Dead by Daylight Tier List Pivotal Gamers November 17, 2020 No Comments 6014 views Features, Tier Lists Our DBD Tier List provides the best heroes, killers and survivors, you should focus on during the latest competitive season of the game. This list is based on ranked play so it features some popular and incredibly powerful heroes; heroes with value specifically in climbing for the majority of players.Since its initial release, back in 2016, Dead by Daylight consistently been one of the best survival horror games in the market. The game plays as asymmetric, one vs four, online multiplayer where one player takes on the role of the savage killer, and the other four players play as survivors, trying to escape the killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed. Each Killer and Survivor has their own deep progression system. Furthermore, players can customize their heroes with a variety of unlockables – earned via gameplay – that can be used to personalize each characters’ appearances and modify their abilities and stats providing more control and a deeper and more personalized experience. So it is obvious that Dead by Daylight centers around one thing – its heroes, which are the heart and soul of how you play the game.Dead by Daylight delivers a highly entertaining but also demanding environment. Although there is no such thing as the best hero in the game, since every player has their own play style, there are so many to choose from, each with their own unique abilities and perks. Furthermore the game allows some of them to shine more than others. So at first glance it can feel pretty daunting to decide which of these to select.Our Dead by Daylight Tier List aims to guide you select heroes that best fit in with your personal play style for achieving the best gaming experience available. Our RankingsS+ Tier – Very Overpowered S Tier – Overpowered, these heroes are dominant and excel to their play styles. They have seen enormous success in the pro competitive scene. If you want to win, you can never go wrong choosing any of them A Tier – Perfectly Balanced, these powerful heroes are popular choices. While not the very best, will often give you a slight edge if you select them since they are still viable for players of any skill and experience level B Tier – Slightly Underpowered, these heroes are average. They have a decent toolkits with no glaring disadvantages. What they lack in one skill they make up with another. While they will not give you an edge in battle, they will not hold you back either. C Tier – Underpowered, the use of these heroes is situational. Some of them are great against certain situations and environments, while others are simply less efficient than most heroes in the roster. Either way, these heroes are less common picks since to win a lot of matches you have to invest some time practicing their play style D/E Tier – Very Underpowered, these heroes are considered the weakest. Consider selecting another hero, unless you are experienced enough to utilize their skillset efficiently F Tier – Typically Useless HeroesDead by Daylight Character Tier ListAs mentioned earlier, DBD provides deep customization mechanics for killers and survivors alike. As such, knowing each hero play style and practicing to master their strategy are the building blocks to achieve victory. That is why we rank each hero based not only on individual raw power and popularity but also on their viability to win matches especially in the pro competitive scene.We update our DBD tier list frequently to reflect the latest game meta. Keep in mind that heroes placement inside a specific tier is NOT important. Heroes are positioned randomly within a specific tier thus their placement does not show that they are better or more popular than others in the same tier.
