Crushing the Competition: Unbeatable Nemesis Builds for 2023 in Dead by Daylight

Since its release in 2016, Dead by Daylight has solidified its position in the horror video game genre. One of the key factors contributing to its success is the continuous updates provided by developer Behaviour Interactive. These updates consistently raise the standards and introduce new Killers and Survivors. The latest addition to the game is the Resident Evil chapter, featuring Nemesis from the Resident Evil 3 remake. This guide aims to assist players in optimizing Nemesis's gameplay for success.

Similar to other Killers, Nemesis possesses the potential to pose a significant threat to Survivors when utilized efficiently. While he may not be as formidable as top-tier Killers such as Nurse and Spirit in the current meta, he is by no means weak. Additionally, Nemesis is a relatively uncomplicated Killer, making him accessible even to players without advanced skills.

Updated on October 20, 2023 by Lewis Smyth, this article presents revised builds for The Nemesis in Dead by Daylight. Given the fluid nature of the game's meta, it is crucial to adapt to the constant changes. These new builds focus on incorporating more potent perks that synergize well with each other. Moreover, this guide offers builds for both teachable and non-teachable perks, catering to players with different levels of access to additional DLC Killers.

The Nemesis: Best Non-Teachble Build (2023)

The Nemesis possess a remarkable array of abilities in his Bloodweb, notably Eruption and Lethal Pursuer. These skills grant him the power to regress generators across all realms and spot Survivors right from the beginning of a trial. This particular strategy leverages these perks in tandem with Bitter Murmur to effectively track Survivors throughout the entirety of the game. To intensify pressure during the Endgame Collapse, Hex: No One Escapes Death is incorporated into the build.

Eruption (The Nemesis) - When a generator is kicked, it will be marked with a yellow aura. If a survivor is then downed, all marked generators will lose 10% progress and the aura of any survivors working on them will be revealed for 12 seconds.

Lethal Pursuer (The Nemesis) - During the beginning of the trial, the auras of all survivors are revealed for 9 seconds. Additionally, this perk extends the duration of other abilities that read auras by an additional 2 seconds.

Hex: No One Escapes Death (General Perk) - After the final generator is finished, all survivors will gain the Exposed status ailment while users will benefit from a four percent Haste effect until the Hex Totem is purged.

Bitter Murmur (General Perk) - Whenever a generator is completed, the auras of Survivors within a 16-meter radius of that generator will be uncovered for 5 seconds. Once the last generator is completed, the auras of all Survivors will be revealed for 10 seconds.

The Nemesis: Best Build (2023)

A highly effective build to pair with The Nemesis in Dead by Daylight is utilizing Hex: Ruin. This perk allows for constant regression on generators as long as Survivors are not actively working on them. This maximizes the impact of Zombies, which can be used to push Survivors off generators. Additionally, combining Corrupt Intervention and Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance significantly hinders Survivor progress throughout the entire game. Lastly, The Xenomorph's Ultimate Weapon reveals the locations of Survivors, granting a strategic advantage.

Corrupt Intervention (The Plague) - At the beginning of the trial, the three generators farthest away from the killer's starting location are blocked for a duration of 120 seconds or until the first Survivor is downed.

Hex: Ruin (The Hag) - As long as the Hex Totem remains intact, any generators not currently being worked on will automatically regress. This effect will cease once the first Survivor is eliminated.

Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance (The Artist) - The Killer begins with four tokens. For each unique Survivor hooked on a white Scourge Hook, one token is forfeited and the generator with the highest progress detonates, resulting in a 25% loss of progress.

Ultimate Weapon (The Xenomorph) - When a Survivor enters the Terror Radius after opening a locker, they let out a scream and become afflicted with the Blindness ailment for a duration of 30 seconds. This perk has a cooldown of 30 seconds.

Dead by Daylight can be enjoyed across various platforms including Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
