What has the Tier List Looked Like Recently?
-Made some changes to the list, Myers is now above Huntress and Pig is above Trapper-
I've been wasti- I mean spending enough time on this game to understand what the killers are looking like ATM (I can't see my hours on PS4 FeelsBadMan), and I have come up with what I think are, for the most part, pretty accurate representations of each killer's skill cap in regards to each others'.
Anyway, here is the list. Tell me what you think I'm right or wrong about, and let's keep it civilized! <3
(This list was made based on what they are capable of WITHOUT addons in case you were wondering.)
S Tier:
•The Nurse
A Tier:
•The Hillbilly, The Spirit
B Tier:
•The Hag, The Plague, The Clown, The Shape, The Huntress
C Tier:
•The Pig, The Trapper, The Wraith, The Doctor
D Tier:
The Legion, The Cannibal, The Nightmare

S nurse

others..... hope that survivors are trash

@Numinous Purple addon, impossible to use consistently. Nurse in comparison is strong even if you dont use any addons.
But even if you could run prayer beads every game, I dont believe spirit belongs to S, nurse is still stronger
Regarding the nerfs, I read that they messed with the sound and you clearly hear her transition now, but I cant confirm because I havent faced a single spirit in 2019 I think

You're close. Closest I've seen to being accurate.
This is my list.
S Tier:
•The Nurse
A Tier:
•The Hillbilly, The Spirit
B Tier:
•The Hag, The Huntress, The Clown, The Nightmare
C Tier:
•The Shape, The Pig, The Wraith, The Cannibal, The Doctor
D Tier:
•The Plague, The Legion, The Trapper

I'm interested to know why you put Freddy in B tier. I know you most likely main Freddy because of your profile picture, but in reality, what can Freddy do without addons?

Just so its clear, Spirit wasnt nerfed intentionally. That is a bug that appeared with the last patch. Sometimes, while beginning her phase (fully charging it), she will produce a loud glass breaking sound that Survivors can hear. It also happens when she vaults.

Those aren't nerfs they are bugs

Pretty close to my tier list as well.

- Nurse
- Spirit
- Hillbilly
- Hag
- Huntress
- Plague
- Myers
- Clown
- Wraith
- Legion
- Doctor
- Pig
- Trapper
- Leatherface
- Freddy
That’s my own personal tier list based on effectiveness in red ranks.
1 -
Freddy above MYERS? Plague below Leatherface? That I don’t really agree with. Why do you think Plague is low tier and MYERS of all killers is C tier?

"Legion is D-Tier"

Tier lists are dumb

I think legions is b tier

I always wonder why the Clown seem consistently placed higher than the others base stats M1 killers on theses lists. And also why the Cannibal is rated so low despite having an insta-down attack that can hit multiple targets.
0 -
Clown can slow the Survivors down with his power. Leatherface's power is only really useful out in the open.
0 -
And how many times have you hit multiple targets in one run out of the basement?
0 -
With Frank's Mixtape he is definitely more unfair and uncounterable, but without it he is pretty garbage.

Thank you for the helpful and constructive statement. I'm glad you had something to add to the discussion.

I'd put The Pig higher personally. Her mind game potential is great.
0 -
Yeah, the Pig can mindgame on higher-walled loops and ambush around some. Her ability also slows down the game a great deal, so I've raised her placement on the list.
0 -
@NuminousShe also contests pallet loops very well. Once they loop through you go to the middle of the pallet and power up your dash (or fake it). They'll either get caught most of the time or abandon the loop.
1 -
The multi-hit part is not really the important one here. Even if its not as good as Billy's, its still an insta-down attack. In fact the only major difference beetween Bubba and Billy is the mobility. So how come they are rated so far apart ?
Likewise, if the Clown's ability to moderatly inconvenience survivors with his tonic is enough to propel him to B Tier, how come the Doctor who can flat out prevent survivors from vaulting or dropping pallets and know where they are all the time is a whole rank below ?
I'm just trying to understand the reasoning here. Am I missing something really terrible that cripple the Cannibal to the point of making him worthless ? Is there something about the Clown I just don't know or understand that put him a league above the other M1 default stats killers ?

Billy is S tier because his M2 is dual-edged -- in addition to being an instadown, it allows him to travel around the map at 230% speed. Only Nurse is capable of moving around the map faster (333%, but only in short bursts)
Leatherface, on the other hand, cannot use his chainsaw to apply map pressure, and the penalty for a wall hit is MUCH higher for Leatherface. In addition, the way that Leatherface's chainsaw charges (hold until a full charge, then release whenever) compared to Hillbilly (hold and release at will, until you have a full charge) makes fake-outs much more costly in terms of time and distance for Leatherface.
THAT is why Leatherface is only good for BBQ (and hook-guarding) and why Billy is consistently top-tier.
1 -
That's a great explanation. Thank you very much. 👍️
I'd still put Leatherface a notch above Freddy though. A bad chainsaw is still better than Dream Demon.

Mine after MoM got added:
S Nurse, Hillbilly, Hag
A Myers, Huntress
B Freddy, Spirit
C Pig, Doctor
D Legion
E Wraith, Leatherface
F Trapper, Plague, Clown
0 -
I'd say
S+: Nurse
S: Billy, Spirit
A: Plague, Myers, Huntress, Hag
B: Clown, Pig, Doctor
C: Wraith, Trapper, Leatherface. Freddy, Legion
No particular order within the tiers. I'd say that with the right perks no one is truly unviable in this game, the tiers are more about how hard they are to pull of/the more perk dependant they are.

Why do you think Freddy is better than Spirit, let alone B tier?
0 -
SS Nurse, Hillbilly, Spirit
S Hag, Myers, Plague
A Huntress, Clown, Pig
B Wraith, Doctor, Trapper
C Cannibal
D Legion, Nightmare
