Dead by Daylight: Best Builds for The Wraith

With the recent changes in the meta and the return of the
Stranger Things
Chapter on
Dead by daylight
the best builds for The Wraith have changed. This reviewed guide includes updated builds with the latest perks, as well as a list of the best add-ons.

The Wraith: Best Non-Teachable Build (2023)

For players who only have access to the base game, Wraith’s own perks are some of the most niche and ineffective in Dead by daylight. Therefore, it is much better to use general perks like Sloppy Butcher to slow down the midgame, Bitter Murmur and Spies from the Shadows to find survivors, and Hex: No One Escapes Death to potentially secure kills in the endgame collapse.

• Bitter Murmur (General Advantage) – Each time a generator is completed, the auras of survivors within 16 meters of that generator will be visible for 5 seconds. Once the last generator is completed, the auras of all survivors will be visible for 10 seconds.
• Hex: No one escapes death (General benefit) – After the last generator is completed, all survivors suffer from the Endangered status ailment and receive a 4% speed boost until the Hextotem is cleansed.
• Sloppy Butcher (General Advantage) – Basic attacks inflict the Maimed and Bleeding status ailments for 90 seconds, slow healing by 25%, and revert healing progress if not completed.
• Spies from the Shadows (General Perk) – When you are within 36 meters of a crow startled by a Survivor, you will receive a loud noise notification.

The Wraith: Best Build (2024)

As a killer with little tracking potential aside from his decloak speed boost, arguably the most effective build for The Wraith includes a number of generator slowdown perks as well as something to help locate survivors. This build includes The Plague’s Corrupt Intervention to prevent early game progression, as well as Grim Embrace and Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance to slow them down during the mid game. Meanwhile, Discordance can keep an eye on generators being repaired by multiple survivors.

• Corrupt Intervention (The Plague) – At the start of the attempt, the 3 generators furthest from the killer’s starting location are blocked for 120 seconds or until the first survivor dies.
• Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance (The Artist) – The Killer starts with four tokens. For every other Survivor hooked to a white Scourge Hook, you lose one token and explode the generator with the most progress, causing it to lose 25% of its progress.
• Grim Embrace (The Artist) – Each time the Killer hooks a new Survivor, all Generators will be blocked for 12 seconds after moving 16 meters from the hook. After each Survivor is hooked once, all Generators will be blocked for 40 seconds and the Aura of Obsession will be revealed for six seconds.
• Bamboozle (The Clown) – Jump speed is increased by 15% and performing a jump blocks the window for 16 seconds.
