What dlc killer to get and level up?

I’m having trouble deciding. I have demogorgon and Michael Myers and am also looking for someone else to buy. Who should I get next? I’m looking for someone fun and also good. And someone that you can only buy (not with iridescent shards).

Bubba. Good power and great perks.

I always recommend buying killers you think will be fun to play versus buying them for a perk that you plan to eventually unlock and hopefully get on a bloodweb for a different killer that might make that killer slightly better.

The newly buffed Bubba is pretty solid in chases, his chainsaw lasts up to a good six seconds without any add-ons and he moves at a faster pace using it than before the buff. His weakness is that one-vs-one chases are pretty much all he can do. (He's similar to Clown in that respect - Clown is likewise excellent in a one-vs-one chase but that's all he can do which holds him back overall.)

Freddy is maybe the most effective licensed killer overall. He's got snares that are decent to catch people at loops plus he can teleport around the map between chases pretty much when he wants. (There's a cooldown but typically by the time the chase ends he'll have his teleport back more or less.) It's that combination of map coverage plus being good in a chase that makes him solid. On top of that he has some minor passive effects that are good such as being harder to see when survivors are awake and slowing them down when they're asleep. A great killer.

Ghost Face is kind of like a stealthier Meyers in a sense. After maybe Spirit's phasing he has the best stealth ability in the game, he can turn off his terror radius and stain instantly and they stay off until he either attacks or someone directly looks at him for a second or two. And while stealthed he can Stalk survivors and build up an Exposed condition to one-shot down them. If you like Meyer's exposed attacks but kind of wish he was stealthier then Ghost Face is the guy.

Pyramid Head is the newest and he's really good at hitting people at vaults and pallet drops. On top of that his cages can shave off 10 seconds of carrying time on average per hook as well as eliminate the possibility of Decisive Strike and other hook based perks and flashlight saves. Plus his Torment trails have a bit of tracking to them too. He's pretty solid overall, his only weakness being a lack of innate fast map movement or stealth, but again the Cages can give him a little extra time to walk to a new chase which helps.

Pig is probably the weakest of the licensed killers. She has stealth, but it slows her movement and she has a pause before being able to attack when coming out of it. Her lunge is situational, it's ok at certain types of small loops but most of the time you will end up wanting to stalk up to someone, stand up and foot chase them. Her head traps are the best part of her kit, they give her a decent amount of indirect gen slow down since the survivors have to spend time taking them off instead of doing gens. The main issue is that they're also slightly inconsistent, the survivor may get them off right away or may get unlucky and take a long time getting them off (killing someone with them is rare). Plus in a way they're a "win more" ability - they work best when you are downing survivors early in the match, but if you're getting three or four downs early on then you're already probably doing well and could maybe win without the traps in the first place. If you're having trouble getting downs though then you're not going to get to use the traps much to help you catch up. She's a reasonably fun killer in terms of sneaking around and trapping people but I think she's the least effective of the killers on this list.
