    Demise of the Faithful

    Plague's perks are borderline necessary for some killers.

    Blight has Undying too, but Infectious Fright and Corrupt Intervention are too good to pass up.

    Demise plague is always fun to play.

    Even more so when you get decent with her.

    for pharmacy, blood warden and arguably 3rd best killer in the game behind only spirit and nurse

    Nightmare On Elm Street

    Nightmare on Elm Street definitely. For the simple fact that this is a licensed chapter, and the other two are original ones. I cannot stress this enough every time people find themselves caught between deciding on a licensed chapter or an original one, ALWAYS buy the licensed one. Literally regardless of what anyone else says. You'll always have the chance of earning an original chapter's characters for free if you play long enough, whereas you will never ever be able to earn any of the licensed chapters. If you find yourself still wanting that chapter after you end up buying an original chapter, you're going to end up having to shell out the bucks for it either way.

    Aside from this comparing the chapters individual based on killer and survivor:


    Plague (from Demise of the Faithful) is a horribly unfun and terribly designed killer, which kind of ruins that entire chapter for me tbh, my personally most hated killer both to play as and against (for a multitude of reasons) also the only consistent M1 killer out of your three options, since most people don't cleanse you'll eventually just run tiles normally trying to M1 different survivors (boring). The Blight is definitely good with high mobility and even chase potential, but also definitely has the steepest skill curve out of all of them and so can be a bit frustrating in that way. So Freddy wins by miles for me in this one, having both the mobility / map pressure, and chase potential among other things.


    For survivors Felix from the Descend Beyond Chapter is probably the best (being the most well rounded) out of all of them. Visionary isn't all that necessary for someone who's experienced but if you're new it's a great tool to help you navigate maps and get where you need to go without wasting time. So great perk for greenies tbh, who might waste too much time wandering maps aimlessly. Desperate Measures is an amazing healing perk, and built to last is great if you use items a lot and are running an item & / or looting build.

    Jane has decent perks but most of them are all situational. Head On needs the synergy from Q&Q to be most effective, if you're not in an SWF. Poised is a nice perk to fit into a fast paced stealth build, but honestly there are stealth perks better than this to fit into your run of the mill immersed survivor loadout. Solidarity kinda sucks, although I hear it has some great synergy with Desperate Measures.

    Unfortunately Quentin lacks in the perks department, Pharmacy is definitely his best perk and it certainly is useful, some people argue it's better than Self-Care because you won't waste as much time. Then again, it'll only provide you one heal since all you're pulling is your standard green medkit without add-ons (unless you run Ace in The Hole with it of course, which is some decent synergy). Vigil is the runner up but it's only really all that useful in synergy with exhaustion perks, since you can't guarantee the killer you're going up against will be relying on the negative status effects vigil heals you up more quickly from. Wake Up is a nice end-game perk if you have to Open Exit Gates for a daily or escape through the exit gates, or be alive in the trial after other survivors escape from the trial, yadda yadda yadda. Aside from this it's not that great.


    So take from this post what you will.

    You can get the other two with Iridescent Shards.

    You can't get Freddy that way, and he's one of the better killers.

    Descend Beyond

    The case I'd make for Descend Beyond is that both the killer and survivor have some good perks that can easily become part of your regular rotation and I have a feeling they'll pop into a rift at some point, whereas Jane has already had a turn, IIRC, and it remains to be seen if licensed characters get included.

    Demise of the Faithful

    Plague gameplay is very unique. It´s certainly not for everyone, it might be for you, though.

    What makes thi chapter so good is that plague comes with "mandatory" perks. Dark devotion is neat, but corrupt intervention and Infectious fright are neccessary perks on certain Killers and builds. Without them you´d be at a severe disadvantage. It´s also a grindable chapter!

    Plague is underrated as a killer, and has exceptional perks.

    Jane has 1 perk worth using (Head On), if you dedicate some other slots to support it.

    You say you will buy the top 2, but only list 3 options... I just feel like, come on... just buy all 3.

    Nightmare on elms street!

    Freddy is THE killer when it comes to gen control and is one of the best.

    Plague and Blight however sit somewhere on the other end of the spectrum. Blight can be good with a lot of training. Plague is kinda fun but has too many downsides. The blight has the HEX: Undying perk which is kinda important in a lot of HEX builds. Maybe you get the chance to grab this one in the shrine.

    You can buy the rest with shards.

    Demise of the Faithful

    Plagues perks are extremely good. I know you shouldn't buy a chapter because of the perks but this is an exception.

    Freddy is a nice killer to play when you don't really want to think. Plus I find him the easiest for doing perk related tome challenges.

    Blight is fun but I'd prefer buying Freddy over him. Hex: Undying is an excellent perk but I'd say Corrupt Intervention + Infectious Fright beats it.

    I voted this one, just because of Freddy. He is a good killer.
