This page of the DBD guide contains a description of the killer Huntress. Here you can find a description of the perks and powers she possesses.
Basic information
The Huntress is by far the best killer using ranged combat. This is because she is capable of inflicting damage over very long distances.
- Name: Anna,
- Height: Tall,
- Terror Radius: 20 meters,
- Lullaby Radius: 45 meters,
- Movement speed: 4.4 m/s,
- Difficulty level: Moderate,
- DLC: None, available in the basic version of the game.
Power and perks
The power of Huntress is very simple. The killer has 5 axes that she can throw at survivors. A hit will result in loss of health. You can renew your supply of "ammunition" in the lockers.
The greatest difficulty in playing the Huntress is the lack of a crosshair. This means that you have to measure the distance by eye. The axe will fly to the center of your screen - where the target should be.

How to play Huntress?
The Huntress is one of the few killers that can deal damage at long range. Using axes, she can hit unsuspecting survivors. But more importantly, she has the ability to break low loops. After all, you can throw your weapons over obstacles - just aim a little higher than usual.
The best moments to hit are when the survivor drops a pallet or vault through the window. They are then unable to turn and perform dodge.
Also, keep in mind that a survivor running in a straight line in a place without obstacles can easily avoid your attack.
However, note that as a killer who fights from a distance, the Huntress has a slower movement speed. Therefore, in the early phases of the game, especially on large maps, she may have trouble controlling the situation.
