One Thing I Like & Dislike About Every DBD Survivor

[@Johnsbigwick797]

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

[@slsbaconbits4012]

Henrietta would have been better imo. At least as a skin for plague.

[@theARoberts]

That would have been cool. Missed opportunity for sure.

[@mrtea7002]

I was thinking a skin for Michael. The one in particular is the ghost with the glasses, The bandages on his head in 4, the pink and blonde mask, or even the Halloween 3 masks! They can even do a prison uniform and the 2018 style.For the weapons they can use that glass thing from kills, or a scalpel.

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

[@amandafalt]

absolutely agree, i love her meeting up with douglas at the end of sh3 and going "dont you think blondes have more fun?" and flipping her hair. i wish bhvr wouldve kept the endgame version of her in the lobby animation

[@Kimience]

@amanda same here! Would've been more fun with a more fitting endgame animation, honestly they could've kept the timid and depressed look for the Alessa skin if she got the same treatment as a legendary,

[@theARoberts]

Thank you for backing me up on that then! I wasn't sure having not played SH3, but from what I've heard about her and read in her lore it just seemed too timid for her. Though you are right that it could just be the post trauma

[@Kimience]

@ARoberts no problem! I've been a huge SH fan for a very long time so I love speculating and thinking around the franchise and with Cheryl in dbd etc ^.^ I really hope they give SH another chapter and not just RE getting all the love, imagine how fun it would be if her dad joined her 🤭

[@liquid_pig]

I don't think it's even really accurate to how she deals with the horror she faces DURING Silent Hill 3, where she's obviously disturbed but very good at standing up to the monsters and isn't shy about spitting venom at the human villains. If anything she strikes me as someone who would mask her fear and trauma with bravado instead of timidly retreating into herself like she's portrayed in DBD.

[@fourfifty-eight5683]

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 :/

You're probably spot on there. No doubt that's a more realistic reaction to trauma for any young adult than not.

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”

[@Adept_Outlaw]

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.

[@theARoberts]

This is a really great explanation, thank you for sharing. I can absolutely see the connection there between the wrench and it summoning the Entity and the Entity showing her her father so that she would be distracted at being taken. I think you're spot on there.

[@chris-tianmothman]

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).

[@thefluffyaj4119]

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

[@theARoberts]

I haven not seen the movie myself (it's on my list to watch, hopefully this year) so you have educated me greatly with this comment and made me appreciate his character more. I immensely respect your point in #4, it is absolutely not limited to only females and I agree that it's great to see his character represent male csa survivors. Thank you for sharing and being open about that.

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.

Stake out is useful when using hyperfocus, makes maintaining hyperfocus stakes easy. Also detectives hunch is arguably the best totem hunting perk.

[@donnybrook7648]

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.

[@theARoberts]

I appreciate you weighing in on all of those. I definitely need to give Tapp's perks some more time personally. I'll have to try running Yoichi with his ugly sweater, I had completely forgotten about that one. I really like your idea of playing the Survivors with their on perks to give them more uniqueness, because otherwise they really are more like skins once you have perks unlocked.

[@twoturtlesinabathtub]

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.

[@theARoberts]

I love this take on Dwight. I really would love for them to connect his lore better like that. Perhaps we'll get to see it in the DBD movie. Here's hoping. 😂What has you convinced?

[@twoturtlesinabathtub]

​@ARoberts Oh the Nea thing is just my Killer bias talking, I more often than not get frustrating Neas haha. And yeah, here's to hoping the movie puts more effort into characterizing my special boy.

[@DerpyAf]

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.

[@theARoberts]

That makes sense. I had totally forgotten that hooks didn't respawn 😅that was before my time in the game but goodness does that sound OP!

[@DerpyAf]

@@theARoberts It was painful. Which is why Killers preffered Iron Grasp to get to the basement if the survivors sabotaged all other hooks.

[@renroses]

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)

[@BraidensWorldEntertainment]

My favorite killer lord is when they’re just evil, no reason to be evil they just like to be. Same with survivors

I love when the Killer and Survivor's lore overlap too. One of the reasons I really enjoyed Knight and Vittorio too. I'm glad I am not the only one who feels that way about Nea 😅Her cosmetics are so good, but so bright! It's just counter to her whole focus on stealth 😂

[@RedRage71890]

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 :(

[@Adept_Outlaw]

I think they are neglected because they don’t make bhvr as much money as the overrated characters do. Which is really sad because they have some of the best written lore of the survivor roster. You can also include elodie in this list since she already went a full year without receiving a store outfit. That’s why I have a deep respect for anyone that mains any of the underrated characters of the survivor/killer roster. Zarina/Deathslinger main here btw.

[@theARoberts]

Yeah, it's really disappointing indeed. I agree with Adept that it's most likely because they don't make BHVR enough money to justify the design time. I get it, because they are a business and need to allocate their finite resources to what will make them money, but that doesn't mean I have to like it 😂

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

[@theARoberts]

Yeah, that's what I was referring to, but if the Killer doesn't bring that perk then it's not as useful. Do you feel that Killers often bring Spies? I mostly play Killer so I may be assuming incorrectly that it is rarely used.

[@jaska8203]

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.

[@theARoberts]

Ah, didn't realize that was in the terms of the deal. It would totally make sense then why they would not invest a ton of dev time into it. I don't have to like it, but I can respect that they need to divert their limited resources to what will make them a return. That makes total sense on Stake Out, I appreciate the suggestion!

[@realjimmycasket]

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.

[@theARoberts]

Ah yes, that's a good point about Bill, he is pretty loud. Tough when you have to run an okay perk taking up a perk slot just to offset an imbalance in the audio of a character. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way about Boons/Hexes. I really love High Risk, High Reward perks or other things that make you make decisions that are tradeoffs. One of the reasons I love playing Plague, because once infected Survivors have to choose between two bad choices. So to me, being able to eliminate a strong perk for the Killer while also being able to activate a strong perk for four Survivors, all in one move, is OP.

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!

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.

And finally tenacity can be used in niche anti-slug builds with soul guard,unbreakable, no mither, boon exponential,flip flop,power struggle,boil over. In general teachables don’t mean much to me as I have every survivor perk on tapp. If you make a future tier list probably remove teachable perks from the consideration as after 1000 hours or so they don’t matter

[@gee_whizz13]

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

That does make a lot of sense, thank you for sharing!

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

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!)

[@theARoberts]

I appreciate the suggestion for Stakeout pairing, I definitely was only thinking about it in isolation so I'll have to give that a try! Thanks! I agree that boons will be less frequent as of today. That said, it's more of a matter of principle for me than actual gameplay, I just don't like that it's nothing but negatives for the Killer and positives for the Survivor, I want them to have to choose 😂 This is the best explanation I've heard yet for Haddie's hair and along the lines of what I was assuming, but much better explained. Thank you! Makes total sense on the cosmetics for Renato and Thalita, hopefully they'll get several more quickly!

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.

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.

[@theARoberts]

Thank you for recommending that, I will definitely have to give it a try! That's one thing I'm still trying to get better at is seeing the potential of perks being able to stack together. I'm more familiar with Killer perks, but very ignorant on many Survivor ones.

[@Darkcrya_]

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)

[@theARoberts]

Thank you for weighing in. I definitely have not given Tapp's perks the credit they deserve. I appreciate the advise and I'll definitely be trying to work those in to future builds whenever I play Survivor to give them a try.

[@heyygallo]

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.

[@theARoberts]

That's a good point, I can see that being valuable with Lithe. I don't typically see Survivors pairing that together successfully, but in the right hands I can see it being good. If I saw you do that against me I'd probably go away too 😂

[@Chem.Baroness]

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

[@theARoberts]

Thanks for weighing in! I hadn't considered it with other perks, so that helps, definitely going to give it a try.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. Ah yes, I should have pointed that out, great point. I also have heard that the reason Chris looks weird is that it's an update on his RE1 remaster model which is why it looks low res even for DBD. Not sure if that's true or not to be honest.

[@Sabercat696]

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.

I appreciate all of this explanation, thank you for sharing. This is helping me with my lack of Survivor knowledge as a Killer main 😅 so I appreciate it!

[@toxtricitycore9998]

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!

I'm a Feng Min main and I am nowhere near toxic at all. In fact, I always shit on other Fengs if they are toxic in my matches or if they try to turn the game against any of us. I'm either the first one to die or I stay alive until the end and then fail to find the hatch XD. If you come across me in a match, hii! (I use the same name there as I do here) As for Vittorio, he has become my second survivor main since a few days. (although I will play as Feng the most, but I switch to Vittorio whenever I am in a full male squad) I agree about Potential Energy, I loveeeeeee that perk. I became a fan of that perk since the Chaos Shuffle modifier and I kept an eye on Shrine of Secrets until I actually bought Vittorio. I love his glowing tattoos aswell, though I prefer them blue over the yellow ones, but I agree about the Quick Gambit perk. Quite useless and not really up there. I also use Potential Energy on my Feng Min :D I however have beef with these survivors: Dwight Bill Ada Nea Claudette Leon Sable

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.

[@0neInTheChambie]

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.

Thank you for sharing your perspective on this. That makes a lot of sense and wasn't something I had considered.

[@theARoberts]

I'm a Mikaela fan because I mostly enjoy her lore. But I'm personally okay with the CoH nerf (but then again I'm a Killer main so there's that). Did I feel it really needed it? No, but I'm not upset over it either.

[@ttowen]

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.

[@theARoberts]

I've since been won over to test out all of his perks. Instantly prestiged him after hearing from all of you 😄

[@the_deadzone]

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.

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

what do you consider as toxic as i often get called toxic for basically sticking with my mates and saving them with a beamer when they get tunneled out or are already on dead hook ~rebecca main

[@theARoberts]

So I'm not surprised you get called toxic for that because a lot of players would rather accuse the other side of being toxic than own that they made a mistake or played poorly themselves, but I wouldn't call what you described toxic at all, just fair gameplay. To me toxic play is more when the Survivor is playing in a way that is clearly and intentionally meant to frustrate the Killer, i.e. chaining flashlight stuns, T-bagging at pallets, using Boil Over/Boon Exponential combo on second floors without hooks, etc. I will also say that I still respect that form of "toxic" gameplay and it can even be used strategically to win trials. It can even sometimes be fun as the Killer to go against Survivors who play like that if you adopt the right mindset. So in all honesty, if it's only gameplay-related, I have no objective issue with it, I was mostly just having fun with what I said. True toxicity is when people take it out of the game into the end game chat or in DM's, etc., and attack the person themselves. That I stand against.

[@ihmislehma]

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.

[@GoldKitsuneBrony]

Stakeout is best when combined with other perks that reward great skill checks. Hyper Focus and Fog Wise. Edit: Infact all taps perks are really not stand alones, they're best in a build dedicated to 1 gimmick. Like Tenacity in a Flip Flop build or Detective's hunch in a totem busting build.

[@theARoberts]

I have gravitated to both of them as well. They're both awesome characters, but Zarina is definitely more rare.

[@puraidoeustass]

Hmm, never really thought about it. Let's see. Dwight: I have nothing against Dwight in General, and I love Dwelf. I dislike that he gets so many cosmetics, especially those weird ones. I get he's the poster boy, but give other characters cosmetics too. I absolutely HATE it when people call him "Dweet." My friend does it, sometimes multiple times in a row, and I want to end the call every time I hear it. Meg: She was the first character I played and had on P3, and I like most of her cosmetics (in fact, I own all of them. I got them because of my Vacation money from work. It was on a card, and I could only use it in the store, so I bought many Steam cards. The same goes for Nea and Jake for some reason, I don't even really play Jake). As for Dislikes, hmm, I met some pretty traumatizing Megs. Most are chill, but occasionally I run into this super sweaty tryhard Meg. (Also, she gets too many cosmetics, give some to the newer ones!) Claudette: I like her lore, and some of her cosmetics are super nice. Similarly to Dwight and Meg, she gets too many cosmetics. I roll my eyes every time I see a new release for Claudette. Also, hiding Claudettes. Jake: He seems like a guy I would get along with. I'm not an Off-the-grit person, but I like calm people, especially when I hike through the woods. However, I dislike his perks now. They could have cut Iron Will to 75%, but why the heck did they have to add the bit with Exhaustion? Nea: My favorite female character. I am a Nea main, and she means a lot to me. I mained her from the moment Meg hit P3. I always liked Nea's cosmetics more. As for Dislike, why the frick has she linked cosmetics? Doesn't make sense with her. Let me combine other cosmetics with them. Laurie: ... I ... uh, I guess it's cool that she was the first licensed character. But I really don't like Laurie ... Her screams are annoying, and her injured sounds are too. Ace: I like the guy; I also like that he is naturally so quiet. Yeah, the grin looks a bit unnatural, so I dislike that. Bill: I like Bill. Especially when they are these hyper altruistic Gods. What I dislike is that sometimes I get Baby Bills that hide in a corner for an entire hook stage. Feng: She is cool. I like that she sees the Entity's realm as a challenge. I also love her streamer girl cosmetics. They have pretty colors. I dislike that many people play relatively toxic. Also, I'm not the biggest fan of her scream. David: David is my man. I love him, even with all his flaws (he has none) and all the questionable things he did (he never did anything wrong). Next to Evan, David is my favorite person in the game. I could never be mad at David. (He's perfect.) The thing I dislike is that he doesn't have a bunny suit. I swear to the Entity, if Feng gets another Bunny cosmetic and David (and Trickster) doesn't, I'm gonna be mad! Quentin: I like that he got his face remodeled. Uhh ... I don't like his old face? Tapp: Tapp cool? I had some amazing Tapps that rescued me. I can't say I dislike things about him. Kate: Her lore is cool. But what I love most is her winter cosmetic, where the little ice picks swing around. Love it. I don't know why, but I don't like her updated face. I'm less invested in her since she got remodeled. Adam: He's cool. I like Adam, I had a phase where I played no one but him. I dislike that he has so few cosmetics. Jeff: It's hard ... I don't know, I guess I like that he knows the Legion??? He's too loud even while normally walking. I don't like playing him. I also don't really care about him. Jane: Jane has some awesome cosmetics. But I also don't really care for her lore. Ash: The hand puppet is cool. Other than that, I don't really care. I never watched anything Evil Dead related. Nancy: For a time, my friend and I would play as Alpha Nancy and Omega Nancy. And we had some really good times. We pulled some awesome plays off, and I'm usually a potato, to that was special to me. I'm sad Nancy is out of the game. Steve: Scoops Ahoi Steve is pretty cool, with sunglasses. I can't say many negative things about Steve. I had the occasional encounter with a weird Steve, but yeah, not much else. Yui: She's great. I love her lore. And I like that the Hachimaki thing is in all of her cosmetics. I don't really know what negative things I could say about her. (Most characters coming now are kinda meh to me, so I will wrap it up quickly. The most negative things are that I don't really care about these characters.) Zarina: I like her lore, and I love her onesie outfit. But she's still kinda forgettable to me. Cheryl: I like that she has so many Legendary cosmetics. This is how BHVR should use linked cosmetics (not what they do with Nea). Nothing much to say negatively about her. Felix: Ah, my fellow German man. He gets plus points for that alone. I can't hate him. I still remember how happy I was to get a German character. He has one or two weird cosmetics. Other than that, there's not much that I dislike. Élodie: Cool idea, but overall a meh character to me. I just don't care. Yun-Jin: I like that she is so different from all the other survivors. She has Girlboss vibes, and I love it. I am not a fan of her scream or her injured sounds. Jill: Cool, I guess, but I never played RE, so I just don't care about her. Leon: Same problem with Leon. I don't care about him. I typically play Carlos. Mikaela: Uh ... hm, interesting backstory, I guess. But I don't like her much in general. Jonah: Entirely forgettable to me. Uh, I guess I like some of his cosmetics. Yoichi: Sorry, I constantly forget he exists. Haddie: Who? I never read her lore or the tome lore. I don't care about her. Ada: Same with all the Resi Characters: I don't care! Rebecca: Stay away from me, demon. I don't know what it is, but I cannot stand Rebecca. Her one perk is pretty cool, but other than that, there is nothing I like about her. Vittorio: I love him! After David, he's my favorite male survivor. He has two shirtless cosmetics, which gives him a big boost. I like his lore and connection to the Knight. This one perk is meh. Thalita: I don't care. I started leveling her, but I just don't see a point in doing it. Renato: I played him exactly once because everyone was Renato; I never leveled him up, never clicked on him again. I don't care. Uh, yeah, I really don't have many positive things to say about some of the later survivors. They are getting too many. I try to rotate with survivors, but I typically play with Nea/David, sometimes Meg/Feng/Yui/Yun-Jin/Vittorio, and that's about it. And since I am only occasionally playing DBD now, I don't have the time to even look at them more closely.

I actually kind of disagree when it comes to the usage of Tapp's perk "Stake Out". For those that don't want to play the same perks again and again a perk build with "Stake Out" + "Fogwise" + "Fast Track" + "Hyperfocus" can ne quite useful for doing generators and keeping track of the killer.

It's been my understanding that every cosmetic actually represents a different version of the character from a different universe within the DBD multiverse. But my issue is that usually the default matches the lore (i.e. RE2 Leon in both default and lore) whereas Ada's lore is RE4 and her default is RE2.

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

[@theARoberts]

I'm going to have to try those! Thanks for the suggestions!

[@prodigizethis]

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

[@theARoberts]

I've grown to appreciate it more since making this video 😁

[@Bookwormtalksabout]

In my experiences I see tons of Yuis

[@theARoberts]

I'm glad to hear that, she's one of my favorites

[@kyo2659]

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.

[@theARoberts]

I appreciate that! I definitely need to give it a try, I'm honestly not as great yet at seeing how Survivor perks can pair well together, so suggestions like this help!

As a bill main I do be altruistic and you are right he needs more cosmetics

[@theARoberts]

I'm glad to hear you play him that way and that you agree on the cosmetics. I love the few he has, he just needs more!

[@prodigizethis]

Agree with you completely on Adam's "Deliverance". It should work on 1st or 2nd stage. The game needs to get rid of the struggle stage. It's pointless and annoying. Just make both stages like the first. And while I'm at it... DBD really really needs to make an audio option that only mutes the hook screams. They are loud and ridiculous and serve no purpose. Most players pause the screen when being hooked, to muffle the scream sounds a bit. This game has so much potential, but it has been out for 7 years and still has so many base game issues that were never addressed.

[@theARoberts]

Glad I'm not alone on thinking Deliverance should work on both stages. I'm honestly okay with the struggle stage myself, but it would be nice if there was more you could do with certain perks like Deliverance. It was in a recent update I believe that many of the screams got longer. Now it's kind of weird because sometimes the last way too long and other times they don't.

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

[@theARoberts]

I've heard the hyperfocus/stakeout combo several times now. Thank you for sharing all that, I will definitely have to give those perk combos a try!

[@ilontraa]

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

[@theARoberts]

Of course!
