Hey everyone!

a couple of days ago i finished on my 12th P3 all perks killer and now i dont know who to level, so my BP are piling up...

the available killers are:

  • Nurse
  • Hag
  • Pig
  • Legion
  • Plague
  • Oni

    Oni is the most fun to me on that list. I'd say them they're a pretty good killer definitely underrated here on the forums.

    Onis biggest issue is his perks imo they're not useful. Nemesis can be a FUN perk but its not super good or anything.

    Are we taking perks into consideration, or have you already unlocked all their teachables?

    its just about who to max out next.

    ive gotten all perks from all killers already unlocked.

    It depends on what kind of playstyle you're into, in that case. Who has been your favourite killer(s) so far, and why?

    nono, thats not particulary what i was trying to ask.

    i wanted you to look at the killers and pick your favourite - and tell me why you chose that way.

    the thing with all of these killers is, that i dont really like them / i really suck at playing them, which is why they are still unleveled characters.


    if i were to look at the killers i enjoy most, their powers are all across the board, honestly.

    i main Trapper, however i can also find great joy in playing Hillbilly, Ghostface or Doctor.

    and i aim at having everyone maxed out and being able to play them efficiently, so all of them will get their turn - the question is just: who shall be the next one?


    still, thanks for trying to sort out the one i'd enjoy most xD

    It's good that this is off of the main page, because... I ENJOY playing as Legion! It's fast paced, running, stabbing, running, stabbing, STABBING and running and STABBING some more!

    The Deep wound system can be quite frustrating, as it lacks the ability to finish a chase, but the constant zooming and stabbing is great fun! Plus, I find you rank up real easily, even if you aren't getting kills and are always maxing out a few categories in blood points.

    Hag is among the top tiers though and will yield great rewards regardless.

    Good luck with whoever you chose!

    If this is for the perks than...

    I'd do Pig and Hag as your next priority.

    I know that's two, but there's a good reason for it. Once the 3.5.0 patch rolls around, Ruin will have a few new perk combos that work with it now. Pop Goes the Weasel will no longer work with a new active Ruin, so you should level up Hag FOR Ruin and than Pig FOR Surveillance.

    Ruin + Surveillance is a very good post-patch combo for a lot of reasons. For one, if a Survivor gets off of a generator WITH Ruin active, than that generator will instantly be damaged and start regressing at 200% the normal regression speed. Now, if you add Surveillance with it, than you can see every Survivor that's damaged (when a Survivor gets off it). This can be very good for tracking AND lets you know if any Survivors start working on a generator when you leave it for example.

    So in a sense, this combo is actually a lot better for tracking than BBQ in some cases. If you also combine Discordance than it gets a lot stronger!

    if it's just for killers...

    Than i'd do Pig or Oni. Oni isn't as bad as people claim he is (since the nerf), and he can be actually a lot of fun to use in some scenarios.

    Or, you can do Pig next and try out her gen stopping builds like Surveillance, PGTW, Brutal Strength, and Ruin/Corrupt, or something like that. Her RBTs (Reverse Bear Traps) make it so that anyone who's wearing them will waste time getting them off... so, you can use the build to make them waste time removing them OR use the build to try and get the RBTs to kill them...

    Try add-ons like Tampered Timer + Crate of Gears, or Jigsaw's Anointed Plan + Jigsaw's Sketch for that.

    Fair enough. Well, if you're up for a serious challenge, I'd recommend learning Nurse. It will take a while, but she is strong and very rewarding.

    Otherwise, the killer I personally find most enjoyable out of those is Pig. I like the fact that her power is a natural game slowdown, being able to sneak up and surprise survivors, and using the crouch to mindgame loops. And of course, she has the best meme potential of any killer 😋
