Dead by Daylight x Star Wars ? Discover the StarWeird, a terrifying cosmic creature
👋 Hello everyone,
I'd like to share a custom killer idea for Dead by Daylight. I've often seen people mention Star Wars as a potential licensed universe, with suggestions like Darth Vader as a killer. However, to me, Vader doesn’t fit DBD’s horror atmosphere. Otherwise, we might as well include Palpatine, Darth Malgus, Darth Nihilus, and so on...
That’s why I want to spotlight a truly terrifying creature from the Star Wars universe — one most people don’t even know about.
I present to you: The StarWeird.
🩸 Killer: The StarWeird – “The Apparition of the Void”
- Movement Speed: 4.4 m/s (slightly slower than average, like The Huntress)
- Terror Radius: 24 meters
- Height: Tall
👁️ Power – Void Scream
The StarWeird channels the silence of deep space to torment survivors’ minds.
• Psychic Wail (Active Ability):
Press the Power button to emit a silent scream. All Survivors within 32 meters hear it directly in their minds:
- Their screens distort for 4 seconds
- They gain the Disoriented effect (disabled skill sound cues, visual distortion, erratic skill checks)
- All action speeds (repair, heal, sabotage) are reduced by 10% for 6 seconds
- Cooldown: 30 seconds
• Gravitational Distortion (Passive Ability):
Injured survivors within 16 meters of the StarWeird move 5% slower.
However, the StarWeird cannot see scratch marks or blood trails within that radius.
🎁 Unique Perks – StarWeird
🌀 Echo of the Infinite
"Even when you think you've escaped, it's still there."
Each time a generator reaches 70% progress, all survivors see their own aura revealed to the killer for 4 seconds.
Cooldown: 60/50/40 seconds
🧠 Mind Shatter
"You no longer know what’s real. You don’t even know where you are."
Each time a survivor fails a skill check, they suffer Hemorrhage and Confusion for 20/25/30 seconds.
💀 Galactic Silence
"The void makes no sound. But it consumes all."
After hooking a survivor, your Terror Radius disappears for 16/18/20 seconds.
During this time, gain +4% movement speed.
