Which Killers Did the Entity Buff & Nerf? (Dead by Daylight)

[@starmoral5456]

[@minouchemcfloof7388]

The reason that Nemesis isn't mutating much is because he isn't taking a lot of damage. In his original game, he took shotgun blast after shotgun blast and every type of firepower shot into his body, making his body mutate in an attempt to overcome the damaged that he received, and adapting to his needs for his situation. Also, he's still wearing his limiter suit, a suit that is so strong and so skin tight that it physically keeps him from mutating. Kinda like how water can't turn to ice when under enough pressure, because it has no physical to expand and making it stay liquid, the correct term for this would be supercooling. Sorry, I'm a bit of a RE BOW Nerd haha

[@Yndratdnable]

Oh that's how the limiters work ok I never understood how they worked I thought it was tech or something.

[@Paladin_Lawbro]

@@YndratdnableNgl me too, I always thought the bow limiters were just random clothing with a bunch of chemical pumps underneath. I never thought it was literally just stopping them from expanding

[@Blazingstudios882]

1:30 if I remember correctly Freddy Krueger is a powerful dream Demon that can invade peoples nightmares and kill them in their sleep, but in the actual films he can’t force you to go to sleep, and he only has power over you once you’re asleep as long as you’re awake you can’t do anything to you more or less, but but in the entity’s realm he can put you to sleep which is how power was buffed the entity made it slightly easier to use

[@bensoontm5244]

Need that freddy back

[@frescobar1839]

So essentially his powers are easier to activate but much less effective overall.

[@alybadry203]

The only issue is he can't use the dream world to its full potential like in the movies.

[@megalabite1013]

I can see that being a buff as now he doesn’t need to wait and they can’t just avoid it but he’s no longer a god in the dream world but like in the real world a normal burn victim with some limited power

[@Dioslux]

this isn't a buff. in dream world, freddy is literally the entity. he can spawn in anything, rip his own limbs off and not take any damage, teleport, make you hallucinate, list goes on. he's immortal and invincible. in dbd, he puts you in the dream world but all he can do is teleport and make you run slow for like 2 seconds..

[@methanolfortheblind]

To put Vecna’s nerf into context- it seems to be implied that the Vecna in DbD is still in his archlich form, pre-ascension to godhood. That would make him a wizard at a level of power way past the maximum possible to achieve for D&D player characters; he would be throwing out max-level spells like candy. Here’s a sampler of a few of those spells. Weird: Summon illusory versions of a group of people’s greatest fears to torment them. Imprisonment: Indefinitely restrain a target person in any one of a variety of ways, including by putting them into an unbreakable coma, teleporting them into an extradimensional prison, or shrinking them down to bug size and freezing them in a gemstone. True Polymorph: Turn anyone into anything. Permanently. Power Word Kill: Instantly kill any creature with less than a hundred hit points. Most normal humans have four hit points. It’s “Fuck you, die” the spell. Meteor Swarm: Summon a cluster of actual asteroids from actual space to nuke the entire map. Wish: Literally just ask the goddess of magic for whatever you want and she’ll do it for you.

[@Paladin_Lawbro]

Vecna is without a doubt the strongest character to be in the game if not for the nerf.

[@Taygon45]

This is probably the Vecna from the recent book. Where he seems to casually walk between in and out of different worlds, including Barovia, a world cut off from the rest of the multiverse.

[@Taygon45]

@@Paladin_Lawbro If the Entity didn't nerf him it's completely possible he would have overthrown it

[@Taygon45]

Apologies, the tie in book is stopping him from killing all gods across the multiverse, eliminating all good and rewriting reality to his vision. Yeah the Entity is scary

[@gaumap3831]

it is scary how Entity manage to bind him at his lowest, yet the Lich still so confident to scratch out the dark secret of this fak up realm of Entity :)))

[@nazariig.4714]

Freddy got buffed by the ability to damage survivors outside of the dream world and interact with the real world(breaking pallets, gens, etc.)

[@thatfishguy4991]

I would say that’s more of a nerf tbh because he lost all of his dream world ability.

[@Observe-h1t]

Isnt Freddy always can injure his victim irl? Freddy vs Jason was Canon afaik and Freddy is forced to fight Jason irl which despite losing his dream power he still have superhuman strength and durabilty enough to take Jason's blow who normally decapitates entire torso in one blow.

[@nazariig.4714]

@sigmaenjoyer7020 freddy is pulled out of the dream world in that movie to be forced to face jason cause he is unkillable otherwise. Dbd Freddy is taken from 2010 remake where he can't interact with the real world

[@ivantheterrible3202]

I honestly think the entity “buffed” Freddy by allowing him to exist and interact with things that are outside the dream world, originally I don’t think he could do that.

[@georgialopez7717]

The Mark of Negation on Vecna is a very fascinating detail and it's a safe bet that Dracula will have it as well. There could be so many stages of pain to it depending on how defiant a killer is and that's quite scary. Perhaps we'll get a survivor with it too in the future. 😧 Thank you for the video. ❤

[@speedofsoundgaming7693]

Why would Dracula have it? Dracula wouldn't even be one of the top 5 powerful characters by lore I'd think but open to changing my mind.

[@BetaToaster]

​@speedofsoundgaming7693 Well, this is Dracula from Castlevania that we're talking about. He's quite powerful

[@bonkoulrewiew]

Castlevania's Dracula is akin to a demigod of darkness. Unaging and possessing inhuman strength, can regenerate himself through spilled blood, can change himself into a swarm of bats or a red mist to drain vitality, and it takes generations of exorcists to seal him using very powerful holy weaponry. And yet he always comes back.

[@alybadry203]

​@@bonkoulrewiewEven in the show he was unstoppable while starved of blood and very weakened.

[@WilliamAfton1946]

[@VexingWeeb]

13:05 twins SLIGHT buff? My guy, Victor can LITERALLY PULL himself out of his sister and become a tiny gremlin to chase mfs and jump at an insane distance! That’s not a slight buff. Twins can’t just disconnect from eachother like that and someone that tiny can’t yet themselves that far. Their life is changed with the ability to separate, that’s a massive buff not a slight 💀

[@theopendoorev]

ikr? twins would literally have NO power without the entity, that is a HUGE buff

[@megalabite1013]

But this comes at a cost as only one can move and be conscious at a time it’s not like they separate and both freely do as they please if they separate vector is the only one conscious it seems as Charlotte seems to be in this almost sleeping state

[@megalabite1013]

So you can pick and choose if this is as powerful as you believe it to be but I think this cost is too much to be considered a great buff

[@jfoster8624]

​@megalabite1013 it's a buff regardless if only one is able to move Victor is able to hold a grown person in a locker and actually hurt people he's a toddler doing this BTW

[@bunnyrose9203]

I think this might genuinely be the first Azhymovs video where you DIDN'T mention James Sunderland when talking about pyramid head! Congrats

[@XyerDark]

It goes further than just being a lich with Vecna, he is by all means a lesser deity in D&D. The fact that The Entity was even able to "nerf" it without Vecna allowing it is a far more terrifying implication than anything we've seen it do before now.

[@lucylucian2564]

i think the only reason she was able to do that was because hes in a different realm,only thing that makes sense actually,it her realm so some rules may aplly in her favor.

[@AnonZ52]

I genuinely think that the Entity's mark is only temporary on Vecna and will most likely take over the realm though Can't bring myself to think that the Entity manages to control powerful beings far out of the league of the Entity

[@sev1120]

​@@lucylucian2564plus, it's likely he's only using an Avatar within the Realm, either that or he's planning on something killing him ovwr and over again, and if that were to happen the entity's Mark would be gone (because he'd reform at his baseline level of power)

Re: Sadako’s trial nerf She was also kinda buffed in a way too. She went from killing people instantly after a week to being able to kill as soon as she enters a trial albeit over the course of a match

[@ottooctavius9552]

Freddy is practically omnipotent in the dream world and yet all he can do in the trials is make weak snares. Wow!

[@Ledros]

I think one of the tome videos shows Hux to be extremely fast even in his previous body, so he also got a huge speed nerf

[@WilliamAfton1946]

Because he got blown up

[@BasementDweller_]

I would argue Sadako got buffed. She no longer needs to wait 7 days for her curse to set in. She can also now kill outside of using her curse now as well.

[@theopendoorev]

well the mini mori IS her killing with her curse. just that it takes seven stacks instead of seven days. but tbh i agree that she was buffed, she can now manifest and demanifest at will and attack people which isn’t really something she could do before

[@PavlikGoose]

nah, in the movie you know she is a powerful ghost that can't be touched, stunned, killed, etc. She also teleports whenever she wants and kill EVERYONE who saw that tape in 7 days without any problems. She always has telekinesis and telepathy, and if she wasn't nerfed, she would be able to kill survivors instantly, and making things in the world much worse. Also In DbD yeah, we have 7 stacks, but it's not guaranteed that she will kill that survivor. and yes, as a Sadako Main, I'm sure that if it wasn't her nerf, she would have been in the top 3 most powerful killers.

[@WilliamAfton1946]

time is Unknown in dbd

[@piggyman8432]

​@@PavlikGoose She still had to wait 7days. When introduced to the realm she could kill anyone who even HELD a tape for more than a few minutes (ik thats been changed for game balance but game balance doesnt kill lore)

[@samclayton628]

​@@piggyman8432I thought she chose to wait seven days? Coulda sworn she was nerfed by personality in the original story

[@Midnight_Wesker]

I'd put both Nemesis and Wesker both in substantially nerfed. While they don't have supernatural powers, they are still insanely powerful. Nemesis in the Remake was able to side step point blank grenade launcher rounds, break out into a full on sprit easily catching up to a superhuman, was able to easily jump multiple feat in the he air and slam back down, was able to tank all types of munitions including a literal rail gun, acid, and being fully ingulfed in flames. He was also able to use weapons like a rocket launcher and flamethrower. His tentacles also were able to grab and pull back prey as we see multiple times in RE3R. I say he's definitely substantialy nerfed. Now Wesker, oh boy Wesker. This man is capable of moving so fast it looks like instant teleportation, he even leaves after images. He can easily dodge and tank any type of weapon you fire at him and can also literally catch rockets. Weskers sprint speed is around 70-100 mph in a matter of seconds, don't forget this man has also tanked multiple rockets and lava and LIVED. Yeah this man was nerfed substantialy. Anyway great video, i think you should do one for survivors now since we have characters like Chris Redfield, Carlos Oliveira, Jill Valentine etc.

[@diablotry5154]

Maybe if wesker achieved complete global saturation he'd be better but it's simply a skill issue

[@TruthsAndFalsehoods]

I think Clown is pretty nerfed when it comes to the actual contents of his bottles. The Afterpiece Tonic should realistically fully incapacitate the victim but instead they recover from it in a matter of seconds. They don't even blur the vision like they used to anymore nor make the victim hallucinate as shown in the tome. However, the Entity did certainly buff his health in the way that he's able to keep up with even the athletes for long periods of time without going into cardiac arrest, so overall I guess that lands him somewhere in the middle.

[@gamer47e17]

Yeah lets be real, Meg would have him wheezing and dying on the ground after like, 20 seconds of chasing her

[@TheMightyFoxxy]

I would minorly reason that Xeno hasn't been made all that much weaker to damage, outside of being able to be stunned with a pallet, it may have even received a defensive buff as the xenomorph species has an immense weakness to fire and considering how much some xenos get burned in matches, it should be half dead with its exoskeleton cracked with acid blood leaking out, while the survivors t-bag out of tail range. So I would reason the entity did enhance its resistance to fire.

[@dr.hollow5639]

So depending on which "Vecna" from which edition or setting Vecna was pulled from he's either a literal diety, or just one of the most powerful non-divine entities. If he's a deity then either A.) that has some serious implications on the entity's power. Or B.)Vecna allowed himself to be taken & his power restricted in order to maybe study the entity. If he's Just a wizard, well he can still kill people with just a word, teleport, raise corpses, stop time, immobilize anyone, & do essentially anything with wish to name a few of the top of my head So yeah he was nerfed into the ground SO HARD that he was taken From either near god or just god lvl to eh, can lift wood & move faster.

Like I mentioned on Twitter, I like to think that even though Sadako doesn’t have the physical mark that Vecna has, I feel like she might have some sort of psychic mark or agreement with the Entity. It seems like the entity has given her a place to unleash her rage and despair, but it’s merely a distraction and not enough to fully satisfy that craving. Whether or not she’s on the same level as Vecna is debatable, but I still think that she could do some real damage if she turned on it.

Soo another nerf for the skullmerchant - no money also buffs for pig - survivor are trustfull and try to boop the snoot and a buff for the demogorgon - I always try to pet it

1:30 I believe that Freddy buff is the ability to damage survivors awaken. cuz based on his lore, he would only be able to to that whit them asleep, but the entity allowed him to put them to sleep manually

I actually agree a lot with Michael. He is slightly NERFED because I’m noticing that there used to be things that I was able to do but now I can’t like game the bloodlust speed boost if I’m still inside tier 1.

[@maysen51]

4:56 pyramid head isn’t a creature he’s a phenomenon in the fog of silent hill taken physical form. The entity did not make a deal with him, the entity instead made a deal with the fog to use pyramid head. Just note pyramid head is the manifestation of anyone heavy guilt or turmoil that seek to be punished. James is in dead by daylight so its likely the fog summoned pyramid head in the entity’s realm to punish james however it was most likely restricted from doing so without the entity’s consent.

[@AnonZ52]

I genuinely think that the Entity's mark is only temporary on Vecna and will most likely take over the realm

[@lozm4835]

There's something that's worth noting. Considering Vecna's design, the fact that he has both hands and both eyes, and is wielding 'Afterthought', this is Vecna as depicted in the Vecna Dossier. In other words, this is Vecna prior to the Betrayal that so defines him (though the Entity does seperately draw in the Hand and Eye, it would seem). If the Entity is scared of a Vecna as he was, then honestly the only reason the Entity is still alive is that Vecna derived something important enough from his time in its domain that he was willing to spare it.

Genuinely, why was pyramid head considered powerful before the realm? if anything he got buffed in the realm. In SH2, you literally win the "boss fights" against him by running in a circle and not getting hit as he desperately tries to swing at you with the great knife over and over.

[@bigmikeishome]

If I recall correctly, the only "buff" Ghostface got from the Entity was the floating tendrils on his outfit. His instadown is just an effect of his meticulousness like you said, it's not something the Entity gave him. Or something like that.

[@10Nickelodeon12]

I just gotta say seeing as how vecna gets mimics I think Xeno should get 5ish random spawning ovomorph eggs that will latch to survivors if they run past them causing the survivor to get injured with deep bleed but you can sneak up to the eggs and crush them (maybe see Xeno aura for a few seconds)

[@speedofsoundgaming7693]

Is 7 bars for Sadako worse than 7 days where you can just show someone the tape? If anything it's a buff to get the deaths faster even if it takes more effort.

[@kaymace94]

I love your videos, been watching for a while. I have one thing to say, instead of going by categories, you should make these in a killer/survivor order, or alphabetically, so you can still keep the mystery of what’s next by the end of the video. As the way you do, by the time one category is over, we already know no one else will be there, and the more the video goes through, the more predictable the things get. You could open a poll to ask the community what would they enjoy more (and ofc if YOU like it)

[@aajlespl7410]

Sadako is greatly buffed. Now she can kill in minutes. Before it would took her whole week

Sorry for the late comment, but you should do 2 separate tier lists where one is based on what survivors would make powerful killers opposite on what killers would make great survivors. I know it might be hard to do but I feel like in lore, Meg would be the legion if she was a killer for example just do to her athletic abilities and perks, while someone like trickster is a normal guy with knives making him much weaker as a survivor

[@gamescape7758]

May disagree about sadako. Im realt world it take 7 days. Im game it usually takes less than 7 minutes

[@Chaka0]

Cant wait for an unkown tome lore and short

[@chaoticsilver8442]

Sadako has been heavily buffed too- I mean, sure her curse is weaker in some ways... But in others... Well, if the Entity didn't touch her power at all, she'd be waiting around seven full days before she can even touch anyone. That, and the only thing survivors would have to do to avoid her, is... literally just not watch her tape. They could just do all generators in her face, and so long as they don't look at a tv, be out of the trial for free against her. And even if they do look, they'll still be out of her trial, it'd just mean they'd die seemingly randomly during some other killer's trial who has no idea what just happened. So, yeah... I wouldn't put her under 'substantially nerfed' at all.

[@Perfect0n]

Xenomorph - Kept mostly the same. I think aside from peoples apparent forgetfulness of it, it was kept largely the same as before the realm, as it was given its own version of the ship's vents to crawl around in, and still has the same weakness to fire. Although, I do think it could be argued that It was slightly nerfed, as getting sprayed with fire for too long means it can't use its tail when logically, it would definitely still be able to use it's tail

[@theopendoorev]

realistically xeno would be like triple the speed it is in game and way more agile. ash called it the perfect organism for a reason

[@williamgrimm2452]

Any character that should be able to just break a pallet/wall by walking at it is greatly nerfed. Thinking of Nemesis specifically XD

[@valeriebreidenstein8362]

True. And don't forget Michael, who just walked through a very thick and strong glass door (hospital entrance door) and didn't even stagger or flinch. Now he can't even break a wooden door (breakable wall) or pallet without kicking it more than once, while he could do it with his hands in one hit. Nemi, Michael, Wesker and so many other licensed killers were greatly nerfed in that cathegory already, not to forget they are stunned by simple wooden pallets and glass shards (Decisive strike) when shrugging it off or not even reacting to it before the realm.

[@mad_jupiter3525]

Freddie went from a fucking god to a dude with a weird glove

[@Peachrocks5]

Sadako could very well still kill people in 7 days but in the context of the trials this ability is totally useless if the entity brings them back to life immediately after dying in this way. Also honestly any human killer outside of Wesker is buffed. They have unlimited endurance, can lift survivors relatively easily and are basically immortal. Survivors can never physically kill them, emotionally, well maybe :D. Blight can't agree. Sure its potential is great but probably has too many negative side effects for usage in the trials. He's also mentally lost which I think is a huge detriment to his overall strength. Huntress I think gains more then she loses. Immortality is one hell of a power. No matter how fast she was, if she got hit on the head with a pallet like she does, that'd knock her out at best, potentially kill her at worst. Also some of the survivors if outside the realm could probably beat her in a 1v1 fight. Skull Merchant the same, still think she was a massive missed opportunity with how much potential drones have but alas. Legion I think the general buffs improve them massively. Ain't no way any of them are lifting survivors as easily as they do or taking pallets to the head. I mean sure they don't get super natural abilities like teleporting, becoming harder to see or infectious puke on command but the fact someone like Oni is put on a different tier to them? Oni would probably beat all four of them put together outside the realm. I mean true his form is more aesthetically intimidating but in practice of what it can actually do? It's not that much stronger. I mean it's difficult to judge because it's all balanced for a game, because getting slashed with a sword is likely just as lethal as getting your head caved in but I think you have to look at what they were before and compare it to now.

[@saikyue4462]

I think vecna agreed to the nerf within the trials so its more fun for him as well, since he can freely leave the entitys realm at will since he teleports into it with his own portal. So i think hes only nerfed cuz he agreed to it within a trial, not inbetween

[@Dripslinger]

[@Byakugan888]

I will say the biggest thing to take into consideration is legions biggest nerf ever to their lore when being in the trials.... its just one of them. Outside the trials they were a quad! So thats definitely a huge nerf to them which makes sense why the entity would have to overcompensate for them because then it would be one regular teenager running around after people.

[@UndyingZombie]

Unfortunately you are incorrect about Chuky, as he got a huge nerf. I could see what you mean before specific movies and the TV show but not after as he became a lot stronger in those films and so forth. I also disagree when it comes to the Oni based on his lore alone. His ability to do damage and take damage was on the level of an actual Oni in Japanese mythology. So I would say he was not buffed, nor was he nerfed really depending on the kind of Oni he was.. Since some Oni can use magic and change their physical shape/form. However considering his lore I would say he is more like a normal kind of Oni, the ones that are almost impossible to kill along with having great strength and speed. So like I said, no change. ( He was like this BEFORE the entity took him. ) Hag was also not changed, its exactly like her lore as She was able to use magic in the way she was in her lore BEFORE the entity took her. ( If anything she might have even got a nerf. )

I thought Oni was already supernaturally strong even before becoming a slave to the entity . I mean this is the reason why Rim was able to beat her bullies senseless. The family possessed supernatural strength

and 2 nerfs for legion and Knight: Legion: they are alone in the trial knight: he is also alone, but can get for a short moment help from one of his friends

[@crimsonviper8872]

Some think that vecna let the entity nerf him cause he wanted to learn more about the entity, its realm and its magic

[@wowb1965]

Vecna can’t cast power word kill, no summons, no fireball But hey he can cast fly every 40 seconds. He just got turned into a warlock

[@fdhappy6930]

Freddy indeed has been through substantial nerfs, not just in lore.

[@samclayton628]

Gotta disagree on Slinger. The Entity MAD nerfed The Redeemer. Looking at the physics of that thing, it should basically be a guaranteed one shot kill anytime it hits the chest, stomach, or head. The only reason Caleb wasn't stacking bodies in lore was because he was actively trying to bring bounties in alive

[@TheUnknown_117]

Not technically a character, but William Birkin was greatly nerfed. Imagine Birkin infecting every survivor with G’s, or growing so big that he blocks the exit gate

[@TheJoker-my2xz]

I recall the devs mentioning the Entity nerfed Freddy because he'd instantly end trials

[@nathanellev3112]

15:47 You can mention feet as much as you want, but if you do just give us a feet tierliest comon :(

[@dankdaze42069]

"I think we did a pretty good job so far"-dunce developer... Wonder if there's any characters who let themselves be nerfed by the entity to be in the trials for fun

[@mrbenson9340]

Honestly I wanna know who'd win between every killer, both their lore accurate and in-game versions

[@vitkri526]

Oh no Entity shortened Nemesises tentacle :D how rude

[@belial1821]

Pyramid head is not nerfed he’s been buffed because the punishment of the damned is only in this game and never in silent hill

[@Renegade-re4vs]

Hey, now. I think the unknown was greatly nerfed, at least. In its lore it is said to exist purely as a concept- it cannot be proven to exist, as all proof vanishes before ever being found. This is the entire point of its lore, that it is unknowable, unseeable, anything that remembers it must die and never even fights back- simply no trace left behind. That's significantly stronger than an m203 grenade launcher

[@Renegade-re4vs]

Chucky was absolutely nerfed, seeing as he can't bodysnatch, use voodoo magic, turn others into dolls, etc.

[@Iilah-ah]

I'd say the unknown was probably heavily nerfed after entering the trials

[@randombozo9944]

I think the entity nerfed Vecna even more. Vecna is told to of been an extremely powerful wizard to a lich to a demigod to a greater god to a lesser god, so the entity gave him a HUGE nerf.

[@arcticknight017]

W...what are those names in the Lich match..are DBD players okay?
