Summary
Dead By Daylight’ssacrifice-hungry Entity has joined forces with the Dark Lord, Dracula fromCastlevania. Behaviour Interactive confirmed this accursed collaboration in early Augustafter months of hopeful speculation from the community.
Dracula has arrived from thepopular game franchise, Castlevania.This new Killer can take many forms, and this transformative ability will help him stalk his prey in The Fog as he takes on the form of either a wolf or a bat. His perks focus on slowing the speed at which the Obsession can repair generators, and interfere with any Survivors attempting to find items in chests or cleanse totems. With those perks and powers in mind, here are somebuilds that can help Dracula dominate inDead By Daylight.
4Best Dominance Perk Build
Dominate The Survivors
This may not seem like a particularly overpowered perk on its own but, when used with other perks, it can prove very useful indeed:
Dracula’sDominance perkcan be used to great effect when combined with Hex perks. When Survivors cleanse a totem for the first time in the match, they will notice Hex: Undying is in play. This will encourage them to keep cleansing to get rid of that pesky aura reading. As they cleanse, the Killer can quickly light totems again with Hex: Pentimento, slowing Survivor progress further. Survivors will want to keep cleansing to also remove those slowing effects. As long as the Killer is hooking Survivors, Hex: Devour Hope will be the game changer mid-game, and once Survivors realize that is the fourth perk, it will be too late.
3Best Hex: Wretched Fate Perk Build
Resigned To Their Fate
It is wretched indeed to be one of the fateful few to face the Dark Lord. This perk focuses on the Survivor marked as the Obsession and, when combined with more Hex perks and slow-down perks, can be pretty strong. Even if the Survivors areplaying with friends, this build is devastating:
Combining these fourHex perkscan leave the Survivors panicking as they attempt to figure out if they should cleanse or gen-rush. The Survivor marked as Obsession will already be slowed considerably by Hex: Wretched Fate, so add on top of that Hex: Pentimento, and their repairing and healing speed will move at a snail’s pace. This will prompt them to try and cleanse Wretched Fate, only to find the perks transferred to another totem thanks to Hex: Undying. That, or hey’ll cleanse Haunted Ground by mistake and expose their whole team, a conundrum that the Killer will undoubtedly revel in.
2Best Human Greed Perk Build
Revealing All Greedy Survivors
There is nothing more satisfying than taking advantage of Human Greed.Survivorslove to find and collect new items from chests, and Killers can use this to their advantage:
This build depends on the covetous nature of Survivors and their need to have a flashlight or toolbox in hand. Franklin’s is a classic perk that Survivors detest, as it hits whatever item they have out of their hand. Pair that with Weave Attunement for a perfect aura-reading build. If they pick up their item or try to get a new one from a chest, they will reveal their location thanks to Horder and Human Greed.
1Best End Game Build
On This Episode Of ‘Just Leave’…
Dracula comes with some fantastic add-ons that shouldn’t be overlooked when creatinga devastating perk build. One of the best Dracula add-ons is his Ultra Rare Alucard’s Shield which, when used with a spiteful end-game build like the one below, can cause absolute mayhem at the exit gates:
This classic end-game combo above is already devastating to Survivors, especially if they haven’t bothered cleansing totems. Combining all of those perks with Dracula’s Alucard’s Shield adds a whole other layer of nastiness to the proceedings. That Ultra Rare add-on spawns continuous pillars of flame inside the exit gate, harming Survivors who run through them. This extra help can mean the difference between Survivors escaping and trapping them all inside with Blood Warden.
