How to Play

Race from Ash IV to Iridescent I the fair way. The tool measures what's actually in your control: how many matches, and how much real match time.

1 Why this is fair

Most Race to Iri events just measure who reaches it first on the clock. That punishes bad queues, disconnects, and matches that drag on, none of which you control. This tool only counts your active match time and your match count, so the race is about how you actually play, not your luck with lobbies.

2 Start the race

Pick Killer or Survivor and hit Begin. You always start at Ash IV, just like the grade reset, so every race is measured from the same line. Killer and Survivor have their own separate leaderboards.

3 Time each match
  • Start Match as you load into a trial. The match timer starts ticking.
  • End Match the moment the trial ends. The timer stops instantly, so queue and lobby time never count.
  • Then tell it how the match went (below). Between matches, nothing is counted.
4 Log your pips

After each match, tap what you earned. In Dead by Daylight you can never lose a pip, so it's only ever one of three:

  • Safety (0), you held your grade, no progress.
  • Single (+1), one pip earned.
  • Double (+2), a great match, two pips.

The grade badge climbs exactly like the game does. You can also mark a Win or Loss (optional) to get a win-rate on your result card.

5 The pips to Iri 1

It's 85 pips from Ash IV to Iridescent I. The badge fills the right number of slots for each grade:

6 Hit Iri 1

The moment your last pip ticks you into Iridescent I, the race ends automatically and your result card shows your total matches and total active time. Submit it to the leaderboard from the result screen or the Past Attempts tab.

7 Seasons & the Hall of Fame

The grade resets on the 13th of each month at 11:00 AM ET, and the season leaderboard resets with it so everyone gets a fresh run. The all-time top 3 per side stay pinned in the Hall of Fame forever, or until someone beats them. Your Past Attempts never wipe.

🎥 Streaming it (Twitch + OBS)

Run the race live and let chat drive it. In Settings → 📺 Twitch Integration, type your channel and hit Connect, then choose who's allowed to use commands (Broadcaster and Mods by default; VIPs and Subscribers optional).

Chat commands:

!start killer     start a race as killer
!start survivor   start a race as survivor
!match            start timing a match (as you load in)
!safe             end match, 0 pips (safety)
