntoothrea]

I've stopped altogether, I only came back because of Resident Evil

[@KTTstudios]

@@mazm8536 playing ghost face is tough these days, good for you bro

[@helloperson9445]

I just came back because it was 60% off, and I have the same issue

[@georgialopez7717]

I personally think Alert is the best example of this. When it first came out, it had both a cooldown and a range limit so it wasn't much. Now, it's one of the most overlooked aura perks in the entire game. It, Empathy, and Blood Pact are my three go-to favorites, Azhy. 😊

[@AZHYMOVS]

Blood Pact is such a fun perk - I totally agree on Alert too, very underrated

[@youknowwhoitis.itsmyname4746]

Outrunning spirit 🥰

[@Serial_Designation_Number_N]

My favorite combo is bond and open handed. It tells me where everyone is for healing either one of us, gen work, knowing whos getting chased and where, its a really good combo

[@zielonekko]

@@Serial_Designation_Number_N aftercare but 2 perk slots

[@Serial_Designation_Number_N]

@@zielonekko much more convenient than aftercare though because i lose it when i get hit. I also need to unhook everybody to get the same value. Aftercare requires sadge hiding gameplay

[@jadenknott]

11:32 don't forget that killers were pretty damn pissed off at this change because keys could still be used at 0 charges at the time of the change, it was only later on where keys were changed to not work at 0 charges, and ultimately the hatch rework happened which killed keys

[@taluca8474]

You forgot about Surge, originally it had a cooldown for every time you down someone and destroy a gen in your radius. But since they removed the cooldown, Surge has been a good perk for Killers that can get to one place fairly quick

[@dizzylilthing]

Surge on Plague makes me feel so oppressive,

[@numnaut1314]

Umm actually it's called Jolt now get it right 🤓. Nah Surge/Jolt is a good perk.

[@brais5001]

to M1 killers its simply the*all in case right choice*specially because you can concentrate in chase and forget a little more the gens,is prety balance also,the only think is his low sinergy to others perks,but have enough

[@lukejones9313]

if anyone wants a good tip for when using WGLF, run For The People as well. if another survivor is downed close enough to you, after activating WGLF, you can insta heal them AND give them the Endurance effect. this is helpful in cases like if the killer downs the survivor and then goes to break a pallet or damage a generator, allowing the survivor to get back up and make distance. (it’s also something the killer probably won’t be expecting)

[@rolluponyostreet]

personally i think lethal pursuer, because like even before the 6.1.0 buff, it still actually went considerably well with ever killer, some actually super benefited from it even more. like ghostface, and myers use it amazingly. and plus before it got buffed before, it only read auras for 5/6/7, then buffed to 7/8/9. but then the 6.1.0 patch made it even greater. so definitely one of the zero to hero perks.

[@Draco-9158]

Lethal Pursuer was good when it released, but it wasn't as good as it is now. Its main issue was only showing auras for a short time and turning off completely within 10 seconds of the match starting as opposed to Corrupt Intervention having a guaranteed 2 minute effect that was only recently nerfed to turn off if you downed someone. But both of them are still perfectly useful and functional perks on basically every killer

[@rossmallo]

Lethal Pursuer is even better in one fringe case - You know how THE BOX spawns away from both Pinhead and the Survivors? Use LP, check where everyone is, and go AWAY from them. You'll find the box 90% of the time and have the Chain Hunts up immediately.

[@rolluponyostreet]

@@rossmallo that’s exactly one of the prime examples of where the perk comes in amazingly. i actually use lethal on pinhead all the time and find the box like 99% of the time

[@BunnychanFarabee]

Lethal Pursuer got yet another buff in the form of Nowhere To Hide this patch. With just those two perks, you get an unprecedented 24 meters of aura reading around your killer for an absolutely ridiculous 7 seconds every time you kick a gen. This is already an insane combo, but throw in two meta perks (CoB/Eruption) that ALREADY encourage you to kick gens? Well, you now have a build that works on *every* killer.

[@A9m707]

Built to last was surprisingly buffed and it became one of my favorite perks to use.

[@BunnychanFarabee]

Built To Last, Streetwise, Stakeout and Hyperfocus with a beefy toolbox is one of my favorite builds, especially in solo queue where you can't account for your team being useful in any capacity.

[@Chordyceps]

I think Distortion had a really nice glow up too. The ability to gain more tokens was a simple change that did a ton for the perk. It went from a perk that no one ever used to a perk that I have seen people on the forums say it should be nerfed.

[@therpderp]

We're Gonna Live Forever literally always had the "flashlight and pallet saves grant tokens" aspect of it, it was just clarified in the perk's description.

[@masonsimmons8482]

"I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.” -No Mither, This is not happening, Rookie Spirit, Red Herring, Spies from the Shadows, Predator, Territorial Imperative, etc

[@MarksterC]

P o i s e d

[@TheLethalDiva]

Spies from the Shadow isn't bad actually. Especially in this aura meta we're finding ourselves in now. Spies could be insanely good if they just added more range, then it would give you the general whereabouts of the survivor, just not the specifics. But that said even without the buff its not bad because almost no one runs the counter for it, Calm Spirit.

[@JeroldBoy0407]

Bro I was literally thinking about that line XD

[@augustuscurnow]

I think very ironically Red Herring is good BECAUSE it's bad. Nobody chooses it, and I have honestly never noticed it as a killer, so when you do use it, it works really well against any killer if you know how to place the trap.

[@BunnychanFarabee]

Rookie Spirit is actually a great counter to the gen-kick meta. You can combo it with Empathy and Fogwise to have perfect information on when to dodge an Eruption proc, and can ensure that Call of Brine is getting as little value as possible when not being chased.

[@chicken1453]

[@call_mewhatever]

its nice to learn more of dbd in the past

[@PartyNekromantDeniz]

Im excited seeing Boil Over in this list. There was a game in Red Forest Temple, i was up the stairs in the temple and the basement was also down there. I let me hit there and killer couldnt get me in the basement actually 3x in a row because he jumped down always. I made him waste so much time

[@RazzleRyan]

Be able to gain tokens/usage back on Distortion and Lucky Break have made them, in my experience and opinion, much more useful to run. I run Distortion in my regular build.

[@thespectresociety]

Franklin's and Windows are a must use every game for me. I'm terrible with learning window locations for loops and evasion so windows was a natural choice for me from the start. Franklin's? One word. Flashlights. That's it, that's why I run Franklin's demise every match but I'm glad it helps with other items too, less hassle that way. Loving the constant stream of dbd content mate

[@therecast4549]

Tbh, I think Fraklin's can more often than not turn out to be a waste of a perk slot since flashlight saves are not that hard to avoid in most situations (there are bunch of things you can do to avoid them such as: faking pickups, looking at walls, chasing the survivor trying to flashlight save, etc) and can potentially waste the survivors time, but then again like you said it also gets rid of other items survivors are carrying so it's not all that bad. I wish they didn't change it so that it doesn't "consume" the item and just depletes its charges. It was way more fun to use back then before this change lol

[@enderfailer4912]

Those perks did a pretty good job so far

[@divinemenethil3593]

nice.

[@Hydrodictyon]

Lethal Pursuer is a strong pretender for the list! It was never bad since it’s release, but a somewhat mediocre perk working mostly on killers who could traverse fast enough from the get-go. But since 6.1.0 Lethal feels like the daddy of all killer aura-read, it’s synergy both with perks like Floods of Rage and Barbecue and add-ons like Black Incense is wonderful, definitely best aura-read perk in the entire game now.

[@Shadowborg]

I once had two survivors on ironworks abusing boil over. They kept running up to the room at the top of the main building and getting downed. I wound up just bleeding them out.

At first boil over was a good indoor perk. If u could get down in a room the killer would struggle through the door. It hit me to alway use indoor map offerings when a killer couldn’t get through the door of killer shack to hook me in basement

[@subjectdelta3908]

The only perk I would add to this list would just be put in conjunction with windows of opportunity, zanshin tactics. The buffs were the same and they serve the same purpose with the only differences being the side they play on and the patch that buffed them. Otherwise, great video. Honest, I love watching your videos. One of the few lore-based channels which is really nice to see.

13:30 “I was angry with the hill for some reason”

[@ryanbennett2806]

IMO.... Overcharge was always good. I used to use it in place of Ruin and Pop as it always took people by surprise (As no one ran it). Doubling as a regression perk and an info perk. During the height of Pop's popularity people stopped anticipating it.

[@mrchenz1371]

All the adept zarinas must feel like absolute freakin chads right now 😂

[@HawooAwoo]

I'd actually argue that Franklin's Demise is bad to run on Pinhead. Let's say you hit a healthy survivor holding the box with Franklin's.... now you have to choose to either give up the box or continue chasing the survivor (in which case someone else can pick it up and solve it). Compare that to without the perk where you still get to chase the survivor with the box, it still can't be solved, and when you do eventually down them you get to insta-pick up the box and solve it.

[@rolluponyostreet]

ohh also another kind of weird one because it hasn’t been buffed or anything at all, just kind of appeared in the meta one day.. but that’s deadlock. i used to never see deadlock ever, because people kind of just saw it as useless and like “30s? that’s nothing” from the minds of some. but recently, and for a few months now… gen times feel super quick and really out of control and for that reason i have seen a massive surge in dead lock users… especially after hyperfocus got added adding a new genrush perk to genrush builds. so definitely another perk that shifted into the meta… weirdly.

[@wonderhealer9665]

Tbh I hate the dead man's nerf, like I know people will argue against this but the only reason why it was nerfed was because pain res made it abusable, without pain res it was in that perfect sweet spot of strong but not op, here's a reworked idea that could fit the perk nicely Dead Man's Switch After Hooking a survivor this Perk will be activated while the survivor is on the hook, the next survivor who stops interacting with a generator, the generator will be blocked for 45 seconds and this perk will deactivate. Involuntary actions such as screaming will not block the generator

[@WanzerAllen]

Power struggle imo was a situational perk before it’s buff!

[@InsomniacStormyz]

DID ANYONE NOTICE THE USERNAMES AT THE START

[@williambilloverback3172]

We can also add hope on this list. The fact that now is infinite, just saves your ass so many times. It’s an incredibile perk

[@sejoxiii]

Spine Chill, before it only activates if a killer is looking in your direction but now it activates if a killer is around 40m (anti stealth killers) and can also measure the killer's distance (provided they have a terror radius)! 👍

[@JohnDeleon1997]

As someone who plays mostly killer, but does dabble in both, boil over is my most hated perk. The only time it shines is in toxic bully squads. Rarely does it genuinely help that much but MAN does it ruin the fun of a game.

[@wakeup8340]

You seem to have missed Wake Up! Fortunately I am willing to forgive you as Wake Up! Has never been a zero perk and so could technically not go from zero to hero as it has always been the hero! I will however ask that you are more careful with these lists as these mistakes are all but too common!

[@Alextheflykat]

Personally I loved what they did to Hope, removing the timer on it. Now you're just slightly faster all endgame, and it trips up a lot of killers too

[@brandonmulryan1522]

I wouldn't say that the new WGLF was buffed in any way, it was remade into an overtly convoluted ability that never gets any use due to how situational its effect is. It is absolutely leaned more towards a nerf than a buff.

I would still rather WGLF and some random killer perk retain their BP effects. That way we can at least get some options if we wanted.

[@Thea-Time-13th]

Overcharge was even more busted than you think. It didn't increase the speed for 30 seconds to 400%, it slowly increased to 400% over the course of 30 seconds. After that the effect would remain until a survivor touched the generator. Truly a busted perk.

prove thyself was pretty good but it is absurd now. 15% for 2 survivors on top of the already 200%. Here take this so for all survivors on a gen you have 400%+75% which 475% is about 4.75 times faster. if a gen takes 90 seconds every second is 4.75 seconds.
