Killers. Who do u main? And why?

Me? Lately? Pig...

She's weak. Yeah. But man is she fun. Lose or not. Going against vets or noobs i 100% get scares on all sides. If you play her stealth right idc who you are or how good you are. You get surprise hits and freak outs. So fun. Idc about winning with her.

With her its about being smooth.And its so much fun. However.... nobody boops the snoot anymore

I feel thats dying or dead now :(

    I've Been Maining The Unknown for a good while now. I love how creepy he is and how he plays.

    He has great custom Map pressure a great but not OP power and just over all I just go to this Killer when im having bad games.

    Myers, Ghostface, Wraith, and Pig because I like my stealth killers. Oni and Spirit, because I also enjoy zooming.

    Skull Merchant, but for a very long time my main was Freddy.

    Unfortunately both of them are killers with a substantial amount of changes, meaning I don't get the peace of having a favorite who will remain as they are.

    But I don't regret the time or bloodpoints I've dedicated to them. I enjoy these killers because they are (or were, in Freddy's case) unique. I don't like dash killers, mid-range M2 or ranged characters like Huntress or Deathslinger.

    I like map control, I like the idea of AoE drones that give me information, I like the concept of pulling a survivor into another world and then interacting with them. It is what works for me.

    I've been using Knight. I just fart around with him though.

    I main Ghoul, because this character and his ability remind me of the Night Hunter from Dying Light, and I like mobile characters without teleportation (Billy, Blight).

    Chucky, Myers, and Pig. I still get the occasional boop attempt, but mostly from ttvs. I guess boops must still be decent content? Also enjoy Wraith, Demo, and Xeno. Been contemplating buying Houndmaster.

    Currently, Doc and Legion, mainly for the event because those 2 are the biggest BP earners which lets me net lots of Scream Pies/Anniversary cakes. Otherwise, I tend to still Main Doc, since I find his add-on + perk combo's to be the most versatile in the game, but I also Play lots of Plague, she's a lot stronger than most people think, so much that she's become my Go to Girl, and some Pyramid Head... I just really like him, and hope they don't nerf his PTB version into the ground because those changes look very exciting.

    Before the event though, I was really getting in the groove with Unknown, especially after seeing a video showcasing the "unknown terror" build and how diabolical it makes them, and of course, I jumped on the Springtrap Bandwagon like everyone else, but I dunno if I'll keep him in my Mains rotation, mostly because I feel like people are probably getting sick of facing him all the time.

    Singularity because I enjoy his gameplay loop and how much agency he gives me without feeling cheap. This killer is very interactive to play and his power minimizes the amount of boring parts of dbd, giving options for very intense and action heavy gameplay. It's also really fun to have so many small mechanics you can use in different situations to catch people off guards.

    Plus the overall eyes in the game / omnipresence / relentless chaser thats always a few feet behind the survivor moving at very fast speed feels really great.

    Another killer I main would probably be xeno. Tail is one of the few midrange m2s I really enjoy using, tunnels feel really nice and immersive to use and turrets don't feel like too big of a trouble. Generally this killer is really nice for casual gameplay when I don't feel like sweating too much.

    Also used to play unknown but gave up cuz this killer is way too inconsistent, playing a lot of springtrap right now, probably going to drop him at some point too as playing watered down huntress is kinda meh, the power has little actual uniqueness to it because of how it was balanced and trickshots arent really something you should be playing around with how stingy the hitboxes are to your precision even though youre effectively throwing blind.

    Usually Trickster or Vecna, but I've been playing around with Springtrap and Houndmaster lately, since Springtrap is new and I just unlocked Houndmaster. I find both of them quite fun, though I'll be playing around with Oni, Twins and Nemesis since I got them recently but haven't tried them out.

    I play every killer on the roster often. But my p100s that i play more often are

    Xenomorph (big fan of the movies/games/comics)

    Dracula (big fan of castlevania, ive played through allllll the games, like over 25)

    Skull merchant (because Hot Dayum!)

    Ghoul (specificly Rize as she was my favorite character in the anime, even if she was barely in it lol)

    freddy, he was decent before getting changed to bad pallets and projectile, his height had a good hitbox on lunges and bro was a trap killer without the awful setting up.

    Sadly we got butchered and now have a projectile that is hard counterd by vigil since the rework, is actually weaker than snare + the pallet is actually detrimental to us since it stuns + has a long setup and explosion timer with bad radius to hit.

    I also play legion but you know, old killer, everyone knows how to counter, basically you will get a power hit on someone camping an unvaluable pallet, will get stunned out of power and play like an m1 bot…

    I circle between multiple killers.

    My "main" ones are Artist, Houndmaster, Plague, Myers and Wraith.

    Sadako, Plague, and Huntress, mainly. And I'll also have scratched mirror Myers play sessions because I love scaring people into messing their pants. I was a Spirit main for a long time, but her nerfs made her unrewarding to play for me (I'm half deaf and can't track well using audio, so I needed to use prediction/surprise, which isn't viable now).

    But I'm all about J-Horror, which mostly what I mained Spirit (and now Onryo).

    But I'll play any killer at any given time aside from Nurse/Blight. And Unknown, for some reason I forget it even exists.

    I switch a lot, but at the moment I main huntress. Hitting crossmaps is just a beautiful thing, generally her hitsound is just beautiful to hear.

    Her theme and the general simplicity but at the same time huge amount of possibilities of her power is just nice :D

    Legion and Oni

    I like M1 gameplay and both of them require pure M1 in some situations.

    Also I like to play Dead By Fashion and those two have some very good skins. Skully matched it, but she is trash now.

    Lately it's hard to be maining killer, because of the queue times.

    But… if you ask me who p100-wise is Huntress, Hillbilly, Deathslinger and trapper.

    But I am playing more of Vecna, Dredge and Uknown lately, got them to p30 already

    I main 3: Pig, Shape, and Ghostie since I grew up watching these iconic legends and I love jumpscares in the game. But I do find Pig most enjoyable due to Jigsaw's RBTs.

    I love Wesker and Dracula, because they look really badass LOL. And they're pretty fun to play.

    I love Unknown and Dracula, like how diverse their toolkits are allowing for different plays.

    singularity. He has a good chase power if you know how to use it well, he hard counters holding W and he has a tiny bit of slowdown as well. I consider him the better springtrap lol

    Knight bc he just has so much goin for him, u can zone, u can occupy survivors,kick gens far away, patrol an area, u can deny gens popping right in ur face, u can pincer ,shred pallets w carnifex,block pallets w the other 2 guards,check on gens see if it has progress/someone working on it,block windows, deny pallet/flashlight saves, just the sheer number of stuff he can do that no other killers can. And he looks badass.

    Mikey Myers. He's the reason I bought the game back in the day. I am a huge Halloween fan.

    But that wouldn't be enough to keep me playing him if he wasn't fun. I find him a lot of fun to play. He's very versatile with builds and play styles. Add ons that literally change how you play him. Bhvr did a good job of capturing the feel of his character from the movies. He's got the iconic John Carpenter music and all.

    Freddy

    He was one of my all-time favorite Horror villains from the 80s.

    right now I'm laughing with EndTrap.

    I hadn't dabbled in it much before but None are Free paired with Noed make me feel so powerful! Those on my naughty list get a present from the loot bag :3

    I don't really have a main at the moment but recently I've been playing a lot of stealth Huntress. You'd be surprised how many people ignore the lullaby if they don't hear the TR, I've gotten so many grabs recently.

    I don't think I'll do it after the event ends though because it gets expensive having to collect so many wooden foxes in the bloodweb.

  • TimberGoingDown
    TimberGoingDown Member Posts: 944

    Spirit and Xeno

    Spirit because she's a really good killer that's fun af to play

    Xeno because I think he looks cool, while also not being too weak.

    I used to main Knight, but he just keeps getting weaker with every patch.

  • Marc_go_solo

    Although I enjoy playing a lot of them, I have a preference for: The Executioner, The Oni, The Trapper, The Artist and The Hillbilly.

    Currently, I'm practising with The Shape. So far, so good!

    Ghoul now he is really fun to play as killer and has everything you need. Great chase power and mobility.

    I used to main Oni but he starts too slow but in 2vs8 last time I played him only. He has most fun power in game but sadly it's very limited. I seem to face best of the best survivors with him so got tired of that.

    Dracula is killer I like a lot too. I like his shapeshifting abilities and I wish he had add on to be wolf only. I might let survivors pet him.

    I play Huntress/Were-elk when I want to mori survivors. Love the skin.

    Wraith used to be my bp farming main.

    Demogorgon was also one of my old mains. But newer ones unfortunately outperform him pretty significantly. He is stil one of best looking ones and satisfying power to use.

    Using both iri add ons was one of my favourite combos. It's bit meh now.
