Top 6 BEST Survivor Perk Combos in DBD 2021 [Dead by Daylight Guide]

Do you have a favorite perk combo that I didn't go over in this video? Comment it below and maybe I'll do a part 2 with all of your guys' best combos :)

[@mcfionn294]

Deception and Quick and quiet is a good combo

[@mr.philosophy]

You forgot to mention the fact that Lucky Break can be used multiple times, as it only deactivates when you spend that long injured and you can heal up to keep your remaining time

[@finksmaestro1798]

Personally I have a perk combo. I understand that Leon wasn’t out when you made this but Self-Care (Claudette’s personal perk) and Bite the Bullet (Leon’s personal perk). Self-Care allows you to be able to heal without using a med kit so with Leon’s Bite the Bullet which make you able to not make noise while you are healing, allows you to get a lead on the killer and hide in a corner and start healing yourself. Also if you fail a skill check Bite the Bullet will not rat you out to the killer which is what makes it different from iron will. The killer walks passed me 9/10. However make sure he doesn’t see you when to start to hide.

[@thehorrormonster]

I really love quick and quiet with head on :)

[@mcfionn294]

I'm still thankful about the bp build it really does the job well

[@drip_chicken_]

another good combo is ds with deliverance or deliverance with sprint burst or all of them

[@sh6rpshot]

A lot goes well with deliverance :)

[@citatap]

whenever i run soul guard: team mates know exactly where the hex totem is and cleanses it in 15 seconds whenever i don't: hex totem spawns in the hardest to find place and nobody can find it

[@claypilgrim8011]

A really new insane perk combo is Blast Mine and Repressed Alliance, its so much fun. Also some others not mentioned Quick an quiet - Head On DS - Unbreakable Dead Hard - Iron Will Sprint Burst - Fixated

[@ErTitoLewis89]

Now with Leon number 2 would be bite the bullet + iron will. Anyways great video.

[@kennysterlingz6031]

Why not just iron will? u wont make noise when ur not healing and u can hide somewhere far away from killer if u wanna heal , bite the bullet is only when u healing make no noise tho.

[@potato4166]

bite the bullet kinda sucks tho , not worth for a perk slot

[@riquelme4505]

@@potato4166 not really say for instance your entire team is injured bite the bullet keeps you silent aswell as your team so it doesn't suck in my book tho

[@landonwillis8339]

I always use ace in the hole and plunderers because I’m scared to use good items for some reason lol

[@dividedbyzero11]

Babysitter and Off the Record is a personal favorite of mine. Makes sure both me AND the person I’m unhooking make it out safely. And Off The Record removes Babysitters downside. For a great altruistic build, run it with Borrowed Time and We’ll Make It, or BT and WGLF like it was listed in the video.

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s a cool combo!

[@Caelanity]

I look forward to having a sabotage build with Leon’s flash bang and jills trap. I was playing ptb and the killer got trap hit so many times lmao

[@sh6rpshot]

Ikkk they’re both really useful perks!!

[@TTguy7050]

I'm surprised sprint burst and fixated wasn't mentioned. Oh well, it's sh6rp's tier list

[@tarkus1056]

The thing with the Inner Strenght+Small Game combo is if it justifies Small Game having a perk slot over an exhaustion perk, an information perk and a utility perk, specially when, if you're somewhat experienced, you more or less know where some totems may spawn. Also, although I always run Inner Strenght, I think some people overrate it, because yes, it's close to an insta-heal, but: - It's limited to 5 heals per match, assuming 1) you find all totems and 2) no other survivor has touched a totem - You still have to get into a locker after doing the totem, which in certain situations you're not guaranteed that heal because you may go down before you get to use it after foing the totem - You lose time looking for and doing totems and getting into the locker, when you could use a medkit or just be repairing gens or doing saves - If the killer has something like Iron Maiden you're fucked (very stressful games against Huntresses) (Goddamn, that sounded harsher that I intended) That's why I always run Inner Strenght but as a niche, specially for situations like being unhooked, to get back into the game quickly.

[@sh6rpshot]

You can still run the combo with an info and exhaustion perk though! I would personally run it with BT and an exhaustion though :)

[@TastyGamingQc]

Spine chill, resilience…AND prove thyself Inner strength with detective hunch. You’ll thank me later. Lithe, dance with me AND quick and quiet. Try it.

[@N8doggamer]

Here's a great combo We'll make it combined with empathy. You see an injured person get chased, you move in for the unhook and heal them up asap after the killer leaves. Afterwards you still have a lengthy period of we'll make it being active and empathy has a huge range aura reveal allowing you to keep everyone fighting fit and back to healed in a heartbeat (bonus, throw on desperate measures and botany knowledge for the superior paramedic build)

[@biancatorres5528]

Here's some combos that I've been using a lot: For the People + Resilience Empathy + Botany Knowledge Borrowed Time + Deliverance Head On + Quick and Quiet Smash Hit + Any Means Necessary Btw great video! I was getting sad that Lithe + Dance With Me didn't make it, what a nice surprise.

[@sh6rpshot]

Right there at #1!! Those are some great combos though :)

[@saihiko9967]

Honestly for number 6 with ace and plunderers, appraisal is a must with it because, if your searching chests, you might as well get 2 items out of one chest, because teammates do opens chests and it screws the build over completely, appraisal is a must for this build to get at least 3 items if all 3 chests or like 1 or 2 of them get opened by a random at the start of a match

[@miiyth3745]

Decisive strike, tenacity, unbreakable, and deliverance

[@sh6rpshot]

Great build!! :)

[@DarkKiller-0]

Me and my friends have been running Up The Ante with Slippery Meat. When we stack our luck together it’s basically a guaranteed unhook with the bonus of not getting the broken status effect from deliverance. Plus no prerequisites. Also use DS as well to really waste the killers time

[@leonkennedy6206]

Autodidact and solidarity work surprisingly well together if you get lucky with skill checks

[@sh6rpshot]

True!

[@brendanmcgreevy595]

I love a BT/Deliverance build, since if you have to make a hook trade you end up wasting the killer’s time and can unhook yourself if the killer goes after the BT fellow.

[@sh6rpshot]

True! DS makes you get a really easy safe hook for deliverance:)

[@broken1boness]

Surprised I didn’t see open handed and kindred. Not only can you always see the other survivors auras when someone is hooked. But having a 32m killer aura read from the hook is amazing. I use it when I play with my friends and they love it cause I’ll tell them when the killer is going to them or not.

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s another great combo!

[@Noob_-]

You could also add quick and quiet with lithe and dance with me. Edit: You could also run Streetwise, Built To Last, Botany Knowledge, and Self Care, and then combine that with a ranger medkit that has gel dressings and a gauze roll to basically make it infinite.

[@sh6rpshot]

I prefer inner strength and detectives hunch personally. Yes it's generator dependent but I like seeing exactly where the totem is rather than hearing a sound and having to hunt around the general area for a bit

[@artemis0079]

My fav is sprint burst and dead hard. Works super well together, hopefully it won’t be nerfed🤫

[@janezt1002]

i have a killer combo: trail of torment + overcharge this one is really good since if you have trail of torment and if the undetectabe goes out you know on what gen the survivor is on PLUS its really hard to do the gen due of really hard skill checks

[@discordanceplays]

We'll Make it + Second Wind = We'll Make It near guarantees you'll get your second wind activated as you can heal their health state quickly when you unhook them which saves time. Then you don't have to worry about someone healing you if they unhook you which also saves time. This works crazy with possibly baiting the killer thinking you're a soft target and then you heal mid chase. Or you can jump in a locker and they wait for DS to run out you heal and take a hit getting out of the locker. Whether they down your or not/grab you out the locker or not its a win win in wasting their time.

[@mikemaguire151]

I feel like plunders and appraisal is a bit better then ace in the hole because you get 2 items of high quality every chest which almost guarantees you'll find a key if you end up in a hatch game not to mention providing your team with medkits turning chests into healing stations if needed

[@landonwillis8339]

I feel like inner strength is slept on too much because it is sooooo clutch. It could just be me being missy about my main Nancy tho

[@noah.2B]

Instead of a teammate needing to spend 16 seconds healing you, total of 32s of survivor's time spent; you could have -1 Totem and take 8 seconds to heal yourself. Pretty good deal imo

[@mrgokusan7962]

Nice video! I have a 3rd perk suggestion for the number 5 combo: I would add quick and quiet to jump in a locker without any notification for the killer that means you can be more invisible 😂

[@sh6rpshot]

Very true!!

[@Psion_Phoenix]

Small Game + Inner Strength + Quick & Quiet + Head-on. Might be a good perk combo. Though on the PTB atm, Jill Valentine has a perk that basically makes Small Game obsolete. You cleanse totems 20% faster for each one you break and it always shows the aura of the furthest totem from you for (x) seconds.

[@sh6rpshot]

Jill’s totem perk is great! I personally still like small game better but that’s a great combo too :)

[@adammurray2945]

I really like using Sprint burst and Fixated, just allows me to use sprint burst more often and it helps with 99ing or saving it

[@cyprusgaming.]

Kindred and Open Handed is pretty nutty, especially at jungle gyms since you can basically run the loop forever if you see their aura.

[@sh6rpshot]

Absolutely!!

[@TriggerBlister]

Flip Flop+Unbreakable was always a fun combination especially when trying to troll.

[@PhantomJavelin]

Soul Guard + Tenacity is probably more consistent than SG + Unbreakable as an anti-slug combo against hexes to make yourself hard-to-find and a quick pickup if there are no hexes; Unbreakable is really good as a stand-alone perk.

[@sh6rpshot]

Fair point!

[@xlons]

Tenacity + Unbreakable is surprisingly good if the killer slugs you and you recover and move away.

[@sh6rpshot]

Very true!

[@thekingsguide5402]

Why run Small Game when you can run Detectives Hunch and see all totems aura in a big radius

[@jocelynlewis4195]

Deliverance and Borrowed Time, even if the killer tunnels, you have a high chance of the game counting it as a safe hook. So the person can live and you can unhook yourself later.

[@sh6rpshot]

Great combo!

[@KatsuKasuu]

@@sh6rpshot I'm actually really curious now, will repressed and jills perk stack?

no mither is a bad perk, but running "this isnt happening" and "resilience" means that u can tunnel gens, if u want some survivability dead hard works well with it, or if u want even more gen tunneling u can run some other gen speed perks, so maybe it would work in specific playstyles and comps

those perks are all good but it's missing an exhaustion perk, as well as borrowed time. my personal build is iron will, borrowed time, kindred, and sprint burst (though you could use lithe or dead-on instead of sprint burst). this build covers you for stealth, rescues, information, and exhaustion. so far it has gotten me to rank 3 (working on rank 1)

[@sh6rpshot]

so I have found a fun build that i am trying to make better, it uses No Mither and Resilence to make it so that all your action speeds are permentatly buffed in exchange for a health state, and putting iron will on will make it so that you don't make any noise either. trying to find a good 4th perk to make this a glass cannon survivor build. basically able to do alot of objectives faster then normal, but you go down in one hit
