Girlfriend bought some AC for me, help me choose killer to buy

She has seen me playing a ton of this game recently and bought me some currency, which was really nice. I spent some already cause I saw mister angry Venus Fly Trap and was like gimme all of that. I mainly play Doctor, Wraith, and Demilovato, in that order. Suggestions for what killer to buy based on that info would be really cool. I'm currently leaning towards Pig and Ghostface, in order of preference. If those are bad ideas for some reason you can tell me that too. Have a great day all my fellow prisoners of the Fog.

    Buy The Cannibal AKA Bubba for bbq and chili. It tells you where to look next and also doubles your bloodpoints increase which overall helps you get more perks faster. Bubba is also a fun killer if you’re willing to put the time in. Change my mind.

    id honestly save your shards for a licensed character that you cant get for free.

    Just FYI, dude said spirit because the spirit and nurse are meta. God I hope they Nerf the both of them. Survivor win rate is very low against them.

    What's your favourite thing to do? e.g. Do you like scaring people, outsmarting people, moving around quickly, etc.? I can try to suggest something that'll fit ya'.

    If you don't have Cannibal, then i'd buy him, like @BabyBubbaMain says.

    Purely for the Barbecue & Chili Perk.

    It'll speed up that Bloodpoint gain greatly.

    I mean yeah, you could wait for the Shrine of Secrets to show the Perk, but it kinda sucks with this amount of Perks, and will only suck more with every Perk added.

    I personally love Pig

    Still waiting for her buff

    She has a special place in my heart because she's the one killer that won me the last game to get to rank 1

    Plus when she's hit by a pallet she's cute af

    Get spirit if you want easy matches.

    Pig and Ghostface are fun to play as but they are quite weak in red ranks.

    I would suggest you buy myers. I like playing as him, his addons can be really powerful, I also like the Save the best for last perk.

    Michael Myers for the power and cool perks.

    Leatherface FOR THE GRIND.

    Spirit cause she's fun and a little MLG scrublord killer.

    Freddy cause mmh, he's good and fun.


    Also give your girlfriend some love for the Shards, treat her out sometime, in whatever way you do it. ;)

    Firstly, all non licensed killers are out the window, save up Iridescent Shards for them. Michael is mid tier, with pretty meh perks, except for Dying Light.

    Leatherface is low tier, but could be worth it if you don't have BBQ and Chili yet, simply for reducing the grind, and the aura reading is pretty good.

    Freddy is in a really good spot, pretty strong and fun to play killer, with some alright perks.

    Amanda I would watch out for, considering the devs keep nerfing her and nerfing her. IMO, she's a worst Ghostface with a mediocre slowdown tool, with the only notable perk being Surveillance, and Make Your Choice on certain niche builds.

    Ghostface is really good, coming from a biased part time Ghostface main. He gets easy instadowns if you're stealthy enough, although his perks are lackluster.

    Wow, I was not expecting this many responses. I'll try to address the individual points.

    I already got lucky and snagged BBQ from the shrine, so I'm discarding him for now. Also I'm more looking to purchase a killer for the playstyle over perks if I can find one that fits me.

    @Peanits Which leads into your question. I like being able to scare people and do minor mindgames with manipulation of the terror radius, which is why I like Doc and Wraith.

    Another qualification people are bringing up when recommending killers here is how good they are in the meta, which is good info to have. But I really don't play this game to be the best and rank grind, I've topped out at rank 8 as killer over my three months or so, and I'm just fine with that.

    So excluding cannibal I'm hearing Spirit, Freddy, Myers, Pig and Ghost. Honestly I don't think I'm going to go with spirit cause I'm just not that good a player. I really appreciate all yall responding! Anything more is welcome, I appreciate the insight I'm getting.
