Which killer has the worst perks?
And why is it Wraith?
Comments

Huntress would like a word with you. Wraiths perks are really bad but shadowborn can at least be a nice qol perk on a few killers. Huntress has nothing that benefits any killer but Lullaby. A hex that doesn't apply early game, doesn't really do anything mid game and almost certainly won't last long enough to hit the 5 stacks it needs to be useful.

Hm, Shadowborn has a decent effect, but the fact it's a perk might make it the worst just by being something that should be in the options menu instead.

Wraith has some bad perks. I love shadowborn but it gives survivors an easier time getting flashlight saves.

The Wraith and because he's free.

Free doesn't mean bad perks though. Nurse has good ones and so does trapper.

Pyramid Head

I'd argue Twins / Freddie perks, at least for a paid DLC

Huntress.
I will give you that for paid DLC they arent great but both Twins and Freddys perks have their use. Oppression is overshadowed by all the other slow down perks atm and its insanely long cooldown and coup feels bad only having a max of 5 that go away even if you miss. But both are alright (hoarder is only good on pinhead). and with Freddy Blood Warden wins are always fun and remember me is just overshadowed by no way out.
If youre only going dlc Oni would like a word as I would argue that all of his perks are meme builds only. And for licensed ones I think Weskers might win over freddy.

I think you meant to say Huntress.

Hmm yeah i second that, i actually had to look up Oni's other two perks, was only remembering his Nemesis Perk.

ACTUALLY, I dont think Wraith has the worst perks in the game. I think Huntress has the worst perks in the game.
Shadowborn is something I use a lot on Billy because the collision zones for his chainsaw are wider than what can be seen on screen, so without Shadowborn, you hit objects you cant even see. It's one of the only reasons why I main Billy actually, as without Shadowborn I would literally never play him.
Bloodhound is also really good on Legion, since most people are going to be injured, and with the lack of scratch marks in Feral Frenzy, it can make getting that 4/5th hit way easier. It's also really good whenever there are bugs that make tracking more difficult.
Predator is a perk I prefer to use on Spirit more so than Stridor, since Stridor messes with my auditory tracking too much.

Territorial Imperative is literally only useful on meme builds.
Hex: Huntress Lullaby is literally only useful on meme builds.
Beast of Prey is entirely useless since you can just moonwalk to hide your red-stain. Also it reduces red-stain mindgames you can do which is an active hinderance in chase.

Our vote goes to Oni. Zanshin Tactics is nice but ultimately can be replaced with map knowledge. Nemesis is fun on Nemesis for kicks and giggles, but is only useful for switching obsessions. Blood echo has a decent effect but is constrained by to many requirements to get alot of value out of it.
Honorable mentions go to Wraith and Ghostie

I am addicted to Shadowborn. S tier perk for me.
0 -
Sadako has one of the best perks at the moment with CoB. Her other two perks are good as well, just not top tier meta perks.

Oni and Huntress are pretty bad as others have said. I like to use Nemesis/PWYF on some killers but other than that Oni is pretty crap perk wise. Huntress Lullaby can be pretty funny if you actually get 5 stacks against average survivors but of course being a Hex 9 times out of 10 you lose it before you get any value
0 -
I'd say bottom three are Oni, Huntress and Wraith.
0 -
Huntress
Like who cares about basement
A Hex perk so bad 1/2 the playerbase probably doesn't remember what it does
And the other one
0 -
Huntress has the worst perks by far, Lullaby is """""strong""""" only with really new players, Beast of Prey does nothing and Territorial imperative... lol
Wraith has 2 terrible perks but Shadowborn is sometimes useful for some killers, so I guess it's slightly better than Huntress ?
And PH and Oni perks are very bad too
0 -
Wraith and Oni are my top 2.
0 -
im agreeing with perks
but addons?
she has 2 useful ones the rest is trash, nani?
0 -
I'm looking at that question as in "Which adept absolutely sucks to do, cuz the perks don't make it easier in any way"
And i'm just... Pig, 100% pig, holy hell her perks are absolute garbage.
Yeah you can make SOME use out of Make Your Choice on some killers, but it's never the perk picked over any other.
Surveillance? Was played maybe like for 1 week after Ruin got first time reworked.
Hangsman's Trick? - I've played in total over 6k hours across different platforms, I NEVER seen that perk in use outside adept

I'd also say I think it's Huntress. Wraith does have the single worst killer perk in the game, since Predator actively harms you, but even that does have some use- and the other two are very weak but basically usable. Shadowborn is a nice QoL perk (albeit badly designed in that it shouldn't be a perk) and Bloodhound is just a nice perk to have, it's only really bad because it's overshadowed.
Huntress, on the other hand, has two borderline useless perks and one perk that's situational by virtue of it being a hex. Literally no killer can make Beast of Prey not useless, very few killers can make Territorial Imperative worth running, and while Lullaby is okay it's a hex and scales far too slowly for how weak its effect is. I think her perks are worse than Wraith's, overall.

Huntress, Freddy, Twins, and Pyramid Head are worse off.

I disagree on nemesis and Sadako. Nemesis has the best killer perk in dbd right now along with Lethal pursuer and Sadako has call of brine.
0 -
Pyramid has been mentioned several times and I think his perks are underrated.
Forced Penance is good against SWF teams which tend to tank a lot of hits for their mates and also this perk usually activate simply by hitting a survivor near another one. It is very good with Twins for example, I use it with them.
Trail of Torment is not that bad, you force the survivors to touch a generator again for disabling it and also i'm a big fan of stealth perks in general. Now this perk can even be combined with the new aura reading Knight perk by kicking gens.
Deathbound force a survivor to stay near the healed mate.

Yeah, but literally not a single person asked about addons.
