Why should you level up these survivors first when you play Dead by Daylight?
In this article, we are gonna be talking about 10 best survivors in Dead by Daylight. Here you can find which survivors have the best perks and what are the pros and cons of each survivor.
10. FENG MIN
Feng Min is a survivor that came packed in Spark of Madness DLC with a brand new map the Léry's Memorial Institute and new killer called the Doctor. She can be bought with real-world money or can be earned through in-game currency. She is one of the best survivors for beginners because of her two perks called Technician and Alert. The technician is a perk that is useful the most if you are not good at hitting that damn skill checks. On the other hand, Alert can be used as an information perk because whenever killer breaks something it shows you his aura, even if you are across the map.
Feng Min excels at :
- Making new survivors at completing gens more useful
- Showing you where the killer is when she is kicking things.

9. NANCY WHELLER
Nancy Wheler is a survivor that has one of the best and underrated perk. She came with a DLC of Stranger Things along with Demogorgon and Steve Harrington.
She has one of the most underrated perks in the whole game. Her perk, Inner Strength is a perk that gives her self-healing ability after she cleanses a totem and jumps in the locker. Fixated is also a perk that people rarely use but is very useful because you are quicker at walking and you don't have to use your sprint burst.
Nancy Wheler excels at :
- making solo more confident because they can heal themselves after cleansing a totem and so not relying on other survivors for healing
- using her perk Fixated with another perk Sprint Burst which gives her quicker walk speed and so you have Sprint Burst always ready

8. ADAM FRANCIS
Looking for a way to unhook yourself but other survivors just don't have or courage to do it? Fear no more because Adam Francis is on the way to get off the hook by yourself.
Adam Francis is a survivor that has one of the best perks but he rarely has a chance to use them or game is over before the can become useful. His perk Autodidact can heal other survivors faster by completing skill checks. Deliverance is a great perk that needs to be activated first by unhooking one survivor safely before you get first hooked.
His last perk Distraction can get you killed you more often than being saved. It is usually used by somebody who just wants to troll the killer.
Adam Francis excels at :
- getting teammates faster heals if you use Autodidact
- getting unhooked by yourself after you unhook somebody safely

7. JAKE PARK
Jake park is one of the original survivors and has one of the most useful perks in the whole game, called Iron Will. But his other perks are less useful. Iron Will is a perk that is used by a lot of players because players who are hurt make zero noise. It is widely used by people who play sneaky and people who don't want to be heard when they are injured because it can really make a difference. His other perks are far less useful but his perk Saboteur is a perk that gives you an option to disable hooks without toolbox but it takes you more time and is a cooldown after you disable hook.
Jake Park excels at :
- disabling hooks without toolbox with his perk Saboteur
- making zero noise and evading a killer with perk Iron Will

6. DWIGHT FAIRFIELD
Dwight Fairfield is one of the original survivors and is often named to be one of the most scared and nervous survivors and that he hides whole game in the locker.
His perks do show that he is a powerful team leader. His perk, Bond shows survivors who are 32 meters close to him which can he then use his perk Prove Thyself which gives speed bonus of 15% on any action that survivors are doing together. Prove Thyself is a perfect perk if you are playing with friends and you know where everywhere are. His perk Leader is a lot less useful and I don't recommend using it.
Dwight Fairfield excels at :
- completing gens a lot more quickly with Prove Thyself
- finding your fellow survivors with perk Bond

5. WILLIAM BILL
William Bill is a survivor that was as added as a standalone character. He has one of the best and most used perks in the game but also one of the worst perks in the game.
His perk Unbreakable is one of the most used because of the power of picking yourself up. His other perk which is called Borrowed Time is great because it grants hooked survivor another hit if he is getting camped by the killer. The perk must be activated in the killer terror radius.
His worst perk and probably in the game is called Left Behind. It shows you where the aura of the hatch but it can be only used for that and that is not even that useful.
William Bill excels at :
- helping people who are being camped by perk Borrowed Time
- getting himself up with Unbreakable if a killer is chasing another survivor or he leaves you on the ground

4. DAVID KING
David King is a survivor which came with one of the most used perks in the whole game. His perk is used by best survivors but he has also one of the worst perks in the game.
Dead Hard is his teachable perk and is being used the most in the category of exhausted perks. His other perk We are Gonna Live Forever is used mostly by people who need to farm blood points.
His last perk is No Mither which is one of the worst perks in the whole game. You can pick yourself up, produce 50% less noise and you don't leave any blood but you are also always wounded, have a timeless broken effect and the killer knows you have a perk.

Laurie Strode is a first licensed survivor who came with a Halloween DLC which originates from movie Halloween 1978. People who play as killer hate her most used perk in the game.
Her perk Decisive Strike allows you stun a killer 60 seconds after you get unhooked. Many people hate Decisive Strike because they think its too strong and makes game to easy for survivors. Her other perk Object of Obsession is used by survivors who want to get chased throughout the whole game and is most commonly used by people who play with friends.
Her last perk Sole Survivor is one of the worst and is rarely used.

1. MEG THOMAS
Meg Thomas is one of the best survivors to play and has one of the best perks in the game. Her teachable is the best in the game so beginners should unlock them as soon as possible.
The most used perk in the game Sprint Burst is widely considered by the community to be one of the best. It gives you a momentarily speed boost after you start running for 3 seconds so that you can reach a window or a pallet. Her other perk Adrenaline heals you for one health state and gives you a 3-second speed boost after all gens are completed but it also gives you an exhaustion status so in that time you can not use Dead Hard or any other exhaustion perk.
Quick and Quit makes you that when you vault or get in a locker quickly it produces zero sound but it has a cooldown of 30 seconds. Its best used with perk Head On.
Meg Thomas excels at :
- Running from a killer with a Sprint Burst
- Escaping a hook or a down with an Adrenaline when gens are completed
- getting through vault or locker quickly and confusing the killer when it makes zero sound
