    The Oni

    Technically The Oni is stronger. And he's way more fun to play as and he's also very instensify to play against.

    It's fun to zoom around and smash people. He's better at snowballing and pressuring more survivors. His ability also gives him map mobility. With some practice, some good perks and addons you'll have fun with him.


    The Knight can only summon one Knight at a time. He's slow. Even his zoning potential won't work on good survivors bc they're able to see from where you come. So they w-shift away and you will lose even more distance.

    it's also kinda sad that his other knights arent really... good? I mean the assasine is still very slow and his chase duration is the shortest of all three like... The fat guy is only worthy for chasing/distracing and so the patroller. And yea..

    Pretty sad they did nothing about his 3 soldiers. They're slow, weak, activating them takes so long and finally: Everyone is able to see from where they come.

    Long story short: The Knight will make you tilt very fast and even tho Oni can too: At least with Oni you have to learn to get better and you'll be able to 2K even very very good and organized teams. But Knight won't do that for you bc he hasn't the potential to evolve like this.

    Knight is more fun, stronger (not strong, just stronger), and has better perks.

    Oni for the actual killer. Knight for perks, particularly nowhere to hide. So it depends on what you want.

    Decent killer with bad perks, or bad killer with decent perks.

    She's great with iri tape and ring drawing condemn playstyle, but basekit she's one of the weakest since she does not have any power in chase and basekit condemn is really weak and survivors are able to get rid of it quicker than you can put it on

    The Knight

    I haven't honestly played The Oni but with The Knight being one of the few killers I've bought (mainly for perk unlocks) he doesn't really have much going for him. Other killers such as The Artist are ranked lower on most boards but are still easier to play and get kills on. The Knight is clunky to play and on top of that not having a ranged attack means that his ability better be good (which it's not) to make up for the lack of oppressive ability. Without playing The Oni I support buying him instead for gameplay. I personally bought The Knight for his perks to use on other killers.

    Oni is satisfying when you hit those curves the knight is straight out bad quote me if I'm wrong
