Dead By Daylight Healing Perks And Builds

All Healing Perks in Dead by Daylight

With healing such a crucial part of Dead by Daylight, many of the games’ Survivor perks affect the healing mechanic, providing either bonuses to healing speed or better facilitating the circumstances in which healing can take place. Below are all the healing related perks in Dead by Daylight, including if they are Survivor-specific perks, and what each perk does for the healing process.

Dead by Daylight Healing Builds

There are two ways to go about creating a healing-centric build in Dead by Daylight, one that focuses primarily on healing oneself and one that focuses on healing the rest of the Survivor team. Regardless if the Survivor healer is looking to be self-centered or selfless, they should go into a game equipped with a medkit, preferably a ranger medkit or emergency medkit, which boost healing speed. The best add-ons for medkits include gel dressings, which significantly add to the number of charges for a medkit, while the antihemorrhagic syringe allows players to heal someone they’re healing with a medkit. More common medkit add-ons to consider using include gel dressing and gauze rolls, which boost healing speed and add healing charges, respectively.

Self-Healer Build

A healer looking out primarily for themselves should go in with the perks Self-Care, Strength in Shadows, Reactive Healing, and Desperate Measures, along with the medkit and add-ons. Self-Care and Strength in Shadows allow the Survivor to heal themselves without a medkit in the event they lose or use up their medkit, with the latter perk allowing them to heal faster in a basement than they would anywhere with Self-Care. Reactive Healing lets the player heal faster at their fellow Survivors’ expense, while Desperate Measures lets them heal faster as the team endures more damage over the course of the match.

Team Healer Build

More altruistic healers should go into a match with the perks Better Than New, Empathic Connection, We’ll Make It, and We’re Gonna Live Forever, along with a medkit and add-ons. Empathic Connection lets any injured Survivor know where the player is and boosts their healing speeds, while Better Than New buffs any Survivor healed by the player with that perk equipped. We’ll Make It offers players a boost to heal recently unhooked Survivors, similar to We’re Gonna Live Forever, which also gives the player Endurance to keep Killers on their toes. And those are the Dead by Daylight healing perks and builds. Dead by Daylight is available now.
