Vecna or "The Lich" is one of 39 Killers currently featured in Dead by Daylight.

He was introduced as the Killer of CHAPTER 32: Dungeons & Dragons, a Chapter DLC released on 3 June 2024.

He originates from the 1974 Board game Dungeons & Dragons.

Overview

Few dare speak The Lich's true name, for fear that he may hear — or worse.

His personal Perks, Weave Attunement, Languid Touch, and Dark Arrogance, allow him to exploit used Items, exhaust those who disturb the Crows, and increase his Vaulting speed.

Difficulty Rating: Moderate
(These Killers require the Player to be comfortable with the basics of the role, though they share common mechanics with easier ones)

Lore

The Whispered One. Lord of the Rotted Tower. The Master of Secrets. Few dare speak his true name, for fear that he may hear — or worse.

Even as a young wizard, Vecna’s command of magic was matched by none. While others spent decades committing to and perfecting one school of magic, he effortlessly mastered each one of them. After his mother’s execution for witchcraft, his focus became obsession as he pored the most of his study into the darkest school of magic—necromancy, the magic of life and death.

As his power grew, so did his ambition. Over the centuries, he shed his mortal shell and ascended to lichdom. His power gave rise to a great empire, ruled over from his Rotted Tower.

His thirst for dark knowledge to fill his Book of Vile Darkness led him to many realms and planes. But it was in his own realm one of his servants found something — a spell, perhaps, torn from an ancient tome — written in a language he had never seen. From it he could sense an incredible dark energy. Without any document of the language, he had to spend months painstakingly analysing its syntax, its phonetics, its form. He documented every stroke of every letter, scrutinising and theorising on their meanings, in a massive book hidden in his chambers. When his lieutenants came to him with problems in their domain, Vecna told them to deal with it themselves. He had more important matters to attend to.

Countless nights were spent memorizing the strange script, attempting to make it make sense. Only occasionally would he leave his keep to investigate rumours of people who had disappeared without a trace in the night. At these scenes, he could sense the same foreign magic that emanated from the torn page. He was convinced that whatever was killing these people had also written this strange script.

He was confounded, which made him furious. The scenes, few and far between, had no pattern, no common motive. No sign of struggle, no body, and only a lingering hum of dark energy. To what end did they need these bodies?

One dark night, he had a breakthrough: a word he had been interpreting as “dying” made more sense as “disappearing.” Perhaps these people were not being killed at all: perhaps they were being taken alive. He applied this substitution through his notes and everything seemed to fall into place.

He copied what he had learned to a fresh piece of parchment, written phonetically. He began to speak the words aloud and the room darkened. It filled with a creeping black fog. He felt himself displacing, going somewhere else. Vecna resisted, incanting memorised spells, holding the fog at bay. But as he gazed into the darkness, he felt that alluring energy from it; a despair, an evil he could scarcely imagine. A sick curiosity overcoming him, he dropped his concentration, and let the fog take him. Whatever it was, wherever it was, he understood that the only way to harness it was to submit to it. He knew, in his cold, unbeating heart, that its dark secrets would one day be his.

Unique Perks

The Lich comes with 3 Perks that are unique to him:

	Dark Arrogance	When everything is going right, you are an inescapable inevitability. Increases your Vaulting speed in exchange for increased vulnerability to being blinded and stunned: Permanently increases the duration of Killer Blinds by any means and the duration of Pallet Stuns by +25 %. Permanently increases your Vaulting speed by 15/20/25 %. "Run all you want. I will not be denied." — Vecna
	Languid Touch	Your dreadful aura is so suffocating that even terrifying scenes tire your prey. When a Survivor scares off a Crow within 36 metres of your location, Languid Touch activates: Causes that Survivor to suffer from the Exhausted Status Effect for 6/8/10 seconds. Languid Touch has a cool-down of 5 seconds. "Submit to me. It is inevitable." — Vecna
	Weave Attunement	You are so attuned to magical energies that you can sense even minor ripples around enchantments. Whenever an Item is depleted for the first time, it is automatically dropped: The Auras of dropped Survivor Items are revealed to you, as well as the Auras of any Survivors within 12 metres of them. Affected Survivors see the Aura of that Item as well. Causes Survivors picking up a Survivor Item to suffer from the Oblivious Status Effect for 20/25/30 seconds. "No number of novelties will protect you from me!" — Vecna

Prestige

Prestiging The Lich will automatically add Tier I of his Unique Perks to the inventories of all other Killers and unlock the ability for their higher-tiered versions to spawn in their Bloodweb.

Prestige The Lich twice more to automatically add Tier II and Tier III respectively into the other Killers' inventories.

Weapon: Afterthought Dagger

The Afterthought Dagger is the Primary Weapon of The Lich.
Blade in hand, he fought with ferocity — even when he lost his eye and hand to the one who betrayed him.

Power: Vile Darkness

"Bound with the skin and flesh of men, the Book is packed with spells both forbidden and wicked."

SPECIAL ABILITY: VILE DARKNESS
Press and hold the Secondary Power button to open the Spell Selection.
Move the cursor towards one of four available Spells in order to select it:

• Fly: Grants the ability to fly across the environment for up to 4 seconds and allows The Lich to ignore dropped Pallets and Windows.
• Flight of the Damned: Grants the ability to conjure 5 Flying Entities that can pass through obstacles and damage Survivors in their path.
  • Triggers Killer Instinct on Survivors downed by this Spell for 5 seconds.
  • Cannot hit crouched Survivors on level terrain.
• Dispelling Sphere: Grants the ability to cast a moving invisible Sphere that reveals Survivors through Killer Instinct and disables their Magic Items for 60 seconds upon contact.
  • Causes the specific type of Magic Item to become visible to The Lich on the Survivor HUD while they are disabled by the Spell.
  • The Cool-down duration of Magic Items is indicated to all Players with a timer on the Survivor HUD.
• Mage Hand: Grants the ability to create a Magical Hand that lifts dropped Pallets back upright in 0.5 seconds or blocks already upright ones for 4 seconds.

Each Spell is on its own independent cool-down.

SPECIAL TREASURE CHESTS: MAGIC ITEMS
6 Treasure Chests containing special Magic Items for Survivors to equip spawn in the environment.
These include Boots or Gauntlets of:

• All Magic Items reveal the Aura of The Lich for 1.5 seconds, when he casts their associated Spell.

Unlucky Survivors may only find a regular Item inside a Treasure Chest that is either depleted or half-depleted.

SPECIAL ITEMS: HAND & EYE OF VECNA
Rarely, Treasure Chests contain either the Hand of Vecna or the Eye of Vecna.

Healthy Survivors can use those Items to gain a special ability at the cost of a Health State and triggering Killer Instinct after use:

• Hand of Vecna: Rushing into a Locker teleports the Survivor to a different Locker that is at least 10 metres away.
  • Triggers a Loud Noise Notification on the target Locker and Killer Instinct on them for 5 seconds.
• Eye of Vecna: Rushing out of a Locker has the following effects for 12 seconds:
  • Suppresses their Aura, Scratch Marks, Blood Pools and Grunts of Pain.
  • Grants them complete invisibility.
  • Grants +25 % Haste.
  • Triggers Killer Instinct for 3 seconds after becoming visible again.

SPECIAL INTERACTION: RECOVER ARTEFACT
Survivors attuned to the Eye of Vecna or the Hand of Vecna with an accumulated 2 Hook Stages are vulnerable to The Lich recovering his Artefact from them.
Press the Attack button while standing over the downed Survivor to execute them on the spot, performing a Mini-Mori.

DLC

Main article: Downloadable Content

The Lich is part of 1 DLC:

• CHAPTER 32: Dungeons & Dragons

Change Log

Patch 8.0.2

• Nerf: increased the SFX volume for spawning Flight of the Damned skeletons to provide better auditory awareness to Survivors when using the Spell.
• Reversal: increased the Pallet-Lift time for Mage Hand from 0.35 seconds to 0.5 seconds, reverting it back to its PTB value.
  • This nerf was motivated by the Spell being considered a bit too oppressive with the live build also having considerably increased the Movement speed of The Lich during the Cool-down phase that follows casting the Spell.

Patch 8.1.0

• Undocumented Change: added a new Lobby animation for The Lich.
• Undocumented Reversal: reverted The Lich's Layer 3 Terror Radius to be the same as it was in the PTB.

Patch 8.4.0

• Buff: reduced the Cool-down time of Fly from 38 seconds to 25 seconds.
• Buff: reduced the Cool-down time of Dispelling Sphere and Flight of the Damned from 38 seconds each to 35 seconds each.
• Nerf: increased the Cool-down time of Mage Hand from 38 seconds to 40 seconds.
• Nerf: increased the Cool-down time after cancelling a Spell Cast from 1 second to 1.25 seconds.
• Nerf: reduced the time Magic Items stay disabled for after passing through the Dispelling Sphere from 60 seconds to 45 seconds.

Trivia

• The Lich is the third Killer to not physically interact with the environment or Survivors, relying solely on his magical forces and conjurations to manipulate the environment.
• The Lich's Prestige order was reversed compared to other Killers, with Prestige 4 granting the bloodstained headpiece instead of the bloodstained weapon. This was reverted back to the default order with the Patch 8.4.0.
• While rare, it is possible for a Survivor to be hit with two Flying Entities at once, resulting in an instant down.
• The Lich is only the second Killer since The Nurse who floats and glides across the floor instead of walking.
  • In a similar manner to her, he uses telekinesis to interact with Props instead of his own hands.
• The image used on the Vorpal Sword iridescent addon, is in fact the Sword of Kas and not the actual Vorpal Sword from D&D.

Mori

• The Lich is the third Killer to have two entirely different Moris.
  • The Lich's default Mori features him summoning skeletons from a circle of purple flames all around the Survivor, lifting the Survivor up with his magical powers, and having the skeletons remove all of the Survivor's flesh, leaving only the bones, which then drop to the ground.
  • The Lich's Recover Artefact interaction features him conjuring large crystal spikes, impaling the Survivor.
    Skeletons then rise up from the ground, grab them, and pull them further onto the spikes before disappearing.
• The Lich is the third Killer with a Mini-Mori ability.

Mark of Negation

• The Lich has a magical Sigil below the back of his neck, which is called the Mark of Negation.
  • This Sigil was placed by The Entity, and limits the powers of Vecna and prevents him from leaving the Realm.
  • Without this Sigil, Vecna could potentially rival the powers of The Entity, as both he and The Entity are god-like figures in their respective Lore.
    • This was demonstrated by the fact that The Lich was able to prevent The Entity from taking him at first.
      He was only able to be captured by The Entity when he willingly submitted to The Fog in order to learn its dark secrets.

Voice Actor

• The Lich is voiced by Matthew Mercer, a prolific voice actor who is also known for serving as the Dungeon Master in the Dungeons & Dragons themed web series Critical Role.
  • Mercer has also voiced Leon Scott Kennedy and Levi Ackerman in their respective source materials (though not in Dead by Daylight).

Voice Lines

• Vecna is the seventh Killer to actively speak during Trials.
