Strongest Killer lore-wise
What do you think is the most powerful killer according to the lore not considering the licensed killers? Considering them too? How powerful is the new killer The Dredge?

Oni could easily 1v1 any of the original cast except for Dredge who is actually a god.

Original: Oni
Licensed: Pyramid Head

With guest killers? Probably Pinhead or Pyramid Head
Without guest killers? Probably Dredge or Oni

Onryos are really powerful so Spirit is one of the best.

Nurse...she could just blink inside of any other killer and destroy them.

Lore wise it'd be Pyramid Head. He literally forced his way into the Entity's realm to punish it and until it repents it will continue to be punished, food stolen (cages) and its flesh literally torn into (rights of judgement)

I like to think the reason we don't have a Blighted Oni skin is because he's too powerful for the Blight to capture

I dont think thats the case
Since he did manage to capture Nemesis at one point, and don't even get me started on Pyramid Head..

As cool as that is I don't think Blighted Nemesis/Blighted Pyramid Head are 'canonical' so to speak

As an Onryo that even the Entity had trouble getting under control, Spirit is likely the most powerful of the original killers, at least until the Dredge - the Dredge is the first OG killer we've had that's more a force of nature than it is a human with powers, and that likely puts it in its own weight class (though we might need a little more lore to confirm that, as we haven't really seen what the Dredge can do, just how it was created.)
When you get into the licenses, though, you get some real powerhouses who are very hard to compare. The title of strongest is probably a toss-up between the two P-Heads; they're both interdimensional beings, an archon of Hell and an avatar of penance respectively, both of which are strong enough to be voluntary visitors to the realm rather than leashed by it and to call forth their own dimension within the Entity's realm and steal survivors from it. Myers, Sadako, and Freddy don't compete on the same level, but they're all insanely difficult if not impossible to kill and freakishly lethal in their own rights.

I'd argue Dredge is the strongest, even with the Licensed. There is dispute when it comes to PH but it's also a lot of speculation. The triangle man is canonically just a manifestation that was ultimately defeated by some guy who murdered his wife.
Pinhead is an odd one. I wouldn't quite know where to put him. The Cenobite got bodied quite easily the moment something that matched their power turned against them.
Nemesis is the strongest physically among the whole cast, but nothing supernatural about him beyond virus silliness.
Dredge only because it's pretty much the DBD super monster, where all super monsters are bound to the same duty as some random KPOP serial killer.

The most killer - Definitely it's Mr Putin the butcherer
0 -
Mr. Puddles Clown.

Strongest as in raw brute force strength? probably Trapper or Oni, strongest as in tough as nails, enduring and unsubordinated? Trapper.
0 -
isn't Myers meant to be evil incarnate? I'd say he's at the very least on the A list.
1 -
I'm not sure where you get that pyramid head forced his way in from or that he's there to punish the entity, since the base lore says he and the entity had an unspoken agreement.

Shape, Onryo, and Executioner.
Shape may not be the strongest physically, but he is the only Killer that can kill Survivors under his own will (tombstone add-on) without needing permission (mori) to do so. Shape is also the only Killer that actively resists the Entity's control as well as feeds off of it's power against the Entity's will. Tier 1 Evil Within is legit just the Shape and his own strength without any help from the Entity. EW 2 is when the Shape only has a taste of the Entity's power taken out of Survivors. EW 3 on the other hand is when the Shape is actually making full use of the Entity's power, and Shape can't sustain that power due to the Entity taking it away from him. The Shape can even still keep hold of that power out of shear will with another add-on.
The Shape is the ONLY Killer able to not only fight against the Entity's will but act under his own will instead.
Onryo is 2nd due to being able to kill under her own power. She doesn't really accept much power from the Entity, but can't resist the Entity either as the Entity is heavily keeping Onryo in check by making it hard for her to kill based on her own rules.
Id make Executioner 3rd most powerful from PH being able to slightly overcome the rules set by the Entity in being able to sacrifice or kill Survivors in his way. PH is still fully bound by the Entity though and still has to follow the same rule of 3 for hooks/cages.
In physical strength though, Id have to say Hillbilly.
Hillbilly not only has great physical strength and high speed, his perks shows that Billy doesn't give 1 ######### about being hit either. He straight up is Rocky in being a punching powerhouse who can take a beating and never stops going forward.

Prolly oni hes got the muscles, training, and discipline
dredge seems like a weaker cosmic type horror that isn't able to do too much but still has influence

Urgh, should have known it was one of Pixel Bush's own unofficial fan take on the lore.
I really wish people would stop treating his takes and rewrites on the lore as canon when they're not.
0 -
Licensed would be Freddy he can make with ur dreams whatever he wish eventually u will fall in his hands.
Non licensed I would say Dredge and the second would be Carmina (She can do whatever she wish with Ink and that ink actually hurts)
Definetely the strongest lore wise is Freddy.

Myers since he's so evil even the entity can't stop him from murdering survivors without playing by the rules

First killing I saw in the soldiers of fortune game in 2001
