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

man-sitting-on-roof-top-holding-light.jpgAs we've already mentioned several times, gameplay in Dead by daylight killer Guide by Daylight is full of variety. It is difficult for the gameplay to get stale so early because of the many survivors and killers. The 18 killers and 20 different survivors add endless possibilities. Each killer and survivor is also equipped with their own unique perks that can be unlocked for others later. Even though the gameplay may be stacked against the survivors, the challenge is very reward

The Demogorgon is allowed 6 portals to be in the arena at a time. This allows the killer a wide variety of options to dominate the map space and to lock down certain key areas of the map. The portals are invisible to survivors until they have been "activated" which then allows survivors the chance to destroy the portals. To activate a portal a Demogorgon simply has to travel to that portal from another portal, this activates both of the portals used to travel. Once activated the tunnels become visible to the survivors and can be destroyed. However, once activated the Demogorgon has the ability to see a survivor's aura once they are close to an activated portal. This provides the creature with some powerful recon abilities in a ma

The Demogorgon's "of the abyss" special moves allows the creature to create portals which allow him to navigate the map rapidly. These portals are tunnels which allow the creature to access the "upside-down" and maneuver without detection to an already created tunnel. This allows the Demogorgon to be undetectable as he travels and provides the creature with an unparalleled map presence and cont

To make Legion successful, a player simply needs to make use of his overwhelming strengths and sharpen them with useful perks. The combination of these mentioned quirks with his already oppressive Feral Frenzy makes this Killer one of the most offensive in the game. A perfect Killer for players who prefer a highly offensive and rush down oriented play sty

With that in mind, the Deathslinger needs to apply pressure to generators and survivors, using their ability carefully as reloading wastes time. While it may sound obvious to say pressure is necessary, killers like Freddy Krueger, The Hag, Hillbilly, and Demogorgon all have ways to quickly traverse the map, while the Deathslinger has only his default movement speed. The good news is that his ability, if used properly, is excellent for anti-looping, saving time in a fruitless ch

Players will therefore find that playing the Deathslinger feels a bit like playing Leatherface in that with a little bit of bad luck, matches will fly by if one cannot keep up pressure on both generators and survivors. Since the Deathslinger lacks mobility, perks that slow the game down will be necessary, such as Corrupt Intervention for the start of the game, and some manner of information perk throughout the match, like BBQ & Chili, Surveillance, Discordance, Thrilling Tremors, or whatever a player pref

The best scenario for Legion is when the survivors have all clustered together. Whether it’s working together on the same generator, healing each other’s wounds, or getting someone off the hook it’s a golden opportunity for this kil

The Legion is rather small when compared to other killers which is great for messing with survivors. Instead of a lumbering oaf like the Hillbilly charging down hallways which makes it easy for everyone to see where you are, you’ll be darting between shadows and hiding behind various objects to spring an amb

Furthermore, being able to hook and kill every survivor is a challenge on its own. Players have the ability to play as a survivor or killer which are two different games on their own. Killers have no worry in the world while the survivors are having the biggest anxiety attack of their life. The juxtaposition of these two sides makes for an exciting g

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

These moments create jump scares that are not planned by the developers. They simply occur from the community. Additionally, getting chased down by a killer and seeing the red light slowly appear on your back gives you goosebumps and a shi

Players who are uninjured and hit in this way take a Deep Wound and must then mend, whereas injured players will be downed. Once impaled, survivors can struggle to break free and speed the process up if they can put something between themselves and the killer, including other survivors. Breaking free in this way stuns the Deathslinger for a mom

Without a doubt, the "Chains of Hate" DLC brings a welcome addition to Dead by Daylight with the introduction of the Deathslinger. This is not to say that the killer will be a top-tier choice for wiping out entire teams of survivors with ease, but rather that the design is unique, interesting, and most importantly, accessible for most play
