Should I get ghostface dlc or should I get plague dlc? I was thinking of getting ghostface but the only thing that's holding me back is players saying his weak so I don't know if I should get him or not.


But for plague should I get this dlc instead or no?


Also these are the only killers that I don't have yet:(

    Ghostface isn’t weak at all he’s actually really fun and feels nicely balanced. Plague is an entire Dlc with survivor and killer perks but overall plague and ghostface are both fun killers to play but ghostface is the stronger of the two.

    Ghostface is pretty fun imo, he can be made strong if you can effectively hide around objects and stuff, his stalking is fun and if you're lucky you can even get some gen grabs.

    As for Plague, I think she's super fun too, she has snowball potential when survivors cleanse and if they choose not to you have an instadown.

    I'd say get Ghostface first since you can buy Plague with shards but it's up to you honestly

    I'd say get Ghostface since you can actually get plague with shards, but to my knowledge, you can't get Ghostface that way.

    I would say Plague is stronger, but you can get her with shards. But Ghost Face can be really frustrating to play because of his stupid mechanics.

    Care to explain why you think Ghost Face is stronger than Myers in your opinion ?

    Myers gets 1 minute instant down for all survivors, faster vault speed and longer lunge. Also, with the combo between Monitor and Abuse + Infectious Fright he can destroy an entire team in that minute.

    Ghost Face gets 45 seconds instant down on a single survivor and nothing else. He has a better stealth and a faster stalk, but that simply doesn't matter when his stealth is completely countered by Object of Obsession and his power has a 30 seconds cooldown, meaning that he might waste as much or even more time than Myers in trying to get his instant down if the survivor can cancel his ability even just once, which usually happen because his reveal mechanics works against him usually.

    When you talk about the strength of killers you should emphasize that it is your own opinion and not (necessarily) supported by access to the internal stats. Unless your post is actually based on internal stats, in which case you should mention that instead. I can see "Ghost Face is trash, buff plz" "But devs confirmed Ghost Face is better than Myers" happening based on your post

    OP: Ghost Face

    Plague is boring and bland to play, whether or not you get to use your power does not depend on you. Survivors just commonly don't cleanse the sickness. I don't want to start a discussion about whether or not this makes it easier to get kills with her, this is exclusively about how fun she is to play

    Also her cosmetics are meh

    Ghostface. IMO he is way more fun than Plague (as much as I love her), and he's actually a strong killer. A lot of people here say he's not because survivors can break your stalk, but he really is. He has stealth, one shot, and tracking. His power has a lot of utility and let's you employ different tactics over the course of a game. You just need to learn to use all the aspects of his power and understand survivor perspective so that you can break direct LOS to stop the break out.

    But Plague is a good pick too. She's just not that strong at the end of the day because good survivors will just stay Broken and you never get Corrupt Purge, which is where her strength really lies. You can counter this by running Thana and apple add-ons (they make a fountain start corrupted), but if they are really good survivors you will only get 2 Corrupts at most (double apples) so you need to use them perfectly.

    Both trash and unfun. Get myers if you haven't already. Or Leatherface for BBQ&C

    I guess it depends on your playstyle but GF is more fun for me. There's nothing in this world I enjoy more than creeping around and stalking people and he allows me to utilize my skills. I wasnt too into Plague until the no heal strategy became popular because you basically had to hit people three times but most of the time now it's one good puke on everyone and then one hit downs up until gates. Watching people run around barfing everywhere is kind of cool too but I'm still going with GF. He's not up there with the top dogs and you'll probably get destroyed by special ops teams most of the time but he's not far behind and can be a hoot when people aren't calling out your location to each other constantly. I've probably gotten more "you gave me a heart attack" type comments with him than any other killer I've used.

    I'm having a lot of fun playing as Ghost Face myself, plus I also love the sounds the killer makes and the fact that I can teabag as a killer :)

    Ghost Face is a lot more fun, but Plague has better perks honestly.

    Up to you really. They both need improvements.

    But an Apple used correctly can win you the match and can make survivors start cleansing, because they are 1 shot against your Corrupt Purge and they can't even hide, because they make a lot of noises and even Iron Will can't counter that.

    Black Incense is also a counter to no cleansing meta ( ultra rare add-on tho, but a really strong one ).

    You can get your Corrupt Purge 5 times without nobody cleansing by running Iridescent Seal.

    And Plague also has instant down and tracking, but instead of stealth, she has a range attack, which is better.

    If you're willing to pay with actuall money then it's ghostface for sure because later on you can just get plague and jane just with shards.
