Do you have a Killer that actually makes you feel powerful and dangerous when playing?

I think Pyramid Head probably is the one that actually makes me feel powerful and dangerous when playing him. He's really tall and strong, look-wise. Gameplay-wise he also makes me feel powerful, just because of how he can shred through the survivor's defences. I think his mysterious vibe also makes him dangerous and scary, on-top of that his HUGE knife.

Please tell me your killer that you think makes you feel powerful and dangerous when playing!

    Pyramidhead.

    or Deathslinger even (I used to play competitive CoD2 back in the day so being good at shooters helps).

    Spirit’s my main, so it’s definitely her.

    Oni and p head. There are just those moments where you are the reason all of the survivors just completely falls apart.

    Any killer but especially légion. I suck so hard (even more than with the others) that survivors start laughing so hard that it gives me the opportunity to engage fury hell and actually win

    Trapper when I get someone in the basement. There is no getting out if I don't feel sorry for you.

    He also made me feel powerful because I loved it when I notice survivors are actively avoiding plain old grass.

    Clown. It’s becoming increasingly easy to down survivors the more experience I accrue with him. Survivors that don’t care about stealth, or are just not good at stealth die very quickly in my matches, no matter how good they would usually be in a chase because I screw with all of their chase options as Clown.

    Trapper still makes me incredibly paranoid. Hesitating at every patch of grass, corner, and vault before proceeding.

    Myers, whenever he saw Halloween the guy was shot, stabbed, burned and hanged and he didn't die, When he played it it makes me feel powerful and immortal.

    As awkward as this may sound: I really like your dedication to Clown. It's oddly satisfying.

    @topic:

    Bubba. Ever since he was released he made me feel like an actual killer that survivors have to avoid at all costs unlike literally every other killer in the game. This feeling hasn't changed in all these years even though there's some killers that are mechanically stronger.

    Definitely Myers. I know how to snowball a match with a tier 3.

    Thank you.

    Honestly, my persistence with sticking with Clown is that I simply don’t have the patience for endless looping, and long chases.

    Getting to the point of knowing exactly how survivors will run most loops means that Clown can quickly kill almost all of their chase options, or get survivors wasting pallets at amusing rate. That might make you wonder why I never picked Nurse up. I just like that Clown doesn’t need to be attacking/approaching in a linear fashion. I can remove all the survivors options, and reduce their mobility without compromising any of Clown’s base mobility.

    It never sat right with me that people would easily call say Clown is the worst killer, while in the same breath so that Freddy is too easy to play and overpowered. Clown's gas is so much better than Freddy's snares, as you can aim ahead of survivor's routing to stop "hold W" gamers, and with addons are more reliable and available. Freddy's snares can be countered by abandoning the loop since he has to set them up or just waking yourself up.

    The only reason Freddy is better than Clown is because of his teleport, and not many survivors bother to wake up or abandon loops against him. Clown is more deadly in a chase than Freddy and I hope his rework solidifies that identity.

    I turn into an extra huge bush when I play against Trapper. I just run in a straight line to try to get him to the other side of the map so my team could have some time to heal or finish a gen. I won't vault anything or go on grass. Plunderers is a Godsend against him when it gives me a pink map.

    One thing I have noticed about Trapper, and this may just be me, is that they're the least sweaty killer that I face unless they're working on an annoying basement challenge or something.

    I still love playing as him, I just wish devs would hurry up and make his bag add-ons base-kit and allow him to start with all his traps.

    Oni

    Infinite T3 Meyers.

    There is nothing better than cleaning the bad taste of getting blown up by mis-ranked, poor matchmaking than splurging on Evil Within 3 and just going from person to person, tearing apart anyone I find, or who come to help those I've gotten.

    Previously, using an Ebony Mori with Discipline Doctor filled that niche, but that's gone now because always more killer nerfs.

    Demogorgon.

    I know how to do massive damage and pressure the entire map with him, and thats before perks. Whack on NOED, Distressing, IF, and STBFL and the second that last gen pops its a slaughter cause he only has 2 objectives to defend.

    Nurse... she’s invincibility tier feel while playing her


    ...also, Doc is insane and dominance over everything is on another level

    Blight takes the nr.1 spot for me. He just has everything I like about a killer: mindgames (outside the normal m1 mindgames), anti loop on basically 90% of all structures, speed and, as a result, lethality. He also counters the hold W after a hit/pallet strat and most of the time also counters bodyblocks, since it's really easy to slip by a healthy survivor or a survivor with BT and get a lethal rush hit.

    There are also tons of ways to improve while playing him, due to his high skill ceiling and tons of different strats for chases.

    On top of that he both doesn't rely on add-ons AND has really good add-ons to spice his gameplay up, one of which even makes him situationally even more lethal than a nurse.

    The only downside right now are faulty structure hitboxes on some older maps + most reworked maps and his camera position, with one of them being confirmed to get fixed soon-ish.

    Overall one of the best and most fun killers they ever released imo, just a shame that his power and lore don't fit well, would be interesting to see what an alchemist could do except running fast and hitting people with a stick.

    Oni for sure, a good Oni is absolutely scary to face, and you feel so powerful when you get his gauge filled.

    Hag

    Spirit or Blight

    Blight. Nurse. Spirit. Huntress.

    But above all else, with no exception, Hag. I would be more confident running perkless Hag on Haddonfield than Nurse with Ruin/Undying/Infectious Fright/I'm All Ears on Blood Lodge.

  • Demo. Trapper. Oni.

    Hag. I feel unfairly in control of a match as Hag lol, well as long as survivors are in my web but even then I can extend the web out and into other areas with well placed traps and just absolutely control everything.

    The only thing that I feel I have absolutely no control over as Hag is the end game as, if the Gates are far apart it's gg. Some survivors are inevitably gonna escape because her mobility is limited to the triggered traps.


    On the flipside the killer I feel powerless as is Plague. My God this poor character has quite possibly the worst design and bugs right now. I really hope Behavior fixes her because currently she's unplayable for me.
