MY Killer Tier List (S - D)
So i am quite curious to how many people will agree with some of the things of a Killer's strength and where to put them, be in Mind i play on Ps4 so things will vary slightly for PC Users
and Please Remember that this is MY Tier List and MY Opinion, you are more than freely able to disagree but i please ask that you do not personally attack me
please know from Left to Right Left being the strongest and Right the weakest
S - Nurse, Spirit
ow these 2 are more so actually tied for their placement as it can be argued who is stronger, but i personally believe Nurse is stronger mainly from her faster downing potential, despite being the slowest walking Killer in the game her Blinks heavily make up for that Nurse having one of the faster downing Potentials
Spirit is heavily insane especially if you know how to use your ears very well, though ears isn't everything with a Spirit as tracking is another important key in playing her, having a base 115 movement speed and an even faster Phasing mechanic it is quite difficult to get away from a very good Spirit
A - Oni, Freddy, Hag, Executioner, Huntress, Blight, Twins
Now for starters this should seem quite familiar, Oni is a power house of a Killer have amazing 1 shot potential, Merely have slapping 2 fully healed survivors you already have around 80% of your power the Blood Fury, and that gives Oni amazing Mobility and Map pressure, it will give him great Slug potential as well
Freddy is Freddy, we all already know why this little Sh talking mushrooms is up here, Freddy able to place down Snares and slow down the survivor by i believe 10% is phenomenal, also he is able to teleport to gens once his power is built up enough, He also has the other power Dream Pallets and while they are worse than Snares they are more so surprising to a Survivor than anything else
Hag is similar to Trapper but 100x better, she places traps but as soon as they get activated within close enough distance she can teleport to them, and if you are looking at the Trap itself you dont need to do the little animation and just able to swing, she can trap Palettes and Use it as a Decoy or as a Free Grab, Hag has great Pressure and Slug potential as well, her power though can be beaten by Urban Evasion and Flashlights
Executioner is probably one of the top few threatening Killers, he is able to use his Rights of the Damned to hit survivors through a reach of 10 Meters (Without Addons) and put down his Slug trail, if a survivor happens to run through it they are put into the Tormented state, they can be caged or if they are death hook, can be quickly Mori'd
Huntress is my top Main Killer, she is absolutely amazing and fun to play as imo, her Power being hatchets allows her to hit survivors across the entirety of the map, she can throw hatchets longer than any map size which is insane, she is a 110 Killer so without hatchets she is horrid to play and does no do well in chase but you shouldnt have to face that problem if you are Patient with your hatchets, Big Maps and Indoor maps can hurt a Huntress a bit like Lery's and Hawkins, where its almost impossible to 4k
Blight is another very mobility based Killer who is able to go quite far with his Lethal Rush, able to score a quick slap on the survivor if he manages to get to one, Unlike most Killers when Blight Lethal rushes his attack Window is far more wider than normal which explains how he gets most of his hits, Blight is another Killer that heavily suffers from indoor maps being hard to use his power in tight areas considering his large hitbox when slamming into objects to do another Lethal rush,
Lastly and surprisingly the Twins, Twins is a Killer that is not very well Liked by the community much like Deathslinger, Twins is actually very freakin strong, her little brother Victor allows Both Charlotte and Victor to camp area but Victor is more valuable from doing so, only way to not be noticed by Victor is crouch walking by him, When Victor pounces it is said to be the fastest thing in the game making it rather difficult to dodge, but if he misses free Baby Kick! However if he lands his pounce and you are healthy he will latch onto you for a while leaving you Oblivious and you cannot heal do gebs, escape, or open the exit gate, until you get him off you will suffer these but if you are being chased do not try to throw Victor off a you stand still and cannot so anything for a bit of time
B - Billy,Demogorgon, Deathslinger, Clown, Plague, Legion, GhostFace, LeatherFace
Billy is another pretty Obvious choice as to why i put him here, Billy uses his chainsaw to get amazing Mobility Value from open maps as Indoor maps completely destroy his power, Giving him insta down potential Billy is a relatively easy Killer to learn in the beginning but there is so much more to learn the higher you go, Billy's chainsaw has a heat gauge on it therefore you can hold it as long and have to give it some time to cool down before using again, but that doesn't mean he isn't amazing or fun to play
Demogorgon, he is actually one of the more difficult Killers to play imo, His Shredding ability is off the charts one of the more scarier things in this game going quite far up to 4 - 12 Meters depending on how Long you hold it, His Shred ability allows him to break Palettes as well, he is also one of those Killers where his best addons are Grey and Yellow which is honestly very easy to get, them being the Rat Liver and Mews Guts which both are easy to obtain, Demogorgon also has another ability where he can place down Portals and go from each side of the map pretty fast, It can get you some sneaky hits or grabs which are fun
Deathslinger is another Killer where he lacks in Map Pressure but is able to end chases pretty quickly, using his Harpoon Gun he is able to shoot survivors from Up to 18 meters away and pull them close, landing a successful hit will give them the mending state but it takes a while to reload without Addons, his Harpoon gun has such a small hit box that it can go through cracks in tiles which will lead to faster injury and/or downs
Clown, he received a well needed buff that actually is a whole lot more stronger than i originally expected, he has 2 bottle types, the Tonic and the Antidote, The Tonic will slow Only the survivor down by 10% while the Antidote will increase speed to both the survivor and Clown by 10%, a smart clown will use a Antidote in a chase for faster down potential, a Clown has only 4 bottles though so you will need to reload quite often, especially if you are using the Bottles alot, With the Antidote bottles it allows Clown to get across the map quicker giving him more mobility potential
Plague is a Killer i couldn't get into, but that doesnt mean i put no time into her, Plague has the Vile Purge where she can sicken survivors and make Gens and everything like that be contagious as well, if she Vomits on a survivor eventually they will go into the broken state and eventually vomit consistently, however if they do decide to cleanse that gives Plague the ability to make her Purge Corrupted, and you start off with one free pool corrupted already, her Corrupted Purge can injure survivors from a good distance away using her Corrupt but it disables her ability to sicken for 60 seconds
Now the most controversial Killer, Legion, a lot of players hate this Killer no surprise, Legion is absolutely amazing with injuring multiple Survivors applying major pressure, every Feral frenzy hit puts them into the mending state, Legion has great map control everytime he gets that 1st Feral hit, the Killer Instinct will pop on any non hit survivor showing their location, Legion is able to hop over Palettes and Windows in his feral frenzy very quickly to score a quick hit
GhostFace is a pretty Fun Killer with his quick teabagging potential, Ghostface is able to go into his Night Shroud ability to stalk and Mark survivors who will be insta down for the next minute or so, giving Ghostface a lot of time, though if he is leaning he marks you faster than if he isnt leaning, but you can pull him out of his power by staring at him with the middle of your screen pointed at him, only thing that sucks is most suvivors have a hard time pulling that off
Leatherface is actually a really fun Killer, use to be one of the worsts but he made his way up to the B tier, Leatherface is able to down multiple survivors but if he is given the oppurtunity which should never happen is a 4 ma down from one chainsaw sweep, Leatherface is ablo able to control how many sweeps he does which makes chases more easier for him, he can use his chainsaw to break pallets and walls relatively easy but Just like Billy his chainsaw has a cooldown as well so yo cant forever hold it to be that old toxic face campin Bubba lmao
C - Pig, Myers, Doctor
Why i Put Pig here is she has probably one of the most counterable powers in the game, her Head traps are not RNG based as most think it is, the game before hand has random numbers put to Jigsaw boxes dedicated to the head trap, only specific ones will get it off, so you have a 25% chance of getting it correct but that number goes up more and more if you fail the jigsaw boxes, Pig also has another power, her Crouch, Crouching allows her to do her ambush attack which let out a roar before she leaps toward the survivor pretty quickly and if you run the perk Save the Best for Last hitting the survivor with an Ambush attack will ignore the Save The Best for Last and not lose or gain any tokens
Myers is actually a very fun Killer, he starts off the game being slow as hell and with no Lunge at all, it would take 5 seconds fully to get from tier 1 to tier 2 Evil Within, upon getting to Evil Within tier 3 however you are insta down for 60 seconds, you break and vault faster, your lung is extremely long as well being great downing potential, his terror Radius becomes larger as well giving the survivors a heads up upon your arrival though
Doctor imo is not fun to go against at all, he has the Therapy Shock which does allow him to instantly hear any screams of possible survivors near him or gives him the info that no one is around, when he is chasing though he is able to give you a shock which renders you useless for 2.5 seconds of being unable to do anything, Doctor has high pressure potential with his Shock therapy and will almost always find a hiding survivor
D - Trapper, Wraith
Now Trappe is here because he has horrible map control, his power being the traps are always scattered around the map and depending on the map size will also vary how many traps spawn around the map, and he has to strategically use these traps for possible catchings, sometimes he will be able to and sometimes not, Trapper has one of the more difficult potential of pressure, the best thing he can do is Replace traps but it can sometimes move the trap
and finally Wraith, Wraith's power allows him to go invisible, with his recent buff and coming on buff next week this is will he will reside for Now, Wraith goes cloaked and he moves a little faster but he cannot attack whatsoever, when he comes out of cloak though he moves pretty quickly able to catch up to the survivor and land a clean hit, but Wraith is one of those Killers where the Hit and run play helps him the most, he is able to sneak up on survivors but open maps like Blood Lodge will completely destroy him, he is in my opinion the weakest Killer in Dead By Daylight
that's all of them! Thanks for reading and comment if you agree or disagree ^^

Interesting Tier List. Here is mine:
2 -
The trickster is to high up
11 -
lmfao Trickster F? i wouldnt call him that horrible, he surely is better than a small portion of KIllers
0 -
I disagree. Playing him on the PTB was miserable. In my opinion he is, without a doubt, the weakest killer in the game.
0 -
Also realize that was the PTB and he was given a few buffs and even more buffs coming in do time, i didnt put him in my tierlist cause i havent played him yet
0 -
Agreed, but I was too lazy to add anything below F Tier.
Getting sacrificed by him is, as your name suggests, the "worst death"
0 -
You're really underestimating Doctor. And overestimating Pig a bit. Doc is a really solid killer. He's got good tracking, some slowdown, and anti-loop that's pretty powerful. His anti-loop is better than Clown's, since he can deny pallets. You have to REALLY throw early against Doc. You do against Clown too, but not to the same extent.
1 -
Most definitely i am underestimating then, but i also have less play time in both of those Killers so that also plays a good factor into their positioning
0 -
though as alos said above i play on PS4 and things will vary
0 -
If u can't play as Billy better than as Bubba yourself, pls don't put Billy above Bubba
0 -
i believe you missed the entire point of the tier list
0 -
As a Trapper main I disagree that he's the second worst killer in the game. You're not supposed to pressure the whole map as Trapper, it's impossible. You have to lock down a smaller area of the map and chip away at survivors resources while maintaining pressure in that one area. It doesn't even have to be a 3 gen, but splitting a map in half is his map control.
But yeah, if you play him like an M1 killer and just put traps down randomly, he'll be very hard to do well with. If you plan ahead, he's much scarier. That being said, he needs some tweaks (bag addon as his baseline kit being one of them) to really make him consistent, but I'd put him as a low B or high C at worst.
1 -
A veteran Billy is much better than Bubba. Billy has chase potential, just like Bubba, but he has map pressure and that can be the difference between a victory and a defeat.
0 -
Wraith is way too low on yours IMO. After his buffs, he's much stronger now, easily B IMO. Here's mine anyway.
0 -
Are u the veteran? I used to main Billy for hundreds of hours and I still think even before nerf he is worse than current Bubba
0 -
Would u stop the veteran Billy myth pls? I mained Billy alot and he's not better than Bubba now
0 -
No, I am not. I am talking about my experience as a survivor and the countless Billys and Bubbas I've played against.
And if you think Bubba is better than Billy, that is fine. I respect your opinion.
0 -
I mean, it's just an opinion, calm down lol.
0 -
Deathslinger, Michael, Demogorgon, Pyramid Head, Legion and Trickster are S tier. The rest are F. 🙊
1 -
Again all opinions are welcomed and respected whether we agree or disagree
0 -
Blight lower than Billy and Pyramid? Freddy too?
But especially Billy. That's an odd pick IMO.
0 -
😙😙😙

In order to effectively tell how good or bad a Killer is you must spend a good few hours playing as and against them, again i believe you do not see the actual case of a Tier list
0 -
imo Billy isn't as strong as he use to be, Blight is very strong but extremely difficult to play but he is very fun when you get the gist of thing, 4k'd with him on Lery's during stream
0 -
Here's mine, which is in relation to my personal performance and enjoyment. It goes against the grain, but here it is:
2 -
Oni is way too high in your tier list. Gen rush and drop every pallet super early so Oni can't start gaining blood. He'll lose 3-4 generators before his first Blood Fury against high level SWF teams.
He really needs to be in the same tier as Myers or slightly higher. Oni might be alright against bad players, but if his power drops off the better the players are he can't be justified as a high position.
1 -
Legion Main here.
Putting Legion in B is extremely generous, and based on how this list is set up, I'd average him at C. Larger maps and spread out survivors rob him of his power. He can't use his power for chase, since he can't use it to down or hook, so he's a standard m1 Killer when chase matters most. He also loses power when using m1, so his powers availability is variable at any given time. While he can use his power to get in a general area of a survivor, they always get 4 seconds to make distance in account of his fatigue. Legions power is so littered with penalties, he essentially spends half the game just trying to mitigate them or work around them, which severely hampers his performance.
There are maps and scenarios where Legion can perform at a B tier, but those are the exception, not the rule. In more traditional lists, he's often a D tier that can jump to C with the scenario benefits him. In this list, though, he a solid C.

Never thought I'd see the day Twins is rated higher than Doctor.
0 -
You aren't allowed to have your own opinion in DBD
2 -
Finally someone who knows what they're talking about and doesn't put the Twins in C or D tier because they don't like them.

Quote: "Rights of the Damned to hit survivors through a reach of 10 Meters (Without Addons)"
The attack is called "Punishment Of The Damned" and the default range is 8 meters.
0 -
i knew something was wrong
0 -
Ive played about a goos 50hrs of Twin and gone against really good Twins and they are extremely strong if played well but the same thing can be said about all of the Killers
0 -
S: Nurse, Spirit
A: Freddy, Hag, Oni, Huntress, Pyramid Head
B: Doctor, Billy, Bubba, Wraith (after buff), Twins, Deathslinger,
C: Ghostface, Plague, Demogorgon, Legion
D: Clown, Pig, Myers
Worst: Blight, Trapper and probably Trickster

Here's my take on the tier list:
0 -
only one i really see myself disagreeing with you is for your placement of Blight, other than that i see this pretty well
1 -
I can see myself agreeing with this, if anything after i do some Gameplay on the New Killer i will guarentee his placement but for now i see Trickster mid B tier
1 -
Despite my horrible aim Trickster looks like a killer I could really have fun with, and since people thought Twins were weak I'm not sure if that'll be the outcome of Trickster. My best guess for him is a low C-tier at the moment, but we'll see how it goes next week.
0 -
Yeah agreed, when he dos come out i will be making another Post of where i think i'd put him but firstly when he comes out gotta stream on Twitch first lmao
1 -
I play on console where Blight is a lot worse. He is strong on PC yes.
0 -
The first few lines of my Post is i play on PS4 , i use to be a Blight main
0 -
Some if this is fair, but your focus tends to be on mobility and range (hence all high mobility and range killers are high on your list)
I have to hard disagree on Doctor tbh. Static Blast has the potential to hit most of the maps and have constant information flow. So he doesn't waste chases looking for people. He can deny loops and actions, render survivors essentially useless in Tier 3 until they snap out of it. He is perk reliant, but he is a solid B+. The only thing that holds him back is that that he can't navigate the map as other killers. But Corrupt Intervention and Thrilling Tremors can patch that problem with Static Blast by locking survivors out, again he gets information on which gens are locked.
My current build is nothing special, but I've been 3k on most maps. (Corrupt Intervention, Whispers, BBQ, PGTW). There's information perks and slowdown perks which is how Doctor functions best.
Also he has up there in the kill ratio for high ranks along with Freddy.
0 -
Actually I found it and he's number 2 in kills in red ranks just below Freddy and is number 4 in kills in all ranks.
There's only a 1.43% difference in kill rates between Freddy and Doctor.
0 -
And a Veteran Billy has far more map pressure than a Bubba no matter the odds
