    Ghost Face

    Wraith is good but has no instadown

    Pig is RNG based

    Shape is a close second because of how good he is at applying pressure in chase

    but Ghostface is the most effective for me. the ability to just take away te TR and still be able to grab is 10/10, plus they can pop instadowns left and right. not to mention how useful hiding the red stain is in chase

    Because Myers.

    Wraith would be better if his base movement speed while Cloaked was higher, but it is not, so I think Ghosty is better.

    Wraith

    Wraith. Just the fact he can't be kicked out of his power by a janky mechanic makes him way better than Ghostface.

    Ghost Face

    He still can be kicked out by flashlight from any position. And it actually gives him a long stun, unlike Ghostface.

    Wraith

    It's extremely easy to counter it, you just need to zig zag around the survivor. It's almost guaranteed to make their flashlight run out of charges.

    Ghost Face

    Ghostface by far, there is so much Ghostface can do that no other stealth killer can it's absolutely ridiculous.

    Wraith gains stealth but sacrifices immediate aggressive potential (loud audible clanging and the need to uncloak before attacking) -> GF: Can immediately strike whenever he wants to Night Shroud or not

    Myers has an extremely slow match start relying purely on surprise factor and the possibility of snatching someone off a gen. If survivors stay out of your sight and steer clear, first few chases can be really difficult due to decreased movement speed (105%) and lunge. Also completely loses his stealth after entering Tier 2 EW trading it for just a moderately reduced terror radius (so can be seen by auras!) -> GF: Moves at 115% with a normal lunge and can therefore transition quickly and smoothly into normal chases even if he doesn't catch anyone by surprise, has access to his stealth ability Night Shroud at all points during a match and therefore can take advantage of the undetectable status effect at any time for mindgames hiding the red stain, not being seen by aura reading perks like OoO, etc.

    Pig has the problems of Wraith and Myers combined into one plus a few of her own. Sacrifices immediate aggressive potential with a very loud audio cue right before Ambush, must go through a brief crouch animation in order to utilize the Stealth aspect of her ability and moves at 90% while in stealth (slower than Myers [and for the entire match whenever you want to stealth]) and sacrifices visibility being forced to crouch low to the ground so you will hardly be able to see through tall grass let alone taller structures / assets like the reeds or bamboo on backwater swamp / Yamaoka's estate maps. -> GF: All the aforementioned reasons - so again, can attack right away, moves more quickly, as well as specifically in comparison to Pig can crouch immediately without an animation to take advantage of mindgames as well as reduce his visibility / reveal "hitbox"


    The only thing I'll ever concede about Ghostface is that he can be more difficult to use than the other three. However that's the trade-off and a well worth it one at that, high skill floor means higher skill ceiling, the fact of the matter is you can do more with Ghostface at high ranks than you can with the other three and each of them are limited in some way that Ghostface just flat out isn't.
