A new killer vs killer very interested in your opinions here. Same two questions as always:

Who in your opinion would you class as the better/stronger killer of these two and why?

And which one of them is most fun to play?

    wesker is better cause mobility>>>>>>>


    most fun is dependant on you. I like both of them. but wesker wins out because he says his cheesy lines

    For fun to play as, Wesker by a mile wins for me. His power is not only feels great when you hit Survivors (smashing and trowing Survivors on stuff is awesome) but also feels less clunky to play.

    Pyramid Head might be better than him if you are rly good and you can land your M2 shots very offten and his tunneling is even better than Weskers, however I almost never play him because he is so clunky to use with that M2 and I feel like there is always some devil sitting on my shoulder telling me "YES, TORMENTED SURVIVOR, TUNNEL THEM!" even tho I tell myself I will try to not do it this match. Also he doesn't have cool edgy voice lines with Wesker. They both have great chase music tho (Wesker still has better imo).

    Damn, that's a tough one. Both are very strong in all areas you want them to be as killer. Wesker has the easier special attack to hit and mobility no question, but they both are about equal in terms of difficulty hitting multiple survivors. Not to be discounted, but PHs can both travel through objects, walls, and down stairs. PH has the better attack at loops just because it isn't hindered by the conventional objects in-and-around a loop. It can play around a downed pallet and You can hit a surv around a corner sitting in a vantage spot or predict their pathing for the hit. The trail is also a great crowd control and survs don't have direct control over it as with certain other killers.


    Overall it's neck and neck, but even if he's more of a time commitment to get the pay off I'd go PH on both. Being able to bypass travel time, hook state, and his built-in Mori barely give him the edge imo.

    I have to say I like playing PH more. It's that feeling of not always having to pick up and carry to a hook I like that and also ignore flashlights etc. But for some reason I never felt Wesker is that fun to play as everyone else seems to think.

    And stronger is very hard I think they are both pretty equal in A-tier, where most would put them. Perhaps PH could be a little better, but could be wrong it's very close.

    I prefer pyramid head. He keeps his comments to himself.

    I like Pyramid Head better, both gameplay and fun to play wise. He has better cosmetics, more fun gameplay, and he's overall a decent killer. Also his Mori is way better than Wesker's imo.

    Wesker is probably the most stronger out of the two because he can do more things, especially with his addons being better. But Pyramid Head remains better imo.

    Gameplay wise and flavour wise I prefer wesker, both to play as and against.

    He's a little different as a killer, it's kinda cool to see an almost human killer who's simply an intelligent, evil, conniving piece of ######### as opposed to another malformed boogeyman.

    Mechanically I feel he's more interesting and balanced as well. I'm not a fan of pyramid head's ability to hit through walls or his disappointing basekit mori. Plus torment should be easier to cleanse and inflict.

    Few Killers have as much control over the match as Pyramid Head does.

    Inflicting torment on someone and caging them negates any and all hook related perks, stops things like pallet or flashlight saves, and they cannot wiggle free or unhook themselves. Tormented Survivors also leave a trail of rusty barbed wire making them easier to follow. Tormenting Survivors is also easy because you can simply leave a brief trail at any loop, forcing them to leave or be inflicted. And of course, you get to personally execute Survivors who are tormented while on death hook.

    His M2 is difficult to hit, but its mere presence is enough to fill Survivors with doubt and make mistakes, granting you free hits when you simply drag your knife for a second or two. His M2 can guarantee hits however at things like window vaults and Survivors dropping pallets, along with tight corridors and even snipe Survivors unhooking each other or snipe them with aura reading perks.

    Wesker however is much more mobile, can vault pallets and windows, and his infection inflicts hindered with makes Survivors much easier to catch. He has a much easier time catching up to Survivors and landing easy hits at certain loops.

    He also has a larger than average terror radius which can be used with things like Distressing and Starstruck, which can easily confuse Survivors.

    Of the two I would say Pyramid Head is easily stronger, but both are extremely good and frankly you couldn't go wrong with picking either.

    This I find interesting with PH is a lot better, or Wesker is a lot better that most people have them both in A-tier as being very close to each other. So going on the normal "killer tier list" how would you place these two killers in which tier?

  • Alice_pbg
    Alice_pbg Member Posts: 6,556

    I'll push back on this. Tormenting survivors is very hard.

    Cause they will go to insane lenghts to avoid the thing on the ground.

    Which on the other hand makes them easier to hit.

    Wesker is going to be better due to high mobility.

    In terms of chase - both are on a same spot for me.

    Both are really good killers.
