Anyone switch mains recently?

Just curious if anyone's switched up their main characters, or even their main role. Personally I went from being a Kate main to Zarina, and I'm trying to add Plague back into my normal killer rotation (which is pretty much just Blight and Legion at the moment). Anyone else? Added a new character to their rotation, switched up their main, something like that?

    I'm trying to incorporate Demo into my rotation, mostly so I have a leg to stand on in discussions about him, but it's pretty difficult on Console with zero gen regression perks.

    For survivor I usually just use Meg, Heather, and Dwight.

    For killer my normal rotation is nurse, huntress, oni, demo, slinger and PH sometimes.

    I usually switch killers every rank reset. Now I'm trying out the only killer I've always avoided, Nurse.

    I probably should...to who that I don't know (yet)

    My main is Pig

    My rotation is: Pig, Hag, Spirit, Huntress

    The rest are played on occasion with exceptions to Bubba and Freddie

    A lot of my killers don't have good perks (no, not even the "meta" ones)

    Went from pig back in 2018 to nurse, then billy and now blight.

    I have been playing a lot of Ace lately, usually a Tapp main.

    As killer, I switch around a lot. But I always end a session with a couple Spirit games. My original main.

    Allows me to get the taste of trying a new killer out of my mouth and have some matches I feel strong in, before I call it a night.

    if they rework clown to make him an easy meta killer like Freddy I’ll probably play deathslinger


    as for survivor I am playing a lot more elodie now and switched from Jeff to Quentin awhile ago

    Well not really recently, but I did switch from Billy to Blight after he released and started playing Survivor more often again.

    I did switch up my main build for Blight up though, from the classic meta of ruin/undying/bbq/free slot to just bbq/infectious.

    I do plan to maybe go back to Nurse for a while, since I've gotten very rusty with her and want to refresh my muscle memory again.

    I changed my main from Spirit to Blight when he was released. But my non-main rotation killers are Ghostface, Pig, Plague, and Oni.

    Wow, that is a lot of bloodpoints to sink into characters

    I actually main Trapper and Myers, but I´ve played tons of Oni recently, ngl he´s leagues above them in power which makes me kinda sad. I´m still kinda clunky but I´m getting better.

    I´m using the BP I´m farming with him (he seems to be an insane bp generator) to p3 more Survivors. Kate will be done soon, Feng is next, and I think I´ll leave it at 5. Prestiging is so tedious.

    What made you switch to Zarina?

    Still playing Nancy as a Survivor.

    As for the Killer, since Legion is bugged I switched to Blight, my other main.

    Yeah, trapper needs some serious quality of life adjustments.

    RNG with him and pig both needs to go as well, it just causes too many unfair points in games.


    People getting out of my traps first try....yeah.....you get back in that trap where you belong Jake

    I've been a Freddy main but after they reworked him he started getting really stale, to the point now he's just boring to play

    I am now maining Pyramid Head. I find his gameplay to be much more engaging and just funner

    As for survivor I'm a Cheryl main.


    One can probably tell that I love silent hill

    Honestly, pretty much everything. I like her outfits better, I like her look better, she's a lot rarer to see, and I resonate a lot with her lore, at least the childhood part of it.

    I don't know if Legion is bugged any more, I've been playing them a fair bit recently and I'm definitely moving more than 115 in FF. Hard to tell if it's back to the normal 130, and if it's just my game being mysteriously unbugged or an actual patch I didn't notice

    I know the feels, 1st try escapes happen about 50% of the time in my experience. Since Wraith and Clown buffs are announced, he´s the next logical choice to revisit.

    Also, greetings fellow Krampus player :)

    It's not their movement speed, it's their lunge which is bugged, it's really inconsistent.

    No no no, they have broken them completely, then fixed the FOV / movement speed bug, but didn't fixed the lunge bug, because they didn't have enough info... (Literally needed to play one game as Legion lol)

    Killer from nurse and Freddy to huntress and legion.

    Survivor from Nea to Scoops ahoy Steve.

    I play Felix a lot, but I wouldn't really say I have a main. I like to play with, Felix, Kate, Nea, Meg, Dwight, Jane, Zarina, David, Feng, Steve, Cheryl (I use the Lisa skin), Dwight and Elodie.

    Killers: I main Pig and Legion.

    As Killer, no There's several Killers that I like (Doctor, Freddy, Demogorgon, Plague, Wraith, Blight, Myers, and Clown), but I play Doctor and Freddy the most (trying to get the most out of Freddy just in case his upcoming changes butcher him and I've loved Doctor since 2017).

    For Survivor I main Laurie right now but I'm considering adding David. Laurie is because I'm a big Halloween fan and David just seems like the coolest original Survivor.

    Been having fun slugging with Doc and Clown a lot lately... maybe too much.

    Nea’s always my bestie, but this past month has been more matches with onesie-Zarina and Cheryl.

    I prefer to play Claudette, she was my main for years. But the BMing of that character has gotten so out of hand I have switched to Meg and/or Feng Min so I can just play the game instead of being tunneled and face camped out of every match. In the last few weeks I have switched to playing mostly killer because the wait times for survivor are so out of hand it is not worth it to wait 20 minutes for every 10 minute match. For Killers I main Trapper but also enjoy Dr and Myers too.
