Behavior Interactive has done a great job in keeping Dead By Daylight ahead of time for many years. There aren’t many asymmetrical games that could keep player retention as much as DBD. One of the things they’re well known for is their realistic character designs and cosmetics, making people fall in love with those characters.
Spark of Madness, the fourth chapter in the game saw the release of Feng Min alongside The Doctor. This cute Asian quickly became the favorite character of many, getting a ton of cosmetics for herself. Whenever you play, you’ll likely encounter someone using this character almost every second game.
An Introduction To Feng Min
A gamer inside a game, Feng Min picked up gaming at a very early age. Spending too many hours in it, she started having problems with her parents, leading to her moving out. In the end, she pushed herself too much, concluding in the fog with a bunch of dreadful killers.
She was known as the Shining Lion in the real world, and her personality isn’t any different in the game. The character comes with three perks of her own which are Technician, Lithe, and Alert.
Perk Synergies With Technician
Technician is a beginner perk that isn’t actually good for your team. Firstly, it reduces the distance repair sounds can be heard by eight meters. Further, whenever you miss a skill check, it doesn’t notify the killer, but the generator gets an eight percent regression instead of five percent.
To put this in perspective, Jolt is a killer perk that makes the generator lose eight percent progress while downing a survivor nearby as well, so it’s quite a lot. Even so, this perk can be useful in a few combinations.
| Hyperfocus | This perk from Rebecca Chambers makes generators fun to repair. With every great skill check that you hit, the generator gets more progress, but the skill check also becomes faster, making it hard to hit.
While using Hyperfocus, you’re bound to miss a few skill checks in an attempt to hit the great part, which is very small. Hence, Technician can prevent the killer from being notified, allowing you to continue repairing. |
|---|---|
| Fast Track | Another perk where you’re required to hit a great skill check. You get three tokens every time a survivor is hooked, giving you one percent progression for each token upon hitting a great skill check while repairing a generator. The reason for using Technician with this is the same. |
| Flashbang | Sometimes, you’re in the mood to troll, and the killer might not be too good. In these kinds of situations, you can purposefully miss skill checks with Technician on a generator to get more flashbangs from it while using the perk.
Further, there might be times when you’re on the last generator, and you need a little more progress on your flashbang, but the generator is about to finish. In these instances, Technician can give its true value. |
| Blast Mine | If you’re going to use Technician, you’re probably repairing a lot of generators. While being a gen jockey isn’t particularly fun after a few hours in the game, watching the killer get stunned and blinded with Blast Mine as they try to kick your generator makes it much better. |
| This Is Not Happening | This is another perk that incentivizes you to hit a great skill check when you’re injured by increasing the length of the great part by 30 percent. The skill check itself doesn’t change its length, making it much more common to miss it while trying to hit the great. |
You can also use Technician while repairing a generator with a teammate and watch them get annoyed at you when you purposefully miss skill checks. Do this at your own risk.
Perk Synergies With Lithe
There are only a handful of Exhaustion perks in the game, and Lithe is one of them. Whenever you vault a window (fast or medium vault) or a pallet while pressing the sprint button, you get 150 percent speed for three seconds, allowing you to make a ton of distance from the killer.
You also get Exhausted for 40 seconds, making it impossible to use any other Exhaustion perk including this one for the duration. This effect was added to the game so multiple high-sprint perks couldn’t be misused together.
Being a perk related to vaulting, Lithe has a ton of synergies with other perks.
| Dance With Me | This Kate Denson perk makes your scratch marks disappear for three seconds whenever you perform a fast vault, making it perfect for Lithe since that’s also the duration of the sprint.
This combination can be used to easily lose the killer on certain pallets or windows like the shack or maze tiles. If you’re on an indoor map, there’s no way they’re finding you after executing this combination unless they can track your blood pools. |
|---|---|
| Quick And Quiet | This perk allows you to perform a fast vault action without making any noise. This also prevents the killer from getting a notification of the rushed action. Combined with Lithe, you can perform a little mind game by getting the sprint while making the killer think you never vaulted in the first place. |
| Windows Of Opportunity | To be able to use Lithe, you need a window or a pallet to vault in the first place. Windows of Opportunity allows you to see both of these things around you, making it much easier for you to decide which one you want to trigger the sprint on. |
| Vigil | While the Exhaustion lasts for 40 seconds inherently, Vigil can make this effect go away 30 percent faster, which can stack if other people are also using the perk. This difference is so significant that you can even use Lithe twice in one chase with this perk if the chase lasts long enough. |
| Resilience | While you’re fast after you vault the pallet or window with Lithe, there are times when the killer is close behind you, and you need to perform the vault faster as well. Resilience allows you to do this nine percent faster when you’re injured. |
Perk Synergies With Alert
Alert is one of the strongest aura-reading perks while you’re in a chase, and it even tops Object of Obsession because of that perk’s limitations. While using Alert, you can see the killer’s aura for five seconds every time they break a pallet, a generator, or a breakable wall.
The perk doesn’t have any cooldown, and it triggers every time the killer performs a breaking action, making it very useful even when you aren’t in a chase as it tells you exactly where the killer is. The basic perk synergies with this perk are:
| Any Means Necessary | As mentioned above, the perk’s usability is reliant on the killer performing break action. With Any Means Necessary, you can see the aura of every dropped pallet on the map. These pallets are the best objects that you can use since you can make the killer break them. |
|---|---|
| Smash Hit | This is another Exhaustion perk that gives you a sprint after you stun the killer with a pallet. Most of the killers will break the pallet afterward, allowing you to make a ton of distance while also showing you where the killer is coming from. This can be specifically useful on indoor maps. |
| Bite The Bullet | This might seem like a weird synergy at first, but Bite The Bullet can actually be used in a chase effectively at the right time. This timing is hard to judge in general, but it becomes much easier when you’re using Alert. Although, you will need something to heal yourself with this combination.
Whenever you see the killer’s aura breaking the pallet, you can find a corner nearby and start healing yourself there, making you completely silent. The killer will expect you to make the distance, allowing you to completely lose them in most instances. |
Feng Min’s Lore-Based Build
As one of the first original survivors in the game, Feng Min has deep lore to herself. While her appearance makes a lot of people like her, her personality definitely has a big part to play in it as well. With over 80 perks in the game, here is the build best-suited for Feng’s lore:
| Technician | Working as a gamer and being involved in esports, Feng is accustomed to machinery, allowing her to miss skill checks without alerting the killer. |
|---|---|
| Alert | Since she’s a big gaming fan, her reflexes are amazing, allowing you to see the aura of the killer several times. |
| Any Means Necessary | Feng stayed up many nights to become better at what she does. While this turned out for the worse, she definitely knows how to use Any Means Necessary for herself. |
| Deliverance | She is someone who’d make herself suffer to become better at everything. Forcing herself off the hook with Deliverance is definitely something like that. |
