I need to know.
So, I’m kinda new to this game. I have Micheal Myers and the Demogorgan, but what is the best killer in the game to buy?

There's tier lists people make which boils down to meaning ease of use. Billy is the easiest killer to play. Chainsaw go zoom.
But DLC-wise it's Freddy.

Best killer to play are the top four.
Nurse, Billy (both free), Freddy and Spirit.
But most fun depends on what you find fun. I suggest looking up killer gameplay of each killer to see which you'd like best.

Each killer has a unique power that invites a different playstyle from the player - my advice would be to read about their powers and pick the ones that sound the most fun to use.
With that said there are several killers which are easier to pick up if you're still learning the game's mechanics - for example, Wraith, Hillbilly, Leatherface are all killers who are really easy to pick up and using/understainding their power won't overwhelm you whilst you're still trying to learn things like finding survivors, tracking scratch marks, patrolling objectives and so on.
The ones that you have picked, namely demo and Myers both have a fairly complex power, so you might get a bit overwhelmed in the beginning. If that's the case I'd suggest starting out with the killers I've listed above and then switching to whoever you find more fun once you've gotten used to the basics of the game.
I hope this helps and welcome to dbd :)

You can do fine as any of them really. But there is the top 4 like everyone said. Have the best things going for them in all catrogories. But anyone can work as long as you like and know there playstyle.

There is hardly one single best Killer. It all comes down to opinion and own favourite playstile. I'd suggest you to check some gameplay on youtube to see how each one works, and see what playstyle you prefer. Else you can play as Survivor and see it directly yourself with the Killers you face.
As others have said though, I'd suggest to choose a more straight forward Killer to use at the beginning so you understand all the basics of the game (Hillbilly, Wraith, are good starting killers to begin with. If you like to aim and hit at a distance Huntress too). While Killer power is a big part of the playstyle, knowing how all the other mechanics work is also a big part of the game that you need to get accustomed to. 👍️

Spirit is the best dlc killer. Nurse is the best free killer, but you need thousands of hours on her to get good.

The best killer to buy is Spirit. 2nd best i Freddy.

The Halloween chapter has some of the best perks to date, but you already have that one.
It also depends for me if you're on PC or console as to what you should buy, since console only has the "Special Edition" as our option, which gives us the Spark of Madness and Flesh & Blood chapters base. Lullaby for the Dark should also be free, so grab that one.
As for every other DLC, Spirit is a strong killer and has some decent teachables and some of Adam's perks are usable in some builds/situations. Freddy is currently (arguably) the best killer in the game, or at least he has the highest kill confirmed rating.
Ghostface is also probably the best stealth killer in the game, but there is also a case for Myers. As my name implies though, I just love Pig. She has EVERYTHING that a stealth killer needs. She's such a toolbox killer, but kinda low on the tier lists.

Best killer to buy is Leatherface. BBQ+Chili. That is all.

As said before there's no "best" but based off of the ones you have I'd say Ghostface and pig/oni

Huntress is a lot of fun. But it takes some practice to learn how to throw the hatchets. It's worth the effort though! :) Note: it's harder to do this well if playing with a controller.

People saying you need a lot of time on nurse are wrong
ypu need a bit to learn muscle memory and blinks but it’s not as hard as people say

She's very strong and super fun to play. However, her playstyle is quite different from other standard killers. For example, she can ignore a lot of pallet loops that most other killers have to deal with, by being able to throw hatches over or between certain objects. If you learn to play her first you might struggle a bit later when you change to other killers, because you'll have to break old habits when dealing with maze tiles and pallet loops. For example if you "main" huntress as your first killer, later on when you start branching out you might struggle catching survivors around pallets with the killers that use their basic attack to hurt survivors (e.g. wraith).
However, if you do plan to try various killers and not just focus on one at the start, i definitely do recommend giving her a try. As I said before, she's super fun and rewarding to play as.
Edit: as a side note - if you play on PS4 you can get her for free. She's not included in the basic package, but you can unlock (buy) her DLC from the PS store for free. I didn't know that when I started out, so didn't unlock the dlc for ages, thinking I had to pay to get it. Just want to make sure you dont make the same mistake as me

The first killer I bought was ghostface. I recommend him if you like being stealthy, but personally I’m a legion main

Yay, I have ps4!

Ok! Then there's some extra Huntress difficulty there, but it's still doable. Nurse will also be more of a challenge with a controller.

And what about the countless stages of mindgames you can create while playing nurse on countlesd different tiles on a bunch of different maps?
