Which Killer is the hardest to bully?

Other than "a good one." I'm leaning towards Knight myself.

    A good blight or nurse.

    Add a good Billy to that list. A high level Billy will end a bully squad in about 20 seconds. I think I've ended games quicker on Billy than Nurse.

    Absolutely. I’d go ahead and add oni and spirit to the list. Killers with high snowball potential can really end a bully squad quickly.

    I mean, people misplaying around Bubba can do that, of all things. And it just looks silly when it happens.

    A killer that doesn't care?

    It depends on what you mean by "bullying". If you want to deal with sabotage strategies or flashlight saves then the Knight can chase multiple survivors at once to get them to go away and the Doctor disables people's ability to use items. An instadown killer like the Cannibal or Hillbilly can quickly punish people for grouping up and being altruistic. In contrast, a killer like the Plague can keep people broken to stop it from being an option. Finally, the Nurse can hit anyone within 20m of her very quickly even if you're not that good so she's good at punishing people for grouping up.

    Beyond that smart play is good. Looking for birds, scratch marks and keeping an ear out for teammates when picking up under a pallet or if people have flashlights. Recognising if people are taking body blocks and who you should chase as a result. What hooks they're likely to sabo and maybe not going to the closest one. There's no foolproof solution, people would never try "bullying" otherwise, but they're a way to make it harder or punish people for it and in a decent spot you can still win after survivors get a good save. Generally speaking "bullying" also requires not being on gens so you don't have to worry about them, focus on the survivors and you'll do well.

    Plague is usually my best against them. Keep em broken so rapid healing isn't a thing, and the sound of them coughing clues me in if they are hiding in wait for some sort of save. Run the prophylactic amulet so if they cleanse a lot, I'm getting corrupted vomit left and right. Wait for that moment they are all grouped up trying to do saves, pop corrupted and lay out the whole squad.

    I disagree or agree, if we think of bullying as flashlight squads I fully agree with you a good billy will dunk on them always, however if we are talking the bully time of team that has the objective to make the match as miserable as possible while still beating you (they are good), billy will get devoured, he is easy af to counter in most maps and there are certain techs you can do to mess with his power and stress him, seen a ton of comp billies get eaten alive by good teams.

    +1 for Knight. Nice thing about him is if survivors are trying to hang around exit gates, you can chase them out without even having to look at their faces.

    Knight's extremely easy to "bully" because his power is garbage unless the survivor has no where to run. Killers like Nurse and Blight can end chases extremely quickly, leaving survivors less time to waste showboating.

    Pyramid Head!

    Can't flashy save or sabo if you're not going to a hook!

    Probably Knight, since he can punish people that attempt to get saves or sabos fairly easily with his guards.

    Also, the guards can bodyblock the flashlight beam.

    Same goes for Head On and Power Struggle or DS, allowing to set up a guard in advance if you get stunned and put them in chase right away.

    And like mentioned before, he can force survivors out of the match without needing to be at the gate, and even punish them with Iri Banner for not leaving.

    my vote is plague. survivors will usually spend most of the game injured and it's hard to bully when injured. also, if they're not injured do they really want to be infected? and do they really want to cleanse just to bully you? it's not a winning strategy.
