Easiest Killer to Play?

When you play Killer who do you get the most wins with and why? Certain playstyles lend themselves to certain Killers so I'm curious to know which ones you all find most intuitive!


I have the most fun with Legion but am the worst Killer in existence. I'm so bad at it! That said I have to go out of my way to not get a 4k with perkless level 1 Doctor. I don't have any Killers to rank 40 and any BP I get with Killers go to my Survivors. (The only exception is Legion who I've taken to 15) So I think that makes Doctor mine.

    I'd say the easiest killer in the game is Wraith. The killer I get the most wins with is Blight, however he certainly ain't easy.

    (I swear I tried to keep this short.)

    I look for 3 things when choosing a killer.

    Variation: how many different ways is that killer able to be played? Do you only have one add on combination or can you make many variations to make the killer powerful in different ways? What about perks, is this killer reliant on specific perks or can they use multiple builds to achieve the same results for roughly the same effort?

    Potential for conditioning: does this killers power have a meta game too it? Can I make survivors react differently by reinforcing them with my power?

    And whether they are mechanically rewarding: this one's simple does the killer feel good when you use them.

    Most killers in this game do not cover all three of these. Some cover 2, more than I'd like only cover 1 of these.

    With these 3 things in mind. My mains include wraith, deathslinger, executioner, and soon to be nemesis. None of these killers cover all three. Wraith covers variation and conditioning, deathslinger covers conditioning and mechanically rewarding, and executioner covers variation and mechanically rewarding.

    I feel like the more bases a killer covers in this trinity the easier they are to play and win with.

    For me it's Deathslinger, Pyramid Head and Oni

    Legion. It doesn’t take much to learn how to spread pressure with his ability. He may be super weak but that doesn’t justify how little of a skill cap Legion has.

    I would say Doctor, his ability guides you to where the survivors are and are good for slowing down gens. It also doesn't take much skill to learn.

    Others might be Bubba, Freddy and Wraith - all easy to learn.

    Easiest killer would be wraith, teaches u the basics of the game (stealth, finding survivors, hit and run)

    I've started to play killer some weeks ago, so I don't have much experience yet, but I get most kills with Wraith, Deathslinger, Doctor and Legion

    You've asked 2 things here. Do you want to know who we think is the easiest killer or the killer we win consistently the most with?

    The easiest killer is probably Wraith. He has nothing difficult, no real weaknesses, good at finding survivors, easy to understand...etc. I'd say the other easiest killers (for the top 5) are Bubba, Hag, Freddy and...idk maybe Trapper or Myers? Not that it means much anyway, no killer in this game is mechanically or strategically difficult to learn and play as, they were designed to be very simple.

    And I probably win the most consistently with Wraith, if we're talking killers I actually play. I would say Nurse, but I rarely play her because she's just way too good and I prefer actually needing to try for a 4k.

    The easiest killer is Wraith, in my opinion. He is just...uncloak and hit. An there is nothing wrong with that, after all there is beauty in simplicity.

    And the killer I win the most consistently with Freddy, because I play him 95% of the time I play killer.

    Bubba has easiest gameplay and rewarding good. He is rejecting most of survivor defends.

    Nurse when you learn to master her.

    Freddy is by far the easiest IMO. Base speed, simple "trap" ability, passive ability, and a teleport makes for a really easy to learn yet strong M1 killer. Even if you don't have teachables that synergize with his teleport (ex: BBQ, tinkerer, thrilling tremors) it's extremely useful.

    Wraith and Freddy are definitely the easiest to play

    I play every killer on a regular basis and I would say that the easiest killers are definitely Wraith, Freddy and Pig. Hag, Myers and Legion are not that high on the list either.

    The easiest killer in the game isn't necessary the killer you get the most wins with, it's the killer that's the quickest to pick up and play, and on that note it would have to be Bubba. Slap on bamboozle, never stop running at the survivor. It's not the most effective strategy in the world, but it's one that takes no mechanical skill and no brainpower for depressingly good results.

    The killers I personally find the most intuitive are the ones with an oppressive, convoluted chase, like Blight or Demogorgon, or killers that manipulate survivors, like Plague or Hag.

    Freddy and Wraith are easy to learn but are weaker against goo survivors. While the easiest of the best killers is Spirit.

    Easiest to play? Nurse hands down

    Most of my wins are as Doctor. My build is straightforward (Whispers/BBQ/Corrupt intervention/Surge). I usually enjoy Order and Discipline add ons to reduce Static Blast cooldown and shock therapy release. If I can run double order I usually do.

    I enjoy playing as Wraith and Myers a lot too. Wraith I enjoy all seeing Blood and am trying to get better perks on him (level 50 and haven't seen Whispers or NOED). Myers I enjoy 2 builds (scratched mirror and tuft of hair). I don't run tombstone as it takes forever to tier up. I use Corrupt Intervention, Whispers, Ruin and BBQ

    This is going to sound so backwards, but for me, the easiest is Blight. I play him on and off and consistently do extremely well with him. I put far less effort into him than I do with any other killer and almost always 4k. I almost feel guiltly when I play him now, so I don't play him often.

    This is probably because I've always gravitated towards characters with physics based abilities in other games. My mind is already wired for working out bouncing, ricochet, pathing, etc. So it felt natural. His lunge still confuses me sometimes, though.

    Easiest != most powerful.

    Myers is probably the simplest killer to use but also very weak.

    Nurse is the most powerful but also very difficult.

    If you want a balance of the two, I'd probably say Bubba; very simple and very strong. I would have said Freddy but I am yet to play him post nerf, so I have no idea how he holds up now.

    However, for slightly more effort in learning to play them efficiently, Hag or Spirit are incredibly powerful and don't have the incredibly high skill ceiling of the other High tier killers.

    Wraith. Beginner friendly. 115 speed. His buffs are pretty great. Love his hit and run style and his speed is no joke.

    Dang, I misread your discussion's title. I thought you asked "Easiest killer to face?" I'm definitely going blind here... Well, it's definitely not Hillbilly because that was my previous comment. Easiest killer to play for me would have to be Freddy.
