Best Build for the Krasue in Dead by Daylight

After a slew of collaborations and crossovers, Dead by Daylight's newest character is the Krasue, a terrifying killer inspired by southeast Asian folklore. This killer has two distinct forms, giving her a unique playstyle compared to the rest of the roster.

The Krasue is a floating female head with organs trailing underneath, but she can inhabit the body of a host to assume a human form. In Dead by Daylight, players can swap between head and human forms during matches to stalk survivors and make aggressive plays when the time is right. With the right perks and strategy, the Krasue is a force to be reckoned with.

The Krasue's Power and Perks, Explained

The Krasue's power is called Unbodied Flesh. It allows the killer to swap between body and head forms, each with distinct abilities.

While in body form, the Krasue appears as a normal woman and can perform a ranged attack called Regurgitate.
In head form, the Krasue becomes much faster but cannot break pallets or get the Bloodlust status effect. The head form also trades the ranged Regurgitate attack for a melee Intestinal Whip strike.

Both attacks inflict survivors with the Leech status, which eventually inflicts them with the Broken status and even injures healthy survivors. Survivors can eat a new item called Glowing Fungus to reduce their Leech meter build up during trials.

These are the Krasue' s unique perks. You can use these with other killers after prestiging the Krasue as well.

Ravenous: When you hook a survivor for the first time, gain one token (up to four). When you have four tokens, all survivors scream and gain Exposed for 40/50/60 seconds.
Wandering Eye: Whenever you start chasing a survivor, reveal the auras of all other injured survivors within 16 meters for five seconds. This perk has a 40/35/30 second cooldown.
Hex: Overture of Doom: Spawns a Hex Totem that curses the farthest generator and reveals its aura to you in yellow. When a survivor repairs the cursed generator for five seconds, you gain Undetectable and your Terror Radius is applied to the generator for 20/25/30 seconds. When the cursed generator is repaired, the next farthest generator is cursed.

Best Build for The Krasue in Dead by Daylight

The Krasue's abilities allow for an aggressive playstyle that prevents survivors from hiding and completing generators without being detected. As such, you should use these perks for the best Krasue build.

Oppression (The Twins)
Pop Goes the Weasel (The Clown)
Barbecue and Chili (The Cannibal)
Nowhere to Hide (The Knight)

With these perks, the Krasue becomes a generator regression menace that relentlessly hunts down survivors. The first perk is Oppression, which makes multiple generators start regressing after you kick a single one. It also gives survivors a difficult skill check if they're currently repairing one of those generators.

Pop Goes the Weasel has been slightly nerfed, but it's still great for the Krasue. It causes a generator to instantly lose 15% of its progress when kicked after you hook a survivor, and then regular regression still applies after that instant loss. With the hook bonus changes to combat tunneling, killers get a huge increase in generator damage for every kick. This makes Pop Goes the Weasel even stronger.

Next up is the reworked Barbecue and Chili perk, which now just applies a baseline buff to generator damage after hooking all survivors once. Again, this pairs very nicely with the new anti-tunneling hook changes.

Finally, Nowhere to Hide reveals nearby survivors' auras whenever you kick a generator, giving you some targets to hunt down in between generator checks.

You can really build the Krasue any way you want in Dead by Daylight, and she's already shaping up to be one of the game's strongest killers. At the very least, she hasn't introduced any new bugs that have the community begging for a kill switch like some other recent updates.
