Buy new killer with shards?

I got some shards sitting around and I don't really know what killer to get. So far I got Myers, Doctor and The Clown.

So I am left with The Plague, The Pig, The Legion, The Spirit, Freddy, Leatherface and The Hag.


Who should I get next?

Thx in advance for your comments.

    I forgot to mention. I don't need any of the killers for the perks as I already got those perks from the shrine of secrets.

    Personally I like legion, but spirit is better in overall

    Any idea on how the plague is? I checked some videos but can't really decide.

    Plague is ok.. but if you like mind gaming Spirit is best by far.. and the funniest.

    You cannot buy licensed Killers with Shards. So Leatherface, Pig and Freddy are not possible.

    Hag is quite fun to play.

    Plague's interesting, pretty complicated, and somewhere in the mid-tier. I play her a bit, and I enjoy it. Get her if you want!

    Personally, my favorite killers are Hag and Legion. Hag's weird, and to play her well you need to know where to place traps, when to teleport, and when to give up a chase. She's very good, but not everyone likes playing her.

    Legion is more straightfoward. Their play style is more focused on bouncing between survivors, keeping them off gens by injuring them. Killer instinct is very powerful, and there are some perks like M&A and STBFL that compliment legion's power. They aren't as good as hag since they have to M1 to down people, but they feel very nimble, and that's fun.

    I'd watch gameplay of all the killers you're thinking about and then decide by going off that.

    Depending on how you play I'd suggest Spirit over Hag, unless you like to play strategically then Hag over Spirit :)

    Get Hag and grind for Ruin then save up for Spirit.

    Well if perks aren't an issue than grab Ghostface next month.

    You can not buy licensed killers with shards. You have to pay for them.

    Oh yeah, I forgot. Then get Legion. Join us in the vigil to pray for their souls. FJSJ deserved better from the entity than they got.

    Hag and/or Spirit.

    Hag or Spirit. Depends on which playstyle would be more fun for you.

    Hag if you're looking for a strong Killer, Legion if you're looking for a fun Killer, and Spirit if you unironically think a power that lets you not be a 110 M1 Killer every 10 to 15 seconds is a high-tier ability.

    Does anyone know how many pukes does it take for The Plague to put a survivor in broken status without addons?

    I think if you get ALL of it on a Survivor, it can only take 1 puke. However, I personally don't use puking as a "chase" power per se; I play in a more fire-and-forget style of play so that I can get everyone infected quicker. So as soon as a Survivor I'm chasing gets the tiniest bit of infection on him, I'm gone, because by the time I'm back, they're guaranteed to either be fully sick or have given me Corrupt Purge; meanwhile, at least 1 or 2 other Survivors also would have also gotten infected in the time I was gone.

    Spolier alert: the licenced characters( character movies)

    id say Spirit.

    she is extremely fun to play, while also not being a weak killer.


    or go for Hag, if you havent unlocked Hex: Ruin yet. she is also very strong, but not as fun to play as spirit imo.


    in the end, its all up to you. choose which ever killer you think sounds the coolest and try them out.

    I got 5 out of 8 killers at Prestige 3 so yeah...perks are not what I look at when I get a new killer as I got most of the good perks out there already.

    Would of been nice if we could try all the killers for a game or two.

    Get Hag or Spirit. Both have amazing perks and are top tier killers.
