The Lich is a new killer that comes this month with the latest Dead by Daylight patch notes. Lich is a book of evil and illegal spells confined by human skin and flesh. To choose the spells of the Lich, the player needs to continue to press the hold button, and then spell selection will open.
The Lich’s new Killer has access to 4 spells, which are given below;
Mage Hand: a magical hand created to lift or down the pallets and block an upright pallet for 4 to 5 seconds.
Flight of the Damned: Summons 5 ghostly flying creatures that are capable of moving through objects and harming the Survivors.
Dispelling Sphere: Throws an unseeable ball that shines, exposes the Survivors, and sends their Magic Item on cooldown for some time.
Fly: Temporarily increase your flying speed to easily cover ground and quickly travel over vaults and pallets.
Special items: Magic items
Magic Items may be found in Treasure Chests located around the map. Each Survivor can equip up to two Magic Items at once: One is to carry one pair of Boots, and the other is to carry one pair of Gauntlets. These Magic Items are linked to a particular Spell and function during The Lich’s casting of that spell.
Boots/Gauntlets of the Interloper: The Survivor observes the presence of pallets subjected to the Mage Hand and gains Haste for 3 seconds.
The Boots/Gauntlets of the Nightwatch: Through the power of Flight of the Damned, the Survivor can perceive the auras of the vengeful spirits.
Boots/Gauntlets of the Archivist: The Survivor may see the Dispelling Sphere.
Boots/Gauntlets of the Skyguard: The Survivor can look at The Lich while using Fly and for a few seconds afterward.
Special items: Hands and Eye of Vecna
the Hand or Eye of Vecna might be found in a Treasure Chest. If the Survivor uses it, he gains a unique ability while in total health. To use these special abilities, the Survivor loses one health state and is revealed on the map with Killer Instinct for 3 seconds.
Hand of Vecna: In a Fast Locker Entry, the Survivor is transported to another locker that is further away from the area he was in previously.
Eye of Vecna: During a Fast Locker Exit, The Survivor cannot be seen by The Lich and gets the Haste status effect for 15 seconds.
New Killer Perks
Weave Attunement
For each particular item, when it is used for the first time in every match, it is discarded. You can see outlines of the dropped items. If you are within 12 meters of dropped items, the auras of survivors become known to you. When a Survivor picks up a Survivor item, the character becomes oblivious for 20/25/30 seconds. Oblivious means that Survivors cannot hear or become influenced by the Killer’s Terror Radius.
Languid Touch
When a Survivor within 36 meters of you scares a crow, they receive the Exhausted status for 6/8/10 seconds. The languid Touch perk is on a 20-second cooldown. Exhausted prevents Survivors from activating exhausting perks.
Dark Arrogance
Increase the duration that you are blinded and the duration of pallet stuns by 25%.
Boosts regular vault speed by 15/20/25%.
New Map – Forgotten Ruins
