Dead By Daylight: 5 Reasons The Legion Is The Best Killer (& 5 Reasons They're Not)

To be fair there are a lot of arguments to be made for both sides and whether Legion is the best, worst, or mediocre killer in this horror game is largely up to you. Here are some arguments for and against why the Legion is the best killer in the game to help you decide for yours

A new killer means three new perks which can be taught to all other killers, and can be more impactful to the meta of the game than the killer alone. The first is Gearhead, an information perk that has been nerfed since its first reveal in the beta. Put simply, as players must first hit two basic attacks to activate, its duration has been reduced considerably from 45 to 30 seconds at maximum rank, and now only applies to good skill checks instead of all, there is little benefit to using Gearhead relative to the other information perks mentioned ab

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

The Oni's design forces the character to have very slow starts to matches. His primary mechanic focusing around dishing out damage to survivors can be problematic when facing a group of skilled and evasive survivors. This can lead to some rather glacial matches for the Oni if he is unable to successfully initiate his offense. So until an Oni player can start his offense it is important that the player should be diligent and patient when hunting down the surviv

An unoriginal but effective solution that Dead by Daylight has recently incorporated is the Battle Pass system, known as The Rift. This provides yet another method of quantifying individual success even when winning through traditional objectives is not achieved, and it is fantastic in its implementat

Dead By Daylight Tips Man's Switch is the second new perk, and there is certainly potential for usefulness here with certain killers. Since the perk only activates when hooking the Obsession, it all but requires pairing with the Nemesis perk to constantly have a stream of viable targets. Otherwise, the most value one could get from this perk is three activations, and that would require either a bit of luck playing optimally, or tunneling and camping a single survi

Given the Nurse's relatively simple toolset it may come across as easy to excel with the character, however, this is not the case. Although Spencer's Last Breath is simple in theory it takes a master Nurse player to unlock the moves true potential. Here are some essential tips and tricks to master the Nurse's distinguishing ability, and the best way to utilize the powerful ability in the context of a match of Dead by Dayli

Provided his slow starts to matches, the Oni is rather reliant on the previously mentioned perks to succeed in hunting down survivors. So if a player has no access to the mentioned perks they will notice a difficulty in initiating the oppressive offense of the Oni. It is almost too reliant on these perks to succeed online. However, that is not to say that the Oni cannot be successful without the mentioned perks, but Oni almost certainly is unoptimized without them. So be sure to grind until these perks are at your disposal to truly optimize your Oni p

Gearhead is further limited because it does not activate from special attacks, such as either Leatherface or Hillbilly’s chainsaw, or hatchets thrown by the Huntress, and is all but counterproductive outside of certain M1 killers. Even in select builds, the conditions required to gain any information are simply too demanding compared to something like Discordance, which offers what could be argued as superior information with no input needed from the kil

This may or may not be a priority for you, but if you’re keen on having a high killer ranking this season then give Legion another look. They’re great at gaining points with Chaser and sometimes Malici

Since Hex: Retribution causes the Oblivious status in survivors that cleanse dull totems and reveals the location of all survivors when cleaning a Hex totem, pairing both perks together will force players to think twice about cleansing anything, and the same could be said about other Hex perks like Haunted Grounds, Ruin, and others. It’s usefulness will depend on rank and survivor coordination, and what else can be paired with it. At the very least, the popular use of NOED makes this a decent perk to use, even if only sparingly to keep survivors guess

Natural Selection 2 pit two opposing teams of players, aliens and marines, against each other. Marines utilized ranged combat with mostly guns, while alien players moved at a quicker pace, could move along walls, and were dependent on melee attacks. Natural Selection 2 's predecessor was actually a mod for the original Half Life , dating back to 2002, which could potentially signal the origins of the asymmetrical online genre of multiplayer gam
