So since we will get some juice shards when they take the bubba faces away I will have enough to get me a new killer but I just don't know who to get.

At the moment I stand between blight, doc or clown/artist but both kinda need me to hit on range and I'm not that good at that. Since I already have undying and pop I don't even have perks to direct me a bit.

Give me your thoughts maybe even another killer.

    Blight is a very strong killer if you can figure out BHVRs janky ass bouncy system. I have not been able to figure out BHVRs janky ass bouncy system so I constantly run into things that I feel like I SHOULD be bouncing off of but Blight decides he just wants to grind along it like this is Tony Hawk Pro Skater by Daylight instead. I don't know if that's a me problem or a BHVR problem (I have heard that it is a much more pressing issue for console but I cannot confirm that as I play on just console). The Blights I face off against seem to have figured it out so it might just be that Eim Dum.

    Doc is my favored of those but I just think he's all around a solid killer. He's still a basic M1 killer though and all the problems with being a basic M1 killer are present with him but his Madness ability helps make up for it when you are trying to track people or to force survivors to kill time when they've been zapped enough and need to snap out of it.

    Clown I just think is fun to play as but like Doc, he's a basic M1 killer so he's going to have all those problems. I personally just think he's fun to play as but YMMV. His purple silly spray does help in mind games though as I can get some good hits in situations I probably should not have been able to at pallets because I stutter step towards it and then go around to smack them instead as it's hard for the survivor to see exactly what you're doing when they're intoxicated.

    Artist is fun but I really haven't played a lot of them to tell you if they're really good or not. Their anti-loop is nice if you can figure out how to really utilize it and while she has the M1 basic killer problem, throwing birds at far away gens to see if someone is working on it helps mitigate those issues.

    If you don't have him already, Oni is still my favorite of the original killers (so you can get him with Shards). ONI SMUSH SQUISHY SURVIVORS!!!!

    If you're playing to win, Blight is the best choice, although he is extremely difficult to learn.

    If you're playing for fun, I'd go for Clown, however Blight and Doc are also quite fun. Additionally, Clown doesnt require the accuracy you would need with Artist, Huntress, Slinger or Trickster due to his gas spreading. At some points its actually more beneficial to not hit the survivor but rather hit off an object to increase the spread (such as a tree or a roof).

    Doctor helps is a variety of otherwise annoying situations:

    cant flashlight/Syringe Med-kit mid-chase with Tier III madness

    Can't bodyblock BT without risking dying (the time difference between healing Deep Wound and removing Madness is minimal)

    Can't sneakily go for a flashlight save if you have Static Blast available

    If there's only two survivors remaining and one is downed, having the second survivor at Tier III prevents them from picking up their teammate

    Oni is my favorite killer period. I don't really main a killer as it's rare I'll play even two games in a row with the same killer but if I had to call myself a main, it would be an Oni main. He feels like one of the better balanced killers in the game and personally I gravitate towards killers who can one shot survivors.

    His only real weakness is that if you can't get a hit or two early in the game, he's super neutered (so he can be very susceptible to the Hold W pre-drop meta). But even then, once they start running out of pallets and you can get that one shot in, his snowball potential can help you patch up the slow start anyway.

    Blight fun and fair, but prepare to lose a lot, just think of it this way: by losing now, all the tears you cry will be more than made up for with the amount of tears you'll make the survivors shed.

    Doc and Clown are both very simple characters, but they may getting boring to you after a while.

    I can't comment on Artist, but Pain Resonance and Grim Embrace are pretty good.

    And of course as @tippy2k2 said, pick up my boy Kazan if you can.

    Hands down blight as he is highest tier minus a few % behind nurse if played well. The most important thing to also state is what perks are you missing from those other killers

    Doc is really fun imo, and he's stronger than people say he is
