DBD Killer tierlist 7.5.0

I'd put Freddy above Trapper, at least.

I think his mobility gives him a small advantage here. It is barely there, but it does exist.

He’s S tier in the hands of a good killer player. Sure, some maps are more difficult for him than others, but that’s the same for every killer, even Nurse (though, perhaps not as bad when it comes to her).

Also, his chainsaw either has a lock on mechanism or my butt has a magnet in it because he always finds me and gives me a heart attack 😭

Is hillbilly really that strong?

Chucky I think is 4th strongest, as he has some mobility, stealth, and anti-loop with his power, along with easier mind games with his height. He is stronger than oni because although oni insta-downs, a pre dropping survivor can easily waste 2-3 gens time. And during that time he has NO POWER. He is somewhat inconsistent because of this, hence him being weaker than Chucky.

Plague is weaker, as if you don't cleanse, she is an m1 killer, and since the meta against her is no cleansing, I believe she should be lower than Chucky.

Billy I don't think should this be this high due to decently heavy reliance on wide flat maps with fewer windows, as well as it being pretty easy to counter with lockers and windows.

Artist can get cross maps, but they are very likely to heal or be picked up from that. Additionally, her birds are counterable by running from where she places a bird. Also, using lockers instantly removes swarms instantly, my which I think is pretty stupid, but still.

I think spirit is a bit better than Chucky, only because when he gets in his stealth, you know almost immediately and his slice and dice can be stopped with lockers, and dodges can be easier done than spirit. Spirit I feel, has a slightly worse active stealth, but has much better mobility, and is much harder to dodge attacks. Add the fact that her phase attack are affected by exposed, and that's why spirit is better.

Also, as a singularity main, if you maintain slipstream during chase and can find survivors with biopods, your power can very easily overwhelm a vast majority of people, including swfs, which puts him better than alien, but worse than huntress.

Clown is also slightly higher, as he can counter powerful area, such as shack, with proper bottle placement. He is still in the bottom half, as some pallet s on the game and easily pre dropping every pallet are still pretty effective strategies, although somewhat mitigated by bottle placement.

I agree that Deathslinger is better than the killers below him. I think he should still be above all of them, just at the top of B- rather than the bottom of B+. I personally think missing a shot as Deathslinger is VERY punishing. I've attempted to beat the win streak record with him (which is 30, the lowest of all killers I believe) and I managed to reach 26 wins but that required me to play near perfect every single game. Making one mistake as Slinger can cause the entire game to fall apart because of how bad his map pressure is. Also disagree with him synergising well with M1 perks, aside from Starstruck. STBFL was really good on him, but now he is probably one of the worst users for it. Coup is alright but kind of unnecessary. I do agree he is better than all the other killers below him, but I think his faults just barely keep him in B- for me.

As for Ghostface - I think he is underrated but honestly it's mostly just bias because I've spent hundreds of hours on him haha. The main problem I see Ghostie players do is they spend too long in a chase against a non-marked survivor. If the chase is going on too long, just stalk them a bit and then go find someone else. Even if they are injured still 99 them in case they heal up later and they won't expect it. Don't spend too long in a chase and 99 survivors when ever possible and ambush them at the right time.

As for coordinated teams, yes they are tricky for Ghostface to deal with, but not that much more than the rest of the killers. Play more patiently and often you can catch one of them off guard and lead to a snowball that can win you the game.

Also Coup is insanely good on him and that alone I feel bumped him up the tier list for me. I don't think he is a great killer, but I would personally put him in low B- tier.

Honestly though these are very minor placement differences so I think your tier list is still very accurate either way.

God forbid having interesting civil debates on who the strongest killers are. If you don’t like it, don’t click on the thread. It’s not that hard to comprehend.

I have to partially agree. Nure is easy... To perform extremely well with. It's far easier to get kills with Nurse than with any other killer in the game. This is due to her power having no counterplay if the player playing her is on point.

Getting the hang of nurse takes roughly 10 matches at most. The first ones will probably result in low amount of hooks, if any at all. After these matches, the player should be able to stomp a majority of public matches. Especially with some builds. Mastering Nurse is definitely harder though. She has a lot of tricks that can be pulled of, that require a decent amount of gamesense and skill. Sadly those skills are not needed by a long shot for the majority of public matches.

Very much appreciated 🐽

Are you going to share the revised tier list with us later? I’m interested to see how it looks after everyone’s feedback

Crazy seeing A Tier Billy again. Pretty close I'd say, swap Freddy and Trapper cause Freddy gets stealth and tp imo. I'd put Chucky over Spirit, but that's just me. Other than that, Pinhead is A Tier cause I feel like most survivors aren't really good at box managing.

Personally I'd swap Billy and Plague. Billy is pretty strong for sure but he still has some trouble with maps and his addons aren't all that impressive either. Plague on the other hand can become pretty nasty. She leaves everyone broken with little to nothing they can do (other than cleanse) and the only way to heal against her, gives her arguably the strongest chase power in the game. A good Plague will hit you almost everywhere. If you decide not to cleanse, then she can proxy camp to force it (otherwise you won't get the unhook). Plague also has the better addons by far.

I'd put Dredge at least before Demo as well. Everything Demo does, Dredge does in better. He doesn't need to set up porals but has his mobility right off the bat and can go to places he hasn't been before. His anti loop is also better. Sure, Demogorgon can get a pallet out of the way quickly but Dredge can force you into hit or scenarios around any slightly secluded loop.

Bubba is a solid B-tier canditate in my opinion. He has one of the strongest chase abilities in the game and with the right set of addons a good Bubba can down you for the mistake of giving him the pallet side around a loop. That's pretty strong and a lot more than the other B- tier killers have to offer. It also makes up for his lack of mobility pretty well and he can also counter popular survivor strategies like pre drop, Shift + W.

Nemesis is probably also better than Doctor. If you can get out of tier 1 early, there are not many ways to hold you back. Pallets get decimated and you get some pretty nasty hits as well. They don't injure survivors from the beginning but it definitely puts him before Doctor, who has real trouble playing around dropped pallets and needs to break many of them. Doctor has the better addons but you will pretty much always have to bring Discipline, a range addon or both.

Perhaps you could also swap Chucky and Wesker. Both are pretty similar in strength but I think Wesker has the upper hand thanks to his secondary ability, which gives him a bit of slowdown and information. His power also has a way shorter cooldown.

imagine:

a killer that can´t do nothing is as good as a killer that can insta mori survivors at the start of the game before they can even react just because the first one can somehow win a match?

This game should have multiple tier lists. That would, at least acknowledge the fact that some killers change tiers depending on skill level.

People should want to see tier lists that are relevant to their skill level. For example, if someone is mid-MMR, telling them Nurse is S tier is useless, because in the majority of the games they play, killers like Wraith and Legion are going to perform much better than Nurse.

That’s not what is happening. I think most people actually think there’s only one tier list for the entire range of MMR, and that if Nurse is at the top, then she’s broken across the entire playerbase and therefor me should be nerfed.

When in reality, she’s not overperforming overall, and not overperforming at the top 5%.

I mostly agree, but a couple things I'd change personally:

1. I'd move Spirit down to A Tier, Nurse and Blight are far more consistent in my opinion, but I'd still keep her 3rd place, just don't think she's on the same tier as Nurse and Blight
2. I don't think Billy's A Tier, B+ is a more fitting spot IMO. Once Survivors understand how to play against the new Billy I imagine he'll become a bit tougher to play.
3. Dredge is too low IMO, B- or B+ would be more fitting
4. Onryo has since received 4 buffs since 7.5.0, I'd put her a tier higher
5. Clown is too high for me, he should be in the lowest tier IMO

I see your point regarding Nemesis in comparison to Doctor and Demogorgon as well. Both of them are a bit more consistent but Doctor on a big map with space to Shift + W is pretty rough. Nemesis has the upper hand in so far that Shift + W can only work as long as the survivors have enough health states. Pre drop against him and he walks right through.

His early game is indeed pretty rough but I have seen great success with Lethal Pursuer and sometimes Corrupt Intervention. Both of these perks can help him get going before the survivors can really make a lot of progress and once he does get going, he becomes a pretty hard to play around and to beat. His zombies also offer a bit of information and can be quite handy at times.

Maybe it's just that my own confidence with Doctor has taken a dent. I have lost some games feeling like there was absolutely nothing I could do. But I do think it gives Nemesis the upper hand despite his inconsistencies. Of course there isn't one correct order though, as any tier list is always influenced by its creator's opinions.

For Bubba it is true that he is quite addon dependent but with the right addons (and he has a handful of good ones) he becomes quite fearsome. I just can't see him that low. Especially since Singularity has pretty much the same issue. Without Soma Family Photo and Coup de Grâce he really isn't that impressive. I did the math a while ago and simply holding Shift + W will let you outrun Singularity's overclock mode even when all 4 survivors are slip streamed. You don't need to vault or drop any pallets either.

Let me know what you think.
