I have unlocked every killer but I am unsure which one I should now put time and points into, and was wandering if the community had any ideas which I should focus on. So, which 3 killers should I focus on and why cuz I really love the game but can't decide.

Oh and btw I am a doctor and legion main lel

    It depends on what you want to be doing. Do you want to (potentially) decimate survivors then try playing hillbilly,nurse,spirit and Freddy.

    if your playing for fun then try to make meme builds for killers you like.

    for example ninja doc, feral forever legion etc.

    Leatherface for the BBQ perk, because you need the bloodpoints.

    If you have a lot of time, learn Nurse, because she is the most powerful. If you don't have that much time, learn Spirit, because she is the 2nd best.

    teachables like BBQ,POP,Corrupt,Thana,Nurses will be good ones to learn early on.

    Although people say nurse is the strongest i feel the time it takes to learn her and all her add-ons isnt worth it and i dont feel shes as strong as people make out. the killer is more your choice, which one you enjoy playing and can play well. personally i avoid huntress and bubba as playing against them is the easiest (for me) but id say try them all, youll soon find out which are more fun to you and which are stronger in your play style

    You don't have to play the killers you don't enjoy to get their perks.

    Play someone you like and feel comfortable, and dump the bp on the others.

    It's really grindy though.

    Ghost Face is really strong with the right perks. Hillbilly is incredible even without perk but takes skill. Freddy just has all around good pressure.

    I personally would start by unlocking all the teachable perks, then just dump points into your mains until they have all the perks.

    Hag. I hear Ruin is great late game.

    I'd suggest getting all the killers to level 40 first to get the teachables and learn the killers so you can find out which one you enjoy playing but if you want to rank up I'd suggest learning nurse spirit and hillbilly

    What you want to do first of all is get every killer to level 40. That way all their teachable perks are available to all your killers. It's up to you to decide which order you want to level them.

    Get BBQ unlocked from Leatherface ASAP (if you don't already have it)..seriously, if ANY person has aspirations to play this game and get invovled in the grind, BBQ is a must to speed things along.

    After thst, probably look at which Killers you want to play and what Perks you think you want to go after...After getting Leatherface & Hag to lvl 40, I just went around and leveled every Killer to 40 to get their Perks unlocked, save for Ghostface whom I main and been trying to unlock every Perk on him. Once he has all current Perks, I intend to go down the list of my favs.

    Dunno if that's the best way, but getting each Killer leveled up for their teachable perks unlocked & available to play and then focus on one Killer to jus load up on Perks is how I've been having fun.

    I could probably give you some suggestions. What do you like about Legion and Doctor? Is it the way they slow the gens down, or the tracking, etc.? If it's the slowdown you're after, the Pig is a pretty decent choice. Her traps can waste quite a bit of time.

    Pig traps are pretty RNG. so nope.

    They are, but it goes both ways. Sometimes they'll get them off first try (maybe only wasting ~20 seconds), other times they'll waste ~2 minutes trying to get it off.

    I'd say Spirit, Ghostface and Freddy would be my first three. They are the funnest while still being very strong, IMO. If you want more of a challenge while still having fun powers and add ons then I'd go for Wraith, Myers and Hag. They are deadly in the right hands. Not as easily accessible as the first three, but a ton of fun when you figure them out, especially because their add ons drastically alter the strengths of their power and what you can do with them.

    Nea is the strongest killed by far.
