    Feng Min. The cutest survivor ever.

    And also. The most confident survivor ever. While other survivors just staying in lobby scared, she smiles. Can you imagine that? She don't gave up hope in this dark and cruel place, nor she ever will. All her attitude is like "just give me a challenge". Not to mention, the smile is really beautiful.

    This smile really had a shocking impact on me.

    Claudette. I picked her up to get Self Care as a perk, and eventually make it a teachable. Then I got a good build on her and just kept with her. Not to mention her passive ability. That kinda helped.

    Currently working up a Yui build to become more of a runner. Gonna start using her a bit more when I figure out what I want to do with her build.

    When I started to play, the only survivor that didn't seem ugly for me was Meg, the first 100 hours I was maining her, then for some reason I changed to claudette while I was leveling her up and she was my fist prestige 3. Then, after the cosmetics shop came out, I bought cosmetics for neas because she has the ones I most liked and since then she's my one, but I still play claudette a lot.

    Then Yui should also be suitable for you then

    I main Jane - I have all (Yui’s excluded) perks on her, p3ed her, and have a whole wardrobe for her. I like making cute outfits. I also like how she isn’t a skinny little high schooler like all the other ladies.

    I SAY Nancy is my other main but I haven’t had time to p3 her. Ironically, Ash is at p1 first but because I think it’s canon he should be bloody. Yui’s backstory is really cool so I might add her too. Ultimately though at the end of the day, I’m a Jane main first and foremost.

    Jane for obvious reasons 🤤

    I use borrowed, adrenaline, DH, and DS.

    Ash because who doesn't love good old Ash Williams? I really like his slug punishing perks.

    Jeff Johanson obviously because he's the most overpowered survivor in the game. His altruistic, stealthy, and pro sabo perk set really fit my playstyle.

    Laurie Strode for her high risk high reward gameplay to give a sense of thrill.

    David would probably be my main im also liking yui i just need level her more

    Ace, Meg and Kate.

    They're all P3 all perks and I just like how they look + their cosmetics.

    Im a survivor main and I like Dwight mostly because of his lore and that worried look over his face aswell as the fact that he's associated with hiding alot abit of a meme really but nonetheless I still like him and his cosmetics.

    For Killer it will always be the Hillbilly I love that chainsaw sprint and insta down that no killers really have without powering there abilities and whatnot.

    I main Kate, because I like her cosmetics. I used to main Meg, but she mostly gets sporty cosmetics that I don't like.

    I main the ascended God Jeff "Jesus John Wick" Johanson and currently main Legion cause I like being the underdog and somehow winning with him at rank 1 is satisfying

    Big booty Jane. I liked her looks and lore when she was released and she just sort of turned into my main.

  • Springey
    Springey Member Posts: 286

    I was first a David King main.

    Then I mained Kate when she came out, I really liked her character and outfits.

    Now I'm maining Nancy, she is my favorite character + I think that she looks the best in the game 👀

    I'm still rarely playing David too tho.

  • PraiseTheBreadI
    PraiseTheBreadI Member Posts: 10

    Meg, mainly because I had game at my friends and she was using Meg and I sort of just stuck with her, i love her perks

    And I'm a Hag main because in love the trap she has especially with the Shackles add on (where they get no indication that they have tripped my trap) so I can just pop up right next to them, hit/drop and hook them 🤘

  • MegMain98
    MegMain98 Member Posts: 2,919

    I alternate between a lot of characters. I play all the female characters quite frequently. I also play Steve and Dwight quite a bit.

    First character I played was Meg though. I guess I connected with her because we have a similar style.

  • StardustSpeedway
    StardustSpeedway Member Posts: 882

    Dwight and shirtless David.

    Dwight because I love all 3 of his perks and his cosmetics. Shirtless David because, do I need to say anything else!?

    Nea

    I like her Cosmetics a lot, she has the coolest outfits in my opinion. But I was also enjoying Quentin when getting all Perks on him, his P3 looks great.

  • PistolTimb
    PistolTimb Member Posts: 1,413

    Ace Visconti. He's got a cocky yet charismatic aura. Plus I've always been a lucky bastard, so maining a Gambler seemed appropriate

    Blendette - I like to hide from time to time ! Sadly not many other survivors are capable of that

    I like TAPPY BOI because I like screaming TENACITY while crawling to other survivors.

    I used to main Kate because of her looks and cool cosmetics. Later on I've switched to Meg, without any reason, just got bored with Kate I guess. Now I'm prestiging Yui and she's definitely gonna be my new main, she's so damn cool. When they announced Stranger Things DLC I decided to main Steve, but his voice is so damn annoying I simply cannot play him 😣

    David because he’s hot, and he was the first character I leveled up for WGLF. Of course, I run him shirtless.

    Jeff because I like his backstory, his design in general, and his P3 looks awesome. I love the rocker blood swipe he gets. Best P3 in the game.

    I also run Dwight a lot because I find running Head On with him hilarious. Plus he’s adorkable! I’m really enjoying the Dweard skin now that it’s on PS4.

    For Killer, my favorite and best is 100% Billy. I just like his aggressive play style.

    Feng Min just because she has good design based on lore, aesthetics, cosmetics, and appels to my eyes. She also is the only survivor I put any time into so she's P3 all perks.

    I also started with her.

    I always debate on adding another survivor, but why bother when I can work on killers?

    David - I'm from the UK like he is, and he's cool and handsome. Great outfits.

    Jeff - He's cute and has a cool vibe.

    Dwight - He's adorable!

    Yui, because she has the best outfits

    Jane, Quentin and Dwight are the three I play the most.

    They all have nice butts. I'm an assman, it can't be helped.

    I main Kate, because she looks a bit like Aloy from Horizon: Zero Dawn.

    And when i'm drunk i play meg.

  • VoodooMan7995
    VoodooMan7995 Member Posts: 137

    I've mained Claudette and Bill for a while now. I just like how they play versus how other survs play. Bill is faster than most big characters, but hes a bit louder. Claudette has cosmeticd to blend in with any suroundings, and shes fast and quiet.

    For Killer, I used to play a lot of GhostFace & Hag, and sometimes still do. But I play Doctor and Huntress a lot more. Doctor and Huntress have great abilities, and docotr is underused so not many know what to expect because they have never fought him. Huntress is fast, decently quiet for a killer, and her hatchets are awesome.

    Bill, because Left 4 Dead is my favourite video game of all time.

    Once I become not-Trash as Survivor, I intend to main Jake because I like his Blight skin.

  • ThiccThighs

    The first survivor I ever played and made my main was Nea. I loved her cosmetics and her lore. Her starter perks, mostly urban evasion, also fit my playstyle.

    Then JANE got released and I got whiplash with how quick she became my main. I love that her model isn't some petite, young girl. She has my body type and I have to admit that that is what attracted me to her. Throw in the fact that she's Hispanic and has a great perk set and the decision was made. She's the only survivor I bothered to get -all- the cosmetics for and the first one that I got to P3.

    I play with David Tapp because he hides so well in the dark, also he looks cool.

    Steve Harrington is one of the best Stranger Things character, who changed a lot from the first to the third season, he's a really nice guy and his altruistic personality fits with my playstyle of helping others first, currently I don't prestige my characters but he's the second of being prestiged, the first one was Feng Min.

    Ash Williams is a meme man and also fits my altruistic playstyle for him, as I like to use Mettle of Man, he's a jerk, but not a bad guy and will amend his errors.

    Now I want to try out Quentin because he looks cool and destroyed by drugs, also his fashion is pretty nice, and I really like that, never watched Nightmare on Elm Street remake tho.

    I main a Nea because punk skater and I like being the entity.

  • GoodBoyKaru
    GoodBoyKaru Member Posts: 22,810

    David because he's an absolute beefcake, love his design, skins, the lot. 2nd chats her I ever levelled, and I find his perks really interesting and fun.

    Claudette as well, because she's the first character I ever levelled. I used to love Self Care since before the healing nerf, and overall I also like her design. Also P3 blendette is always fun to play as (against eh).

    Jane, I love her cosmetics but it's too bad that the new ones don't really match, I don't like the purple they're giving her on her new cosmetics.

    And Also David, I love his red pants with the chains but too bad they made his face ugly, I know it fits with his lore but that makes me play him less.

    Meg,nea,ash...

    Meg - war paint

    Nea - on reason

    Ash - Da its ash lol

    Yui. I used to main Meg when I first started, then Feng, then Nancy. But I think I like Yui enough to commit to maining her. I like her perks and backstory, and I love the cosmetics.

    For killer I main Ghostface. Just my favorite slasher in general. And I love catching survivors off-guard.

  • Mothpool
    Mothpool Member Posts: 2

    I main Feng and Quentin, sometimes Ace. I got really attached to Quentin somehow and he's always been one of my favorites even though he looks like a crackhead. Feng because I just randomly started to main her and it's easy to avoid the killer by how small she is compared to the others (and her cosmetics are cute). I don't really have a reason for Ace besides one of my closest friends main him and I've had a liking for him as well.

    I started with Quentin because Freddy was the reason I started playing the game, and Dwight wasn’t really clicking with me as the everyday kid as much as Quentin did. But I do enjoy his perks a lot more than Quentin’s.

    Lately though, I’ve been maining Meg and Ash. I think they’re both really cool, particularly with Meg being a really great female lead for the game, and Ash actually being voiced by his original actor.
