The new killer and the new survivor in Dead by Daylight are here. We will tell you what the killer “Oni” and Yui can do.
After the trailer for the new chapter “Cursed Legacy” was released yesterday, the PTB followed shortly thereafter. On this test server, you can already play as Oni and the new survivor Yui. We will reveal what abilities and perks the new characters bring with them.
What can the killer “Oni” do? At the beginning of the match, the Oni is a basic killer without any special abilities. He has to rely entirely on his normal melee attacks.
However, this changes once Oni hits a survivor. He then gains a large amount of blood and builds up his ability. Already wounded survivors leave additional blood orbs every few seconds (or when using objects) that Oni can absorb.
Once his ability is fully charged, Oni can activate his “Blood Fury”. This grants him two new abilities.
- Demon Dash: Oni accelerates after a short charging time and then sprints away. It is more difficult to steer him around corners, but he can still take steps sideways to correct his running direction. He does not collide with objects and can run as long as the Blood Fury lasts.
- Demon Strike: With a powerful blow from his mace, survivors are knocked to the ground in one hit. This strike can be used during the “Demon Dash”, has a greater range, and needs to be charged briefly.
If Oni knocks a survivor down, the ability ends and he must collect blood again.
These are the perks of the killer The Oni: Like all killers, Oni comes with three of his own perks. These are initially exclusive to Oni but can later be unlocked for other killers through the blood web:
- Zanshin Tactics: The aura of all pallets and climbing spots is revealed within a radius of 24 meters. This perk has a cooldown of 40/35/30 seconds when a survivor is injured.
- Blood Echo: When a survivor is hooked, all other injured survivors are affected by the Hemorrhage effect (increased bleeding) until they are healed. Additionally, they are affected by Exhaustion for 45 seconds.
- Nemesis: Each time a new survivor becomes the obsession, that survivor’s aura is revealed for 4 seconds. Additionally, the obsession is affected by Oblivious for 40/50/60 seconds (they cannot hear the terror radius).
These are the perks of the survivor Yui Kimura: Like all survivors, Yui also has three of her own perks that she starts the game with. However, these can be taught to other survivors. The perks are:
- Lucky Break: This perk activates every time the survivor is injured. For the first 120/150/180 seconds, the survivor leaves no blood trails. The perk is disabled for the rest of the round once the full duration has expired.
- Any Means Necessary: At a thrown pallet, you can use a skill to set the pallet back up for 3 seconds. This skill has a cooldown of 160/140/120 seconds.
- Breakout: As long as the survivor is within 6 meters of a survivor being carried by the killer, their movement speed increases by 5%/6%/7%. The carried survivor can escape the killer’s grasp 20% faster.
When will the characters be released? The chapter “Cursed Legacy” is currently on the PTB, so on the test server. It will take another 2-3 weeks until the release, probably in early to mid-December.
What do you think of the two new characters and their abilities? Cool and definitely something new? Or are the perks and abilities too weak or boring?
