In Dead by Daylight, different killers benefit from different cheat features. A stealth killer like Ghostface gets exponentially more value from ESP than a high-mobility killer like Blight. This guide pairs every killer archetype with the optimal cheat features and perk loadouts from TATEWARE Dead by Daylight.
Killer Archetype Tier List with Cheats
| Tier | Killers | Best Cheat Feature | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| S Tier | Nurse, Blight, Spirit | ESP + Speed optimization | Already top-tier — ESP removes only weakness (information) |
| A Tier | Huntress, Deathslinger, Trickster | Aimbot | Ranged killers convert aimbot directly into hits |
| A Tier | Ghostface, Myers, Pig | ESP | Stealth killers become impossible to hide from |
| B Tier | Trapper, Hag, Freddy | ESP | Trap killers use ESP to predict pathing for trap placement |
| C Tier | Doctor, Legion, Plague | ESP (marginal) | Already have built-in tracking — cheats add less value |
S Tier Builds: Nurse + ESP
Nurse is already the strongest killer in Dead by Daylight, and ESP eliminates her only real weakness: losing track of survivors after blinks. With survivor ESP active, every blink is precisely aimed at a survivor's position. No guessing, no lost chases, no wasted blinks.
Recommended Nurse Perk Build with ESP:
- Starstruck — survivors near your blink destinations are exposed (ESP tells you exactly who's nearby)
- Infectious Fright — screams reveal survivors after a down (redundant with ESP but hides your cheat usage)
- Agitation — faster carrying speed to hooks (ESP shows closest hook)
- Barbecue & Chilli — aura reading after hooks (again, redundant but masks ESP usage as perk-based awareness)
The key insight: run perks that explain your impossible awareness. Barbecue, Infectious Fright, and Nurse's Calling all provide legitimate aura-reading that justifies how you always know where survivors are. This makes your ESP usage look like perk synergy instead of cheating.
A Tier Builds: Huntress + Aimbot
Huntress's hatchets are the most aim-dependent attack in DBD. Without aimbot, landing cross-map hatchets requires extensive practice. With aimbot, every hatchet is a hit — including around-loop throws and cross-map snipes.
Recommended Huntress Perk Build with Aimbot:
- Iron Maiden — faster locker reloads + exposed survivors leaving lockers
- STBFL (Save the Best for Last) — faster M1 recovery for close-range situations
- Lethal Pursuer — 9-second aura reading at match start (ESP makes this redundant but it explains early-game awareness)
- Darkness Revealed — periodic aura reading through lockers (masks ESP)
A Tier Builds: Ghostface + ESP
Ghostface's power revolves around stalking survivors from stealth. ESP turns him into a perfect predator — you always know where every survivor is, can stalk from maximum distance, and never waste time searching. Mark survivors, expose them, and strike with guaranteed one-shot downs.
Recommended Ghostface Perk Build with ESP:
- Lethal Pursuer — explains early stalking knowledge
- I'm All Ears — 6-second aura after survivors rush vaults (masks ESP)
- Jolt — generator regression on downs (pure value)
- NOED — endgame insurance (ESP shows totem positions for protection)
B Tier Builds: Trapper + ESP
Trapper benefits from ESP in a unique way — you can see exactly which path survivors will run and place traps accordingly. Instead of guessing loop paths, you watch their pathing through ESP and place traps where they consistently run.
- ESP shows survivor loop patterns — place traps at windows and pallets they favor
- ESP reveals which generators they're working on — trap the paths between active gens
- ESP shows when survivors approach your traps — be ready to chase when they trigger
Cheat Features by Killer Role
| Cheat Feature | Best Killers | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Survivor ESP | All killers | Eliminates hide-and-seek — always know where survivors are |
| Aimbot | Huntress, Deathslinger, Trickster | Ranged attacks become guaranteed hits |
| Generator ESP | Patrol-heavy killers (Blight, Billy) | Shows gen progress — prioritize nearly-complete gens |
| Pallet/Window ESP | M1 killers (Ghostface, Myers) | Shows available pallets — mindgame with full information |
| Totem ESP | Hex users (Hag, Huntress) | See when survivors approach hex totems to protect them |
Anti-Cheat and Perk Masking Strategy
Dead by Daylight uses EAC. TATEWARE DBD bypasses it at the kernel level. The perk masking strategy is critical — always run at least 2 aura-reading perks so your ESP-derived awareness has a legitimate explanation if you get spectated or reported. BBQ, Lethal Pursuer, I'm All Ears, Darkness Revealed, and Nurse's Calling all serve as ESP masks. Pair with the HWID Spoofer for ban protection.
Bottom Line
Match your killer choice to your cheat features for maximum impact. Play Huntress or Deathslinger if you have aimbot. Play Nurse, Spirit, or Ghostface if you're running ESP. Run aura-reading perks to mask your ESP usage. And always protect your hardware with a spoofer — EAC bans from DBD affect Fortnite, Apex, Rust, and every other EAC game.
