TFC characters playing Dead by Daylight
In a headcanon where we manage to convince the troupe to play DBD, this is how I imagine it would go.
This is part one of the post, I will post part two with Ticket Taker and Jester later.
For any typos or grammar mistakes please let me know! (English isn't my first language, Brazilian Portuguese is).
Little dbd explanation to those who never played the game:
Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer horror game where four survivors try to escape while one player takes on the role of the killer hunting them. The survivors must repair five generators scattered around the map to power the exit gates, while the killer tries to catch them, hook them (3 times to kill), and eliminate them before they can escape. Survivors can hide in lockers, run, use pallets to stun and windows to evade the killer, and work together to stay alive. I tried to explain perk behaviors to the best of my abilities.
As a survivor: If you’re also playing as a survivor, his life mission is to make sure you escape. Pierrot is following you close the whole match and would use perks that let him take protection hits, heal you faster, and trade hook states. Pookie must save your neck by all means.
Share the Burden: Trade 1 Hook State with another Survivor to their benefit.
He’d save this perk to use in your favor and take one of your hook stages for himself.
For the People: While healthy and healing another Survivor without a Med-Kit, use Active Ability Button 1 to heal them instantly. You take damage and become the obsession.
Again, he’d use this to pick you up from the dying state.
We’ll Make It: Whenever you unhook a Survivor, you heal other Survivors 100% faster.
Gotta save and patch you up before the killer comes back.
Background Player: Whenever the Killer picks up another Survivor, for the next 10 seconds, when you start running:
Gain 50% Haste for 5 seconds.
MUST RUN 3237692 MILES, BONK KILLER WITH A PALLET AND SAVE HIS LADY/LORD!!
Will bring a medkit to help him heal you even faster.
If you’re not in the match, he’ll use his perks to help the rest of the troupe (except Harlequin). He’ll still be sad about not playing with you, though.
If you play as the killer, Pierrot will play without perks. He doesn’t want to sandbag the rest of the troupe, but he also doesn’t want to see you sad if you lose. He thinks this is a good compromise, and even if you try to explain you wouldn’t be mad about losing and ask him to play properly, he’ll refuse and say he’s having fun anyways.
As killer: Plays as The Huntress, or as The Trickster, has insane aim, throws hatchets across the map and still gets a hit. If you didn't download the game for him you would think he downloaded an aimbot.
He is respectful about pallets, he doesn’t need to run through it in order to get a down.
He’d kill everyone except you, no hard feelings. Would 100% tunnel Harlequin and get him out of the match as quickly as possible. If he isn’t careful about it and Harlequin manages to evade him long enough, Ticket Taker WILL finish all the generators very fast. Either way by the end of it, he’d give you the hatch or carry you to one of the exit gates.
You have no choice. He’s never hurting his lady/lord, not even in a game.
As a survivor:
This little shit would 100% sandbag you and Pierrot. Expect him to drop your precious pallets while you’re trying to loop the killer, stand planted in doorways or right in your path to body block you, and of course miss every skill check just to blow up your generator and make it regress.
Diversion: After hiding within the Killer’s Terror Radius while crouched and idle, use Active Ability Button 1 to throw a pebble 20m away:
- The Killer is alerted.
- The pebble leaves Scratch Marks.
I don’t even have to say it. He’d keep throwing pebbles at you to snitch your position to the killer.
Red Herring: After repairing a Generator for at least 1 second:
- When you hide in a Locker, the Killer is alerted to the Generator.
He’d tap your generator for one second, run to the opposite side of the map, and activate the perk, blowing up your gen.
Mirrored Illusion: Press the Active Ability button next to a Chest, Exit Gate, Generator, or Totem to spawn a static illusion of your character.
Even though he loves annoying you, he also enjoys messing with the killer. He’d leave clones near a gen while hiding behind a rock, nearly losing it laughing when the killer tries to grab him. Of course, he’d also use it at an exit gate to trick you into going to the wrong (still closed) one. Honestly, why would you trust him?
Flashbang: When you use the Flashbang:
- Everyone nearby looking at the detonation is blinded.
- The Killer is alerted.
He’d craft one just to blind you mid-chase. Absolute menace.
If Pierrot is the killer, though: it’s like a switch flips. He is not letting him win, even if it means stopping the trolling and actually locking in to escape a VERY pissed Pierrot. Switches his whole troll build for a sweaty one.
Dead Hard: After being unhooked, while injured and running, use Active Ability Button 1:
- If the killer hits you, you don’t go down and instead enter the Mending state.
Pierrot is a good killer, so Harlequin must bring all the chase perks he can in order to survive.
Decisive Strike: After being unhooked, when the Killer picks you up, once per trial, hit a Special Skill Check:
- Stun the Killer for 4 seconds, and makes it drop you.
Pierrot is a good killer, so Harlequin must bring all the chase perks he can in order to survive²
Sprint Burst: Whenever you start running:
- Gain 50% Haste for 3 seconds.
Oh you better believe Harlequin gotta be running non stop…
Mirrored Illusion: He’d still run this one because rage-baiting Pierrot is just too good to pass up.
He’d also bring the highest-tier flashlight just to blind Pierrot, and probably rummage for another one once it runs out so he can keep doing it.
Professional hater activities.
As a killer: Would play as The Legion or Wesker, he likes the aesthetic, speed and easy mechanics of both killers. Tried to play Kaneki because of the tentacles, rage quit cuz he didn't understand the mechanics and killed no one in the match. You better hope he doesn’t learn how to, though, bro would be a force of nature.
His killer matches unfold in one of two ways: He either leaves you alone to go after Pierrot, or ignores everyone else and comes only after you, upsetting Pierrot in the process. Does not care about losing as long as he has at least one of you dead at the hook. Will face camp your hook to force Pierrot to trade hooks with you and eventually kill him this way.
As a survivor: Well… Doctor plays exactly like a doctor. All his perks revolve around keeping his teammates alive as efficiently as possible. The moment one of you gets hooked, he’s already on his way to patch you up.
Do No Harm: While healing another Survivor:
- For each Hook State they have, you heal 30/40/50% faster.
- Landing Great Skill Checks grants an additional 3% progress.
You have no idea how fast this bird can get you from bleeding out on the floor to back on your feet.
Empathic Connection: You heal other Survivors 25/30/35% faster.
- Injured Survivors can see your Aura.
He runs this perk so that whenever any of you are hurt, you can spot him from anywhere on the map and run straight to him for proper care.
Adrenaline: When all Generators are completed:
- Instantly heal if you are injured or downed, and gain 50% Haste for 3 seconds.
In the endgame, he doesn’t have time to heal himself, he needs to be wherever his teammates are, taking protection hits and making sure everyone gets out.
Reassurance: Once per Hook State, while within 6 meters of a hooked Survivor, use Active Ability Button 2 to pause the sacrifice progress.
He mostly uses this against Harlequin, since he’s the only one who tends to camp hooked teammates.
When Harlequin isn't the killer, switches Reassurance for We'll make it.
Always brings the highest-tier medkit he has available, along with the best addons for it.
Bonus: Spends money and buys the Iron Maiden skins… Says he plays better with it.
As a killer: He plays as The Doctor (no pun intended) or The Clown (no pun intended²) , he enjoys using area control to slow everyone down, making it harder for you to gain distance or safely drop pallets.
He pays close attention to disturbed crows, so you’d better move carefully around them if you don’t want him tracking your location.
He never respects pallets, he will keep pressing W and walking through it like an absolute unit.
If he catches Harlequin sandbagging one of you, he will punish him and go after him immediately. Aside from that, he tries to play fair, spreading hooks across the team instead of hard focusing anyone. The one exception is Ticket Taker: Doctor knows he can’t leave him unattended for too long, or the generators will start flying.
