So, how good is Ghostface?

Ghostface is really decent but he is quite addon reliant considering how long his power recovery is (30 seconds without addons)

Lol, you're obviously biased 🤣

I like playing Ghostface when I don't want to think. Just go into stealth and patrol gens. If they're not paying attention either stab them or expose them. If they are paying attention and you're not, the red spider web will tell you where they are. Then it's just a normal chase like every other killer, sprinkled with going undetectable mid-chase. (Double edged sword. It hides your glow but you're not registered in a chase so the Entity may not block windows)

Not really.

You can do nothing at filler loops unlike nurse, spirit, PH, Hunteress (sometimes), doctor, clown, freddy with his slowdown etc

You can hide your red stain at other loops but I don't think that makes a big difference and using your ability just to mindgame at a loop is usually a waste.

Strong stealth but you can get revealed and you lose it as soon as you hit someone and in that time you're essentially a powerless m1 killer.

No mobility

You can instadown people but his stalk can consume time and turn out pretty unreliable.

The buffs were definitely an improvement to him overall. Imo he's now quite decent even addonless. With add-ons he's actually very nice. His power is quite unintuitive to use but isn't that hard to learn, it's gonna take you a while to know where to use it though. He requires a lot more map and survivor knowledge than a lot of other killers.

And also I wouldn't really choose a killer based on if they're"good" or not. Go with the killers that you think look the most fun because every killer can perform perfectly fine in the majority of games you'll play.

Better than gf imo and if you haven't bought BBQ from shrine of secrets already you'll be able to get one of the best perks in the game from him.

GF has thrilling which is also good but no where near BBQ

I really enjoy playing him, but I feel like he attracts DC’s, so I don’t play him as much as I’d like to. :(

Did I say something strange? Just telling him to consider the perks each killer has.

I honestly "know" he isn't the best killer out there but he is hands down the best stealth killer over Wraith, Pig and even Myers for actually ambushing survivors. His weakness is traversing the map and that he doesn't have a instantly winnable power during loops - you WILL need to work on your fundamentals as a killer.

The reason he's better than Wraith and Pig is the almost lack of downside or activation condition other than a cooldown for going stealth - and the ability to have lethality without having to jump through hoops with perks. 99% by leaning out from something then walk up to them like a normal chase and you can immediately pop and down people - a well played Ghostface will basically never have to hit an unexposed healthy survivor unless they're freely offering themselves up to you.

Between Bubba and Ghostface - I would say the current Cannibal after the rework is far more dangerous from a purely balance standpoint if they have all their perks and addons available. Lots of window loops and even pallet loops aren't very safe against new Cannibal and requires good timing and far more skill once the Cannibal knows how to effectively zone as well.

That said GF basically only stacks his cooldown addons or runs Outdoor Surveillance Camera(+Infectious Fright)+ Pen for 100% map wide information that survivors can't really play around BUT doing stealth mind games is still far more fun to play than running people over with Cannibal (which is pretty much the only fun part about Bubba).

Middle of the pack. Definitely way worse killers, but definitely way better killers. I like him. He's pretty chill to play and you can do a lot of damage quickly if you know how to be efficient with his stalking mechanic. He's fun.

Ghostface is a good stealth killer because he has no wait time between entering and exiting stealth. This enables him to walk around and stalk survivors (or go to a tree or a corner, and it will let you lean to stalk, which fills the stalk meter on them faster). He can stalk each survivor individually, and most will stalk those they're not actively chasing to 95% or so, and then finish the job as they're moving in, as once they become exposed, there is a timer, otherwise, there is not. His weakness is his reveal. Survivors who are familiar with Ghostface can completely kill his power by sticking nearby and constantly revealing him. In those instances, I don't so much use his power to stalk, so much as to move in close to start a chase where I'll just m1 them. Ghostface also has rather short reach, and when survivors vault windows and pallets, you'll usually find yourself missing the lunge. He also has the ability to teabag like survivors (thanks to his rapid crouching), and can walk like a totally smooth criminal. He's just fun to play. Between him and the Pig, he is the much more fun option. Once you learn how to avoid survivors revealing you (moving behind objects and all), you're usually set.

When it comes to revealing, an added bonus is that, whenever a survivor starts to reveal you, you will see little white semi-circles on your screen, indicating from which direction a survivor is looking at you. If they successfully reveal you and bring you out of stealth, you will see an orange web pulsing over their location, so you can engage in chase anyway. He's not slower than other killers either, so even if you have to resort to a basic m1 chase, you're good to go.

The OTHER thing to know about being revealed is that survivors can always reveal you if you're in their line of sight. That includes survivors who are downed on the ground, or hanging from a hook. Never hook someone and then try to stealth immediately, or you'll wind up behind revealed by the hooked survivor. If you slug survivors, however, you can easily find them by moving to where you think they are, and if they catch you on their screen, it might start to reveal you, pretty much showing you where they are.

GF is as good as the person using him.

One of my personal faves.

If you haven't purchased Bubba yet, then I would highly recommend getting him since he has one of the best perks in the whole game. DBD lives and dies on blood points, and BBQ is the best way to go about getting those blood points.

As for ghostface? Like you I'm interested in playing him because I haven't done so yet either, but I've watched plenty of streams and YouTube videos. His power has a long cool down, and it's also countered by spine chill. He can also easily be knocked out of his power should any survivor be looking at him long enough, and that includes hooked survivors. This is why DBD desperately needs a practice mode. The last thing I want to do is practice with a killer I've never played with before, all-the-while being expected to compete against highly skilled players.

He’s mediocre.. not bad but not good either

Mid tier at best and pretty boring to play.
