Which killer should I buy?

I have 600 Auric cells and I want to spend them on a killer. I m thinking about ghostface,leatherface,pig and shape. As well pyramid head is coming and im thinking about him.

I want a killer that has good enough perks, has a good abillity and is fun to play.

So can you guys help me decide who should I get...

    For the best over all perks it would be Leather Face(BBQ and chili for double BP and reveal + 2 good general use perks) or shape(Best obsession perks in the game).

    For the most fun is subjective as each one does their own seperate thing.

    If you like pure stealth then GF.

    if you want a build up to a rampage with a stealth build option then the Shape.

    If you like Saw, trolling with reverse bear traps, and don't mind a weaker killer then the Pig.

    If you like rampages and camping(You need shape's Play With Your Food perk to do much else) then play Leather face

    I'd say Ghostface or Myers, stealth killers are very good with certain builds (nurse's and sloppy combo) and playstyles; for example when I play Myers I don't chase every survivor, I use a couple of them to feed my power until it's 99'd, maybe get them injured with sloppy or get a pallet drop and then focus on hooking the other two until they're dead. My favourite add ons are dead rabbit (which reduces your terror radius, works well with the nurse's + sloppy combo) and Scratched mirror. Throw in good map offerings like Lery's, Hawkins or the game and you get all the benefits of playing a stealth killer.

    Ghostface:

    Fairly strong, can get easy hits and downs as he can cancel his terror radius and instadown survivors (although it's often more efficient to just hit them while having no terror radius instead of stalking them), can mindgame some loops by crouching while changing directions. If survivors reveal you they give their positions away via killer instinct. Most people seem to enjoy him.


    Leatherface:

    Has the best grinding perk in the game (BBQ), has a legit instadown which however slows him down allowing survivors to reach a pallet or window, can be spotted across the map, doesn't have anything to counter strong loopers which is why people often get frustrated and facecamp with him.


    Pig/Amanda:

    Can slow down the game using her helmets (rng reliant), the helmets give away positions of survivors by beeping loudly once activated and will SOMETIMES kill a survivor (rare), can cancel her terror radius and use the ambush attack to anti-loop certain pallets.


    Myers:

    Best dancer and hottest killer in the game, starts off with no terror radius by default allowing you to sometimes grab people off generators at the start of the game, has a very potent and easy instadown with an increased lunge range, his addons allow him to play the game in various ways. Jumpscare Myers, infinite t3 Myers, tombstone Myers etc. come to mind.


    Pyramid Head:

    Seems to be potent in anti-looping with his ranged attack which however is extremely difficult to hit against good survivors who react and dodge, has a built-in minimori, you can send tormented survivors to cages after downing them which spawns them to the other side of the map.

    Pig from the list is probably one of the best to go for along with myers. Pig mainly because she's unique in not requiring teachables to not get gen rushed endlessly. Surveillance is good too, make your choice a bit more niche but still good.


    Myers is just a decently fun and has really good perks, though not nessisarily on him.

    Imma go against the grain and say skip on Leatherface. BBQ, while a great perk to help mitigate the grind for BP, doesn't really justify the purchasing price. And to add to that, I just find him very boring to play as.


    If you're looking for a challenge get Ghostface or Myers.


    I enjoy the pig but I'm not a fan of RNG deciding if my RBT goes off in my favor or not.

    I got all of them and enjoy GF and pig the most, GF a little bit more. Myers is alright as well and PH seems to be pretty strong, but time and PTB adjustments may change that, so I wouldn’t count on it.


    it would be good to know your general playstyle and rank. Leatherface may not be a good Killer, but if you actually enjoy facecamping, guaranteeing a 2K every game with that and collect salt then he is the perfect choice ;)

    Ghost Face and Pig are ace but, Pyramid Head is shiny and new and also awesome from what we have seen. I'd say wait the 3 weeks and grab the new toy, friend.

    If you want blood points and don't mind unlocking a weaker killer. Leatherface. Bbq is amazing for earning them blood points. There are even certain builds used by other killers that make use of the perk, for information tracking and not just blood points, so it can be a double win.

    Myers, has so many different ways to play him. Jumpscare, endless tier three, tombstone and more. So you honesty can't go wrong with Myers. That and play with your food and save the best for last can be fun perks to play around with, on a number of different killers. Which Myers starts in tier one, you move at 105% movement speed, have a shorter lunge attack range and need to get into tier 2, to become a normal killer. Which if you slap monitor and abuse on Myers, your terror radius will be so small. You can still easily sneak up on people, even in tier 2. Tier three one shot city, which just like ghostface, you can hold it at 99% and then unleash true terror when the moment is right.

    Pig's sneaky ability works in a interesting way, from what i recall it takes a few seconds before your terror radius goes away while crouching but the same is true while coming out of crouch. Pigs head traps are rng base. They can a slow down the game a fair bit or do jack as the survivor gets it off first try. Surveillance is a perk that can combine with a number of other perks very well like surge. They have a dash attack which can be useful at certain loops or for the mind games.


    Danny Phantom, i means Jame i mean ghostface, oh wait The Ghost Face, copy right bro. Well do you like sneaking around? Do you like one shots? Do you like sneaking up on people and scaring them half to death? Do you like having the ability to choose between a no stalk style of play and stalking type of gameplay? Than ghostface is right up your alley. Ghostface Crouch can be used in a number of ways, if a wall is big enough, you can crouch and use it to mind game someone, for they can't see you coming. Can crouch and than quickly uncrouch while in a chase, to try and trick a survivor into thinking you are going in for a lunge attack, to bait them into using their dead hard. I'm all ears can be a fun perk to play around with. Allowing you to know what a survivor is going to do, when ever they fast vault a pallet or window for a few seconds. Thrilling tremors, can be a good for information tracking, for it helps you to know which gens are being worked on and which gens are not being worked on.

    GF and Myers is pretty boring. Bubba is fun but I would buy Pig.

    GF is super fun. i'm having a blast playing as him, and i also like to play against him. he really keeps you on his toes. he is very strong, even without addons (although his recovery is a bit slow, so recovery addons are recommended), and you can do many creative and fun builds on him. my favorite is: dark devotion, nurse's, BBQ, and surge/PGTW. I'm all ears is highly underrated, it's an excellent chase perk on every killer. I'm all ears on the nurse, huntress, and the spirit can win you games by itself. TT is a decent replacement for BBQ.

    Mickey is also a fun killer to play, and he has some crazy and cool addons. Overall, he's weaker than GF in my opinion, but there are some situations where he can destroy whole teams in a couple of minutes. Also, STBFL is one of the best killer perks in the game, and my favorite perk currently. I have it in almost every build. PWYF is a bit niche, but still can be strong.

    I get surprisingly good results with Ms.Piggy. Her slowdown is hindered by RNG, but it's still a good slowdown. Her dash can be useful with addons, and her stealth is not half bad. Surveillance and MYC are good, solid perks.

    LF? buy him if you need BBQ, other than that I really don't see a reason to buy.

    my final recommendation is GF, just because he is so fun to play, and he is probably the strongest killer out of the four.

    I hope I helped you with your decision, good luck!

    Oink.

    Myers is just an all-round solid choice, but I would actually just recommend outright buying the Halloween chapter, since Laurie also has great survivor perks.


    Leatherface has decent perks, but you're probably better off waiting for the shrine to have them.


    Ghostface is a very strong stealth killer, doesn't have a survivor attached and some of his perks are decent. I normally hate this type of comparison, but to me he's a better Wraith for 90% of the playerbase.


    Pig is super fun, though. LOVE playing as her. Love SAW too. She has a lot of versitility in her kit and can tremendously slow down a game with the RBT's if they don't remove them instantly. Bit hard to get into though, has she is quite slow and outside of learning dash mindgames, doesn't really have that much chase potential. And I love Surveillance which is one of her teachables.

    Bubba for sure, you NEED BBQ

    Definitely Ghostface or Pyramid Head

    The other killers are a bit lackluster imo.

  • PigMainClaudette

    No you don't. I've been playing without it on some killers and I do just fine!

    The points are nice, but then again I also focus on the Archives lately. They're a huge boost and the lore is getting pretty interesting.

    100% get Myers. Great perks, very versatile killer with playstyles and builds, and is just all around fun.

    The bonus with Myers is that fangirls will throw themselves at him.

    Alright Im changing my vote to Myers.

    Thank you everyone for the help to decide

    I have decided to buy ghostface because a lot of people say that he is fun to play and can stalk you when you dont notice

    I dont know if he has good perks but I think he is the best choice

  • TatsuyaSuo

    Ghostface is a lot of fun, myers is very versatile, freddy can be super oppressive, doctor is annoying and blendettes (which are extremely common) are cannon fodder against him, clown is also very fun although kinda weak right now but his pop goes the weasel is so good after the gen rush nerfs.

  • Harisdem
    Harisdem Member Posts: 8

    I wanted to ask is spirit and clown free to everyone or they are free only to switch version cause when i bought the game i got them free

  • Yamaoka

    Spirit and Clown can be obtained with (9000) shards which you get via playtime so yeah they're pretty much free.

    Out of the ones you mentioned, I would go for Pig as she's the most versatile.

    She has stalk stance, a charge attack and her traps.

    Fun killer 👍
