Dead by Daylight is a 4v1 horror game where four survivors try to escape from a deadly killer controlled by the fifth user. The game features various killers and original characters, each with their own unique abilities and play styles.
At first sight, it may look like it is not quite fair when 1 player plays against 4, but the game is balanced in such a way that the chances of both teams are equal. And in this guide, players will learn how to play Nicolas Cage in Dead By Daylight, one of the recently added survivors.
How To Use Nicolas Cage in Dead by Daylight
So recently, the game's developers added a new playable character, Nicolas Cage. Also, they released a whole trailer in which they briefly talked about his pros and showed some of his gameplay features. And below, players will learn more about this character and how to use him.
To begin with, Nicolas Cage is a survivor, and in addition to the skin of the famous American actor, he received some interesting perks in the game. Understanding these perks is very important, as this is what makes all the characters in Dead By Daylight different. So let's take a look at these unique perks:
Dramaturgy
Activated when healthy and running. When the perk is activated, players gain 25% more speed for 2 seconds. Using this perk, players may encounter random effects. Here is a list of them:
- Exposure for 12 seconds
- Speed boost
- A random rare item with add-ons
It should also be noted that these effects cannot be repeated twice in a row. The cooldown of this perk is 1 minute.
Best Use
Dramaturgy is great for escaping dangerous situations. Players can use it when the killer is chasing them, and they need a burst of speed to create distance between them.
Scene Partner
When fans are near the killer, they can activate this perk. After looking at the killer, players will start to scream, which will make the killer's location visible for a short time - 5 seconds. There is also a chance that users will scream again, allowing them to see the killer's location for another 2 seconds. This perk also has a 1-minute cooldown.
Best Use
Scene Partner is a great perk for gathering information on the killer's location and movements. Fans can use it during stealthy moments or when they are sure the Killer is nearby but not actively hunting them. Keep track of its cooldown to make the most of its potential multiple uses in a match.
Plot Twist
This perk starts working when the player is wounded, lying down, and not moving. Using the perk, a player hides their bleeding and noise. This allows them to survive and grants 50% speed for 4 seconds.
Best Use
Plot Twist is a versatile perk for both solo and team play. Users can use it when they are injured and in a dangerous situation. The ability to fully heal and gain a speed boost can help escape or give time for teammates to come to help. It also remains active after the gates are powered up, making it useful in end-game scenarios.
Dead by Daylight is available now for Mobile, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
