Killer tier list going into the anniversary chapter
Alright so I decided not to include Dredge just yet only because I didn't play the PTB and haven't really seen that much gameplay of him. I've been on a 2-month break from the game but looking to return when the chapter drops, so I wanted to make a tier list before I returned.

Personally I think Oni is above Artist. His snowball potential is absolutely huge, and he can get a hit on most any loop while in power. His early game is a weakness but he has insane comeback potential to make up for it. His addons are also solid.
Side note- the Yamaoka family lore is really cool, I wish they would expand on it.

I can see it, but Artist being able to use her power from the get go while Oni needs to work for his power, I think Artist is better.

Something seems different🧐….Sadako F tier I agree with this
0 -
Sadako is garbage. Needs massive buffs.

Poor Pig :(

Yeah Sadako in F tier is a pretty hot take, that’s probably what you’re noticing.
I think she’s a tad higher but honestly the weakest 4 killers are all pretty similar in strength.

Yeah poor Piggy, it's sad that the devs don't care for her :(
0 -
You’re right, she’s too powerful. Deserves nerfs.
0 -
But that's all she has, at least Clown has chase potential and a little bit of extra speed.

Pig does have ambush too but like many m1 killers she simply lacks for presence and has to work hard for her downs. Personally I feel Trapper is worse especially with Dead Hard nullifying his power significantly. True Addons can help such as the one that lets you walk over your own traps but I still think the base issues with Trapper are prevalent no matter what.
I still think Legion is D tier being the only killer who cannot use their power in any way whatsoever to down people unless they mess up. Plus their style is very predictable despite being frustrating to play against for some. Against weaker players Legion shreds but against remotely competent players who spread out, Legion is basically reduced to m1 or spending large amounts of time running around the map.

Demogorgon being that low should be a crime

No Spirit?

Am I blind, or is Spirit missing in this tier list?

who?

I'd put hag at the bottom of A tier and Legion above Doctor. Otherwise good list!

I don't see a reason why anyone would play Sadako instead of Dredge,he just does what she does but better.

Who tf

Did you break up with her

I don't agree with everything, but I do think it's funny that despite Trapper, Ghostface, and Clown getting buffs, they're still (rightfully) D-tier, right alongside Freddy (who used to be A-tier). And Sadako got majorly buffed from her original PTR form and she's STILL F-tier. It's almost as if killer nerfs are always WAY too much and killer buffs are almost always WAY too little (and never actually address the core problem that killer has).
There just aren't any killer mains over at the BHVR Balance Team, huh?

My time has come.

Okay just gonna list what I disagree with:
- Hag should be lower. Her playstyle of hit and run with traps being HARD countered by circle makes her a lot weaker than what she used to be pre-boons.
- Pyramid should be above artist. Pyramid is a zoning machine and his ability to deny meta perks makes him stronger than artist. Plus circle doesn't really effect him since you're gonna be tunnelling someone out 90% of the time. Artist is right below him but a good squad will make you rely on people staying injured for quick downs or map zoning in a 3 gen which is much less reliable than zone head.
- Plague A tier, she ######### circle. Nuff said.
- Nemesis should be in lower tiers. He takes too long to get downs against a team who give rare M1s. Especially when compared to people close to him like demo.
- Pinhead lower. Doesn't have a chase power if people predrop.
- Trickster waaaaaay lower. Hard countered by predropping and high walls which are easy to get to because he's 110. I would honestly put him right above clown.
- Slinger should be higher, he has good zoning game, good lose lose situations and still decent 3 gen defence. His addons are also good, especially cigar and coin. Maybe top of C.
- Freddy should be top of C as well. Has good pallet munching since he can TP directly back to gens and has decent chase. Plus great tracking for defence, he has a built in surveillence/thrill on sleeping survivors if you place snares under objectives.
- Trapper and myers should swap with sadako and pig. Sadako has old newspaper + iri videotape (if you didn't include these I understand the F tier placement) and pig can tunnel like a ######### which gives her at least something to be above trapper, clown, and myers.
- Spirit should be F tier. She's garbage after the nerf with zero chase power, no pressure and no good add ons.
0 -
Spirit F tier? My guy just admit your bad with her xD, she is no where near F tier, she's low S tier. Also she doesn't need good addons to win against good survivors.
0 -
What are you on about have you not heard? The nerf killed her!
All of her good add ons got nerfed, MDR isn't even good anymore and they removed her only good purple - the passive phasing one - and replaced it with a crappy tracking in phase add on. At least myers has an insta down jeez.
At least I still have my juniper bonsai for passive phasing, no reason to use anything else now, especially something as bad as speed or charge time.
1 -
She has an insanely strong power if you know how to use it correctly - she is literally S tier.
Nvm I just realized your trolling and I fell for it xD
4 -
I’m done trolling. You can have her at this point. Our relationship was ruined and I don’t feel happy with her anymore. I’ll keep her as my pfp though just because that’s how people recognize me but I want to be in love with a character that doesn’t negatively affect me like Spirit has. I might have found someone though 😊
1 -
May I ask what happened between you guys?
0 -
It was about two months ago we separated, but pretty much I found out that with her, our relationship was turning me into someone I didn’t want to be. I got into so many heated arguments and getting overly angry on her behalf, like when I was being an ######### to someone over them calling out Spirit bot hackers.
Pretty much I want to have a relationship with a character that doesn’t feel like I have no control over my emotions.
0 -
Not even for oni you can just drop as many pallets as needed making him a m1 killer until someone messes up + strong healing options are available. Artist has insane anti loop + map pressure/info from the start.
0 -
I can understand that.
You mentioned finding someone else. Might I ask who?
0 -
Crow mommy is A tier and that makes me approve your list. Although everyone hates playing her and playing against her, I love her power and will continue to main her. I do appreciate that you didn't just plop Dredge on your list without playing them, even for those who played them on the PTB, I still think it's way too early to assess its true potential in the tiers. I always enjoy seeing how other people rank killers.

Where's spirit?
0 -
Idk if you’ve played Valorant, but I’ve been playing that game a lot while on my DBD break, and I really like Neon. I hope things work out with her, because she’s a awesome and is a fun agent to play. She’s commonly agreed to not be fun to play against but that hasn’t bothered me really.

I'm wishing you two the best. I'm sure Rin will understand in time; you did what was best for both of you.

Thank you so much 😊

Oh wow a tier list thread. So unique and original.
0 -
Would you rather deal with the more “original” us vs them?
1 -
Lol you were too much generous with that Trapper and too cruel for Onrio.

Sadako is on par with Wraith, about 2 to 2.5 stars out of 5.
