What killer of this 4 is better to buy with shards?

Clown, Legion, Oni or Deathslinger.

I already have the good perks of clown and legion.


-Clown can be good agaisn those annoying looper survivors, but is really a good killer?

-Ppl always say that legion is one of the weakest killer, but when I play agaisn him he is annoying, much waste of time healing.

-Oni only have the demon fury, but is really useful? survivors can hide. And his perks are bad.

-Deathslinger is slow and his shoots can be dodged, seems weak, of his perks maybe Gearhead can be good.


So recomendations?

    If you're going for a killer. Get oni he is the strongest one there and run infectiuous, survivors can't hide from that. The rest are very weak. For perks I would get clown for pop and legion for discordance. Deathslinger is pretty fun but a weak killer and has bad perks.

    Oni is the strongest Killer of those 4. Go with him.

    Clown has best perks. Oni is strongest overall. Since you have clown perks then I'd go with Oni.

    Oni is the strongest out of those four. Get him.

    If you can slug good you practically know how to play oni. His power is basically a domino effect with infectious fright.

    I have all the killers maxed out on perks on console.

    Forget clown.

    Legion can be fun to use because it’s so easy but he’s not a good killer

    Oni is much more deadly than anyone you listed. Hillbilly is better, but if you like Onis appearance and tracking ability go for him.

    Deathslinger is my favorite killer at the moment because he is fun to use. If you have good aim he can be a good killer. It’s every satisfying hitting long range shots and shots through small gaps to counter loops, but still no map pressure though. If your aim is not at the least decent then do not even try deathslinger unless you have patience and you’re willing to put in the time to get the aim down. Otherwise you’re going to suffer as him and hate the killer. If you do get the aim down then it will start to pay off. Somewhat similar to the nurse, she’s hard to use especially on console but if you put the time in then you can demolish survivors as nurse.

    As for perks between Oni and Deathslinger, they both are just okay if not bad. Nemesis on Oni can make for some fun obsession builds. So in my opinion if you want the best killer to easily use then go for Oni. If you want a fun killer and are a decent killer go for deathslinger.

    Oni is definitely the strongest, but Clown has the best perks. Deathslinger requires a lot of skill and his perks suck and Legion is worth getting only for Discordance and maybe Iron Maiden if you play Huntress. So I would say go for Oni if you want strong killer, and if you want good perks go for Clown.

    Alright, first lets talk about perks:

    Clown has POP and Bamboozle, both exzellent perks for most killers. His 3rd perk, Coulrophobia is pretty bad undfortunatly. Still, Pop and Bamboozle are that good, i can not rate Clowns perks lower then: 8,5/10

    Legion has Discordance, also a fantastic perk for almost every killer. Mad Grit and Iron Maiden are mediocre btw bad. More memeish then effective. Still, Discordance safes the day, but hey.. look at the shrine of secrets. 6,5/10

    Oni's Nemesis Perk pairs very good with Safe the best for last. Blood Echo and Zanshin are both kinda bad. Really not spectaculas perks. 3/10

    Deathslinger: All 3 Perks are mediocre in my opinion and situational 4,5/10


    Fun is the next category. Very subjective obviously

    Clown is kinda fun for me, because i like a good challange. His ability is not super effective BUT it is really a great feeling when hitting difficult bottle throws: I like the Clown, but i dont love him. 7/10

    Legion is kinda fun to play in my opinion but not as satisfying as many other killers. His ability is a very interesting concept tho, thats why i still think he is a 7/10.

    Oni is for me the most fun to play killer of those 4. His ability is just great - zooming around the map with lightspeed and downing survivovrs in the prozess is just great. He might be kinda like Billy, but his movement is totally different. I give him at least a 8/10.

    Deathslinger is very satisfying and for many people a lot of fun to play as. I dont play him to much, since i hate that dude. But that is just me. Personally i would give him a 2/10, but he is loved throught the community.


    Last but not least: Effectiveness:

    Clown: Many say he is the worst. I agree he is bad, but i still think that you should be able to win most of your games if you do well with him. 5/10

    Legion: Pretty much the same as Clown. I think he is one of the weaker killers, but nethertheless Legion is capeable to do the Job. 5/10

    Oni: Strong, but not overpowered. Can snowball like no other killer. Might take a while to stack up your ability, but once you got it, the game is on. 8/10

    Deathslinger: You come directly from CS GO and you were famous for your sick AWP quckscope kills in Global Elite Rank? Then congratz, you just beat Dead by Daylight. He might get a bit genrushed tho, but his chase potential is almost on Nurse Level. 8,5/10.

    Oni is the strongest out of these killers, so go for him.

    For power I go Oni, for something simple and fun, go clown or Deathslinger. But i did hear a leak that Legion will be in the next Rift

    Thx for opinions, seems Oni is the best option for unanimity.

    Deathslinger or Oni. both are quite strong and fun characters, thoug their perks arent great.


    if its about perks, take Clown though. Pop Goes The Weasel is almost a necessity if you want to stand a chance in higher rank games - and Bamboozle can be very solid aswell.

    Legion can also be useful when its about perks, as Discordance is a really nice tracking and game slow down tool that is the most effective on high mobility killers.


    TL;DR:

    Clown if you dont have Pop, Oni or Deathslinger if you want a strong / fun character.
