    Heavily depends what killers you are enjoying currently

    just gonna say that Oni and Trickster are a no go on controller. Twins and Deathslinger also to some degree

    There could be 3 criteria:

    • killer strength
    • killer fun/looks
    • perks

    The one that meet all three, in my opinion, is hot crow-mommy.


    Deathslinger not strong, but fun, if you like FPS.

    Twins is kinda fun (i don't know why everyone hate them), but that's all

    Legion has good perk.

    Oni is strong (but has high skill-floor)

    Dredge - not everybody's cup of tea, but pretty fun

    Twins is fun, but can feel clunky due to their long cooldowns from switching. Dont buy Twins for their perks unless you want a Hoarder build for Cenobite. Has good snowball potential if you get good with Victor

    I suck at Deathslinger, but good deathslings spike fear in me. DMS goes well with Pain Res from Artist

    Legion has good built in slowdown as long as you hit your frenzy hits. I dont particularly find them fun to play as due to them being primarily an M1 killer. Decent perks

    I have no opinion on Trickster except that his perks are pretty decent, if not build dependent

    Skull Merchant....I'd hold off until people test her new haste buffs

    Dredge has an ok antiloop and decent mobility, perks are meh

    Artist has pretty good antiloop and Pain Res is a decent perk

    Oni can start really slow but can have REALLY good snowball potential, perks are terrible
