Not necessarily to master, but to just jump in and be able to do at least reasonably well.

    Myers is easy.

    Wraith

    Wraith has really good chase potentially, and can pressure the map with less skill than something like a spirit.

    Wraith

    Wraith to me is probably the best killer for beginners

    Freddy

    Freddy with fake pallets hardly requires strategy and you still catch survivors off-guard pretty often. He may not be as strong as before but he's still a very easy to use killer, with low risk - high reward.

    Spirit requires a good understanding of her power and the game mechanics in general, so definitely not her. Cannibal, like Freddy, isn't too hard either, but mistakes are heavily punished if you don't know what you're doing.

    Finally, Wraith is the easiest out of them all, and while he is way better than what he used to be, he's still a low-tier killer who'll struggle at downing survivors, if you're not using good perks or add-ons to help you. Still, really easy to play and a close second to Freddy with pallets, imo.

    Hag definitively. She's lethal at lower rank and very easy to play. you basically just set traps at crossroads and wait for someone to step in it.

    Static Blast. Find survivors. Off you go.

    Pallet Freddy is the most no brain killer in the game. Chase, spam pallets, teleport

    Wraith

    Wraith is perfect for beginners. He has a power that doesn't even require 1 hour to understand and is also fun to play due to his speed

    Myers and Trickster are about at straightforward as they come.

    Cannibal

    It’s a tough call for me between Wraith and Leatherface, but I went with Leatherface. Really there’s not much to understand about his ability, you rev the chainsaw up and try and hit a survivor. You tap the power button to keep swinging but that takes only a couple tries to see the timing. There’s nothing else special to worry about.

    Wraith is simple too mechanically. I think the reason I put him slightly lower is just because it can be pretty hard at first getting hits coming out of cloak. Survivors normally run straight for a loop while you’re decloaking so if you’re a beginner it could be frustrating not getting a hit before they vault or pallet drop and even when you hit it’s just a basic attack injury. Whereas with Leatherface they run, but with your chainsaw you move faster than normal so you can possibly catch up and hit them, and if you do it’s an instant down, or maybe an instant pallet destruction.

    They’re both pretty new player friendly though.
