DBD Killer & Survivor Pages: 88 Characters With Powers and Perks
Each of the 40 killers and 48 survivors in Dead by Daylight now has a dedicated page. Power, unique perks, tier, and add-ons are together in one shareable view.
Whether you are picking up a new character or refining your main, you get consistent context and direct links to builds, perks, and data that help you decide faster.
Explore them at/dead-by-daylight/data/killers and/dead-by-daylight/data/survivors.
Learning characters has always meant stitching information together from different places. One page explains a killer's power, another lists unique perks, and a third guesses at tier placement. For 88 characters that is not just inefficient, it makes it harder to build confidence with any one playstyle.
The new killer and survivor pages put each character on a single, structured surface. Open any of the 40 killer pages and you see power, unique perks, and add-on links together. Open any of the 48 survivor pages and you see unique perks and the ties that matter for survivor team play. Every page is shareable, so you can send someone exactly what you see without extra explanation.
This matters whether you play both sides or specialize. Killer players can compare powers before investing, survivor players can quickly understand which perks a new teammate brings, and everyone can move from character research to practical loadouts without losing the thread.
Why This Matters
Character knowledge compounds. Knowing that Trapper controls with traps and information, that Spirit relies on phasing and sound, or that Dwight supports the team with Bond-style assistance changes which perks you should actually run. When that context is spread across disconnected sources, you fall back to generic builds that do not leverage the character's strengths.
Survivor pages solve a quieter but equally real problem. With 48 survivors, many players pick by look or license affinity and miss that each survivor brings three unique perks that can shape an entire approach. Seeing those perks next to the character, with tier and links, makes the choice intentional rather than cosmetic.
Put together, 88 dedicated pages give you a stable reference. You can compare two killers in adjacent tabs, check which add-ons modify a power, or decide which survivor to prestige next based on perk value rather than guesswork. Over time that consistency turns into faster queue decisions and more satisfying progression.
What You Can Do With Killer and Survivor Pages
Start from the hubs at Killers and Survivors and drill into any character when you are ready to go deeper.
- Open any of the 40 killer pages to see power, linked add-ons, unique perks, and tier placement in one view.
- Open any of the 48 survivor pages to see unique perks with direct links to their full detail pages.
- Jump to the Killer Powers Database from any killer page when you want the full mechanics behind the power.
- Cross-check perks by tier and description before you prestige or spend Bloodpoints on a new character.
- Load a character's perks into Build Creator and build a complete loadout with a shareable URL for your next session.
- Explore add-ons for that killer or item to see which modifications pair best with the power you just reviewed.
Every link is bidirectional. You can move from killer to power to add-on to perk and back without retyping names or starting your search again, which keeps multi-character comparisons quick.
How to Use It
Pick your path based on whether you are expanding your roster or optimizing a main:
- Choose your goal: learn a new character or improve results with your current one.
- Open Killers or Survivors and select the character you want to evaluate.
- Read the power and unique perks together, then follow links to perk detail pages for full tier and effect text.
- Compare add-ons for killer powers or perk synergies for survivors using the linked databases.
- Build and save the loadout in Build Creator so the next time you queue the setup is already ready.
If you are deciding between two killers, open both pages side by side. The shared layout makes it easy to spot which power fits your preferred pressure style and which perk unlocks give you more value beyond the current character.
Where to Go Next
Character pages are hubs. Use them to reach the tools that turn knowledge into trials:
- Dead by Daylight Toolkit Home for all builds, tier lists, and databases.
- Database Hub to move between killers, survivors, powers, perks, and add-ons.
- Tier Lists to compare killer and perk tiers before you invest resources.
- Perks Database for the full set of 283 perk detail pages.
- Survivor Builds and Killer Builds for presets you can load straight into Build Creator.
Final Notes
We will keep all 88 pages updated as licenses, chapters, and balance changes arrive. The structure is built to absorb new characters without breaking the links between character, power, perk, and add-on.
Start with your main, then pick one character you have avoided. Open both pages at Killers or Survivors, note which unique perks are worth unlocking, and queue with a single clear improvement in mind.
If you spot a missing perk, power link, or tier note, email [email protected]. We use those reports to keep the character data accurate for everyone.
