Dead by Daylight’s latest chapter is all aboutThe Walking Dead, bringing Rick Grimes, Michonne, and Daryl Dixon into the fog to face off against a roster of frightening killers. Michonne Grimes has some of the coolest unique perks inDead by Daylight,which basically transform her into a much more aggressive version of the support survivor role that players have come to know.

Michonne also has some skills that synergize well with Rick Grimes, which is fitting given their relationship status inThe Walking Dead. Michonne can still hold her own without Rick, though, and she can ruin a killer’s plans with cool perks that help survivors get to safety. These are the best perks, items, and add-ons to run with Michonne inDead by Daylight.

Convictionis one of the key perks for this build, letting Michonne pick herself up from being downed for a brief period of time so she can relocate to a safe space.Duty of Careis another perk that enables riskier play. When Michonne takes a protection hit, all other nearby survivors get Haste so they can escape. Michonne will be healing and rescuing people from hooks quite often with this build, so this perk will activate all the time.

Teamwork: Throw Downis another one of Michonne’s unique perks. It grants Endurance to nearby survivors whenever Michonne pallet stuns or blinds the killer, letting nearby survivors see the killer’s aura as well. If you rush generators and plantBlast Mineson them, you and your team will have an easier time sticking close to them because of Michonne’s perks instead of having to flee.

If you can keep the killer’s attention during chases, your teammates can get away and heal up. That’s the main idea of this build.

Best Items and Add-Ons for Michonne

Since Michonne’s best perks aresupport-oriented, you should bring either aMed-KitorFlashlightwith her. With a Med-Kit, you’ll be able to heal survivors more efficiently so you can activate Conviction. It’ll also help you patch everyone else up once they escape from the killer with the help of those Endurance buffs.

If you bring a Flashlight, you’ll be able to distract the killer and buy time for everyone else to escape, ideally while they have Endurance or Haste activated from one of Michonne’s other perks. Flashlights will also help you triggerTeamwork: Throw Downmore often, which ties into the Endurance part of this build.

Bring add-ons that maximize the charges for Med-Kits and increase the battery life for Flashlights. They’re no use if they’re empty, and you want as many charges as possible so you can activate the associated perks as often as you can. If you play your cards right, Michonne becomes a sort of tank for yourDead by Daylightsquad with this build, taking protection hits, picking herself up, and helping other survivors get to safety so she can face the killer herself.
