Dead By Daylight Best Wraith Build (2022)

What is the best Wraith build in Dead by Daylight? Hopefully, this guide will help get to the bottom of that question as well as giving players all the information they need to help elevate their skills with the killer who originally launched with the game.

Further down we’ll cover off her standard perks and powers as well as the perks we would opt for when trying to assemble the best Wraith build in Dead By Daylight. Naturally, this is subjective and we’ll always attempt to keep this page updated as new chapters and major updates are released.

The Wraith Power & Perks

The Wraith killer has three unique perks that can be unlocked for other killers via the Bloodweb.

Alternatively, you can also unlock them via the games Shrine of Secrets.

We’ve detailed everything you need to know about these 3 main perks, just below.

Perk Description
Predator
(unlocked at level 30 in Bloodweb)
Your acute tracking ability allows you to hone in on disturbances left by running Survivors.

  • The Scratch Marks left by Survivors spawn Several closer together.
Bloodhound
(unlocked at level 35 in Bloodweb)
Like a hunting scent hound, you smell traces of blood at a great distance.

  • Pools of Blood are shown in bright red and can be tracked for Several Seconds longer than normal.
Shadowborn
(unlocked at level 40 in Bloodweb)
You have a keep vision in the darkness of the night.

  • Increases your Field of View by Several Degrees.

Field of View gains do not stack

In addition to his standard perks, The Wraith can also use his unique power called Wailing Bell. Here’s how it works:

“Ring the Wailing Bell to cloak, becoming invisible and losing the Terror Radius. Though The Wraith cannot attack while invisible, uncloaking grants a deadly lunge capable of injuring unsuspecting Survivors. Remember – The Wraith becomes slightly easier to spot at close distance, and his Wailing Bell rings out loudly while uncloaking and cloaking.”

What are the best perks for The Wraith?

When creating the best build for The Wraith, we would personally opt for the following perks to maximise his potential:

A Nurse’s Calling – This perk is unique to The Nurse

  • Unlocks potential in your Aura-reading ability. The Auras of Survivors, who are healing or being healed, are revealed to you when they are within a range of several metres.

Discordance – This perk is unique to The Legion

  • Any Generator within a range of several metres that is being repaired by 2 or more Survivors is marked by a yellow Aura.
  • When the Generator is first highlighted, Discordance triggers a Loud Noise notification on the Generator.
  • After the Generator is no longer within range or is being repaired by just 1 Survivor, the highlighted Aura will linger for another 4 seconds.

Hex Ruin – This perk is unique to The Hag

  • A Hex that affects all Survivor’s Generator Repair progress. All Generators automatically regress at percentage of the normal Regression speed whenever they are not being repaired. The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing.

Pop Goes the Weasel – This perk is unique to The Clown

  • A deep bond with The Entity unlocks great strength. After hooking a Survivor, Pop Goes the Weasel activates for the next several seconds:
  • The next Generator you damage instantly loses 25 % Progression.
  • Regular Generator Regression applies afterwards and Pop Goes the Weasel deactivates.
