Lara Croft is one of 45 Survivors currently featured in Dead by Daylight.

She was introduced as the Survivor of CHAPTER 32.5: Tomb Raider™, a Half-Chapter DLC released on 16 July 2024.

She originates from the 2013 Action-Adventure Game Tomb Raider, the first instalment of the Survivor Trilogy.


Overview[]

Lara Croft's instincts have been honed by her many dangerous expeditions.

Her personal Perks, Finesse, Hardened, and Specialist, allow her to reveal the Killer instead of screaming, repair Generators more efficiently, and Rush Vault faster.


Lore[]

Even as a child, Lara was driven by an insatiable curiosity. Her father, Lord Richard Croft, an archaeologist and aristocrat, was frequently away on expeditions as she grew up, forcing her to become independent at a young age.

It was at university where she met her best friend, Samantha Nishimura. Sam encouraged Lara to have fun and experience life beyond the quiet halls of schools and museums.

When the opportunity arose to go on an archaeological expedition to the island of Yamatai, Lara jumped at the chance. Her mentor, Conrad Roth, selected her and Sam to be a part of the trip.

Before they reached the island, everything went sideways. Their ship hit a storm and split in two, scattering the expedition across the island's shore. Lara struggled to find her crew while avoiding the pursuit of the nefarious Solarii Brotherhood who infested the island. She managed to find Sam with a seemingly marooned inhabitant named Mathias, but when Lara passed out, Sam and Mathias disappeared.

As she pursued Sam, she learnt that the Brotherhood was looking for a vessel for an ancient queen, and, led by Mathias, became convinced that vessel was Sam. When Lara finally tracked them to a cave under a waterfall, they had Sam tied to a pyre, preparing to test whether she was the one — or if she would simply burn to death.

In a desperate attempt to save Sam, Lara let loose an arrow, taking out the torchbearer. But she was outnumbered and promptly captured and beaten by the Brotherhood. As two guards led her over a natural stone bridge, an unnatural black fog enveloped them. Her captors distracted, she broke free and leapt from the bridge into the river of blood below.

As she sank, dozens of limbs reached out at her, grabbed her, tore away her bow, pulled her under. IT was as if the river was alive. She kicked and struggled to reach the surface. At last, she emerged from the sick viscera and found herself in an entirely new nightmare.

Unique Perks[]

Lara comes with 3 Perks that are unique to her:

Finesse The threat of danger can motivate any creature to strengthen its resolve.

Whenever you are healthy, Finesse activates:

  • Increases your Vaulting speed for a Fast Vault by +20 %.
Finesse has a cool-down of 40/35/30 seconds after performing a Fast Vault.

"Just need to push myself a bit further." — Lara Croft

Hardened Live long enough, and survival will run in your blood.

After unlocking a Chest and either blessing or cleansing a Totem, Hardened activates:

  • Suppresses the urge to scream from any cause and instead causes the Aura of the Killer to be revealed to you for 3/4/5 seconds.
"Got to keep quiet. That thing is still out there." — Lara Croft
Specialist Adventure. Exploration. Excavation.
You are in your element.

Whenever you unlock or rummage through a Chest, Specialist gains +1 Token, up to a maximum of 6 Tokens:

  • Succeeding a Great Repair Skill Check while repairing a Generator consumes all Tokens.
  • Permanently reduces the Repair Charges requirement of that Generator by 2/3/4 Charges per Token, up to a maximum of 12/18/24 Charges.
"Well, then. Doesn't this feel familiar?" — Lara Croft

Prestige[]

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