Ghoul

Patch

Patch 9.4.2 • Last verified 2026-02-27

Quick Wins

  • Target strongest survivor tiles early to reduce routing options.
  • Pair anti-loop with one re-engage info slot for better snowball.
  • Translate short chases into hook tempo immediately.

Common Throws

  • Overcommitting anti-loop windows in already won chases.
  • Ignoring generators while forcing micro outplays.
  • Running anti-loop with no closeout plan.

Ghoul-Specific Notes

  • Killer identity: Dead by Daylight Ghoul builds focused on quick downs, panic pressure, and ruthless momentum.
  • Why this intent fits Ghoul: best ghoul anti-loop build should reinforce Ghoul's strongest repeatable pressure pattern.
  • Common trap: forcing micro anti-loop plays while macro map state collapses.
  • Fast adaptation line: if your opener fails, pivot into window + pallet value first, then rebuild tempo.

Core 4 Perks

Extended Picks

  • #1

    Permanently increases vaulting speed. After vaulting a window, blocks that window for Survivors for a short time and can refresh or transfer the block by vaulting windows.

  • #2

    Increases vaulting speed while vaulting windows. Pallet stuns recover more slowly and blinds last longer.

  • #3

    Reveals the auras of nearby pallets and windows. When a Survivor drops a pallet, briefly reveals that Survivor's aura.

  • #4

    As generators are completed, gains tokens that increase action speeds for key interactions such as picking up Survivors, breaking, damaging generators, and vaulting windows.

  • #5

    After a Survivor drops a pallet and moves away shortly after, applies Hindered to them briefly.

  • #6

    Gains Tokens from first-time hooks. After all generators are completed, blocks all windows and upright pallets for a duration that scales with Tokens.

  • #7

    After a Survivor becomes injured, Unbound activates for a short time and grants a brief Haste effect after vaulting a window. The Haste effect cannot stack with itself.

  • #8

    After the Exit Gates are powered, lights a remaining Dull Totem to grant Haste and apply Exposed to all Survivors. Once revealed, the hex totem's aura becomes visible to nearby Survivors with the reveal range expanding over time.

  • #9

    When a non-Obsession Survivor blinds or stuns the Killer, makes them the new Obsession. When the Obsession changes, applies Oblivious and briefly reveals that Survivor's aura.

  • #10

    After damaging Survivors repeatedly with Basic Attacks, turns a Dull Totem into a Hex that applies Hindered to Survivors hit by Basic Attacks. The hex persists until the Hex Totem is cleansed or blessed.

  • #11

    While carrying a Survivor, applies Exposed to other Survivors within the Killer's Terror Radius, lingering briefly after they leave. Deactivates after hooking or dropping the carried Survivor and has a cooldown.

  • #12

    Reduces the duration of pallet stuns. Does not apply when stunned while carrying a Survivor.
