Dead by Daylight: Best Builds for Kwon Tae-Young

The All-Kill: Comeback map and new survivor hit the Dead by Daylight PTD on 24th February 2026, and while the map is incredibly designed, what’s more exciting to survivor mains is the new survivor. And his new set of perks.

With new perks come new builds to help you survive the fog and get your teammates out of the gates safely. Below are our top builds for Kwon Tae-Young’s three unique perk builds.

Please note that the information below is subject to the current PTB information and gameplay.

Flow State

This build centers on Totems and the benefits of cleansing them quickly with Flow State. Inner Strength’s benefits come from being able to heal yourself in a locker, and while in the locker, Lucky Star can activate.

Lucky Star will silence you and give you aura reading benefits when leaving healed and able to jump back on a Gen. When hopping on a Gen with or without another survivor, Haddie’s perk Overzealous gives you a speed boost in repairing until injured again and repeating the process.

If you struggle to find Totems, take a map with you with the correct add-on (Sharpened Flint) so you can locate them easily whenever you need the next one or to find a Hex.

Perk	Survivor	Description
Flow State	Kwon Tae-Young	Whenever a generator is completed, earn 1 Token, up to 5. For each Token, you bless and cleanse 10% faster, you heal 10% faster, and you unhook 10% faster.
Inner Strength	Nancy Wheeler	After cleansing, a Totem Strength activates. While active, hiding inside a Locker heals you to the next Health State.
Lucky Star	Ellen Ripley	While hiding inside a Locker it Suppresses your Grunts of Pain, and after exiting the Locker, you benefit from the following effects for 30 seconds: Suppresses your Grunts of Pain and the creation of Pools of Blood. The Auras of all other Survivors are revealed to you, and the Aura of the nearest Generator is revealed to you.
Overzealous	Haddie Kaur	After cleansing or blessing a Totem, Overzealous activates. A Dull Totem: Increases your Repair speed by 8/9/10%. A Hex Totem: Increases your Repair speed by 16/18/20%. Overzealous deactivates after losing a Health State.

A Place For Us

For this build to work, you need to be aiming for an altruism gold star. While healing others with A Place For Us gives them the elusive status, Babysitter gives them the added benefits of aura reading, scratch mark, and blood suppression, while the extra bump to their haste could get them away from a tunneling killer quickly.

While We’ll Make It is a great perk for healing quickly, you can’t guarantee that you’ll reach the hook first, and that is where Empathetic Connection comes in handy.

If you happen to unhook, you’ll be giving the survivor a boost of useful status effects quickly, but if they need to, they can also find you themselves later on.

If you choose to add a med-kit to your load-out, you’ll speed through healing at an incredible rate, giving your fellow teammates as much time as possible to get away from the danger.

Perk	Survivor	Description
A Place For Us	Kwon Tae-Young	While healing another survivor, you both gain Elusive. Whenever you finish healing the Obsession, they gain Elusive for 30s.
We’ll Make It	General Perk	After unhooking another Survivor, We’ll Make It activates: Increases your Altruistic Healing speed by +100 % for 30/60/90 seconds.
Empathetic Connection	Yoichi Asakawa	Whenever another Survivor is injured, they can see your Aura within 32/64/96 metres. Increases your Altruistic Healing speed by +30%.
Babysitter	Steve Harrington	Whenever you unhook a Survivor, the Aura of the Killer is revealed to you for 8 seconds, while the unhooked Survivor benefits from the following effects for 20/25/30 seconds instead: Suppresses the creation of their Scratch Marks and Pools of Blood. Increases the strength of their Haste Status Effect by +10%.

Five Moves Ahead

If you’re trying to get better at pallet stunning a killer, there is no better time to practice than now with the perk Fives Moves Ahead. It takes some planning, but with a quicker dropping time, pallets could become even better friends to you. It also helps to see their auras in your vicinity, so you can beeline straight to them.

Lara Croft’s perk Finesse will help you get through those vaults quicker, saving you time in chase, while Exultation and Smash Hit both give you a bonus from pallet stunning. You’ll upgrade your item and gain haste while dropping a pallet quickly with Five Moves Ahead and stunning the killer.

Since Exultation upgrades your item rarity, remember to take in a Brown, Blue, or Green level item. If you take in a Purple, you won’t get any benefit from the perk if you successfully perform a pallet stun.

Perk	Survivor	Description
Five Moves Ahead	Kwon Tae-Young	While you are in the killer’s terror radius or being chased by the killer, you see the Auras of the 5 closest Pallets and Windows. You drop Pallets 50% faster. There is a 20s cooldown after you’ve dropped a Pallet.
Finesse	Lara Croft	Whenever you are healthy, Finesse activates: Increases your Vaulting speed for a Fast Vault by +20%. Finesse has a 40/35/30s cool-down.
