Dead by Daylight’s next Shrine of Secrets delivers the latest perks released recently. This week offers the perks Potential Energy, Up the Ante, Hubris, and Dying Light. Here’s a quick detailed rundown of each of the perks offered from January 25 - January 31, 2023.

Dead by Daylight Shrine of Secrets perks for January 25 - January 31, 2023

This section found in the in-game store of Dead by Daylight gives players the chance to unlock perks from Survivors or Killers still unavailable for them, or have not yet earned the highest tier.

To unlock a perk through the Shine of Secrets, you’ll need to spend Iridescent Shards per perk. Tier 1 perks can cost 2,000 shards.

Here’s the description of each perk.

Killer Perks

Hubris (The Knight) - Whenever you are stunned by a Survivor, that Survivor suffers from Exposed for 10/15/20 seconds.

Dying Light (The Shape) - Each time you hook a Survivor that isn’t your Obsession, you gain 1 Token for the Trial.

While the Obsession is alive, all other Survivors take a 2/2.5/3% penalty to Repairing, Healing, and Sabotaging hooks per Token collected, up to a max of 22/27.5/33% or 11 Tokens.

Obession won’t get the penalty, but instead earn a permanent 33% increase when unhooking and healing other Survivors.

While activated, any Survivor that stops repairing a Generator before it’s fully repaired will cause the Entity to block that Generator until Dead Man’s Switch effect ends.

Affected Generators are highlighted in a white Aura.

Survivor Perks

Up the Ante (Ace Visconti) - For each Survivor still in the Trial, Up the Ante will have 1 token.

Each token gives a stackable 1/2/32% bonus to Luck, up to a maximum of 3/6/9%.

Potential Energy (Vittorio Toscano) - After repairing a Generator for 12/10/8 seconds, you can use the active ability key to use Potential Energy. One you press the active ability key while repairing, repairing will charge Potential Energy instead of repairing the Generator.

1.5% of repair progression will give 1 token to the perk, up to a maximum of 20 tokens.

You can press the active ability again to use all tokens stores in the perk to instantly repair the generator. 1 token equates to 1% of generator progress. You lose all tokens if you lose a Heath State.

Which perks are worth getting this week?

This week’s perk offering is definitely a treat, and likely intended as the Lunar New Year event is now live.

Killers look into considering Hubris as it’s a fun new perk from the newest Killer The Knight as this makes pallets stuns more dangerous and beneficial. Pair this up with Spirit and/or perks that speed up your pallet kicking, and you’ll instantly down a healthy survivor.

Dying Light is one perk that’s hard to get going as it determines how many hooks you can get early to really take any kind of effect. It’s one of those perks that don’t do much at the start but can clutch a match close to endgame.

For Survivors, the new Potential Energy perk is fun to use but doesn’t dethrone generator repair perks like Prove Thy Self as using this perk pauses any progression for the time being. The best time to use is when you a percent away from repairing a generator as you can bring all your stored energy to instantly give the next generator a good head start. Just watch out, as a single hit can ruin all that time spent.

Last, Up the Ante delivers a straightforward bonus to your luck stack, meaning you have a higher chance of unhooking yourself in a Trial. You can stack this perk with multiple Survivors bringing this in a Trial, so it’s best used with a group that when going for solo queue.

Dead by Daylight’s Shrine of Secrets reset every Wednesday at 12 AM UTC / 8 AM GMT +8.

Dead by Daylight’s Lunar New Year celebration event called Moonlight Burrow is now live and will last until February 7, 2023.
