Abilities and perks

The Huntress has a simple yet effective power: she has five axes that she can throw at survivors, which cause damage upon impact. Axes can be restocked from lockers.

The main challenge when playing as the Huntress is the absence of a crosshair, which means you must aim by eye. The axes will automatically fly towards the center of the screen, where the target should be.

Playing as the Huntress

The Huntress is one of the few killers who can deal damage from a distance. Using her axes, she can catch survivors off guard. Additionally, she has the ability to break low loops by throwing axes over obstacles – just aim slightly higher than usual.

The ideal moments to strike are when the survivor drops a pallet or jumps through a window, as they are unable to dodge or turn for a short period of time.

It’s important to note that if a survivor is running in a straight line without obstacles, they can easily avoid your attack.

As a long-range killer, the Huntress has a slower movement speed which can make it difficult to control the situation in the early stages of the game, especially on larger maps.

FAQ

What are the perks of playing as the Huntress in Dead by Daylight?

The second perk is called Territorial Imperative, which allows the player to see the auras of any survivor who enters a certain area around a hooked survivor. This can be useful for keeping track of survivors who are attempting to rescue their teammate. The third and final perk is called Huntress Lullaby, which causes skill checks to be more difficult for survivors as the number of hooked survivors increases.
