As The Plague’s Corrupt Intervention will show Pressure at the start of the game and enable a setup with three generators, Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance and Grim Embrace work Generator regression with each new hook.

The Lich: Best Add-Ons

To push the Lich to its limits in Dead by daylightBy investing in the Bloodweb, new add-ons are unlocked that strengthen his power Vile Darkness. This section of the manual lists some of the best add-ons You should prioritize usage in order of rarity.

Trickster Glove

Mage Hand is perhaps Vecna’s most powerful ability in The Entity’s Trials. This Common Vile Darkness Add-On increases the time Mage Hand holds a palette by half a secondgiving you a little more time to secure an injury before the pallet can be used again.

Raven Feather

Although not as powerful as other add-ons on this list, the Raven Feather increases the duration of the Lich’s Fly spell by half a second. When used to close the gap to Dead by daylight‘S For survivors, whether in loops or across the map, this extra time can be useful.

Ring of Telekinesis

The Uncommon Ring of Telekinesis is perhaps the most powerful add-on on this list, reducing the time it takes Mage Hand to raise a pallet to 35%This causes survivors who attempt to escape this force to be caught more often before they can reach other loops.

Ring of Spell Storage

Cooldown management is an important part of the Lich’s playstyle, as many powerful spells come with numerous long cooldowns. The Ring of Spell Storage simply reduces all of these cooldowns by 4 secondsso you can access your various powers more quickly.

Potion of Speed

DungeonsThe fly magic has made it into Dead by daylight as one of Vecna’s four spells. While it allows you to travel great distances at high speed, Fly can also glide over pallets and windows and effectively block loops when used correctly. To land a hit before a Survivor reacts to the spell, the Potion of Speed ​​reduces the fatigue effect after casting Fly by 0.5 seconds.

Staff of Withering

Using the Dispelling Sphere when pursuing is a good way to disable the magical items that counteract Vecna’s abilities. When used this way, the Staff of Withering – the Exhausted Survivors hit by the bullet – can reduce the chance of encountering survival exhaustion perks like Lithe, Sprint Burst, and Dead Hard.

Pearl of Power

Like the Ring of Spell Storing, the Pearl of Power reduces the cooldowns of spells. Similar to The Shape’s Save the Best for Last, each basic attack reduces all remaining cooldowns of spells by 5 seconds. Although the utility of this add-on is not as consistent as Ring of Spell Storing, the Pearl of Power still provides a nice bonus if you frequently find yourself waiting for one of your spells to return.

Decorated horn

The Ornate Horn makes the use of Flight of the Damned a little more valuable, as the additional entity is created by the add-on, making it a bit more difficult to dodge the spell if you don’t duck under it.

Boots of Speed

Similar to the Ring of Telekinesis, the Boots of Speed ​​strengthen the Mage Hand, making it more effective in multiple loops. Simply put, this rare Vile Darkness add-on grants a 5%Haste status effect for 2 seconds after casting a Mage Hand, granting you increased speed to catch up to a Survivor.

Dragontooth Dagger

An easily recommended add-on, the very rare Dragontooth Dagger, causes the status ailments Maimed and Bleeding for 45 seconds for survivors who are hit while carrying magic items. Since these are most people in a trial against the Lich, the Dragonfang Dagger essentially acts as a weaker Sloppy Butcher, slowing down survivors’ healing without the need to equip the perk.

Vorpal Sword

For players looking for more impactful changes to the Lich King’s powers, the Vorpal Sword is the crowning glory. When injured Survivors are hit with the Dispelling Sphere, they will screams and inflicts Brokenwhich interrupts her actions and prevents her healing. Mage Hand also changes significantly. Instead of timing Mage Hand to raise a pallet at the right moment, Vecna ​​uses it to smash the palletsThe spell is used in a similar way to how the Knight can use his power to keep survivors away from resources.

Shimmering Book of Abominable Darkness

Like the Vorpal Sword, the Iridescent Book of Vile Darkness fundamentally changes how the Lich’s spells work, and is therefore not recommended for those looking to learn how to play. Nevertheless, this excellent add-on makes the Fly spell work similarly to The Clown’s Bamboozle. block the window as you glide through it and prevent survivors from using it. More importantly, the Flight of the Damned spell closer to the groundmeaning that Survivors must dodge it and cannot duck under it. Killers who can accurately predict Survivor movements with these two spells can use this extremely rare add-on to regularly damage Survivors when they would otherwise be unable to do so.
