Sadako in Dead by Daylight: All perks and abilities revealed

Behaviour Interactive, the creators of Dead by Daylight, released the complete trailer for the new Ringu Chapter this week, along with a March 8 release date.

The Chapter is formally titled "Sadako Rising" and features a new Survivor and a new Killer, the latter inspired by Kji Suzuki's writings and representations of the entity in films such as The Ring.

Along with the new video and release date of Dead by Daylight, the PTB (Public Test Build) servers have already received the latest update, allowing players to witness what the new Survivor and Killer are worthy of.

In Dead by Daylight, Sadako has both corporeal and incorporeal forms, which she can transition between by appearing into the physical world and using her power.

When not Manifested, she is invisible to all survivors outside of 32m (equal to her primary fear radius) and becomes sporadically visible inside 32m. Sadako must first materialise before attacking a survivor.

On the other hand, Sadako's perks in Dead by Daylight might put pressure on survivors by making it more difficult for them to repair generators or simply stressing survivors once one of them is unplugged.

Here are the perks and abilities of Sadko in Dead by Daylight

These skills' statistics are based on Sadako's data page on the PTB, and they may change depending on perk levels and any balance tweaks.

Sadako Perks

1) Floods of Rage

Up to four random hooks are replaced with scourge hooks at the start of the trial. Players see white auras around them. Every time a survivor gets unhooked from a scourge hook, their aura is revealed to all other survivors for five seconds.

2) Merciless Storm

Everyone is affected by player’s horrific experience. Survivors working on a generator will be subjected to continual Skill Checks after it reaches 90% completion.

The generator is blocked for 16 seconds if they miss or cease mending. Each generator can only trigger Merciless Storm once every trial.

3) Call of the Brine

Player’s psychic powers have a terrible impact on technology. This perk becomes active for 60 seconds after injuring a generator. Players can see the generator's aura as it regresses at 150 per cent of the typical regression pace.

Players will hear a loud noise every time a Survivor completes a good Skill Check on a generator impacted by this perk.

Player’s intense curiosity for the paranormal has provided them with unparalleled knowledge of other worlds and planes of existence. To bless and produce a Boon Totem, press and hold the ability button near a Dull or Hex Totem.

Soft chimes reverberate over a 24-meter radius. Survivors inside the Boon Totem's range obtain a 2% Haste effect. After exiting the Boon Totem's range, its effect lasts for 2 seconds. One Totem can be blessed at a time. On the Boon Totem, all equipped boon benefits are active.

2) Empathic Connection

Those who are in danger can sense player’s presence psychically. Within a 32-meter range, another Survivor can see your aura if they are hurt. Players heal other Survivors at a 10% quicker rate.

3) Parental Guidance

Players have inherited the power to communicate with the dead, and the dead are now warning them of oncoming dangers. The scratch marks, pools of blood, and agony grunts remain hidden for 8 seconds after stunning the Killer.

The Onryo obtains the Undetectable status effect and is invisible to Survivors before Manifesting, but she becomes apparent sporadically when she is within 32 metres of them.

2) Special Ability: Manifestation

To assault Survivors in Dead by Daylight, the Onry must appear physically. To manifest into material form in your current place, press and hold the power button.

The Onryo will be sporadically visible to Survivors for a brief while after Manifesting, as long as she remains Manifested, when she is within 32 metres. By pushing and holding the power button, the Onryo can Demanifest.

3) Special Ability: Projection

By projecting herself onto television, the Onryo can also assume physical shape. While staring at a powered TV, press the ability button to Project into it, turning off the TV in the process. Condemned progress is gained by all survivors within 16 metres of the TV.
