With such a huge roster of original and classic horror creatures and killers, players have a bounty of options to satisfy their bloodlust. However, one of the strongest killers in the game, is one of the original members of the cast, The Nurse. A killer so powerful she has received a necessary rework to tone her down a notch to fit the level of the rest of the cast. However, even with this rework, the nurse is still one of the strongest killers in the cast with a toolkit so useful that she will always terrorize survivors no matter the meta. This guide will explain how to play the Nurse effectively and the basic gameplan when using the charac
Huntress – The Huntress is one of the killers that plays much smoother on PC than console. The Huntress has no fancy Entity-gifted power, but instead she excels at throwing hatchets. This means that if players are great at arcing throws and calculating distance, they can be quite lethal with the Huntress. She is one of the few killers that really is skill-based, so if players want to play the Huntress well they will need to pract
The Nurse’s ability is relatively simple to wrap your head around. However, that is not to underplay the character’s strength, as this one ability is what solidifies the character as among the best in the g
The first, and by far the most important, part of playing the Nurse is to truly have a feel for a map’s layout before playing the killer. As the majority of her toolkit revolves around being able to quickly and rapidly cut off fleeing survivors with Spencer’s Last Breath. There will be shortcuts or particular paths that can give the character an edge in hunting the survivors and learning these routes will up your success rate with the character. So be sure to memorize the location of a map’s generators, shortcuts, pallets, and overall layout so hunting will be much eas
Michael Myer’s first ability is his Stalking ability, which allows Michael to see a white outline of any Survivor in his sight. Explaining the use of this ability is rather complicated, as it provides some rather obscure utility to Myer’s playstyle that is deeply connected to his other ability, Evil Within. But this Stalk ability is the foundation of Michael Myer’s playstyle and is what makes the character such an intimidating and deadly threat in a ma
Asymmetrical games, on the other hand, are competitive games in which one or more player has drastically different power level and set of tools from the other players. Games like dead by daylight chaos shuffle by Daylight , Predator: Hunting Grounds , and Evolve have done an excellent job in creating asymmetrical worlds where both sides have wildly different power levels, objectives, and playstyles, effectively creating two games in
Trapper – One of the original killers in Dead by Daylight , the Trapper specializes in placing bear traps around the map that will trap survivors. The ability is simple but unfortunately survivors can manually trip the traps as to not step in them and it’s frustrating to constantly keep re-arming the traps. Overall, the Trapper needs a hard buff to keep him in line with the other top-tier kill
These are among the most common outcomes to a match in these kinds of games, and one would be hard-pressed to find two matches that ever play out in the same way. With such distinct possible outcomes, how exactly does one measure succ
The Nurse gets a lunge when attacking out of Blink which can be great for hitting unsuspecting survivors or those on the run. The Nurse’s perks are some of the strongest in the game. While Stridor only makes survivor’s groans louder, Nurse’s Calling and Thanatophobia are both powerful – one for tracking survivors and one for slowdown. Her Blink stun is a bit hard to get used to, but once a player masters it the power can be quite dea
As you level up your Evil Within gauge Michael goes through three levels of Evil Within. The first provides Michael with an undetectable effect which limits his terror radius completely. When you upgrade to Evil Within tier-two Michael gains access to increased vaulting speed. However, if Michael Myers gets into Evil Within tier-three the character gains access to an increased lunge range and an instant down knife attack. Allowing Myers to down any Survivor with a single attack. Making the tedious road to get to Evil Within tier-three worth the time investm
There is a healthy balance of give and take on both sides, and in the end, one side is victorious by a narrow margin. This could mean that a killer or hunter does a lot of damage to the team (multiple hooks or downs, but no kills), or that all objectives are complete, only for everyone to die right before escap
When a survivor cleanses in a pool, the Plague can use that pool to get Corrupt Purge which will damage survivors when the Plague throws up on them. The Plague is certainly interesting to play as but if players are just putting up with the corruption instead of cleansing it then the Plague is severely limited in terms of options. However, a recent buff makes it so she can always get at least one pool of Corrupt Purge in a match so at least she isn’t completely powerless when no survivor’s clea
