Dead by Daylight PTB Patch 8.0.0 – Dungeons & Dragons Crossover Chapter

Dead by Daylight has had a series of well-handled crossovers recently, from The Alien to Chucky. The latest chapter, which features Dungeons & Dragons characters, is one of the most interesting (and authentic-feeling) crossovers to date. The new Killer is a classic DnD villain, a Lich, who uses a Spell Book to cast Mage Hand and Fly around the map; the Survivor is a Bard who can cast illusions and even has a Perk that sees you rolling a D20 die. So far, it’s looking like a really true-to-Dungeons & Dragons chapter, and we can’t wait to get our hands on the new characters. Check out our TL;DR below, or read on to see the full patch notes for 8.0.0!

New Survivor – Aestri Yazar

New Survivor Perks

Mirrored Illusion

This perk activates after completing a total of 50% worth of repair progress on generators.
Press the ability button 2 when next to a totem, chest, generator or exit gate to spawn a static illusion that lasts for 100/110/120 seconds.
Then, the perk deactivates.

Bardic Inspiration

Press the ability button 1 while standing and motionless to enter the “performance” interaction that lasts up to 15 seconds and empowers Survivors within 16 meters. Roll a d20. This effect lasts for 60 seconds if the performance is completed.
When the ability is cancelled or the performance completes, it goes on cooldown for 90/75/60 seconds.
1 | You scream, but nothing happens
2-10 | skill checks give +1% progress
11-19 | skill checks give +2% progress
20 | skill checks give +3% progress

Still Sight

After standing still for 6/5/4 seconds, this perk activates.
Until you start moving, you see the aura of the Killer as well as all generators and chests within 18 meters.

New Killer – The Lich

Killer Power
Bound with the skin and flesh of men, the Book is packed with spells both forbidden and wicked.
To select a Spell, hold the Ability Button to open the Spell selection. The Lich has access to 4 different Spells:

Mage Hand: Creates a magical hand that lifts a downed pallet or blocks an upright pallet for 4 seconds.
Flight of the Damned: Conjures 5 flying spectral entities that can pass through obstacles and injure Survivors.
Dispelling Sphere: Casts a moving invisible sphere that reveals Survivors and temporarily disables their Magic Items.
Fly: Gain a flying speed for a short period of time, allowing you to travel a long distance quickly and move over vaults and pallets.

SPECIAL ITEM: MAGIC ITEMS
Treasure Chests found around the map can contain Magic Items. Each Survivor can equip up to two Magic Items at once: one pair of Boots and one pair of Gauntlets. These Magic Items are each connected to a specific Spell, and activate when The Lich casts that spell.

Boots/Gauntlets of the Interloper: The Survivor sees the aura of pallets affected by Mage Hand and gains Haste for 3 seconds.
Boots/Gauntlets of the Nightwatch: The Survivor can see the auras of the spectral entities conjured by Flight of the Damned.
Boots/Gauntlets of the Archivist: The Survivor can see the Dispelling Sphere.
Boots/Gauntlets of the Skyguard: The Survivor can see The Lich’s aura during Fly and for a few seconds after.

SPECIAL ITEMS: HAND & EYE OF VECNA
Rarely, Survivors can instead find the Hand or Eye of Vecna in a Treasure Chest. When picked up and used, Survivors gain a special ability while at full health. Using one of these special abilities costs the Survivor a health state and reveals their location with Killer Instinct for 3 seconds.

Hand of Vecna: When doing a Fast Locker Entry, the Survivor is teleported to a further locker.
Eye of Vecna: When doing a Fast Locker Exit, the Survivor cannot be seen by The Lich and gains Haste for 12 seconds.
