Wraith-Specific Notes
- Killer identity: Dead by Daylight Wraith builds for ambush hits, rotation speed, and map pressure.
- Why this intent fits Wraith: best wraith perks should reinforce Wraith's strongest repeatable pressure pattern.
- Common trap: copying generic loadouts without adapting to match state.
- Fast adaptation line: if your opener fails, pivot into aura + regression value first, then rebuild tempo.

Extended Picks
#1
Starts with Tokens and consumes one when a Survivor is first hooked on a Scourge Hook to damage the most progressed generator and make repairing Survivors scream. Disables once all Tokens are spent.
#2
After your first hook, a dull totem becomes a Hex Totem and generator auras show repair progress; once four generators are completed, remaining generators explode, lose progress, and begin regressing, then the hex totem dulls and the perk disables.
#3
After each Survivor is hooked for the first time, gains a token and later blocks all Generators once you move far enough from the Hook. Once fully charged, also reveals the Obsession's aura.
#4
After hooking a Survivor, the next manually damaged generator immediately loses a portion of its current progress. Deactivates after use or when its timer expires.
#5
After damaging a generator, increases its regression rate and highlights its aura. Also triggers loud noise notifications when Survivors hit good skill checks while repairing that generator.
#6
After damaging a generator, highlights it, and when a Survivor is put into the dying state, highlighted generators explode and begin regressing. Survivors repairing those generators scream and have their auras revealed.
#7
After damaging a Generator, grants Undetectable and reveals the damaged Generator's aura to Survivors while it regresses. Deactivates when regression stops and has a cooldown between activations.
#8
Converts several hooks into Scourge Hooks and highlights their auras. Unhooked normal hooks become Scourge Hooks, and hooking on a Scourge Hook highlights the most progressed generator for a short time.
#9
Highlights the auras of damaged Generators based on their regression state and increases the audible range of repair-related noises.
#10
After hooking a Survivor, you have a short window to trigger an explosion on a nearby generator that removes progress and starts regression.
#11
After hooking a Survivor, reveals the auras of other Survivors who are far from the hook.
#12
After damaging a generator, reveals the auras of nearby Survivors for a short duration.
