Long time players, share what you think your top 10 all time most played characters are

Thought this would be a fun thing to do to think back to our entire history of playing this game. Everyone’s tastes change overtime so we end up shifting our characters a lot. These lists are based off how much you think you have played each character on both roles in your entire time playing DBD, not how much you like each character currently. Make sure recency bias doesn’t get in the way.

I will start with mine:

Survivor:

  1. Yui
  2. Claudette
  3. Meg
  4. Zarina
  5. Jill
  6. Feng
  7. Yun-Jin
  8. Mikaela
  9. Laurie
  10. David

Killer:

  1. Spirit
  2. Artist
  3. Blight
  4. Wraith
  5. Huntress
  6. Pig
  7. Nemesis
  8. Demogorgon
  9. Trapper
  10. Shape

    I have been meaning to ask you why Quentin is not your favorite for a while now but I see he is #2.

    Do you happen to have a crush on Claudette, the way that I do for Nancy?

    I'm glad Nancy is in your top 10 though! I ❤️ Nancy.

    Perhaps you could be the best man at my wedding, when I marry this beautiful young woman

    For survivor, Feng followed by Cheryl and Mikasa Ackermann.

    I don't play Cheryl anymore, I just was a Jeryl main. I had no intention on playing Yui she reminds me too much of a girl rhat broke my heart, but AoT forced me to buy Yui.

    For killer it's hands down Legion. That killer is why I'm such a nasty M1 gamer and Pinhead enjoyer

    • Survivor:
    1. Zarina (Female main, and she is the objective best character fite me irl [I'll lose])
    2. Felix (Male main, and he is the objective best male character fite me irl [I'll lose])
    3. Meg (Newbie main, lingered the longest and still return on occasion)
    4. Jeff (He's cool)
    5. Ash (He's cool)
    6. Kate (Intermediary Meg/Zarina main)
    7. Bill (Newbie male main, he is just way too loud though, I'd play and lose because he is too loud)
    8. Steve (I just think he's neat)
    9. Leon (Chris skin, less overall time)
    10. Nic Cage (Love this memelord, less overall time because he is newer)


    Killer:

    1. Ghostface (Objective Best Killer, fite me irl [I'll lose], there are Ghostfaces and Chasefaces/Campfaces, Chasefaces/Campfaces forgot their brain in their other pocket and lose [at life], Ghostfaces use M2 outside of chase and win [at life])
    2. Clown (I love being a D-tier Killer main)
    3. Legion (Yup, all my wins are from skills and not a busted Killer)
    4. Blight (I fought a Blight in soloq, got annoyed, was told 'just do X' to beat him, play him to prove you can't 'just' do that, the Survs couldn't do that, free win for me, if you can't tell this happens a lot)
    5. Trapper (D-tier main! Gotta love the classics. 2-story traps are the most fun as you know what is going to happen but they don't)
    6. Huntress (Most enjoyable 'Strong but fair' Killer, latest changes feel out of place and kinda busted imo)
    7. Myers (D-tier main again (no tombstoning in this house), Plaything/Penti/Thana is surprisingly effective on him, but it requires a massive playstyle shift)
    8. Pig (Kinda in the realm of D-tier, I actually haven't played her since the recent buffs because I like all the other D-tiers more)
    9. Demo (I just think he's neat)
    10. Dredge (Singularity would take this slot, but Dredge has simply been out longer. Both are fun in my mind under the 'Strong but fair' realm)

    7 years in & over 12,000 hours

    Survivor

    1. Meg (no official stats of course but got to be 4,000 hours +)

    other Survivors I play in rotation if I'm streaming or just doing data collection so I guess the orginals would by default make up the rest of the list only Kate maybe dethroning a few.

    Killers

    1. Trapper (by many thousands of hours)
    2. Myers (mostly scratch mirror)
    3. Doctor
    4. Bubba
    5. Oni
    6. Freddy (old freddy at least many many games back in the day)
    7. Hunteress (used to actually be able to hit hatchets!
    8. Clown
    9. Probably pig
    10. Probably plague

    (Maybe the last 2 could switch around)

    Shame we dont have more charcter stats like say overwatch love seeing how many hours I've pumped into Bastion & a whole host of other data.

    But I'm a stats nerd so maybe thats just a me thing!

    Do you happen to have a crush on Claudette, the way that I do for Nancy?

    Of course, dearest friend. She is perfect, I love her!

    Easily the best survivor in the game.

    As for Nancy, I played her a bit when the chapter released. I don't really like Stranger Things, to be honest, but she is a good character.

    Quite a surprise, is it not?

    ;)

    Console Player as a FYI. I started playing in 2018 sometime around Clown release. I can't remember if it was right before or right after but it was around then. Hour wise I'd say I'm around 2500 or so. I haven't checked in a while.

    Survivor

    1. Feng: My Main ATM because of her outfit choices. I used her for the majority of my survivor games but only started using her like a year after I started playing. I'm around P40 or so if memory serves.
    2. David: Started using him after I stopped caring about hiding all the time. I use the shirtless cosmetic and still use him once in a while.
    3. Dwight: First character I tried. Played with them for a while. I switch back to them when I do Head On shenanigans w/a friend.
    4. Claudette: Once I started to understand the game a bit better I switched from Dwight to her for Self Care and blending in. Back when she had the darker p3 outfit, moon offering and fog it let me hide super well and I was all for it. Iron Will was also a staple of course.
    5. Sable: Currently thinking of switching my Main to her instead of Feng like everyone else lol.
    6. Everyone Else: Only really played to do adepts or to get rid of offerings.

    Killer

    1. Wraith: One of my first killers and the one I have the highest prestige on at around 20ish. I normally level everyone up to 3 and then put all my points into survivor instead. Haven't played him much recently though.
    2. Wesker: I jumped on the Wesker train and loved every second. I still play him a lot and also have him around p20.
    3. Legion: I used to play them about the same as Wraith but kind of fell off.
    4. Nemesis/Oni/Myers: When I took the game really seriously I played them a ton to the point I'd say I main'd them. Then I kind of stopped caring and haven't really played them at all in probably over a year.
    5. Artist: Played her a lot when she came out. I don't play her that much anymore but I do still like her.
    6. Billy: I used to hate Billy and he was easily one of my least favorite to play. I gave him another chance with the buffs and he has become one of my favorite killers in the game to the point I started to only play him and am considering trying to Main him.
    7. Deathslinger: Used to not like him but he's grown on me and I was playing him a lot before I switched over to Billy. I still quite like him
    8. Chucky: Also played him a lot when he came out but not as much as others. I like Chucky a lot but at this point I have too many killers to choose from and normally end up picking another.
    9. Bubba/Doctor: I sorta main'd them early on; this was also before their reworks. I didn't really stick with them though.
    10. Everyone Else: Like survivor, I only played them for the adept, to use up offerings or if the mood struck me.

    This is a cute idea! I've been playing three years to the month. Started playing a couple weeks before All-Kill was released in March 2021.

    Survivors:

    Elodie was my first ever survivor, but Yun-Jin was my first main. Eventually she and Yoichi became my mains until Yoichi took over after Sadako Rising released. I didn't initially commit to Elodie as a main because her cosmetics were hit or miss to me but I always loved her. But now she's my main. I consider both her and Yoichi my mains, but I probably play Elodie more. I'd put Yoichi first just because I've been maining him longer and therefore I suspect I've played him a lot more.

    1. Yoichi
    2. Elodie
    3. Yun-Jin
    4. Claudette
    5. Felix
    6. Leon
    7. Nancy
    8. Adam
    9. Zarina
    10. Renato

    Killers:

    Killer is a bit harder because I'm not very experimental with my killers. I tend to stick with the ones I like and feel most comfortable with, but I think this is roughly where I'd put my list.

    1. The Hag
    2. The Trickster
    3. The Spirit
    4. The Mastermind
    5. The Plague
    6. The Demogorgon
    7. The Executioner
    8. The Xenomorph
    9. The Artist
    10. The Dredge

    Imma be honest most of these are stretches I generally use to get them to 40 then just dump everything on Kate, David and Claudette.

    Killer

    1. Wrath

    7. Hag
    8. Blight
    9. Cenobite
    10. Spirit

    Cenobite is the newest killer with a chance of getting on this list just because ive had less time to play the newer ones as they have been out for less time. Nowadays I never play most of this list so tastes do change.

    Within the last month or two I'd put my killers like this

    1. Hillbilly
    2. Singularity
    3. Huntress
    4. Doctor
    5. Clown

    I'm honestly not sure about the order of the last 3.

    1. Billy
    2. Doctor
    3. Nemesis

    5. Blight
    6. Freddy
    7. Deathslinger
    8. Plague
    9. Huntress
    10. Michael Myers

    Freddy could probably be a bit higher. I have played many games of Freddy. For some reason, whenever I want to do something gimmicky Freddy comes to mind and I'll play him for a few matches. Though I have never really mained him.
