Who is worth buying? (Yui vs Kate)
I'm pretty picky and i have an option to buy one character. I'm aiming to Yui and Kate.
The perks of both are interesting.
There is a lot of popularity around Kate for some reason compared to Yui.
Please share your opinion about who is worth buying first.
Whether it's from an appearance and how fun it is to play with them etc.
Thank you 🙂

I personally like Kate and her perks more than Yui, so if I were in your shoes I'd buy her.

Kate. Windows is criminally underrated

I’d say Kate too. Windows is a better perk than what Yui has.
But Kate’s Windows of Opportunity plus Yui’s Any Means Necessary is just value town!

My pick is Kate

i would say Kate.
She is one of the quietest characters and has many great cosmetics.
Windows can be a very useful perk, and Dance With me can also be fun (combo with Lithe and Quick And Quiet)

I have both of them but I’m main Kate :) mainly cause I feel like I resemble her more lol
2 -
Kate has the better perks and is one of the quietest characters.
That said, I like Yui way more and am going to suggest her solely for that.

Kate, if you want better perks and cosmetics.
Yui, if you want to complete the tome.
I personally suggest Yui because I’m biased.

Yui is better to play in terms of stealth. She's the same height, but has better stealth cosmetics and is slightly quieter.
If you're looking for perks, I'd say you can go either way depending on your play-style, but Yui certainly has the edge.
Kate has:
Windows of Opportunity - 3 points: Windows is an incredible perk, especially for new players trying to learn tiles. Even if you are a vet, it can tell you what areas are safe and what areas are dead zones. Pair it with Open Handed (Ace) and you'll be set for chases.
Dance With Me - 1 point: Isn't good unless paired with Quick & Quiet. You can also pair it with Lithe and Iron Will, No Mither, or Deception to completely disappear, but its heavy reliance on other perks pulls it down.
Boil Over - 1 point: Trash. Just run Flip-Flop or have someone else run Saboteur or Breakout.
Yui has:
Any Means Necessary - 2 points: It isn't the most practical of perks, but if the killer decides to leave a pallet alone either because it isn't the safest or they have bloodlust, then you can lift it back up. It's also good because the killer will think the pallet is either destroyed or down, so they'll most likely swing, allowing you to run through it and get some distance or get a stun and run.
Lucky Break - 2 points: A lot of people would give Lucky Break 1 point because it is essentially a less effective Iron Will on a time limit. However, many killers will look for bloodstains if they can't track you through your injured sounds or scratch marks. Take that away and they have nothing to track you by. Throw this on someone like Ace or Dwight and you can vanish pretty easily. Use a quiet character with Lucky Break and Lightweight and you'll be a ghost. Now that Fixated (Nancy) works when injured, you also have that as an option.
Breakout - 2 points: Any perk having to do with wiggling out of the killer's grasp is usually quite bad. Boil Over, Saboteur, and Power Struggle are all ineffective perks. Even Flip-Flop, the best of the wiggle perks is held back by hook spawns and slow recovery speeds. Breakout, however, is incredibly effective, especially if you play in SWF.
The time to wiggle free drops from 16 seconds to 13 and the person with the perk gets Hope as long as they are close enough. This doesn't sound great, but if one or two people block, then you're pretty much off. Breakout also makes Boil Over much more viable since you're wiggling faster and with more force. If the killer can't control you well, then you might not need people to block.
If you happen to just be looking for a skin then go with Kate, but if you're looking at a character for what they offer gameplay-wise, then Yui is 20 times better.

I'd definitely have to go with Kate & here's why:
- Perks: Her perks honestly aren't that bad & I'm loving 2 of them in my vault build which consists of Windows of Opportunity + Dance w/ Me + Lithe + Quick & Quiet. They're both useful in chase & actually work more than not in my experience. Though I will say, Boil Over is trash considering no killer over rank 12 falls for it.
- Cosmetics: I don't know if you're into buying cosmetics, but if you are, Kate definitely has the better ones. She has a variety of styles imo compared to Yui who's outfits all look the same in one factor or more.
The only worthy thing I think Yui has that Kate doesn't is her perk Breakout. This is an amazing perk for sabo-altruistic builds. Either way, you're getting more bang for your buck with Kate.

But from my heart, I'd pick Yui, because Kate players tend to be immersive trash bots from my experience
Ok,that made laugh 🤣

Yui for the sole fact that pulling off a Breakout-Sabo play is so satisfactory. Also, I just think she looks cooler.
1 -
Kate. Yui looks like Nea and Meg had a baby.
3 -
Honestly neither. Their perks are pretty bad.

I stan yui, but kate does just have way more skins

Kate best girl. Enough said.

Well, Yui has a rift challenges now, so you probably better get her first if it matters.
0 -
Neither. I would get them for free using Shards. Don't buy original characters save your money for licensed content.
Between the two Kate is better. She is prettier, sexier and her perks aren't junk. Dance With Me and WOO are actually decent perks. Yui's perks are all junk and her fashion sense is terrible. If Lucky Break ever gets buffed maybe it'd be nice. AMN is a joke perk more than anything and is usually something you only run if you're doing Killer Stun quests and even then it's not that useful.

I have both, also like both. Both have rather playful perks.
Yui is just a really cool lady and so I would take her, especially because you need her for the current rift.
It's just stupid when you play against the Doctor and she screams all the time... her voice sometimes has a nasty frequency.

Funny thing : Yui's perk "Any Means Necessary" is crazy good with Kate's perk "Windows of Opportunity" ;)
0 -
Personally, I’d buy both. As I like to have every character unlocked. But Yui is my favourite female survivor. So she’ll always get my pick.
1 -
I would recommend Kate for obvious reasons. She's the hottest survivor on the entire roster, and Windows of Opportunity is such a very underrated perk.

Kate because

Any means necessary is the only viable perk of both characters but as a runner yui just aesthetically fits the role imo.
That being said, windows of opportunity is the best perk to run with any means necessary and Kate is much quieter than yui so you won't need to run iron will.
So kate.

In terms of cosmetics I would go Kate all the way.
In terms of perks, I would go with Yui but its not as clear cut.
Kate has Windows of Opportunity which is good, but she also has Boil Over which is considered one of the worst. Dance With Me needs to be paired with at least Lithe and Quick and Quiet to shine.
Yui has Any Means Necessary, which can range from being useless to giving massive value. Breakout is great in a swf, less so in solo but still usable. Lucky Break needs to be paired with just Iron Will to shine imo.

I switched from being a Meg Main to being a Kate Main. She is pretty (i know it has nothing to with gameplay).
But yeah, both their Perks are pretty trash.
Kates Windows of Opportunity can be very helpful, Dance with me is only decent if combined with which strengthens it (Lithe, Quick and Quiet) and Boil Over is crap.
Yui's Any Mean's necessary is also decent and ironically a pretty good combo if combined with Kates "Windows of Opportunity". Lucky Break is imo a wasted Perk slot and Breakout is only decent if combined with a sabo build.
They 2 have quiet the similarities, but I'd go for Kate. She also has more nice skins. But I like both, but Kate is quite better imo, it comes down to what you prefer more because Kates look and sounds is what made me chose her (big words from someone who is more oriented to the male gender). As a bi, I'd actually date a real life Kate.

If you're only thinking about perks, go for Yui. As much as I love Kate, her perks are all useless garbage. Windows of opportunity is only good if you're new or if you're on an indoor map, and even then it has a really unnecessary cooldown. Dance with me is like lithe in that you don't have that much control over when you use it, and even when you use it to its full potential the benefit is rarely actually effective. Boil Over is just completely and utterly useless, there is never a situation where bringing the perk is worthwhile unless the killer is bad and doesn't move sideways to counter it.
On the other hand, Yui's perks are pretty decent. Lucky break is situational and only works when you have iron will or you're playing a relatively quiet survivor (Ace, Kate, Cheryl, Zarina) but when it works it is very worth it, The perk also requires you to be going against a killer that actually tracks using blood trails, so using it at low ranks wont get much use. Breakout is pretty similar to lucky break, it only really works with sabo/a toolbox and requires there to be enough distance between the killer and the nearest hook, but when it works the value is pretty big. Any Means necessary is also pretty situational but it's pretty easy to use and gives good value when you get use out of it.
If you plan on actually playing the survivors outside of getting their perks, I recommend Kate. She's the quietest female survivor in the game when injured, and has pretty good cosmetics for immersion. Yui is really loud and has no blendy cosmetics. In terms of style, both are pretty good choices. Kate's best cosmetics are the mountain climber set, the biker outfit, the ripped pants from her green rarity outfits, and the torsos from the 2006 britney outfit and the awful mangy pigtails outfit. Her default hair recolors are also pretty good and the stuff she's gotten from the rift is also really good if you've bought the rift pass consistently and don't feel like spending extra money. Her default recolors are also pretty good. Kate's outfits are more muted color wise. If you prefer neon outfits, then yui's got you covered. I don't play Yui a whole lot so I can't give a very detailed rundown of her cosmetics like I did kate's but she's got quite a few good outfits and her new rift stuff is also pretty nice.
Hope all that helped!

Kate. Hands down, Inner Strength and Windows are under valued

Yui simply because of Any Means Necessary. It's definitely not a meta perk, but it's a nice perk to have and gives you boldness points.
For me, being able to reset pallets is just awesome.
