Cheryl Mason is one of 45 Survivors currently featured in Dead by Daylight.

She was introduced as the Survivor of CHAPTER 16: Silent Hill, a Chapter DLC released on 16 June 2020.

She originates from the video game franchise Silent Hill, specifically Silent Hill 3 (2003).


Overview

No stranger to indescribable terror, Cheryl Mason has grown emboldened by the looming presence of evil. Drawing strength from the horrors of her past, she has learned to manipulate powers from beyond to achieve her noble goal.

Cheryl Mason is a young Veteran of Terror, emboldening both herself and her team.

Her personal Perks, Soul Guard, Blood Pact, and Repressed Alliance, allow her to survive through immense hardship, stay in contact with team members, and plan objectives.

Lore

Caring and impulsive, Cheryl Mason, previously known as Heather, attempted to rebuild her life after the tragic death of her adoptive father, Harry Mason.

While she had freed herself from the religious cult that pursued her since birth, she was shackled by the guilt of her father's death. A darkness punished her every night under the guise of abominable nightmares.

To ease her conscience, she volunteered at a crisis intervention centre for troubled youth. Three months later, she aced training and could answer the crisis line without supervision. Yet little could have prepared her for the first call. All she heard was static. The air thickened as black fumes rose from the ground and suddenly she heard the voice of a woman — someone she thought she'd never hear from again.

Why do you cling to this corrupt world? You know that only God can save us.

It couldn't be her — Claudia was dead. Suddenly, the world spun and she dropped to her knees, nauseous. Hot bile travelled up her throat and she retched warm blood on the floor. Then the spinning stopped as swiftly as it began. Cheryl looked up and saw she was somewhere else. A cold, hopeless place.

Unique Perks

Cheryl comes with 3 Perks that are unique to her:

Blood Pact It is as if a latent part of yourself has awakened.
You feel like you can reach out beyond yourself for assistance.

When either you or the Obsession become injured by any means, Blood Pact activates:

  • Your Auras are constantly revealed to one another.
  • Completing a Healing Action on the Obsession or having them complete one on yourself, grants both of you a 5/6/7 % Haste Status Effect.
    • This effect lasts for as long as you both remain within 16 metres of one another.
Blood Pact is temporarily disabled if you yourself are the Obsession.

Reduces your chance of becoming the initial Obsession by reducing the default value by -100 %.
The Killer can only be obsessed with one Survivor at a time.

Repressed Alliance You are accustomed to being hunted by malicious forces, and you have begun using it to your advantage.

After repairing Generators for a total of 55/50/45 seconds, Repressed Alliance activates:

  • Press the Active Ability button to call upon The Entity to block the Generator you are currently repairing for 30 seconds, after which Repressed Alliance deactivates.
  • The Aura of the blocked Generator is revealed to all Survivors in white.

Repressed Alliance can only be triggered when no other Survivors are repairing your Generator.

Soul Guard You have been through immense hardship and you're stronger for it.

After being healed from or having recovered from the Dying State, you benefit from the following effect:

While suffering from the Cursed Status Effect, you benefit from the following effects:
  • Grants the ability to fully recover yourself from the Dying State.
Soul Guard has a cool-down of 30 seconds.

Prestiging Cheryl will automatically add Tier I of her Unique Perks to the inventories of all other Survivors and unlock the ability for their higher-tiered versions to spawn in their Bloodweb.

Prestige Cheryl twice more to automatically add Tier II and Tier III respectively into the other Survivors' inventories.
