The Blight: Best Non-Teachable Build (2022)
The Blight is a great character for Dead by Daylight newcomers to unlock, especially those looking to play around with Hex Totem builds. The Blight has two fantastic Hex perks that help control the map and slow down cleansing, both of which are included in the following build:
Hex: Blood Favor (The Blight) – Injuring a survivor blocks all pallets from being pulled down within a 32–meter radius for 15 seconds. Hex: Undying (The Blight) – Once per trial, when a Hex Totem is cleansed, the effect of that Hex is transferred to another Totem. Furthermore, survivors standing within 4 meters of a Dull Totem have their auras revealed. Jolt (General Perk) – Downing a Survivor causes all generators within a 32–meter radius to lose 8% progress. Hex: No One Escapes Death (General Perk) – After the final generator is completed, all survivors suffer from the Exposed status ailment, and users gain a 4% Haste effect until the Hex Totem is cleansed.
The Blight: Best Build (2022)
Within Dead by Daylight’s current Gen-Lock meta, the most unforgiving build that a Blight can run involves severely slowing down generators with each hook using perks like Call of Brine and Eruption to maintain pressure on Survivors.
Corrupt Intervention (The Plague) – At the start of the trial, the 3 generators furthest from the killer’s starting location are blocked for 120 seconds or until the first survivor is downed. Call of Brine (The Onryo) – After kicking a generator, over the next 60 seconds it will regress at 200% normal speed, and each time a Survivor completes a skill check on it users will receive a noise notification. Eruption (The Nemesis) – After kicking a generator its aura will be highlighted in yellow. Upon downing a survivor, all highlighted generators will lose 10% progress and any survivors working on them will be subject to the Incapacitated status ailment for 25 seconds. Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance (The Artist) – Upon hooking a Survivor on one of four random white Scourge Hooks, the generator with the most progress loses 15% progress and begins to regress.
Dead by Daylight is currently available for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
