    Artist seems like the best. Anti loop and high map pressure, just a bit easy to dodge. If you mailed PH or Nemesis it should be easier to play her

    Legion: Relatively weak and focuses on keeping survivors injured. Perks are meh

    Plague: Strong and focuses on injuries/snowballing. Perks are top tier. I’d choose her

    Slinger: Strong focus on chase and high skill ceiling. Perks are decent

    Twins: Decent but clunky and hard to play. Perks are mediocre

    Trickster: Relatively weak ranged killer. Perks are pretty good

    Artist: Strong antiloop info killer. Perks are great. Another great choice

    I’d say either plague or artist

    None of them are licensed so it comes down to what you prioritise more, perks or playstyle.

    If it's perks, Artist and Plague are both very solid contenders. Plague comes with Corrupt Intervention (godtier perk for weakening survivor early game pressure) and Infectious Fright (amazing perk on high-mobility or anti-loop killers like Blight, Pyramid Head, and Nurse). Artist comes with Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance (a very good slowdown perk encouraging multi-hooking survivors and combining well with perks like Pop Goes The Weasel), and Hex: Pentimento (while not good on it's own, if you have a lot of hexes and they don't have Boon perks it can have devastating effects. That 30% can do a lot of damage).

    If it's for playstyle, it really depends what you'd want most. I don't really play many of them so I can't comment, but Artist seems like the best choice if you're into anti-loop no mobility killers. Twins and Trickster at mid at best unless you put a lot of time and practice in, but if you're going to do that Nurse is free. Legion are just bad and I'd hold off on buying them until their rework, and Slinger is a bad experience for both sides ever since his nerf. Plague can be a bit dull if survivors don't cleanse but she's definitely a solid pick strength wise, excels at tracking and her Corrupt Purge is possibly the best ranged power in the game.
