Who do you think is the third strongest killer in the game?

So we know Nurse and Spirit are the two obvious strongest killers in the game, but who do you think takes the spot for being the third best killer in the game? The options I listed are killers with great powers, followed by having map mobility to get around the map. But if there's a killer who's not listed here that you think is the third best, gladly vote for other if you think someone like Pyramid Head is third best.

    Freddy

    Personally Freddy just about takes the spot over Blight and Hag, due to him having a bit of everything (Map mobility, a chase power, natural slow down and the ability to find survivors). He may not be the best at each one individually, but he’s darn good at each one, hence I believe he’s the third best.

    Hag

    If Blight's j-flick was official he'd easily be the 3rd S-tier killer, but Hag is IMO the true 3rd strongest killer in the game. Her counters hinder the survivors, and if she has Franklin's, her other counter is gone. Her traps are also impossible to see sometimes. You can step on her traps but even then she'll just teleport, then place it back.

    Freddy

    Freddy just has a lot for his kit. Mobility to get around the map. Anti loop. Map control. Gen slowdown. Even a little bit of stealth. He does a lot and does everything decently.


    After him, I would put Doctor as the fourth and then PH as the fifth strongest killer.

    Blight

    Best mobility in the game, counters every strong maze tile and most main buildings, and he has the same bad maps as Nurse so it's not like having bad maps negates how good he is in general if they don't for Nurse.

    Freddy

    I've not had THAT much trouble against hag honestly. Yes I lose to some but never had one that made me feel hopeless like freddy can do often

    At the moment while PH's m2 glitch is here, I say that he's the 3rd one.

    I'm talking about the thing when the Executioner player clicks m2 for a second (or even less) and after it immediately clicks again and uses his power. From survivor perspective, it looks like when he's starting to pull his knife into the ground, he activates punishment of the damned (using his power). It's really hard to dodge that. At least, for me...

    Freddy

    While boring to play as/against, Freddo's most definitely the 3rd strongest one. He's effective at every little thing a Killer needs to do in order to get those survivors and stop those gens. Add a few strong perks and you're good to go. You don't even need add-ons.

    4th place would probably be Oni. Players who know how to use his power properly are really scary; it's like once he activates it, no matter how good of a looper you are, you will go down. But only against the best Oni's out there. Overall he requires more skill than Freddy and not many people play as him, so it's a bit harder to judge.

    Huntress is the 3rd best killer imo..

    Hag

    How the hell is Freddy winning?

    He gets destroyed by good survivors way harder than Blight or Hag does.

    Blight

    in the right hands I think it’s Blight.


    Freddy is up there, but he is so strong because he is easy to use. Overall you see more good Freddy than Blights, but if a Blight is good he is up there with Nurse and Spirit for sure.


    Hag is also a valid option, but I think a really good coordinated SWF can better outplay Hag than Spirit, Nurse or Blight.

    Hag

    Nurse, Spirit and Hag play the game by different rules than the normal killers

    That's probably it yeah.

    In terms of strength though he's definitely not on the same level as Hag or Blight.

    If you get a good Huntress, I think it's Huntress.
