Which killer do you rarely play but when you do you have a lot of fun?

Mine is Huntress. I have a hard time with ranged killers so I tend to avoid them.

I don't play her often but when I do she is a ton of fun! It always takes me 3-5 matches to get a feel for her hatches again but once I am warmed up she feels great to play ^^

She also has some fantastic cosmetics. I love her bear mask!

    I think I have to go with my boy Wraith. So simple but with a variety of addons, speed, and element of stealth.


    My all time favourite however... is PRE-overheat pre-roaring Billy. My heart still aches.

    Spirit and Basement Bubba

    Yah I miss old Billy too. I hardly played him but as a survivor I loved going against him.

    I do enjoy his chase music now tho!

    Who doesn't love playing some basement Bubba :D

    Not so guilty pleasure ^^

    Oni before the cosmetic glitch patch, and Basement Trapper.

    Trapper's literally a bottom tier killer so I don't even feel bad about ending a game one minute in because someone was unlucky enough to be painted by Territorial Imperative.

    For me its the Twins; not spectacular with them (slowly getting better), but I really enjoy running around as Victor and leaping at Survivors. Second would be Huntress; I don't play her a lot compared to others, but I'm improving slowly and overall enjoy her playstyle.

    I rotate between all Killers, they all have strengths and weaknesses.

    Actually, I blame DBD entirely for the soft spot I've developed for him. The memes have made me love him.

    @lauraa Trapper is my go to killer ^^ Him or Scarred Hand Hag!

    I really enjoy trap killers.

    I mean... I don't usually try for basement Trapper... but sometimes it just happens. Someone gets caught in a trap near basement and next thing I know everyone is down there. Survivors make it too easy sometimes.

  • FancyMrB
    FancyMrB Member Posts: 1,250

    Another killer I forget about!

    I find his bottles a little tricky because they are so light and I can't aim very well with them, but he is a fun guy to play! (Plus I love his elephant cosmetic ^^).

  • FancyMrB
    FancyMrB Member Posts: 1,250

    I try my best to play all of them as well but I get discouraged with the ranged ones ^^" I really have to put time into them to find them fun.

    Last night I said F it I will play huntress even tho I know I will flop. 3 games in and I was starting to get 2k ^^ Felt good and I was having fun.

    Rotating sides/ killers keeps this game fresh.

    Ghostface, I dunno why, but everytime I play him I seem to have fun with him.

    Legion, when his daily pops up I say "dear lord" and when i'm doing im saying i need to play him more.

    Hill Billy, I've never really played him before his rework, but have played him after the rework and he's a lot of fun imo. I still don't understand why so many saying he's a lot worse than before. Only time I overheat is when I intentionally spam his chainsaw, and few of his add ons are trash.

    Ghost Face. I enjoy teabagging the teabagger after catching the person. Its really satisfying lol.

  • FancyMrB
    FancyMrB Member Posts: 1,250

    I love GF!

    I think he is the killer I goof off on most ^^" but dancing with survivors is a fun time.

    Faceghost. I'm like one of three people on the face of the planet who actually recognizes that leaning is a thing that exists. Most of my downs are marked stabs for that very reason.

  • danielmaster87

    Probably Pyramid Head. It feels good to hit his ranged attack.

  • DBD78
    DBD78 Member Posts: 3,469

    Twins, Hag and Trapper. It's the only killers I do play nowdays, but since I almost only play survivor it is rare seeing me play them 😀

    We need another new trapping killer plus the Triplets!

  • FancyMrB
    FancyMrB Member Posts: 1,250

    Trap killers are best killer imo. Something satisfying about playing Trapper, Hagatha, and Piggy ^^

    I have started playing Twins and really enjoy them! They are a staple in my rotation of killers.

    Doctor. Put on both iris and just go around zapping people for the heck of it.

  • FancyMrB
    FancyMrB Member Posts: 1,250

    That is what I do for those 'make survivors scream 50 times' challenges hahaha.

  • FancyMrB
    FancyMrB Member Posts: 1,250

    I need to give him more of a chance... I have only played three or four times.

    I love the Trickster as a character but I am really bad at getting his blades to land and the one time I used showstopper I had no idea what was happening XD I didn't realize it was a timed thing to trigger so I panic and blades were going everywhere except into survivors.

  • chargernick85

    Wraith and Slinger. Can't seem to get BBQ on them to add them to a more permanent rotation but when I get rituals (get slingers a lot) they are so fun. Slinger is hard to play for me this patch get freezes/drops a lot just by aiming his gun. Last but not least Clown. This guy is fuking hella fun to me I love making them scream and move slow (when you know he works).

  • HollowsGrief

    Spirit. I rarely play her but she is pretty fun to play as.

  • M1MASTER
    M1MASTER Member Posts: 352

    The biggest problem of the overheat comes from its poor interaction with the Engravings and steering add-ons which naturally tend to let you gain more heat (try playing double Engravings for example and tell me overheat doesn't matter).

    Also, good survivors are not gonna get chainsawed/curved for free on your first try unless they really misplay or you catch them in a dead zone.

    It's just a ######### mechanic that has no reason to exist.

    blight I find him more fun to play since he's sorta playable with a controller now

  • MrDardon
    MrDardon Member Posts: 4,039

    Billy. He used to be my Main in 2016 till Myers came out. Sometimes played him afterwards and sometimes now as well. He is harder than Bubba so I prefer Billy. Bubba is to easy for his strength in my opinion.

  • MrDardon
    MrDardon Member Posts: 4,039

    You are used to this version if you didn't play him before, that's why you don't understand. I played old basekit Billy and also don't understand. He isn't any different regarding his basekit, and like you said, you rarely overheat when playing serious.

    People relied on old Crack Billy and Instasaw Billy. They lost those Add-ons and apparently Billy is now ruined because of it.

    I am new, so you know, not exactly a seasoned veteran. But I spent $20 dollars on the game to get Freddy, Pyramid Head, and Pig. I am saving the last one for Leatherface if I can't farm the shards in time to buy his perk, but my progress is very good. So I might go for Nemesis instead. Anyways, I digress, since I paid money for them, I rarely play ANY base killer. I did when testing the waters to see if the game was fun enough to warrant the microtransactions. So I experienced them all for a few games and Hag is the only one I play as much as the licensed killers. However, Huntress is amazing. I was thinking about Deathslinger for my first unpaid killer, or maybe even Plague. Possibly Trickster. But Huntress makes it so that I can ignore all of those and just play her when I feel like range.


    So while I doubt I will magically become a Huntress main, I equally doubt that she will never get used again. I feel she is the PERFECT mood permitting killer.

  • M1MASTER
    M1MASTER Member Posts: 352

    No, people relied on not having to go against bad survivors to actually win with him. Even old base kit Billy got bullied against survivors who use more than 1 brain cell and know how to play against him.

    There are just many killers who are easier and better nowadays, so why bother with Billy? His animations are also bugged, but apparently we don't take those into account.

  • Purgatorian
    Purgatorian Member Posts: 1,146

    I have to say clown. Using his longer intoxicating and more hindered adds on let's me have fun. Not just throwing them at survivors though, when they know you have these sometimes loops can be closed off as they don't want to run through the gas.

    Couldn't make him my main or anything though, just a killer to play when I fancy a change. I never use his antidote gas though, takes too long to trigger.

    Hmm I have not played much killer but I’m in training mode. Killers I’ve gotten into are the legion female Julie and Susie,ghostface,oni,the spirit,trapper. I’m thinking of playing some blight and twins. I don’t think I will do pig leather face pyramid plague clown or deathslinger I do like huntress and trickster but I think that the weapons aim should be adjusted cause to hold and aim is hard I feel auto aim is useful

  • MrDardon
    MrDardon Member Posts: 4,039

    I don't have an issue with his animations and like I said, I played old Billy a lot so no, I do not understand. And yeah, might be that some Killers are easier for a higher reward, but that's bad design. Spirit, Bubba, Freddy... all of them are quite brainless but get huge rewards where actually skillful Killers suffer for no reason. It's probably a "me" thing, but I prefer playing harder stuff rather than getting wins handed to me and that's also why I prefer Billy over Bubba, because he requries more skill.

  • M1MASTER
    M1MASTER Member Posts: 352

    Yeah but realistically you're not getting as much rewarded anymore for playing Billy, and the devs are adding more bad maps for him like the new RE one.

    Older killers started getting buffed and new ones were released while Billy only received huge nerfs and more bugs when all he really needed was nerfing his add-ons a bit and not let them stack.

    I love hag to death I just don't find playing her very challenging so she's left on the back burner a lot of the time.

  • Laluzi
    Laluzi Member Posts: 6,226

    Trapper. I don't play him often, but good lord is there something uniquely satisfying towards watching a survivor run right towards the wrong vault point and... snick.

    I played nothing but Hag when I first started ^^ I love her mori, her ability, she is just a cool character. She is on my back burner now too but I still player from time to time. You are right that she is one of the more easy killers. I kind of hope she gets a rework soon ^^

  • FancyMrB
    FancyMrB Member Posts: 1,250

    Hahaha that is why Trapper is my go to killer. That sweet satisfying feel of a well placed trap that has been sprung. Music to my ears.
