Would you suggest to a beginner killer to buy Pyramid Head?

I highly recommend him as a killer, but just note you'll only really get to play with his base powers as his addons are straight up TRASH. But yea he's a fine killer and there's not too much nuance to his abilities or how to play him. He will teach you patience too and baiting with powers. Not a bad choice at all.

Nope, he's very tricky to play and has bad perks. If you feel up to the challenge you can still get him, but for a beginner killer, I'd recommend either Doctor, Bubba (Cannibal), Legion or Wraith. All four of these killers are easier to play than most, are (mostly) strong and rewarding, and some in particular like Bubba and Legion have good perks.

Probably not. He's not exactly a "normal" killer and definitely changes some core mechanics, such as hooks. He requires a different play style than pretty much all the rest of the cast.

The best killers to begin with are gonna be ones with simple and straight forward powers, typically M1 killers like trapper, wraith, meyers, etc. In all fairness they aren't quite as strong as others, but for learning the basics, you're better off sticking to a basic killer.

That being said, if you DO want to play a more complex killer you certainly can, and if that's the case I'd highly recommend checking out some quick guides on youtube. If you need any suggestions, Otzdarva is a very well rounded killer main with basic AND in depth guides on every killer in the game as well as great perk builds to use with each

I’m assuming you’ve also tried the base game killers Huntress, Trapper, Wraith and Hillbilly. If not you may want to experiment with them to get a sense of what kind of playstyle you like. In terms of style Pyramid Head is most similar to Huntress out of those four. They both have a ranged attack that can allow them to hit a survivor from across a pallet or vault but otherwise don’t have a way to get around the map quickly. Huntress’ attack has better range and is a bit easier to land than Pyramid Head’s, but she move more slowly and Pyramid Head has some built in tracking with his Trails and can get some time savings with Cages.

Spirit is most similar to Wraith of those four. They both have stealth abilities and move faster while invisible. Wraith is a bit easier to play than Spirit since you can still see everything normally while phased out, but he can’t instantly decloak to attack like Spirit does so he uses his stealth and speed to get close, decloaks and then hopefully can get in a very short chase from there. (A standard tactic is run in front of a survivor to block them, decloak and chase and hopefully you’ve thrown them off their path toward a pallet or whatever.)

If you’re having trouble finding survivors as a beginner because they’re stealthy then Doctor is a good choice, he has the best tracking in the game. It’s difficult to stay hidden from Doctor so you’re pretty much always active with him. He only has normal movement speed so you want to be strategic about moving around the map, but in a chase his ability can make it so survivors are able to vault or drop a pallet so he’s reasonably good at making it harder for the survivor to extend the chase too much.

If what you like about Spirit is moving really quickly around the map then Hillbilly, Blight, or Freddy all have great map mobility. Hillbilly can chainsaw sprint at hyperspeed in a mostly straight path all the way across the map. Blight doesn’t have the instant down Hillbilly does but moves just about as fast as Hillbilly and can bounce off obstacles and walls to do sharp turns so his map mobility is maybe the best in he game. And Freddy can teleport to any generator with a not too long cooldown, so he can get around the map strategically very quickly to keep pressure up all across it. (Demogorgon also can teleport around but I’m not sure if he’s still for sale still.)

I left DbD before learning much of anything about it, and came back when Pyramid Head was announced. He was the first Killer I tried to main.

I hated it.

I then looked through the Killer roster and, based on visuals, picked up Legion. That was MUCH smoother, and put me in the right mindset to learn the game properly. As such, I always recommend Legion as a Killer for people learning the game. Legion requires the player to learn the fundamentals, and their power doesn't really get in the way of this. Also, Legions power is great for learning the fundamentals AND how you use Killer powers to work around the basic mechanics of the game. When using Legions power, you also get a very clear idea of how Survivors will often react when actively avoiding you at a distance, which is something you can keep in mind with all Killers. Legions weaknesses are also kind of unique in that they are actually the same weaknesses that all Killers have, but amplified dramatically. This lets a learning Killer REALLY see these issues and forces them to come head-to-head with them, making them learn to deal with them as such. Also, Discordance is a pretty solid Intel perk that works well on many other Killers, so learning to use it is a big bonus.

Pyramid Head doesn't really have this as well, because his power specifically makes Survivors act in ways that are very different than how they would with any other Killer. Similar to Nurse, Survivors adopt strategies that are specific to that Killer, which can lead to assumptions of Survivor strategies that simply aren't true. Pyramid Heads perks are iffy at best, often situational, and even more often outright kinda useless.

At the end of the day, it's up to the player if they want to learn on Pyramid Head. My personal suggestion is not to, but it's not against the law to do so. More power to you and whoever you pick.

I would suggest to not play killer at all during the current state of the game.
