Killer's should have powers that fit their character
I know that is an unpopular opinion but if you look at the last 3 killers, Trickster, Twins, and Blight, they have some really boring and uninspired powers and there is so much they could have done with these characters powers that could have been unique and interesting.
Blight is a chemist that sought to enhance humanity through the use of his compounds, only to become a victim of his ambitions. His power could have involved injecting himself for unique abilities but you constantly have to be getting more serum and using it because he would be dependent on it
The Twins are a pair of conjoined twins from 17th century France that formed a strong emotional bond from the horrors they faced. Charlotte could become enraged when victor is destroyed and enter a powered state that makes her a terrifying and deadly force. Victor should be more unrelenting by pinning down survivors to the ground giving Charlotte time to pick them up.
The Trickster is a kpop Idol that thrives off attention and is energized by the screams of his victims. He could be a anti stalk killer that gets more powerful by the attention of survivors and the pain he inflicts on them.
Really BHVR has everything to make some unique powers that stand out with these characters but it just seems like they make the powers first and then put it on a character.

The Doctor should get medical tools to attack people with. The Clown should get a clown car and throw pies at people. The Demogorgon should have Survivors roll for initiative.

I think Twins and Blight powers fit quite well tbh. Blight injects himself with some weird concoction that makes him smash into things like a lunatic. Twins you literally control both “twins,” though I think that victor pinning survivors is a cool idea albeit too powerful. I agree trickster’s power doesn’t fit at all though. He’s just a terribly designed killer in general imho.

Blights power is boring? Nah its probably one of the most fun powers in recent chapters

At the time, I was hoping you would be able to change the blights power(like you change a survivors item) to different "serums" all with unique effects but I'm happy with current blight

Hag should be able to eat the survivors as part of her base kit.

Not saying Blight power is unfun or uncreative (Ping Pong part)
But seriously, I was really hope Blight would have power that have something to do with plants.

Make it base kit

I think Blight's power is great conceptually imo. Despite coming from the same being, Talbot Grimes and The Blight are two incredibly different people. The Blight is a direct manifestation of Talbot's addiction to his own ambition, the result of him being willing to turn himself into a frenzied monstrosity (which is really all we've ever been shown of the pustula serum's effects) and participate in the Entity's Trials in exchange for more serum. However, despite his monstrous form, he's ultimately still a normal human that has not been affected by the Entity in any physical capacity. It makes sense that his capabilities while completely under complete control of the pustula serum would simply be to go into a mad frenzy while still retaining his intelligence and cognitive ability. It's a direct physical display of the lengths he's willing to go to satisfy his own ambition; he's ironically willing to give up his humanity and turn himself into an almost feral beast hunting down his fellow man in exchange for what he perceives to be the key to advancing humanity.
The Twins' power fits their bond perfectly as well imo. They both serve as two separate components (Charlotte as a sentry and Victor as a scout) of a larger hunter, emphasizing how they work in tandem to pursue their prey.
I half-agree with The Trickster's power being unfitting, but I feel like the situation here is reversed. Ji-Woon's power is fine, as he would perform knife tricks both as a child for his father's restaurant and on-stage for thousands of adoring fans. However, the name "The Trickster" just innately doesn't suit the power. No matter what lore explanation is given, people are going to expect a Killer called "The Trickster" to involve deceiving other players. "The Idol" or "The Entertainer" would suit him far better imo. Additionally, if they really wanted to tie his name into his lore more than his power, simply "The Dokkaebi" would also work, since his stage name is directly inspired by the dokkaebis of Korean folklore.

In that case I want deathslinger to carry around a revolver and kill the survivors with one shot

That would make them one-dimentional characters, making them more boring and feel less alive.

Now I really want to see the Clown driving a clown car. Thanks a lot >:(

Clown should have gotten this as a map traversal power instead of those new bottles!

People keeping having the same misconception on Blight's power. Having the serum being tied already with his power, He is essentially an unrelenting beast, which clarifies more how he carelessly slams into obstacles trying to reach his prey.
