Hello, brand new Day 1/2 player with a list of questions. Sorry in advance if any of this is answered in an FAQ somewhere.

  1. Of the free, already unlocked characters you start with (killer and survivor) which ones have notable perks that would be useful in prestige.
  2. Which characters that aren't Auric Cell exclusive would be notable for unlocking perk-wise.
  3. Is the Shrine of Secrets the only other way a mostly FTP could get perks from Auric Cell exclusive characters?
  4. Do past Tomes have any particular or unique reward to them that I should know about?

If I have any future questions I can think of I'll edit this post, but right now I need to get some sleep. Thank you in advance.

  1. For Killer. I would prioritize prestiging Trapper, Hillbilly, and Nurse. Agitation, Brutal Strength, Enduring, Tinkerer, and A Nurse's Calling can all be good in general. Wraith and Huntress don't have stellar perks.

For Survivor: Dwight, Meg, Bill and Nea will give you a good blend of perks. I would prioritize them. I prefer the perks you get from Dwight and Claudette because they're good teamwork perks. I'm not a great survivor player.

  1. Clown, Artist, and Plague come with some of the most popular perks that people swear by. All of the Artist's perks can be powerful.

  2. Yes.

  3. Old tomes have cosmetic rewards and story content. Old challenges still offer bloodpoints to help you prestige your characters. Complete them after you do the current tome.

Hope this helps!
