The new Survivors who arrived with the Dungeons & Dragons DLC for Dead by Daylight are The Troupe. Consisting of Aestri Yazar and Baermar Uraz, here’s the best Troupe build in Dead by Daylight so you know the best Perks and playstyle to use.
Best Aestri & Baermar “Troupe” Perks in DBD
Collectively known as the “Troupe”,Aestri and Baermarare Bards from the D&D universe with unique Perks. Although they come with three Perks of their own, they may not be best suited for their build. Let’s quickly go over the Perks that Aestri and Baermar come with:
These are all great Perks in their own right, but when it comes to the perfect build you’ll want to aim for something a little different. Let’s go over the best builds for Aestri and Baermar for both beginners and veterans.
Beginner Aestri & Baermar build
We’ll keepBardic Inspirationfor this beginner build since it’s rarely doomed to fail. You and your fellow survivors have a 19/20 chance to gain a boost in Skill Check progression which can help everyone get generators done quickly.
We’ll also keepStill Sightsince it’s a good Perk for keeping an eye on the nearby Killer, as well as close Chests and Generators. It doesn’t have a cooldown which makes this highly useful.
There are two terrific general Perks you can get as a beginner player.Spine Chillgives you a warning when the Killer is looking in your direction, but also it increases your action speeds of doing practically anything.
Then I’d recommendKindredjust because it’s helpful when you or any of the Survivors get hooked. Anyone who gets hooked has their aura revealed to one another, and everyone can also see the Killer within 8/12/16 meters of the Hook.
Veteran Aestri & Baermar build
This build is perfect for Aestri and Baermar players who want to aid their teammates as much as possible.Bardic Inspirationstays as it’s crucial for increasing Skill Check progression for you and the other Survivors.
I also like theBondPerk from Dwight since it reveals the auras of all Survivors within 20/28/36 meters of you. When upgraded, its distance is much farther than what Still Sight can provide you and you don’t even have to stand still to activate Bond.
Spine Chillalways stays in my veteran builds just because of how OP it is to know whenever the Killer is looking your way. It’s also great to get a boost in your action speeds on whatever you’re doing while it’s activated.
Finally,Wake Up!is another good Perk for this Troupe build since it can help you and your teammates greatly once all generators are completed. It’ll reveal the auras of Exit Gate Switches within 128 meters, your aura is revealed to other Survivors within the same range while you’re opening a gate, and your gate opening speed increases by 15/20/25%.
Best Aestri & Baermar playstyle
When looking for the best playstyle for the Troupe, think about the Perks that they come with and the builds I’ve provided. They’re greatsupport players with Perks like Bardic Inspiration, so keep in mind how you’re helping your teammates while you’re also trying to survive.
If you keep the Mirrored Illusion Perk active, you’re able to play the Troupe as mischievoustrap setters who try to toy with the Killer, which in turn helps other players survive. This method does put you in danger since Mirrored Illusion spawns an illusion of yourself which may make the Killer come after you.
Overall, your best playstyle with the Troupe Survivor is to focus onaiding your fellow Survivors while also increasing your visual abilities. Perks like Still Sight, Kindred, Bond, and Wake Up! can all help you and your teammates see key visuals better to aid you in escaping.
Now that you know the perfect Aestri and Baermar build in Dead by Daylight, you may want to know thebest Vecna buildif you enjoy playing Killers.
