Most Played Killers (October 2025)
I made this list based on NightLight’s data. Kind of surprised to see Myers at #1 even with Halloween hype and recent buffs. Krasue has also been dropping down fast in pick rate, despite recent bug fixes and being relatively new.
Also, not too shocked to see these bottom 5 least played:
- Twins – 83 (0.74%)
- Hag – 105 (1.27%)
- Cenobite – 131 (1.31%)
- Skull Merchant – 134 (1.34%)
- Demogorgon – 157 (1.57%)
What do you guys think about this?

surprised to see springtrap up so high tbh, I love playing him but when I play survivor he feels like I only see him once or twice in a long session. Although I don't use nightlight so maybe I just don't understand what the statistic means.

Seems accurate to my games.

To be fair, I have seen a lot more Ghostfaces as compared to Myers in my survivor games.

Krasue got overnerfed. She’s not worth playing anymore.

The top 5 mesh with my matches except Ghoul. I'm very lucky to rarely see him. And I can count on my fingers how many total times I've see a Krasue.

You mean, she got the nerfs that she deserved, to not be greatly overtuned anymore.

Vault definitely was overnerfed, it's completely useless in most scenarios, but she is still solid A tier anyway.
It's hard to play her against good swf who knows her counterplay, but it always was that way.

None of the ones I play made the list.
Pig
Onryo
Ghostface (lately)

No. I mean she was nerfed so much that she not worth playing anymore.
She is super unfun to play as, when the opponents are a coordinated SWF, because she is really weak against coordinated bodyblocking.
She’s also unfun to play as in 1v1, because she often needs to keep switching forms to break pallets. She would be much better off if she could break pallets in head mode, and was no longer able to float over the pallets.

Glad to see Mikey at number 1. With those recent buffs he's so fun to play.
Poor Demo in the bottom 5. He really is one of the most power crept killers in the game. Just about everything he does is done better by other killers.

Most are same boring killers I see every game expect Oni. Im just bored to them so I barely play anymore. Game is getting so stale at least 2vs8 comes back soon.

Didn't even notice I have played agains't him once he can't be 1.
-2 -
Oh well if you say so then it must be true.

Yeah i kinda agree. She's oppressive at pallet loops but she no longer has any strategical potential with her leech being removed on hook, you can't ever really make them run out. She's also pretty mediocre on indoor maps.
Overall i don't really see the reason to play her, there are far more appealing options when it comes to chase killers with mobility… like Ghoul-1 -
If I play 5 games now it's going to be Ghoul, Krause, Ghoul, Ghoul, Myers. Pretty much all my games now.

Well it's hard to believe. I didn't state it as a fact.

It's not that surprising to see Myers up there, in my opinion, it's been my experience that new releases and fresh reworks are always the most popular killers in that timeframe. The same thing happened to Freddy in the official stats, if you recall.
What's more surprising to me is that Nurse isn't in the top ten, considering the stats are from nightlight. You'd expect the ways in which that dataset is limited to result in the best killers being more represented than they are in the real stats, or at least I would.
Maybe Nurse's reputation has just fallen more than the other top few killers. Interesting to think about- I'd be very interested to hear how she stacks up in official stats compared to this.
Also damn, Demogorgon bottom five? It's not that bad, that's pretty crazy low for it.

Coordianted bodyblocking is very strong against her but same goes for m1 killers and she can still deal with them its slow and she must go to m1 for and infect them and than switch to head form or hit them 3 times in head form but still once the survivors are infected the head form will break through them with her flight and long attack she can younter it. Comapre to m1 killers that have only m1 like pinhead who if he hits chains they can be broken by enviroment or blocking survivor, no mobility or other attack that would help him, same doctor he can counter dead hard but thats all in bodyblocking he can do, freddy can slow them down if they are sleeping but doesnt have the ability to get through as before which sadako has basekit or vecna has it now when he holds spell but doesnt cast it, ghostface has nothing if survivor bodyblocking isnt 99 which they arent most of times,trapper and merchant nothing, hag nothing, so there are so many killers that in reality suffer way more when survivor team bodyblocks and even krasue in head form deals bad with them she still have tools to get back up after dealing with them compare to all m1 killers I mentioned there they have to get some big luck or the are just killer with m1 attack and power that wont be effective dealing with them as krases power. Even legion can get destroyed by good bodyblocks because he cant go through deep wounded survivor and will lose his power when he hits him but still can go through health states more than other m1 I mentioned above.

Demo is just outdated as ghostface, his shread should get little buff in pallet breaking cooldown and what needs solid buffs are his teleports, they are destroyed by 1 survivor in 10 seconds and faster the more survivors are there, they have stealth for 5 seconds and springtrap has 15 basekit which is nuts this can coexist for this long not tomention when he teleports you can see him go from tunnel before killer even comes out with global warning sound cue that warns all survivors, you can place all portals but than you can t replace them like hag can with her traps which is annoying and his detection range should be little bigger around portals too. Another big problem are addons, there are two addons for his main part of his power which is shread and they are most used than rest is for portals and only two or 3 are good (one is his iri addon that got nerfed hard and still is one of his best addons) rest is crap not worth using (same goes for nemi with addons) and many other killers).
He is fun killer but against all the reworks and new killers or buffs he feels like he was stuck back in 2020.

Nightlight barely represent actually best killers. For last years Wesker, Springtrap, Ghoul for some period. High rate of play defined by hype around specific DLCs.
Nurse currently very bugged for long period and game has other two killers that more forgiving in play, but still providing decent 1vs1 and strong pressure that breaks average public match. She left in demand only for old players and top cap. By my own observations you just don't see “Baby Nurse” anymore. Casual players found toy way funnier and less frustrating. Decent Nurses? They are still here.
And if being honest, her style is pretty specific and may seem less dynamic and more boring compared to same Blight for majority, because she requires less mechanical skill, but better macro against good teams. And bugs again. Her bugs are’t nice and advantagable like ghoul one.
She is still pretty popular on Asian servers however. More than Blight.

Pyramidhead dropped in popularity as well according nightlight and on his lowest again… His rework didn't help a lot

Not surprised with #1. It is near Halloween after all, and Myers right now is very easy to play and get good results in the majority of games. Not too much a problem for a good team that always has eyes on him and is prepared, but otherwise…
-Gasp-… Dare I say it?
Same goes for ghoul.
The rabbit is someone we get a lot. The other night we played 4 games and got him those 4 games. That ruined the whole mood and we ended the night early. He's not even tough and we have a decent escape streak going, so proof again that MMR doesn't work well since we're not even playing the event.

Myers is just there because it's halloween time and everyone's checking out the changes.
Krasue I saw once in 12 hours of playing. She's like dropped off the radar for me.

Well he didn't really get a rework. He just got an add on pass.

Myers isn't surprising as he just got a pretty big rework. Lots of people wanna try him out
