Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

YOUR Killer tier list

Gonna be honest, haven't played the game since Apex so I've lost track of the current killer tier list so leave me the WHOLE current killer tier list.

    TBH it depends on if you're playing on console or PC, since that affects the rankings quite a bit. Especially for Huntress, Nurse and Plague.

    Spirit, Myers and Hillbilly are up the top on both though, if that helps.

    Well im on xbox, prefer stealth, and dont have all the killers so it's very possible my opinion will be irrelevant to you but

    S - Ghostface. He's by far the stealthiest killer in the game, he also has a built in one shot ability that people underestimate. Extremely controversial putting him above literally everyone else by a whole tier but he's my favorite to play.


    A - Myers. My former main. Tier 1 with scratched mirror is still very fun but you got to kind of avoid chases, also hes pretty easy to spot being like 8 feet tall and wearing a bright white mask.

    Hag. Her teleporting is one of the strongest powers in the game and can create a huge amount of map pressure. She's also pretty hard to spot on some maps.

    Hillbilly. He has an insta down that he can get him across the map in the blink of an eye and can actually control his chainsaw to guarantee a hit.

    Spirit. Even with the upcoming nerf i think she is going to be a constant threat because of her unpredictability. I just got her and haven't played her much but the phasing can quickly bypass loops altogether. I don't think she's THAT good but i also don't wear headphones which I know helps you find people a lot easier.


    B - Wraith. My very first main. He's kinda invisible but not really....and he has to take time to cloak. And he has to take time to uncloak and also rings a big ass bell when he does it so you're not going to sneak up on anybody without his add ons but he still is able to be unpredictable and fast. He can also body block very easily and gets a speed boost after uncloaking to help get that hit

    Demogorgon. He has a lot going for him, he has traps that he can teleport to that also make him briefly undetectable. There's also the lunge that can not only get people at a distance but break pallets quickly. However nothing in his kit is THAT good so he's a jack of all trades master of none. The versatility still gives him a lot of options to deal with different situations.

    Bubba. Controversial because hes extremely easy to loop and can a lot of the time seem like just a worse billy, but his chainsaw while lacking the control or speed of Billy has a wide spread, can hit multiple people and if you hit a wall you throw a 30 minute tantrum that can still down survivors! It happened to me...once. His main strength is basement play because otherwise you're probably not going to be able to get two downs at once, but once they're in their they're kind of #########.


    C - Doctor. Not really too much going for him. His power can stop people from vaulting or throwing pallets but 9/10 you're not going to get the chance since he has to put up his weapon and slow down when using it. He is able to find survivors really easy and has built in slow down but overall under powered.

    Huntress. Her hatchets can be hard to hit and i don't think shes as useful as she is on PC but once you get them down you have a really useful tool to take out people at rang. The only problem is thats all she has. Very slow and no way to really create pressure.

    Trapper. With good trap placement you can lock down entire sections of the map but while you're setting that up gens are getting done. He also HAS to lock down an area because if he spreads his traps out the survivors will just break free before you can get to them.


    D - Nurse. Extremely controversial but I've never been good at playing her and ive never seen a nurse that hasn't gotten bullied. Actually right after i read this post i got into a game with a nurse, i ran her around for a challenge and she got no kills. (She has some of the best perks tho so worth leveling up her bloodweb)

    Legion. Legion sucks HOWEVER they are getting nerfed so there's that. Love their design and concept but if you pick them you're basically a basic killer that can run fast and get in an easy first hit which isn't as great as it sounds. Not helpless but by far the weakest killer because the thing that makes them unique, feral frenzy, sucks. I've literally had one person die from it ever and i didn't know what the ######### happened at first. They most of just decided to let themselves die

    Dont have Pig, Freddy, Plague or Clown but from a survivor perspective i think freddy and pig are pretty strong, i think plague and clown aren't

    thats just my opinion, feel free to disagree.

    they are also not necessarily sorted from strongest to weakest in the tiers themselves. i tried to do that aswell, but for some killers i probaply didnt do too well...


    also i do know Trapper is too low :/

    Your list was good until you put Plague in C tier. She's easily bottom of A tier, top of B tier. Thanna + Dying Light Plague is disgusting.

    A: Spirit, Huntress, Billy, Hag (Oni?)

    B: Freddy, Plague, Ghostface, Myers, Demogorgon, Pig

    I stopped playing the game for i think 3 months? and just come back... based off what I seen and What I just played.

    Nurse/Spirit/Oni

    Hag/Huntress/Billy/Demog/Freddy/Ghostface

    the rest somewhere under.

    When this new killer charges their power and they see you, you’re pretty F’ed ngl... it’s like EW3 myers but they can sprint... anyone will take that over what myers can do for the minor penalties.

    The new killer has built in tracking, it’s not difficult to collect blood and his ability lasts for ages.

    The downsides are he can be looped and if the survivor doesn’t get hit... yeah they can kinda screw over the killer early.

    But, I think he’s the best killer because you can just stack slow down game perks for that first chase or just take spirit fury. Once you have 1 injured the snowball starts and he gets good slug pressure/map pressure.

    Am I saying he needs a nerf? I think people will find out if he does once they have all the perks for him. I like that he came strong so killers could play him while they don’t have those perks but yeah... I think duration is just abit too long of his ability... feels like it lasts forever and I’m not sure how you get away from him with pallets. So yeh. :P maybe I’m missing something idk but he can just break pallets when in rage with no real draw back as he’s very fast.


    edit: when Oni camps there’s absolutely no saving the person on the hook like in the endgame because of how long it lasts if he has it on.

    tbf, i never really played plague.

    what ive seen of her tho is, that she gets genrushed very easily and for most survivors being injured all game isnt that big of a threat against a normal M1 killer.

    we can talk about B-Rank, but A-Rank is too high for her imo.

    Funny to see legion low on all these then one says hes low and then getting nerfed so probably will drop even lower. *sigh*

  • Mikeadatrix
    Mikeadatrix Member Posts: 890

    Your entitled to your opinion but I highly suggest you play her with the slowdown build or watch someone else use it. Sure, survivors will stay sick all game to avoid cleansing but now they are all oneshots and affected by Thanna.

    Liruliniel Member Posts: 3,051

    Add Legion too that PC better List. Random FPS drop on console means good bye power.

    Plague is not nearly as hindered by FPS from PC to Console like Huntress or Nurse tho.

    Plague is the least hindered by aiming with a controller, but the FPS drops aren't really a problem for me as I instead have to contend with GIANT LAG SPIKES because Australian internet.

    The bigger problem for those 3 is actually learning to aim without an indication of where you're aiming. This affects the Huntress greatly and really places her lower on the console tier list to the point where she's possibly the weakest killer on console.

    Clown and Plague are somewhat of an AoE effect, so Clown you have to get "close enough" and Plague you just swivel the stick back and forth. Then just let your power do all the work for you.

    The link shows my criteria and how exactly they were graded.

  • TheHourMan

    The Demogorgon would rank at C tier according to this. Average.

  • Liruliniel
    Liruliniel Member Posts: 3,051

    I think both Pig and Ghostface are stronger than Myers. Great list tho otherwise.

    Ya my ex was from there I know about that man I do have sympathy for you.

    I dont think Huntress is too bad as I main her, but when I compare her to PC when I play half the time I'm pretty meh on her.

  • TheHourMan
    TheHourMan Member Posts: 1,052

    I have them in the same rank as Myers. Idr if I gave them a higher numerical grade than him, but the pictures ar eordered in the order that they are on the character select screen in each tier

    Oni would be A tier right above Billy. I dunno if I’d put him above Hag or not. This is only based on gameplay I’ve seen of him.

    @PigMainClaudette I play on PS4 and I do mainly play Plague. I have mained her since her release.

    She isn’t NEARLY as hindered by controller movement like Nurse or Huntress. She is a pretty straight forward killer. It can be a pain if the survivors run into your model since she is super tall. It can cause you to miss a lot of your puke. All killers are a little limited by controller movements especially ones with projectiles but Plague doesn’t have to be super accurate.

    You can get lag spikes but I don’t get them playing Plague. I get BAD lag spikes as Hag and Demogorgon.

  • MegMain98
    MegMain98 Member Posts: 2,920

    Plague is extremely fun to play and she’s a great killer as well. She is highly underrated. I always have a great time playing Plague whether the team cleanses or not.

  • Liruliniel
    Liruliniel Member Posts: 3,051

    Same honestly I enjoyed her more after I adepted her. I dont play with perks outside the teachables until I do the adept.

  • MegMain98
    MegMain98 Member Posts: 2,920

    I usually go for adepts after rank reset because it is much easier to get a double pip. It’s gonna be a bit harder after the rank changes because I’m usually a red rank killer sadly. Just glad I have all the current killer/survivor adepts. ESPECIALLY Nurse and Legion. Those were terrible to try and get.

    Plague was one of the harder ones to get adept for because she doesn’t pip very well. One time I killed all survivors and I de-pipped.

    Plague has a lot of unique builds to run. I usually stick with BBQ, Ruin, M&A, and Thantaophobia. A pretty basic build. I heard Dying Light is very good on her.

    Definitely not looking forward to the reset tbh.

    I use BBQ&C, Ruin, Infectious Fright, and Discordance. When I get more comfortable with her I'll drop Ruin.

    killer tier.png

    Keep in mind this is for PC

    S Tier - Ol' reliables

    A Tier - Good enough

    B Tier - Good enough, but on condition

    C Tier - Less than good enough

    D Tier - Can be used, but why

    E Tier - Turn back now, oh ye faint of heart

    F Tier - BHVR forgot them and here they lie

  • PigMainClaudette
    PigMainClaudette Member Posts: 3,842

    I get lag across the board. Survivor and killer. Again, that's mainly because of Australian NBN.

    And I know that Plague's easy to hit. I've been against her quite a bit.

    The best killer in the rank will be in the beginning. And this is after the patch for Chapter 14


    SS

    1. The Spirit

    S

    1. The Ghost Face
    2. The Oni

    A

    1. The Hillbilly
    2. The Huntress
    3. The Wraith
    4. The Trapper
    5. The Nightmare
    6. The Demogorgon

    B

    1. The Nurse
    2. The Shape
    3. The Hag
    4. The Clown

    C

    1. The Plague
    2. The Doctor
    3. The Pig

    D

    1. The Legion
    2. The Cannibal


    The Spirit

    She has really good pressure and mind game skills. She is scary to go against and unless you look for 5 minutes straight to know for sure she is garbage you probably won't get away.


    The Ghost face

    He also has good pressure and mind game skill. The reason I put him lower is because you could look at him and get rid of his ability, but he could have you 99'd so that's still there. Plus he can crouch at looks that have tall rocks so you don't know where he is going.

    The Oni

    It's kinda like a hillbilly I'll give them that. He can go sometimes faster than him and he can do so without having penalty for running into objects and he can pull his weapon up really fast and insta down. And at the start if you hit 2 healthy survivors you have your power already so.


    The Hillbilly

    He is one zoomy boi and can sometimes mind game at loops and a really good Hillbilly can time his chainsaws right. he also has that pressure unless you are bad (Don't worry, you will get better)

    the Huntress

    If you can't aim your hatchets it might not seem good to you, but she is scary if you know how to aim her hatchets. If you are good at cross map sniping that puts pressure on the survivors. Shes not the best at chases, but her hatchets make up for that. Also she is FUN to play (for me)

    The Wraith

    he is also really fun to play as well as if you are a good wraith you can really put pressure on survivors. he is one of my mains for fun and because I lime sneaking up on survivors. If survivors don't pay attention you could get a first hit on them and maybe a second.

    The Trapper

    His traps alone puts pressure on the survivors and can end a loop at the start because survivors step in his traps and sometimes he can trap survivors even when not in chases.

    The Nightmare

    With his buff he became really good (Not insanely good, but enough worth playing him) and can put some decent amount of pressure on survivors. He extends his arm when lunging (jk) and can end chase quickly.

    The Demogorgon

    He can put pressure on survivors if you know where to put his portals. His lunge can also end chases if you know when to do it. I put him on the bottom of A tier cause you could swerve around his shred. Additional pressure is put when survivors cleanse his portals cause they cant see if he is coming or not and he can know if you are cleansing his portals.


    The Nurse

    She is some what good, but the new nurse doesn't put a lot of pressure like the old one did. You can still end chases really well, but overall new players to Nurse won't be able to get better at her now that this is the thing now

    The Shape

    Idk what it is, but most shapes are fairly easy to 360. He does put some pressure, but not really for me. In tier 3 he can end chase more quickly, but survivors can know if you 99d the stalk and can run away earlier. He is decent at most.

    The Hag

    idk when I play as her I feel like I don't put a lot of pressure and when I place a lot of traps I'm always to far away to teleport to them. no Im not ranking her higher because she has a good perk which you know what it is. She is slow and I don't like that. You can end chase quickly if you have traps ahead of time.

    The Clown

    He doesn't put any pressure whatsoever, but he can end chases faster. Not really fast, but faster. He also moves surprisingly fast for a fat man. hes meh


    The Plague

    I like to play her for fun, but if I'm trying to rank up I can't. She does put pressure by either corrupt purge or one shot down the whole game. She is good at tracking, but unless she has corrupt purge she is not the best at ending loops. She is fun, but not good.

    The Doctor

    He isn't good, just annoying. He can end chases if you shock right and maybe a little bit of pressure, but overall he is just annoying HEH HEH HEEEH.


    The Pig

    You would be lucky if you could get a trap to go off. She is slow while crouched and can't really stop loops. She can hide her terror radius and be undetectable, but that's the only thing she is good with.


    The Legion

    He is bad. No map pressure and again is annoying, but at least with doctor you can put a little pressure. Legion is a laughing stalk. I'll say why is better than cannibal. he wastes more time than him (The survivors do cause they also have to mend).

    The Cannibal

    He is made for camping and I don't like camping so I'll give the big thumbs down. No map pressure and isn't good in loops. yeah he can destroy pallets faster if he times his chainsaw right, but what then? they get to another loop and they might not even throw it down so you just get looped.
