hello everyone,

I really enjoy Dead by Daylight and I’d love to share some ideas for new Killers and also a small improvement suggestion for the game. Maybe some of this could inspire future content:

Killer Suggestion 1: Harley Quinn – “The Chaotic”

  • Weapon: Her iconic baseball bat.
  • Power – “Acrobat of Madness”:
    • Harley can perform a cartwheel strike that knocks Survivors down when she flips forward.
    • Survivors nearby get disoriented by her insane laugh (a short confusion effect, similar to a mini-stun).

  • Special Ability: She can throw a smoke bomb, limiting Survivors’ vision for a few seconds.

Perk Ideas:

“Contagious Madness” – After being stunned (e.g. pallet), the Survivor applies a 5% healing and repair speed penalty to themselves for 8/10/12 seconds.

  1. “Unpredictable” – When injuring a Survivor, a false Killer aura appears at a random location for 4 seconds.
  2. “Play Instinct” – Survivors who complete a generator near you immediately scream.

🎈 Killer Suggestion 2: Pennywise / IT – “The Dancer”

‱ Weapon: A heavy clown mallet.

  • Power – “Dance of Balloons”:
    • Pennywise can place red balloons that explode when touched, causing Survivors to scream and slow down for 4 seconds.
    • He can teleport to balloons to surprise Survivors.
    • Special move: He can briefly make a Survivor float (“We all float down here”), costing them time.
  • Special Effect: Balloons near hooks distort Survivors’ HUD/Auras for 5 seconds, making rescues harder.

Perk Ideas:

  1. “Child’s Fear” – Survivors working alone repair 4/6/8% slower.
  2. “Nightmare Stage” – After a 15-second chase, the Survivor hears heartbeat sounds for 10 seconds, even if you stopped chasing them.
  3. “Dancing Shadows” – Generators you kick briefly show false Killer auras.

Killer Suggestion 3: The Joker – “The Anarchist

  • Weapon: Knife or crowbar.
  • Power – “Insane Laughter”:
    • Joker can unleash a creepy laugh that makes Survivors within range scream (revealing their aura).
    • His laughter has multiple tones, so Survivors never know if he’s close or far away.
    • Special Ability: He can place a laughing gas trap. Survivors stepping into it have distorted vision and slower actions for 6 seconds.

Perk Ideas:

  1. “Chaos Rules” – After a generator is completed, fake heartbeat sounds play everywhere for 6/8/10 seconds.
  2. “Schadenfreude” – When a Survivor heals another, the healer screams.
  3. “Endless Laughter” – Survivors in your terror radius scream randomly every 20/18/15 seconds

Improvement Suggestion: Shard System

To make gameplay more rewarding and exciting, it would be amazing if special/event Killers like Harley, Pennywise or Joker came with a unique shard bonus feature:

  • Survivors who face these Killers could earn shards more easily (e.g. for triggering balloons, being hit by the cartwheel, or entering laugh gas).
  • This would make these matches extra attractive and fun, without being pay-to-win.
  • It would also make the grind less painful and encourage people to play against these Killers more often.
