Which is the strongest stealth killer?

And i dont mean who can surprise survivors the most. Strongest meaning the ability to get a 3k/4k against decent survivors.

Not neccesary on comms, but it would be also interesting to hear which stealth ability is affected the most by it.

Stealth killers are (correct me if im missing some)

Wraith, Myers, Pig, Ghostface, Sadako (idk her lullaby is always there), Dredge, Skull Merchant, Chucky, Springtrap

    I'd say Wraith and Dredge. They have great mobility and can end chases fast.

    If considering add-ons, I think Wraith. On its own it is Dredge

    Wraith and Ghost Face would be my opinion. Dredge really isn't a true "stealth" killer, it's kind of a hybrid.

    A good chaser Ghost Face killer will have the survivors cleaned up in a hurry.

    How can they end chases fast? They have no strong chase power.

    If we're saying that Chucky is a stealth killer, he's the best on your list. Slice and Dice is crazy strong antiloop, his height can allow him to mindgame tiles other killers can't, he can loop tighter than other killers, making his 110% speed less of a drawback. The semi-recent buffs to cooldown and scamper make him all the better. He's also the least affected by the recent pallet density changes. Everyone else has to deal with the pallets but chucky can generally get a hit at the loop if you stay and between loops if you leave.

    Springtrap. He has the best map mobility and his axe can be quite strong anti-loop, his potential is very high.

    Chucky would be 2nd because he has a strong chase which stealth killers usually lack.

    Yh im on the fence if he is a stealth killer or not. But he has undetectable and can sneak up on survivor.

  • My guess would be a Wraith who knows what they are doing. Wraith mains can be terrifying. Same goes - and I am serious - for Pig.

    Apart from that, Chucky's stealth is good as well. The little steps are confusing plus he is so tiny that you see him very very late if he approaches from an unusual angle. And as far as I know, he only giggles when you charge S&D. So he is really silent on top.

    It's mostly about how you use their mobility. They can control their positioning during a chase and make certain loops unsafe.

    Wraith if you have strong addons because with weak addons or build he is weak and fragile (still has best stealth out of all these killers and mobility is great, he is best hatch finder on my opinion and can camp hatch to catch survivor off guard), then springtrap because he has great antiloop and some mobility (his stealth only exist if survivors are deaf or he has glitchtrap skin because he has louder footsteps than knight or nemesis), next is chucky (if we count him as stealth killer) because he has great antiloop and some advantages over other weaker m1 killers even the fact he is 110 speed, dreadge is overrated in my opinion and even now he got some more lockers which is good but more paletts with his weakj antiloop means survivors can hold shift+W and theres nothing dreadge can do to catch them compare to wraith or springtrap (his antiloop needs some high wall so you can hide it or unsafe paletts which are more rare now than open medium safe paletts and these killers like chucky or springtrap outpla way better than dreadge who is just m1 on them or hold W counter), next is mayers because he is stronger thanold one without tombstone now but he is still weak like slaughtering strike is weak as hell and its best use is at camping or tunneling then outplaying loops do to its big slowdown and speed and other delays (old tier two 99 which gave you fast instadown was better than strike in my opinion but strike can be solid with addons), pig is maybe before mayers because her dash can do actualy something now and her traps are still good but she needs downs to get her power working which is easier said than done as m1 killer with little stealth, sadako is only good if you have insane whereabouts on survivors which are near tv and can spread condem fast which leads to massive preasure and kill but other than that she has almost nothing than just teleport and little bit of stealth (if you arent good as 50% of onepumpwilli then you will loose unless you are beginer and she is noobstomper with dreadge and pig here), last is skullmerchant she is just nerfed to the ground under trapper so there is no need to comment her more she was just made (nerfed by devs because twiter went wild because of her) worst killer in the entire game so unless you like her and want to main her dont play her and loose your time.

    That was his power from beginning slow 110 killer with ability to get easier hit when he has his power but then he was nerfed to c-tier and now is solid or high b-tier, he is easy to play as and can get hits where most stealth considert killer from author cant (springtrap and wraith are behind him in getting hits).

    I have most success with skull merchant / chucky using stealth builds

    Springtrap imo. Although his stealth is hurt by his loud footsteps he can catch people off guard. my favourite application of his stealth is on blood lodge if a door is upstairs, this allows you to shepherd a survivor towards main then suddenly peel off and go through the doors to second story. Then drop on them and watch them dye their pants live in 4k.

    Although the main reason I'd say he's the strongest is because he is a hybrid killer with a variety of tools in his kit.

    I don’t know about position of person above a lot, but Wraith is a good choice with some stability, if using proper add-ons. He has some sort of better mobility, unlike Chucky, and can creat dead zones faster

    Chucky has good stealth, as well as anti loop. Probably the best one compared to other stealth killers. But 4.4 and new pallet density affects him a lot. If you aren’t spending your time maining Good guy so you are literally cracked with your M2, Wraith will be the better option for control. Chucky is way too dependent on chase time, and he doesn’t really have tools for pressuring

    Playing chucky his power is not that good as stealth power because survivors still know they are in your terror radius with these random footsteps spawning but they dont know where exactly if they dont see you or hear you giggling (chucky does that and it can reveal his position sometimes), its way better to play your m2 dash in chase than as aproaching tool, even as mobility tool with sole addons if there are some paletts or windows chained togeather like in larrys then you can use it as loud mobility because every time you scamper your dash time will reset back to full but tis rare to get these conditions for it so overall is way better to use it as antiloop tool for easy injuries.

    Wraith with addons is better because he is easier and has more threat to survivors in wasting their resources (paletts) but only with best addons because 3 seconds uncloakl time is bad I even think krasue has shorter cooldown when she goes to head form.

    I really like the dredge. Such a fun killer.
