Summary
Dead by Daylighthas thrived in popularity and success for so long in spite of its notoriety for bugs and lack of balance, mostly due to the entertainment value, but also the amount of content that prevents the game from turning stale. Both Killer and Survivor rosters boastplentiful licensedand original characters, with more always joining.
One of the latest Survivors to enter the fog isSable Ward, a friend to Mikaela Reid who willingly ventured into the Entity’s Realm to find her friend, and did so in great style. It’s common consensus among fans that Sable is the Queen of fashion, with the coolest cosmetics from across the entire game.
12Rose-Tinted Grrrl
An Abundance Of White Washes Sable Out
A true and untainted recolor of her base skin,Rose-Tinted Grrrladds some red and white to her outfit. While these colors are a staple among goths as much as black, combining these two colors with her white hair may not be the most flattering look for Sable, as there is just too much white in this look.
The red top and corset are a nice touch, as it offers a more copacetic look than some of her other looks, but it does not look as flattering with her white skirt. If Sable had different colored hair, or a darker skirt, this cosmetic could be saved, but as it stands, it is just too bright for the resident gloomy Survivor.
11Rebel Grrrl
As it is a Base Recolor, it Lacks Originality
Every Survivor gains recolors of their base outfit, with some adding more excitement than others.Rebel Grrrlis a very basic reskin that doesn’t differ much from her base outfit, with only very minor tweaks to the color scheme.
The Rebel Grrrl outfit favors shades of gray and black and is nice enough to look at, and certainly suits this new gothgirl Survivor. But, when combined with some of her cosmetics, especially those that aren’t just recolors, most players would likely pass this one up in favor of others. It is not a bad cosmetic by any means, it just lacks any real excitement.
10Midnight Grrrl
A Common Skin That Isn’t Overly Unique
As a common skin,Midnight Grrrlwon’t cost survivors too many of their precious iridescent shards or auric cells because it is a basic recolor. With that said, this look adds cool blue sleeves and flashes of vibrant pink to her otherwise dark and plain skirt.
This splash of color helps to add some unique vibrancy to Sable’s look, but it simply isn’t as eye-catching as other skins, and feels like they were added at the last-minute just so it couldn’t be so easily mistaken for her base skin. But, at least it stands out more than other looks in her catalog.
9Base Skin
Sable’s first public appearance in the game’sofficial art and trailers showed her in this outfit, featuring a torn black skirt, black corset, and dark grey-blue sleeves, giving her a casual goth look that excited manyDead by Daylightfans who had been requesting an alt Survivor for the longest time. Fashion has a surprisingly big part to play in the game, as players like the opportunity to express themselves through characters, or even wear dark, neutral colors tobetter blend in with the environment.
The base cosmetic for Sableis nice enough, with a cohesive color palette that helps her hair stand out more, making Sable truly unique among other Survivors. While there are better skins players can purchase, it certainly isn’t her worst look by any means.
8Forest Grrrl
Adds a Witchy Twist to Her Base Look
As someone who will be toughing it out among fields and forests, theForest Grrrlcosmetic is one that is certainly fitting for her adventures in the fog. The green sleeves and brown additions to her otherwise black cosmetic add a witch-like look to her outfit, perhaps inspired by her friendship with theresident witchof the fog, Mikaela Reid.These colors can help her blend more into her surroundings, and offer a refreshing palette swap compared to her base look. For those looking for a fresh take to the popular alt Survivor, this is a great option.
7Vicious Splendor
An Unusually Bright and Vibrant Cosmetic
There are basic color swaps for Sable’s skins, and then there are ones that take the base silhouette and include a few more additions to make it more unique.Vicious Splendoris one such cosmetic that takes her partial lace corset and exchanges it for a full solid piece with black and white stripes to make it stand out more.
Exchanging the black and gray colors with bright blue and purple also makes this cosmetic stand out more, which does increase how visible they are on the map to other Survivors, but also the Killer. Also, these two colors don’t work as well together as they might with others, but players can mix and match to make this outfit more cohesive.
6Defiant Splendor
While There Are Some Cool Edges to this Outfit, the Color Combo Doesn’t Work
A recolor of Sable’s base cosmetic with a few minor unique edits,Defiant Splendorbrings some more of her cool edge, but is hampered mostly due to the color of the shirt under her corset. The ripped leggings are a nice touch, as though she has already weathered several trials, and the black and white corset add a bit of a rockabilly aesthetic, but the yellow and teal color combo of the shirt and skirt somewhat clash.
So, while this cosmetic set has a few edges over other recolors, the color scheme isn’t the most appealing, and may be too loud if trying toavoid detection of the killer. But as it is unlinked, players can mix and match parts of this set should they wish.
5Fierce Splendor
A More Detailed Version of Sable’s Original Look
For those who are tired of the same old skirt and top combo but don’t want to shell out for the more expensive skins,Fierce Splendoris here to save the day. It continues the trait of the tattered skirt and corset option, with a dark purple top, solid black corset, and a black skirt with a blue decal to the side, it stands out as more unique than other color swaps.
Simple, stylish and understated, it remains original enough to make anyone who has it equipped stand out. On top of that, the dark color scheme really helps Sable’s pale hair pop more.
4Drowned Angel
Breaking Away from Sable’s Conventional Outfits
For Sable fans wanting a wholly unique look, there is theDrowned Angellook that completely changes her hair, shirt, and switches out her skirt and Converses for trousers and boots, giving her a 80s goth vibe.
There are two variants of this outfit, the Drowned Angel injects more pink into her hair, and sees her donning a white crop shirt with low rise blue and black pinstripe pants. While not everyone will be a fan of her more poofy hair-cut, there is no denyingthis outfit stands outmore, thanks to completely changing pieces of her basic outfits and the complementary color scheme.
3Poisoned Angel
One of the Best Color Schemes Yet
Like the Drowned Angel skin,Poisoned Angelbrings back the 80s goth flair with the fluffed out hairdo, but changes the color scheme to one that is much more stylish and true to Sable’s gothic aesthetic.
Now, Sable’s black and white shirt colors are inverted and her trousers are red rather than blue. Also, the pink has been removed from her hair, which works better with her black and red color scheme. This outfit is sure to turn heads in the trial, but there is better yet to come.
