Who’s your killer main and why?

Demogorgon: I love his sound- and character design. U are feeling urself like a beast and I think his portals and dash are two different gameplay elements which makes him diversified.
Legion: I like Susie. And Legions gameplay is simple, sometimes I need this to be less a tryhard.
Pig: Piggy is cute and like Demogorgon, her crouch-and-dash and reversed bear traps are two different gameplay elements which makes her diversified.

Spirit I absolutely love her mechanics and aesthetics. She's probably my favorite character in the entire game.
Huntress. I just like her shes amusing and fun
Pig. I love the fact shes "low tier" yet I can destroy SwF and Solos at all ranks. She's so versatile in her skill set.

Started with trapper. Now lost my P3 cosmetics for some reason.
Then moved to myers.
Then mained doc when he came out till i reached rank 10 and hit a wall.
Now i play nothing but freddy.
Why? Cos of their reliance on pallets and how quickly i can shut down pallet loops when they know they are not really safe. Its cool when they tbag after a pallet slam and run to the next pallet expecting the same only to end up getting downed.
I like the new doc rework and that was a buff. You can shut down loops with doc but it was harder in the past as the shocks had to hit befor they got there.

If they brought her vision up a bit more id play her as well. But as it is i cant stand her vision being so low to the ground. On corn even the high oens cant see squat so i can onou imagine what its like with had and pig

Myers and Ghostface. They're both pretty similar on paper, but play completely differently in the field. I absolutely adore them both.

I'm definitely the sort of player that switches my killer and perks up game-to-game. I'm usually all about dailies and the Tome challenges. I don't play survivor much at all; in fact, the only characters I've leveled up for survivors are Claudette (Lvl 15) and Meg (Lvl 5) but I bought the Teachable for Dead Hard when it was on the Shrine a few weeks ago and picked up Nancy, Steve Harrington, and Yui so I may want to start picking up survivor teachables so I can level up a Steve or Bill (I always have a soft spot for Bills).
But, back on topic...
I have Freddy and Myers leveled up to 50. Back when I first started playing the game, I only used Myers; now, I find him kind of boring unless I do creative builds. I've really taken a liking to Huntress and Trapper lately. I'm not very good with either one but I have so much fun playing as them. Trouble is I still don't have great perks on them yet. For some reason, I never get good perks to show up in the Bloodweb despite having pretty much every Teachable I want (except Bamboozle, Spirit Fury, Nemesis, and Surge.) I have literally every killer but there are a few I only play if I absolutely have to like Nurse (PS4 player), Plague, Cannibal, and Wraith. I don't think I've ever played Hillbilly in my entire life so there's him, too.
If I were to rank my favorite killers in this game right now, I'd probably order them like this (but my favorite changes depending on the mood I'm in):
- Huntress
- Freddy
- Trapper
- Pig
- Michael Myers
- Hag
- Ghostface
- Spirit
- Clown
- Doctor
- Legion
- Oni
- Plague
- Demogorgon
- Wraith
- Nurse
- Cannibal

Why do I love the ones I do?
Huntress: She's just so satisfying. I love that she can threaten survivors from a distance and players seem to play a more fun style of game when I play her. I'm not very good with her (or really any killer for that matter) but when I finally have the perks I want on her, I'm going to have so much fun
Freddy Krueger: I love the mind-games you can play with Snares and the Gen Teleport. I'm so happy with the rework and seeing as I've been a huge Nightmare On Elm Street fan my entire life, He is exactly my type of killer but I do wish his dream realm had a bit more of a connection to the movies.
Pig: She;s so sneaky and I always seem to do well with her.

@CheersTC it makes no sense to have a personal account for each individual killer. You're missing out on teachable perks and everything in between that comes with maining an account. I have no idea how you are rank 1 hillbilly with only his base perks and no teachables. I don't even see how that's possible

Doctor has always been my favorite even before the buff, I just love his evil giggles
0 -
I don't have a main anymore, i like to swap it up.
I'm messing with legion currently...

Freddy, he has everything you want for m1 killer to have.

Hag. She was the first Killer I really played and learned. Got her to Rank 1 first. Most of the generic Killer achievements I've gotten with her. Just an enormous amount of fun to play.
Huntress/Myers/Spirit in that order. I main them all because their gameplay is enjoyable. Something a little bit different for each of them, so I can choose which type of Killing I want at that point.
I enjoy most of the Killers, so I will sometimes just break one out to play for a while. Most are recently prestiged though, so it can get nasty at times. Except Billy, Nurse, Oni. Don't like them at all. Will never use them again.

I was Hag and Wraith Main.
Love both for the Jump scares.
Many Fun games.
But sadly after 2 years of playing A year on Pc and now another on Xbox. I retired as a Killer main and uninstalled the game due it's current state.

Main: PIG: A killer with a lot of variety in tackling an issue. You can play mad mind games just by crouching and standing randomly and her lunge is a good tool to help combat loop where a pallet is down.
Her RBT is one of the few abilities that can scatter survivors away from gens with actual urgency and reason to not just gen while injured and her pressure can become stunningly overwhelming to even coordinated groups when you slug people with helmets on. Which you almost always will run into one while looking about or chasing someone else.
I find that chase oriented builds do well with her.
Second:
Demogorgan: Another killer with immense variety. He can port and his shred ability allows me to end chases quickly if you learn to time it right. Which is fun, because running around an non-mind gamable loop or a survivor that refuses to do anything but that is boring and brain dead.
Slap Spirit Fury and use that shred. If they don't thread the needle and stun you then your power only grows stronger. If they do stun you then by that point you probably charged fury anyway. It clears pallets quickyl and actually makes the match move along rather than a loopfest.
Oni: He's just fun. I feel strong as the oni and when you're demon dashing after someone it feels intense for both sides. There's a chance for skill based plays for a good demon dash and he's great at inducing pressure on survivor simply because most are aware that letting blood orbs just slowly leak out from them en mass is a bad idea.

Because i'm gay

I actually don’t have most teachables but rather only perks that I need for each killer. For example, for The Hillbilly I use BBQ, Endurance, Whispers and Hex: Ruin. Most killers I use atleast one of their perks and then one perk is whispers. I usually get a killer up to level 50 and then upgrade other killers. It isn’t that hard.

My main killer is Myers,
Scary, realistic, and not OP...
He's just a true killer
2 -
Demogorgon and Oni
Demo is cause even though people believe he isn't good, he requires alot of muscle memory and predicting with shred, same with faking out shred at pallets to force a throw down.
Oni is due to how fun he is, including him having a really powerful ability
0 -
The Oni, because well, he's really fun, and strong.
1 -
Doctor and Oni because they're stupidly fun to play.
Doctor and Oni excel in chasing.
Doctor specializes in early game pressure while Oni specializes in mid-to-late game pressure with his ability. PlusI use Doctor to farm BP and Oni to have more fun because he goes zoom :)

I would have to say the trapper even though I play with lots if differnet ones now as when I started playing there were only 4 killers and he was the first one which I picked up and levelled so always have a soft spot for him.
I usually play around with few killers. Hag, Huntress, Doctor, Myers, Leatherfave, Billy and Pig.

I've always been a Hag/Nurse main.
Hag is nasty if you know how to use her. However, with the recent SUPER speedy early game, her setup time is limited. Tac on slow movement speed to set up. She has been struggling
Nurse, even with her rework she's solid. Learning how survivors run is fun. The back and forth of mindgaming is lovely. When you get that precise blink on someone who thought they were slick. It's delicious.

In the current game state, I've been playing any killer that has an insta down. The only m1 killers I'll play is Freddy because he has a lot of tools and is very flexible and Wraith because he was my first killer.
0 -
Billy, without any doubts. So fun to play.
0 -
I’ve been playing Doc a lot more recently. I guess it’s just the satisfaction of using static blast and saying “ZYAP” right when I use it 🤷♂️
Originally I was a Pig main until they nerfed her 6 feet under.

So far every killer has a special place to me but Michael Myers is the GOAT in my opinion. He was a merciless killer before puberty So......nobody is as devoted as him. The Entity trapped most other killers but Mike maybe in a Haven he would love to stay in.

Don’t blame you I’d do the same if I wasn’t so stubborn

even with the nerf?

i enjoy Freddy and Mikey most but leatherface oh god
0 -
Exactly what you said.
2 -
leatherface could use a rework as he’s pretty useless when it comes to ending loops...
0 -
yes

3 gens pop in first minute and a half*

trapper is very fun to play especially when you’re good with traps. they think they’ve got the loop down but then end up in a trap lmao
1 -
Surprised Mikey’s so low. If you’re good with him it’s an easy 4K same with Freddy or atleast I believe so
0 -
Lmao wish you luck

👀
0 -
Once you get Freddy down it’s an easy 3-4K. I main Freddy myself and love fake pallets and preforming mind games as him
0 -
Huntress. Mainly because she's the first I ever played... and I'm better with her than most of the others tbh lol.
0 -
Doc, almost purely because of the Doc himself. Not his abilities or anything.
0 -
Oni. I enjoy that i can keep playing him and continue to get better.
Before Oni swapped between Spirit and Ghostface
0 -
💧o3o ...

Doc because unnerving distressing and backwards skill checks locks survivors in for me to kill them no matter the rank.
0 -
I like the Clown and the Doctor because they laugh whenever they torment the players. The Clown laughs while being stunned.
I like to use items to help me win. So the killers that utilize actual things. Like tossing bottles, and stuff.
That, or a new killer that generates his/her own chests throughout the map with the real ones. The killer cannot use add ons on its own. Whenever the killer searches a chest they get different “tools” with add-ons that helps to hunt/locate survivors. Then give said killer a perk that rigs the chests so that whenever they’re opened by a survivor something happens. Like the survivors aura is revealed during a chest search, and whoever completes the search itself becomes exposed for 5-10 seconds.

Do I need to say it?
Interesting and creepy lore, cool aesthetics, fun power, one of my favorite characters in horror.
Otherwise, It's The Shape or The Clown.

Ez comment. This thread has my name written all over it man!
Legion is honestly and truthfully my current main on DBD. Its honestly just the playstyle that grabs my attention. A build of mine involves:
-BBQ
-Im All Ears
-Thanato
-Blood Echo
With the extended Feral Frenzy and Legion Pin. You'd be surprised how many easy downs you can get if you manage to keep everyone injured. If you can keep up decent pressure, you can force people to stay injured constantly, and I'm All Ears makes for easy cleanup if the opportunity arises. For those looking to try Legion, understand that your skill as an M1 Killer is going to be put to the test. Even as a lower tier Killer, if a good Legion can get the survivors in an unfavorable position, these are the times when he can capitalize best. And dont be afraid to use that power either. The amount of free downs the killer instinct can give you is hilarious. All of this is exactly why I main Legion.

I main whichever is fun so none until the game gets balanced against sweaty SWFCs
0 -
Heeeyyyy wait a second. Another LegionMain?
