Which killers should I buy?

gogobejz · October 2020

I have bought Freddy and got to level 43 with him. He is fun but his perks are pretty bad and he wasn't very fun to play as. I usually get a 4K(rank 16 currently) or 1 survivor escapes through the hatch. I am willing to buy the 1100 auric cell pack. I would preferably like to get a licensed killer with that money since I can't grind for them and can get them with iridescent shards. I have 4500 iridescent shards (currently). I tried playing as ghostface and didn't really enjoy him. I tend to play in an aggresive way, I prefer to chase people instead of setting traps. Please let me know if you can think of one! Thanks.

Bubba for Knock Out and BBQ& Chili

He is also great for when you had a streak of bad games and just want to sit back and chill while camping.

If chasing is your thing, Leatherface is probably your best bet. Plus BBQ & Chill is a really nice killer perk for the 2x Bloodpoints.

So you like chasing over trap setting (Freddy) and stealthy sneaking (Ghost Face). I'd definitely check out videos of these killers online to make sure they seem to be right for you, but you may like:

Licensed:

Leatherface - Literally chasing people while wielding a chainsaw. Plus he gives you BBQ & Chili and Franklin's Demise. He's still a pretty simple killer, but I think he's pretty fun.
Pyramid Head - Can Torment survivors to put them in Cages instead of hooking them. Has access to a telegraphed ranged attack that can be used to smack survivors trying to vault near you.
Demogorgon - Technically a trap killer due to the Portals that it places. But also has a massive pallet-smashing lunge in the form of its Shred attack. Very VERY loud in a brutal animalistic sense (survivors will hear you coming). DG is unfortunately rather low on the killer totem pole and can be challenging to use effectively, but it does have its moments.

Non-Licensed:

Blight - Become Pinball incarnate. Bounce off walls and zip around the map. Initially tricky to play, but has a decent skill ceiling that makes him more enjoyable in the long-term.
Oni - He's Hillbilly, but with better control over his power and a bigger stick. Has to work harder to make his power available, but is terrifying when in Blood Fury. Be warned, he does seem to have his power become bugged rather frequently.
Legion - Aggressively chase and stab people, but with a knife. They're kind of meh, but might be up your alley. Chasing survivors is literally the only thing they do. Excellent at generating mass-amounts of Bloodpoints.

*Spirit and Deathslinger may also interest you from the chase perspective and might be worth checking out too.

Thank all of you so much for the advice!

While spending real money you most definately should get licensed content with it. The shards will come with time, EZ.

So yeah if just aggressively chasing is your thing, Bubba might be the one for you from the license-department since you don´t seem to like Ghostface (he´s more of an advanced Killer anyway, I wouldn´t recommend him for newer players).

Leatherface has the added benefit of BBQ&Chili, arguably the most important Killer perk simply for the Bloodpoints. It also teaches good habits since it encourages you not to stay at the hook and the aura reading is not too bad (neither great though).
