New Survivor Sable Ward Joins the Ranks in Dead by Daylight
Dead by Daylight enthusiasts are always on the lookout for the next Survivor to join the fight for survival against the ruthless Killer. With regular Chapter releases, the wait is never too long for someone new to arrive on the scene. In this latest update, we'll explore the newest Survivor, Sable Ward, and what she brings to the table.
What is Sable Ward's Background?
Sable Ward is an original character to the Dead by Daylight universe and a friend of fellow Survivor Mikaela Reid. According to the reveal trailer for the newest Chapter, All Things Wicked, Sable discovers a mysterious fog in an abandoned movie theatre, leading her to be taken by The Entity. She's driven by guilt over her friend's disappearance and is determined to find her, only to become trapped in the Fog herself.
A New Perk Type: Invocations
Sable Ward brings a new Perk type, Invocations, to Dead by Daylight. To activate an Invocation, players must create a salt circle in the basement and sacrifice something to earn a significant boost to their team. Sable's Perks reflect her cunning and intelligence, offering unique benefits to Survivors.
- Invocation: Weaving Spiders - Applies progression to all generators but costs health states.
- Strength in Shadows - Allows Survivors to heal without Medkits.
- Wicked - Helps Survivors recover from the Mangled state faster.
While Sable's Perks offer exciting benefits, they require her to be in the basement within the salt circle to activate them. If the Killer understands how she works and takes advantage of this, or uses a Perk that reveals Survivors in the basement, they can easily counter what the Survivors are trying to do.
What to Expect from Sable Ward
Sable Ward is a welcome addition to the Dead by Daylight universe, bringing a fresh set of Perks and a compelling backstory to the table. With her Invocations, she offers a new way for Survivors to work together and outsmart the Killer.
