The foggy realms of Dead by Daylight have welcomed survivors from all walks of life—teachers, drifters, even ghost-hunters—but none tread the razor's edge quite like Taurie Cain. Born into the sinister cult Disciples of the Black Talon, she once served The Entity itself, spreading its darkness across the globe. Now, trapped in the very trials she sought to empower, Taurie channels her intimate knowledge of the void into audacious survival tactics. Her story flips the script: where others fight to escape, she dances with the shadows that birthed her, turning predator into reluctant ally in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.

Taurie Cain's Unique Perks

Born from her cult upbringing, Taurie’s perks reward calculated gambles that benefit the whole team. These aren’t your average hide-and-seek tricks—they’re high-risk maneuvers demanding nerves of steel.

Perk	Description & Strategy
Clean Break	After a teammate heals you, activate Broken status for 60 seconds to instantly become Healthy afterward. Perfect for dodging time-wasting heals when killers lurk nearby—it’s like hitting fast-forward on generator progress.
Invocation: Treacherous Crows	Spend 60 seconds in the Basement to trigger a ritual. You’ll stay Injured/Broken forever, but crows become your spies—startling one reveals the killer’s aura briefly. High cost, but oh boy, the intel payoff!
Shoulder the Burden	Take a hooked survivor’s place once per trial, absorbing their hook state. You’ll scream, get Exposed for 40 seconds, and alert the killer—a gutsy move to shield teammates from tunneling.
