Strengths of the lower tiers

We have a total of 26 playable killers right now. Each with different abilities and playstyles.

The cost of such variety does mean that not every killer can face the trails with the same efficiency.

But even if some killers are lacking overall they do have some tricks up their sleeves.

For example Legions ability to find survivors means that if they want to always can have a survivor out of the game by hook 4-5 without having to ignore the others and specifically chase that one survivor.

What are for you some unappreciated upsides of the lower spectrum of the roster?

    Depending on how uncommon they are to play, encountering a great player's low tier as survivor might confuse you as you haven't played against them in a while leading to the killer having a knowledge advantage

    i.e. in Super Smash Bros. Little Mac is universally known as Low Tier since he has no air options so I don't see people playing as him, so when I do I sometimes lose as I forget how fast and powerful he is on the ground.

    Stuff like that happens when I forget how good Doctor's shocks are in a chase, forget where common traps are placed, how long Bubba sweeps his chainsaw, I forget Stealth killer exist so I'm extremely easy to get a first hit on if Myers or Peppa Pig or Ghost Face or Wraith are the killer, stuff like that I forget after not facing these killers in a long while.

    Clown can shut down loops and chases short, like brutally short, if you are a bit experienced with him, and this seems to hit a lot of survivors off-guard. Clown suffers from a lack of map pressure and, oddly enough, movement issues, even though one of his powers directly increases his speed. But the Antidote is too awkward to use and too short of effect, to offer any real map traversal, its main purpose is to shut down strong loops, when you can pull off the double whammy.

    Trickster can annoy people to death irl.

    Myers' Tier 3 vault speed can really come in clutch, especially stacked with Bamboozle or Fire Up.

    Ghostface can teabag back. He should be S Tier for this reason alone.

    Tricksters blades can be unavoidable in certain places, with how rare it is to find a Trickster player I still have trouble looping him and dodging his blades. However he is very dependent on the map and you need some form of slowdown or your going to get stomped.
