Who is the highest death from a daytime murderer? Eight years later, the Dead by Daylight character roster is bigger than ever, boasting 40 massive killers and 48 survivors at the time of writing. Thanks to its vast list of names and constant changes to perks and add-ons, it’s certainly difficult to track who you should be the main player.
Among the best PC games out there, the joy of asymmetric horror games has always been the ability to become a bad guy. Certainly there are thrilling battles for your life in survival games (I’m sure there are all the reasons why you’ll wonder what to do with the zombie apocalypse, right?) All of the following DBD Killer From remote ax throws to infectious bile and close range chainsaw attacks, they have their own scary unique powers. But which one is the best? Check out All Dead’s tierists by daytime murderers.
DBD Killer Tearist
Our tierists consider the difficulty of each killer’s actions, their unique powers, and the strength of that power when played well. For example, nurses and devastation are in layers, but these are not great choices for beginners thanks to their difficult abilities and attacks. But in the hands of DBD veterans, they are the best characters available. The individual perks of the killer have been taken into consideration slightly as they may be used interchangeably as killer builds. Add-ons are not considered.
The latest update had many killer changes, but I still haven’t had the chance to play enough killer to shuffle things. However, we’ve added a new killer to the top A tier.
This is the September 2025 Dead by Daylight Killer Tier list.
| Tier | character |
| s | Nurse, devastation, hillbilly |
| a | Kurashew, Ghoul, Spirit, Wraith, Rich, Dark Lord, Huntress, Xenomorph, Executioner, Mastermind, Nightmare, Animatronic |
| b | Good man, hound, unknown, trickster, knight, doctor, nemesis, artist, singularity, dr |
| c | Legion, Plague, Hug, Death Slinger, Oni, Twins, Pig, Clown, Ghost Face |
| d | Cannibalism, shape, Demogorgon, onryo, cenobite, trapper, skull merchant |
S layer
Nurse (very hard)
Like a hug, the nurse has the ability to quickly teleport the map with Spencer’s final breath, the blinking ability. The nurse can even blink the chain and cover the distance. However, the drawback of this power is the fatigue effect that nurses suffer after flashing. Therefore, it will take time to master the perfect timing for this skill. Incorrect movements can slow down movement speeds and allow survivors to escape. If used correctly, all four survivors can be sacrificed in record time.
Blight (very hard)
Blight is similar to a nurse. Because they are very difficult to master, but when you do it, you can hardly stop it. Rush, the power of devastation, will allow you to move the map very quickly and close to the survivors with little effort. Although you cannot attack survivors in the first rush, you can hit walls and other obstacles, activate a deadly rush, and attack during that time, giving you a valuable opportunity to bridge the gap between you and the victim. However, if you miss a wall or obstacle in the first rush, Blight will easily get tired and survivors have a chance to escape. Hope the early blight match hurts. But it’s worth sticking to it to get used to his incredibly fast speed.
Blight must be purchased at in-game stores via Auric Cell or rainbow shards, or as part of a creepy tale DLC.
Hillbilly (medium)
Before the chapter in the licensed leather chapter came, Hillbilly had died by daylighting answers to Baba Sawyer. He’s a bit of a squeeze, usually played by a few hardcore Billy fans, and is not cared for because he’s difficult to control his movements. However, Billy eventually attracted much needed attention with the 7.5.0 update, and once again reverted the rankings.
The reason for hillbilly can His chainsauce prints are straight to a state where even healthy survivors with successful hits are dying, making Hillbilly a very powerful villain to make Hillbilly a very powerful villain. The problem is that he can avoid quite easily, but after the update it will be less. If you are careful about your purpose, you are lucky enough to avoid “crashing” obstacles and not get a straight line between you and the victim. Billy may not be S-class for a nice killer, but he certainly is for those who are happy with Instard and Slug. In fact, if you’re lucky, you can finish the game in just a few minutes using this method.
Layer A
Krasue (medium)
The class, the most frightening murderer of all time, is based on traditional Thai folk tales. A beautiful woman corrupted by her own desires, Kurashew turns into a floating head to hunt at night.
The class, which began as a beautiful Bron Skapat, can only attack with a normal M1. However, her secondary form – an unembodied head with flowing internal organs – allows survivors to leech survivors in projectile attacks, and injure them in this form down.
Survivors can remove leeches by eating the sparkling fungi around the map where the Skapat has changed, but when played well, Kurashew has the ability to become one of the best killers in the game. Her projectile attacks are very difficult to master and could be abolished by good survivors, so if it wasn’t because of her learning curve, we consider her S-layer.
If you want to fly around the map as Krasue, Organs, or Intestines Akimbo, you will need to purchase the Sinister Grace DLC in-game or on Steam.
Ghoul (medium)
Ghoul is one of the most popular new murderers of all time, and given his incredible mobility, it’s not surprising. Using his Kagune, Kaneki can jump over the map and quickly catch up with the survivors. In short distances, he can use this force to overwhelm the survivors in the loop, as there is no real way to avoid injuries.
Unlike some of the other top tea killers in Dead By Daylight, Ghouls are also relatively easy to learn. In fact, you may wonder why he is not in the S rank. It was a difficult choice and we certainly could justify putting him there given the limited ways to overtake him as a survivor, but his built-in QTE and cooldown era, and the need to maintain his strength, hopefully he will be nerfed at any time.
If you want to try out Kaneki, or if you want to play as his counterpart Kamishiro Rize, you will need to buy the DLC from the in-game store.
Spirit (hard)
Spirit is often placed in the S-tier or A-tier of the player’s tierists, but once they’ve mastered it, they decided to put her in the top tier based on her performance. Again, like the killer above, Rinyamaoka is difficult to get used to, especially as her powers make her blind. That being said, you’ll find that grabbed her strength (and wear a decent headset) and that this makes her so powerful.
The spirit moves across the map in the form of her spirit, leaving her barely visible to the survivors. To counter her powerful abilities, the survivor will also become invisible to the spirit as she travels through alternative planes. The spirit is gradually progressively through the map, and she moves at a faster than usual speed, allowing her to see surprising wildlife, turbulent grass, hints of the moving environment of the generator, and clues to where the survivors are lurking. The key is to use audio to surprise the survivors. Getting power at the right moment can surprise your survivors. As the teleport killer progresses, the spirit is Slightly It’s easy for beginners to learn as the camera moves with her, rather than re-emerging in new locations.
On PC, Spirit is another killer, Auric Cell or IRI shard, or as part of a crazy dark DLC that you have to buy from the in-game shop.
Wraith (easy)
While one of the “easiest” killers available, Wraith, still widely used by Comp and longtime players, is truly a trade killer and is extremely popular for booting. Using his lamenting bell power, Wraith is almost completely invisible to the survivors. If you pay close attention to your surroundings, he can be made vaguely as blurry, but this means that he can easily sneak into players who are obsessed with repairs and healing. While shaking, the Wraith increases movement speed, allowing Wily players to easily close gaps. The warning is that he cannot hurt or lower them while he is covered. To do this, you need uncloak first. This will slow the wraith’s movement slightly.
Wraith is a great killer for quickly sacrificing survivors, but the trick to mastering the killer will let you know exactly when to cloak and Uncloak. Also, don’t trip by not holding the action button in uncloak long enough.
Rich (medium)
Rich had some issues during PTB, so he naturally received some buffs before it was fully released. Now, the character voiced by Matthew Mercer is one of the top killers in the game. Vecna’s spell wheel is a whole new mechanic, so at first there is a small learning curve to overcome, placing four icons on the screen when selecting the spell to use. However, once you’ve gotten familiar with where each spell is and what it does, you can use Rich to control most of the map at once.
Dungeon and Dragon characters can use his four spells to fly obstacles (like nurses), move or block palettes (like knights), send projectiles that have caused damage to the world (like unknowns and artists), or project spheres that expose their auras. That’s a lot of power. Once survivors know how to use them well, they have a hard time fighting against Rich.
If you want to cast a spell on an unsuspecting survivor, you will need to purchase the Dungeons and Dragons chapter from the in-game store, or use only Auric Cells to get your character.
Dark Road (Hard)
Dracula, or the Dark Lord, like Rich before him, has a similar combination of powers to those of other murderers. As the first shape-changing killer, Dracula can take the shape of a wolf or bat, as well as his own original vampire form to track and chase the survivors.
The shape of the bat is similar to the power of a spirit in that it cannot be seen by the survivors, but moves faster and allows for more ease of tracking the scratch marks. This format also allows Dracula to teleport. Meanwhile, as a wolf, the DRAC can move fast and also perform a charge attack similar to the Demogorgon’s shredded attack. In his vampire form, the Dark Lord can throw a pillar of fire before him, as well as the punishment of the executioner. Switching between these powers is not easy at first, but once mastered, you can see why Dracula is now the best DBD killer.
The Dark Lord can be purchased independently as part of the Castlevania Chapter DLC or in-game stores.
Huntress (medium)
Most of our A-Layer killers have some form of ranged attack, but our lovely huntress was the first in her hunting hatch, a long-range weapon. This power makes for a truly first-rate killer as Eagle’s eyes and sharp shots can defeat survivors within seconds of starting a match. You will need to land two hits to down the player, but there is only a slight cooldown between the throws. This can be reduced with add-ons. Injuring the first hatch will slow the survivors down as normal, so instead you can chase them with basic melee attacks.
The biggest advantage of ranged attacks is the ability to attack survivors with pallets and windows between you, but be careful not to run out of hatch. Huntress limits five hand hands at a time (unless there is a leather loop add-on), so please refill your hand hatch regularly from your locker.
Xenomorph (medium)
Xenomorph has not actually slipped off the A-Tier since it was introduced in August 2023 as part of the Alien DLC. The only reason to remove this killer from the S-Tier rank is that this decision can be made even higher with alien friends, not perks or add-ons, based on the base character.
As a standalone character, no matter who chooses to kit it out in a kit, Xenomorph is still very powerful thanks to its base kit aura reading ability. While in the underground tunnel, Xenomorph will cross the path above the ground and see the player’s footsteps. You can also hear the generator underground. This makes it very easy to place players. Please come out of the tunnel. If you’re close enough, these survivors can trigger killer instincts and may already be added to the OURA reading function. The only thing that brings this murderer back from existence Too much What’s good is its slightly lower base speed and nasty flame turret used by survivors to counter this killer. That being said, as discussed in the Alien launch day opinion, they could still be somewhat buffed, and Xenomorph will still be a strong attacker.
If you crave underground like Xenokitty, Xenomorph, you must purchase it yourself or as part of the Alien chapter.
Executor (very difficult)
Fans of the Silent Hill franchise will instantly recognize the Pyramid Head (executor) from the official Silent Hill branch. Executors are complex killers to play, and a variety of actions are available, but if played well, they can become an absolute powerhouse.
Without too much detail about all the components of the executioner, the most important thing to know is pain and ultimate judgment. Using the power of pyramid heads, the ritual of judgment, carve openings into the ground – especially useful over engrossed survivors or generators, or entrances and exits. If the survivors are walking this, they are given suffering. That is, if you enter the struggle phase/second phase with a hook or cage, you can be killed (or mori’d) immediately. This is the final decision. So, the best way to play the executioner is to hook all survivors twice, rather than prioritizing its third final capture. Then you can make that final decision.
Executor is another character that must be purchased from the in-game shop on your PC or in the Silent Hill Chapter DLC.
Mastermind (center)
The Wesker, or mastermind of Project W, could be everyone’s favorite DBD dad. He takes over Trapper and Trickstar in his fanbase, but he is also a very strong killer. Combined with ranged attacks and the ability to instantly carry survivors when played well, masterminds have no real drawbacks – Master How to play him.
Wesker has a standard melee basic attack, but he can also charge at his power, survivors with toxic boundaries. Running straight with the Survivor, Wesker slams them against the wall and loses health, but injuring the survivors if they collide with the obstacle. In any case, toxic binding causes survivors to infect urobros virus. Unless the survivor uses first aid spray, infections increase slowly – both results benefit as fully infected survivors are picked up instantly in another successful attack, and using the spray reveals their location.
To infect survivors with the Urobros virus, you must purchase Wesker yourself from the DBD’s in-game store or as part of Project W DLC.
Good man (medium)
Chucky came straight out of the gate as one of the best killers for both beginners and experts. After his minor release Narff, which changed the maneuverability of his slices and dice forces, Chucky remains one of the most brutal murderers. His slice and dice action is in the hidy-ho mode, Chucky’s other power, despite being a bit difficult to control for those unfamiliar with playing killer, and his slight size means he’s still an incredibly strong killer. Hidey-Ho mode is no longer able to detect Chucky and he is shorter than most windows, making it very easy to sneak up on unsuspecting victims, as a new player on the killer side.
If you want to play a good guy or a good gal, Chucky and Tiffany can be purchased from the in-game shop or as a DLC.
Nightmare (Media)
Yes, yes, we moved Freddie Kruger to the lower tier, never before. In January 2025, Nightmare went through some serious changes as one of the worst killers to play after years of hatred.
Freddie’s power still puts the survivors into the dream world, and all survivors automatically enter the dream world over time, hitting with basic attacks. But now he has the power to create a palette of dreams and A dream snare. When sleeping, the player cannot hear Freddie’s radius of fear, and is more severely affected by the dream snare and palette.
Freddie can explode the dream palette, injure survivors sleeping within an effective area, and accelerate the dream timer for awakening survivors. This damage effect is one of the two most powerful moves, which gives Freddie a remote attack. His dream snare speeds up the sleep timer for alarm survivors, but it hinders and slows down significantly. Survivors can wake up by lacking skill checks or interacting with alarm clocks around the map, but while they sleep, Freddie now has a strong advantage.
You can only eat your dreams if you purchase a nightmare from an in-game shop on your PC with Auric Cells or as part of an Elm Street DLC nightmare.
Animatronic (hard)
Animatronics marked a key moment of death by daytime history. SpringTrap, the most demanded killer of all time, finally arrived in Chapter 36, quickly marking him as one of the best characters in the game. A simple A-layer killer.
The only thing that will keep the animatronics from getting stronger is his slow speed and sharp drop-off of x of his fire. If you’ve ever played Huntress, it takes some time to get used to this remote weapons project, let alone what you claimed her. Although I don’t include add-ons in this list, the help is worth using if you’re struggling with it, as the general add-ons in AD show x trajectories, and probably raises the tier rankings for Afton. The strongest part of the animatronics is to use the door to the security room to cross the map quickly, but you’ll feel his slow speed in the pursuit.
To access the security room and jump Scare Survivors as a yellow rabbit, you will need to purchase the FNAF chapter from the in-game store.
Layer B
Hound Master (Medium)
An incredibly bad ass houndmaster and her hound, snugly, arrived on Chapter 34, the course of destiny. At first, it was tough to see where she fits in on the tierists, thanks to bugs and other issues. But she is now settling in her place in the mist, and it can be safely said that Portia May is at least a high B-level murderer.
The reason for this is her beloved pet dog, perfect for it. It can be hard to get tight control (and therefore why is Houndmaster not high on the list), but getting it can be a fatal force. Once he catches the survivor tightly, he latches it into their arms and keeps them from moving. This not only makes it easier to stop survivors in their trucks, but also makes them easier to follow, as well as knight guards, as well as crown control. Send one-way obstacles in one hand while you are heading in the opposite direction.
To play perfectly with Portia, you will need to purchase the original murderer from the in-game shop.
Unknown (medium)
Next to the next posture, the unknown, is the scariest and creepy original killer from his actions so far. This twisted presence offers some of the most fun gameplay you can play in either role thanks to his inexplicable voice lines, UVX power and a combination of several existing killers.
By charging an unknown UVX, you can throw an explosive projectile at survivors, just like a specificity biopod. If the pod is hit directly, the survivors will be thwarted and become weaker when they hit an explosion. Like the artist’s bird, if it is hit again, if the survivor is hit again, the debilitated survivor can be injured and gets injured and gets two hits. By making it even more difficult to hurt the survivors with this power, they can actually see you, get the obvious inspiration of Ghostface, and remove the weakened effects of seeing you.
All of this may sound like the unknown is lower than the B layer. However, this power can actually be used in a variety of ways to put pressure on the survivors, and is not always a direct attack. The best way to use UVX doesn’t even need to hit the survivors. Dodging the blast is simply because you can force their movements and push them towards a basic attack. For example, it is much more difficult for a survivor to loop through the unknown than some other killers.
Next, there are unknown hallucinations that appear sporadically throughout the game. Players can remove them, but any person who still acts as a killer teleport point can move very quickly across the map, allowing survivors to apply even more pressure when repairing the generator.
The unknown can be purchased in-game or as part of all of the evil DLC in rainbow shrapnel.
Trickstar (medium)
Fan favorite for his boyish good looks, Trickstar is surprisingly unpopular as the main character. His remote ability, ShowStopper, allows the trickster to throw multiple sharp blades at the survivors, through the pallet, and even through the window. As a survivor against him, he may feel that as your tear meter increases rapidly, it can become impossible to avoid. After that, all successful hits charge a Trickster event meter. This unleashes the even more deadly onslaught of throwing a knife when it’s full. However, ShowStopper slows the trickster so much that without a good purpose there is no real benefit at all. The Trickster got a big narff in his powers, reducing his hits to 8 before the main event, but did not appear to make him more desirable as a killer. If you want to run tricksters, try out some useful builds in other areas, such as interfering with generator repairs or revealing the location of survivors.
Unfortunately, if you want to free up your knife-throwing skill and try out Trickster, you’ll need to go and pick him up at the in-game shop or as part of a creepy tale DLC.
Knight (medium)
Knight is a difficult murderer to make this list. He is extremely difficult to grasp thanks to three different security guards. However, knights’ powers are complicated, but can be devastating to the survivors when mastered. The knight is not alone, his power capabilities can call up guards to make his bids, break pallets, break generators, and hunting survivors at the same time. Use this to leave the guard to do that while you are on one dive from health to death (one from guard, one hit from you), or while you are completely hunting other survivors.
Knights are available as part of the Forged in Fog chapter, but must be purchased from the in-game shop or as part of the Endless Hunt DLC pack before you can start summoning your guards.
Doctor (hard)
The doctor is another killer with just a basic attack, but if you make the most of his special abilities, he is perfect for finding survivors and slowing down progress.
Carter’s spark, the power of the doctor, affects the insanity nearby survivors. The more they go insanity, the more difficult the skill check will be, the skill check will fail, the location will become clear and the effect will affect the progress of the generator repair. Every time a player hits Carter’s spark, they scream, reveal their positions, and Madness Levels II and III also trigger the illusion of the doctor, helping them find the approximate position of the player again. Learning the accuracy of doctors’ sparks will help you track where they are and put your game in a complete advantage while slowing down the progress of survivors.
In this case, apples per day won’t keep the doctor away – he’s not near you. He is also part of the Madness Darkness DLC Pack.
Nemesis (hard)
DBD fans know they love Resident Evil Crossovers. The first DBD “Sequel” regains RESI in Chapter 25. However, the original chapter brought us our Nemesis, another killer with difficult abilities to master, but it’s very fun to play.
Nemesis’ T-Virus Power allows him to infect survivors counting as additional health conditions, but the victim is injured on the second hit. This status is given by the Nemesis tentacles. In other words, it is a ranged attack that can be used through pallets and windows. The more successful T-Virus infections, the more it adds the ability to destroy pallets and increase movement speed. Next is the Nemesis zombie. This not only infects survivors who can get too close and leave the generator, but also warns them of their location when they are careful.
It is not automatically available, so you will also have to pay Nemesis on your PC. Buy him using Auric Cell in-game or as part of Resident Evil DLC.
Artist (medium)
Another killer with a kind of attack, the artist’s precious crow swarm can do a lot of work for you. Send 1-3 crows along with the suffering bird. Their flight continues, but instead of injuring the distant survivors, they instead attract the herds around the survivors’ heads, warning you of their location. This combination allows you to easily defeat a small number of survivors in close succession, but you will need to get close to use basic melee attacks. If you leave a crow attack behind, it not only does nothing, but also warns survivors to activate your location.
Put away the paintbrush and take out your wallet. As you also have to pay on your PC, as you can get a piece of Auric Cell or IRI, or as part of the Infinite Hunt DLC Pack.
Singularity (hard)
The Singularity, or Hux-A7-13, was added in the End Transmission chapter along with Gabriel Soma.
The singu, even known as the lovingly singu, or even Larry, is very strong – in fact, there is only one small reason to protect him from the S-layer, in our opinion, and it is the ability and knowledge of death by your own daytime map. Singularity works very well as an M1 killer (in the first singularity game, he won without perks), but to get the most out of Hux, he wants to use his Biopod Power.
His quantum instance power allows him to place “camera” around the map of a biopod, allowing him to spy, find and even inflict “slipstream” effects on survivors. Like twins, while switching camera views, the singularity leaves this motionless body on the map, but you need to remember where they are related to each other and the position they use effectively.
One of the best uses of the power of singularity is the ability to teleport to slipstreamed survivors. With a Biopod, get the survivor in front of you. This way you can break any pallets that may be at your destination and jump straight away. Survivors can compete with biopods and slipstreams by utilizing EMP devices around the map.
Singularity can be purchased by himself or as part of the final transmission DLC.
dredge (medium)
Edge arrives at the roots of the horrifying chapter and has some very unique abilities. However, if you play well, it may be unstoppable to drag out.
When playing dr, the main ability to utilize is its special ability, gromming. Remaining behind the rest, the edge can teleport to a visible locker. This reveals survivors standing slightly away from the locker, allowing you to quickly know if someone is nearby. If not, you can choose to leave anyway or teleport twice more. This is even better when dusk is activated and plunges the survivor into the darkness and removes the dr’s radius of fear for 60 seconds. There are so many ways to use Dredge’s teleport skills, from jumping in front of Chase survivors to stop the generator from progressing and simply finding its location. That being said, in Chase, the judges are slow and he is incredibly loud, so survivors often hear you come from the road even at dusk.
Edges must be purchased from the in-game shop or as part of the Endless Hunt DLC Pack.
Layer C
Legion (easy)
As a survivor, you may attack a lot on Legion yourself, and you may lose a lot to them, but that doesn’t automatically mean that they are good killers. Legion slows down survivors’ progress significantly and is great for extending the game, but it’s difficult to actually defeat and hook victims.
The problem with Legion is that their power, the wild frenzy, can increase movement speeds, but can be extremely difficult to control. Plus, their special attack, the wild slash, requires 5 hits to down the survivors, rather than the usual two. If you are unsure or miss a hit, the wild frenzy ends, surprise you again and gives the survivors the opportunity to escape and heal. The best play with Legion is simply using wild slash once to hunt for another victim, causing the first wound with a deep wound. Deep wounds are additional injured states with timers that force survivors to heal – or heal – do not enter a dying state after the timer is gone. All this time, they’ve wasted time repairing valuable generators.
Get your PC’s in-game shop, Legion with Auric Cell or IRI shards, or as part of an old scratched DLC pack.
Plague (hard)
Adillis, the high priest of Babylonian, uses her infectious plague to harm survivors despite the protective nature found in her behind-the-scenes. Another ranged attacker, the Plague, may be good for a new killer who hates melee attacks, but her special abilities can slow things down, so she may have a hard time sacrificeing all four victims. A vile purge will infect survivors and only get injured after a while – something they can also be removed. Another good trick is to infect players who know that they can “infect” generators and other environmental objects and interact with them. Survivors can use pools of devotion to heal themselves, but this pool can use you as a plague to activate the corrupt purge, the ability to get injured in an attack rather than infecting.
The Plague must be purchased from the in-game shop before using her on a PC, before using Auric Cell or IRI shards, or as part of an old wounded DLC pack.
Hug (very hard)
HAG was previously an S-tier killer, but then went down the rankings and lost the crown. This is not due to a change to Heg herself, but mainly due to changes in her best perks.
Hug, aka Lisa Sherwood, has the power to “form mud in her will,” trapping the fantasies in the ground. Once the player stands on one of these traps, the hug can be teleported immediately if it is within 40 meters. Hide the phantom traps around generators, hooks and loops will allow the survivors to catch the most impact, but if the appearance is clearly positioned, the survivors are too disguised so well that they do. Survivors can also wipe off the trap. Just like the trapper who also fell from glory, the hug takes up much prep work for the reward.
On PCs, HAGs are not automatically accessible and must be purchased from in-game shops or as part of a crazy Darkness DLC pack.
Death Slinger (Hard)
They are far less rough than the Deathslinger in Wild West. Deathslinger’s incredibly unique power allows him to attach a harpoon to a modified rifle to induce survivors. This does not hurt the survivors themselves, but they can be brought close enough to attack them. Doing so while they are embraced with a spear also causes deep wounds. However, survivors can release themselves from the spear, so make sure to do this in a clear area. You can release yourself most easily by placing and pulling back walls and rocks between you. This will inflict deep wounds, but it will surprise you and give them the opportunity to escape.
Unfortunately, before you become Wild, you will need to buy Deathslinger from the in-game shop.
oni (very difficult)
The great great grandfather of the spirit, Yamoka is an incredibly powerful killer, capable of moving far away at speed with demon dashes, allowing survivors to travel directly from their health to death on demon strikes. However, both of these require the absorption of blood balls left by injured survivors. This means that you need to land many successful hits before you can activate the force.
If you fantasize your chances with this very hard killer or as part of an old wounded DLC pack with this very intense killer, pick up ONI from an in-game shop with Auric Cell or IRI shards.
Twins (very hard)
The twins Charlotte and Victor are somewhat of a scary DBD original. Not growing properly, Victor protrudes from her sister’s breasts and emerges from her uterus.
In DBD killer terms, this means that Charlotte can send screeching winners who traverse the map to hunt down the victims. Meanwhile, Charlotte will remain in place as you control her siblings. This is not a bad force as it uses Victor’s increased travel speed to corner the survivor’s location. Victor then can attack players and temporarily neutralize them. The downside is that a timing kick allows survivors to stop Victor’s attack and escape, and Charlotte could be quite apart on the big map, making the power useless.
You will need to purchase twins from the in-game shop on your PC. Or, if you want to run around as Victor, you will need to buy it as part of the McCar Story DLC Pack.
Pig (hard)
Thor’s pig is another interesting killer, often used and can lead to success, but if used incorrectly it only prolongs pain on behalf of a survivor.
The best process for success is to try and lock all players into reverse bear traps as quickly as possible. These traps become active as soon as the generator is complete and begin counting down to a deadly attack. Not only does they take time to remove, but there are only a limited number of jigsaw boxes that survivors can do. This is time to not repair the generator. Plus, if multiple players are locked up at the same time, you may need to travel further to find a free jigsaw box, which will waste even more time. If that countdown reaches the end before deleting a trap, the survivor will be immediately victimized, even if it has never been hooked. To counter the incredible power of these traps, you are limited to four per match and can be removed immediately depending on your luck.
This very unique killer must be purchased in-game or as part of the SAW DLC before it can be played on PC using Auric Cells.
Clown (medium)
The power of a clown involves mixing and throwing potions. Purple tonics for survivors to affect their vision and speed of movement, and yellow antidote for themselves, increase movement speed. But this is because you need to have a good purpose, but it’s also easy to throw the wrong potions when switching between them. Hitting survivors with antidotes not only increases the speed of movement, but also heals from the drunken effects caused by tonics.
Clown went up a little on our list after increasing the number of potions that he could carry at once, making his power a little easier to handle. Considering that his after-piece tonic slows the survivors in Chase, if you master this killer and his powers, he can be devastating.
I’ve appropriately named how easy it is to throw the wrong potion. You will need to buy a clown with Auric Cell from your PC’s in-game shop or as part of a crazy Darkness DLC pack.
Ghost Face (Hard)
Ghostface is one of the most recognizable characters in the daytime, despite not actually an officially licensed chapter (and therefore the intentional ghostface format of that name). However, Ghostface, which was heavily influenced by the original horror villain, is one of the few stealth killers to die in the daytime.
One of the only killers in the game where you can squat down, Ghostface can easily sneak up behind unsuspecting survivors, especially those who are focused solely on repairing generators. Activating his nighttime shroud power makes him undetectable, and the lack of a radius of fear makes it even more difficult for the survivor to know that he is behind him. While squatting and hidden, the ghostface can sneak up on the survivors, and the full stem action marks the survivors and leaves them exposed for a while. With that in mind, all this doesn’t change the fact that Ghost Face’s only attack method has no bonuses. As this is a simple brawl, the only way to succeed in this killer is to master its stealth stem abilities.
Although it’s not an official crossover, you’ll need to buy Ghost Face from the in-game shop on your PC with Auric Cells or as part of the Ghost Face DLC.
D-Tier
Cannibalism (medium)
The official leather face killer isn’t as good as DBD’s original Hillbilly. However, his chainsooth weep offers a wide range of attacks in contrast to Hillbilly’s lunges, so if you’re struggling with survivor hits, it might work for you. The sweep attack affects the entire area before the cannibalism, but his special attack reaches the perimeter around the killer, so both can strike multiple casualties. However, the cons are mostly cannibalistic and outperform the pros, as survivors can see your attacks come in and travel speed is affected and there is a heavy cooldown.
If you want to feast on human meat, you will need to pony your pony as you will need to purchase it from your PC’s in-game shop or as part of the Leatherface DLC.
Shape (medium)
Michael Myers, known in-game as Shape, is a long game killer. So if you’re like us and struggling to find survivors, this is probably not a killer for you. However, if you are willing to spend time with this stealth stalker, you can turn him from a shadowy figure into a murder machine at the final moments of the match.
The power of form activates evil within evil, creeping up at the prey from afar. Just watching your victims get into business will upgrade your evil within your abilities and become more powerful at each level. The evil in me gives undetectable stats, but reduces basic attack charges and movement speeds. Evil within II reduces your fear radius while increasing the speed of movement and attacking the charge. However, if you hang firmly until you become evil within III, all survivors will be affected by the exposed status effects. This means you can lower them with just one hit. Evil in III will return to level 2 after 60 seconds. It is also worth knowing that survivors listen to audio cues whenever evil rises within the level. However, you can finish the game within seconds while all four are exposed.
To take advantage of the potential for quick ending shapes on PC, you will need to buy him from an in-game shop with Auric Cell or as part of the Halloween DLC.
Demogorgon (hard)
Demogorgon is very fun to try, and is even very competitive with some important practices, but it is not the most fruitful killer compared to other practices. Turn things upside down, the power of Demogorgon’s deep by literally sends you upside down. Place two portals to allow you to travel between them through creepy planes. This is similar to the power of HAGs and nurses, but the triggers are not quick and easy to navigate, making them less valuable than they do. However, in Endgame it may be useful to travel between the exit doors. Don’t forget to place the portal on the door in advance.
The best Demogorgon ability is its special attack, Shred. Like hillbilly and blighted ones, shreds are charge attacks, filling the gap between killers and survivors, and on successful hits, placing survivors in injured or dead states. Combining Demogorgon’s portal and shred makes you a powerful killer, but it’s hard to truly master.
To enter Hawkins and Upside Down, you will need to purchase Demogorgon from the in-game shop or as part of the Stranger Things DLC.
Onurio (hard)
Sadly, despite the highly anticipated release in Sadako’s Sada Collising Chapter, players have not actually warmed up to the Ring villain as a DBD killer.
Sadako’s abilities are undoubtedly cool, allowing television to appear on the map when she is a murderer, allowing her to teleport. And while the animation for that is great, it’s slow and obvious. So the victim can see you coming from a mile away. But not only is it much more difficult to use for your benefit than, for example, similar powers of a dredge, but if a survivor removes the tape from the TV, they can’t teleport anyway. Sadako was not loved before edge, so unfortunately she is left with her even more.
Despite her numerous flaws, if you like to try Sadako, you’ll need to buy her at Auricsel from the in-game shop on your PC.
Cenobite (very hard)
Sadly, Hellraiser’s Pinhead, or Cenobite, doesn’t raise much hell. His chain of pain summons can be frustrating for survivors, but they will not slow them down for a long time, with only benefits coming in between repairs and healing. However, as soon as the player picks up and completes the composition box of lament, the chain retreats. Cenobite can teleport to the player during the puzzle process, but smart survivors can prevent this by completing the lamenting composition puzzle, such as otherwise carrying another survivor. The only real reason to play as Cenobite is a bit fun…and to hear his now infamous line of voice, “I’m here.”
Unfortunately, you will need to go to the PC’s in-game shop for Cenobite.
Trapper (easy)
Trapper, or Evan Macmillan from Macmillan Estate, is an interesting melee attacker who can become extremely powerful when used well. As you can expect from the name, trapper, well, his enemies.
Positioning bear traps around the map allows survivors to be neutralised, and when survivors step into one, visual and audio tips will play and alert you of their location. Once they enter the trap, they have to try and release themselves. They can try several attempts and stay open as easy prey. All this makes the Trapper an easy and powerful killer. Place the windows and pallets in a strong loop as long as you are using the trap effectively.
Unfortunately, Trapper has lost some of his brilliance over the years and has slipped down DBD tierists on the internet. There are only two traps in the first place. This means that you have the ability to carry only two at a time (without add-ons), and the rest is scattered around the map. Now, you can lose the game before you start, using more survivor items and perks than when he was first released.
Skull Merchant (Hard)
Skull merchants see regular changes as she is widely disliked throughout the community. The latest Nerv made her her again again, perhaps to prevent the player from being cut off when playing against her, which in our opinion made her the worst murderer in the game. Currently, skull merchant drones must not be an issue for survivors. Also, killers can change directional rotation, which is a hard mechanic for proper use, especially when focusing on tracking. Many killers these days are hard to fight, but the skull merchants are sadly totally against it.
If you still want to play as a Skull Merchant, you will need to purchase it at the in-game shop or as part of the Endless Hunt DLC pack.
If you can’t get enough of these charming performers, you may be interested in seeing some of them in a completely different setting that’s crazy about you: DBD Dating SIM. Go back to the original game and make sure you redeemed the latest DBD code for some bonus blood points and lift fragments.
