Is It Worth Buying Perks from the Shrine of Secrets? | Dead by Daylight Guide | 7th Jan - 14th Jan

I totally love how you pointed out that it is better to buy full characters instead of perks. TBH, for most characters you can buy with Shards (excl. the last 4 original chapters, which most likely will be bundled and discounted next year), you spend less shards if you buy the full character compared to buying individual perks from the shrine. If you absolutely cannot spend extra money on DBD, just hoard the shards and buy licensed perks once, when they appear. Buy them only once, then spend BP to get them at tier 3 on all killers and survivors. This way you don't spend 12k shards on a single perk. I do recommend buying licensed DLCs when they are on discount (mainly on Christmas and Anniversary) and spend the shards on cosmetics.

its also important to remember how some characters cost 2250 shards while perks in the SoS cost 2000. if the perks are for one of the characters that are cheap, literally like 1 level more than the prices in the shrine and you get 3 perks instead of 1

Totally agree. I normally say that at the end of every video I make but figured I didn’t need to with this one because the only character that is cheap is Kate

I think it's always worth looking at the Shrine for perks you don't already have, EVEN if you end up getting the character anyway at a later date, at least for survivors. Survivors are perk-carrying skins. If a perk is in the Shrine that unlocks the only perk from a character you don't already have, or even just haven't levelled, that you're interested in, then it gets you the perk. It saves a lot of time, it goes into your builds immediately, and it gives you an idea for how perks like it might fit into your playstyle. Killers, it's a little more nuanced with their powers, but generally, if it gets you a perk for free from a licenced killer you don't have, yea go ahead and pick it up. You might end up spending the money later, but it'll be for the character and their power, not just the perks. 2k Iri shards, I feel, is not a high cost, for a once a week perusal through the offerings. I say all this, because I know people are going to mention the cost effectiveness of doing it this way. Getting a non-licenced character with iris and grinding to p1 to get the teachables might be cheaper on the iri shards, but definitely not on time investment. If the stars align and the shrine deigns to hand you a really great perk on offer, go ahead and pick it up. Save the time. Treat yourself.

I know we all see these comments all over the place, but…. This video is very put together for a channel with only 150 subscribers. I wish the best in your content creator journey!

[@hotsingledad360]

I have quite a lot to learn but thank you for your lovely comment. Really does push me to want to make more and improved videos!

Okay all those perks are good but Kate and Felix are much cheaper now then they were before so it doesn't matter and you should just buy them with shards or pay for the full collection if you can. The killer perks are pretty good and from licensed killers so if you play the game completely free to play... How are you doing it? Please tell me, then they are very useful and worth picking up

[@hotsingledad360]

I think if you play the game totally free any chance you get to pick up any licensed perks from the shrine is a must! You never know when they will rework them or buff them to the point they become meta. I do agree, if you are serious about playing the game, buy the full collection version and you get all the cheaper characters already. I only make these video's to give my take on if the perks are worth picking up or not. From now on I will also mention if the character is cheap enough to pick up and get all 3 perks from them instead of the 1 shrine perk.

@@hotsingledad360 true, for free players any licensed perk is like heaven (still think shrine should be reworked, it kinda sucks ngl)
