Hex Perks

A glowing Hex Totem

Hex Perks are Perks that interact with and depend on the Totem Mechanic, which was introduced with Patch 1.3.0 alongside The Hag .

There are currently 11 Hex Perks available in Dead by Daylight .

Overview

Hex Perks depend on their Hex Totem .
Hex Perks are only active for as long as their assigned Hex Totem remains uncleansed.

Totem Selection

When equipping a Hex Perk, the procedural Map generator will randomly assign it to any of the 5 Dull Totems spawning throughout the Trial Grounds, turning it into a Hex Totem.

Aura

The Killer can see the Aura of any remaining Hex Totem at all times, but otherwise has no means of knowing which Perk is tied to which Totem.

Cleansing

While Hex Perks are in general the most powerful Killer Perks available, that power comes at the downside of Survivors having the ability to deactivate them by cleansing their associated Hex Totem.

Once a Hex Totem is cleansed, its Hex Perk will be permanently disabled for the remainder of the Trial, with the one exception being a Perk that is protected by Hex: Undying , which will require a second cleansing.

Hex Perks

	Hex: Blood Favour	A Hex that gains the favour of The Entity when blood is spilt. Hitting a Survivor with your Basic Attack prompts The Entity to hold all Pallets within a radius of 16 metres from your location in place for the next 15 seconds, preventing Survivors from pulling them down. Hex: Blood Favour has a cool-down of 60/50/40 seconds. The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing. "It would be no leap of the imagination to suggest that the Trials are a biological response of sorts." — Journal of Talbot Grimes
	Hex: Crowd Control	A Hex that ensures those lesser than you are properly herded. Survivors who perform a rushed vault through a Window prompt The Entity to block it for the next 10/12/14 seconds. The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing. "You have no control. People like you never did." — Ji-Woon Hak
	Hex: Devour Hope	A Hex rooting its power on hope. The false hope of Survivors ignites your hunger. Each time a Survivor is rescued from a Hook when you are at least 24 metres away, Devour Hope receives 1 Token: 2 Tokens: 10 seconds after hooking a Survivor, gain a 3/4/5 % Haste Status Effect for the next 10 seconds. 3 Tokens: Survivors suffer permanently from the Exposed Status Effect. 5 Tokens: You are granted the ability to kill all Survivors by your own hand. The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing. "If you do nothing, you have their blood on your hands. If you save them, her hunger grows."
	Hex: Haunted Ground	Two trapped Hex Totems will spawn in the Trial Grounds. When either Hex Totem is cleansed, all Survivors suffer from the Exposed Status Effect for 40/50/60 seconds. The second Hex Totem will immediately turn into a Dull Totem. "Her home became profane."
	Hex: Huntress Lullaby	A Hex rooting its power in despair. Your hunt is an irresistible song of dread which muddles your prey's attention. Survivors receive a 2/4/6 % Regression penalty on Failed Skill Checks for Repair and Healing actions. Hex: Huntress Lullaby grows in power each time you hook a Survivor, gaining 1 Token, and affecting Repair and Healing Skill Checks: 1 Token: shortens the time between the Warning sound and the Skill Check by -14 %. 2 Tokens: shortens the time between the Warning sound and the Skill Check by -28 %. 3 Tokens: shortens the time between the Warning sound and the Skill Check by -42 %. 4 Tokens: shortens the time between the Warning sound and the Skill Check by -56 %. 5 Tokens: disables the Warning sound. The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing. "That song, it drives me crazy!"
	Hex: No One Escapes Death	A Hex rooting its power on hope. You are animated by the power of your Hex Totem when the Survivors are on the verge of escaping. Once the Exit Gates are powered and there is at least one Dull Totem remaining in the Trial Grounds, Hex: No One Escapes Death activates and lights the Totem: Your Movement speed is increased by 2/3/4 %. Survivors suffer from a permanent Exposed Status Effect. Hex: No One Escapes Death remains inactive if no Dull Totems are available. The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing. "And the beast became faster and more powerful as if The Entity's shadowy whips were lashing at its back."
	Hex: Retribution	A Hex that lashes out upon its destruction. Those who cross you will be punished. Survivors cleansing a Dull Totem suffer from the Oblivious Status Effect for 35/40/45 seconds. After cleansing a Hex Totem , the Auras of all Survivors are revealed to you for 10 seconds. The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing. "Bloody fool, you pulled the trigger on yourself." — Caleb Quinn
	Hex: Ruin	A Hex that affects all Survivor's Generator Repair progress. All Generators automatically regress at 100/150/200 % of the normal Regression speed whenever they are not being repaired. The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing. "A curse is upon you. It will cause your ruin."
	Hex: The Third Seal	A Hex that hinders the Survivors' Aura-reading abilities. The last 2/3/4 Survivors hit with your Basic Attack suffer from the Blindness Status Effect. The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing. "She touched your skin, you bear the witch's mark!"
	Hex: Thrill of the Hunt	A Hex rooting its power on hope. The false hope of Survivors fills you with excitement and strengthens your Totems. For each Totem remaining in the Trial Grounds, Hex: Thrill of the Hunt gains 1 Token. Survivors suffer from a stack-able 4/5/6 % Cleansing Speed penalty per Token, up to a maximum of 20/25/30 %. Hex: Thrill of the Hunt grants a stack-able 10 % bonus Bloodpoints for actions in the Hunter Category per Token, up to a maximum of 50 %. Survivors starting to cleanse any Hex Totem will trigger a Loud Noise notification. The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing.
	Hex: Undying	A Hex which maintains the vile powers that flow throughout the Trial. The Auras of Survivors within 2/3/4 meters of any Dull Totem are revealed to you. When another Perk's Hex Totem is cleansed, its Hex is transferred to the Hex: Undying Totem, including any accumulated Tokens, disabling Hex: Undying instead. The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing.

Trivia

• Hex: No One Escapes Death is the only Hex Perk that can be prevented from ever activating by cleansing all five Totems before its activation condition is met.
