    Trapper. I absolutely suck at dealing with loops and couple of well-placed traps help to alleviate that.

    Also Myers for memes and jumpscares.

    Legion: They need some love

    Myers: I am disgusting when I play Myers

    Freddy: I love his new way of playing.

    Hag! I just like her playstyle, it just feels intuitive for me

    Huntress for the satisfying hatchet hits and Myers for the insta down, when a survivor thinks they are so fine and twerk for me.

    Survivor dying scream may be a good feeling to hear.

    But screaming combined with trap snapping give best feeling.

    Trapper.

    Michael Myers because I love his stealth stalking play style. The jump scares on the scratched mirror build are glorious.

    I don't truly main a single killer, but I've been playing Wraith a lot lately. He was my favorite killer when i first started playing, but I used to get irritated playing him because he felt so weak. Pig was my main for a LONG time after I started playing.

    Oni: Despite his nerfs, I love surprising survivors in the open with his power.

    Myers: Jump scare Myers never gets old.

    Ghostface: Finding weird angles to stalk from can be fun.

    scratched mirror is good and fun till u find good survivors and they ruin the fun.

    Legion cause chaining hits is very satisfying to me

    Wraith is also fun cause you can sneak up on survivors

    I haven't played ghostface yet but i'm sure i'll like his playstyle as well

  • Cetren

    Right now, Oni actually. I've found a surprisingly effective build for him and demon dash can be incredibly satisfying when it actually works.

  • Spooky13

    Wraith: My first true main. I love the bell, and can manage to give survivors a good scare now and then.

    Legion: I like the gameplay of Legion. Hitting all 4 survivors in one chain feels amazing and I love doing it every time.

    Plague: Picked up Plague because I liked her Hallowed Blight outfit. Having everybody Broken is great and Corrupt Purge is the cherry on top.

    Ghostface: Love the Scream Franchise and the stealth aspect along with stalking. Seeing a survivor run around like a chicken without a head after you Mark them is hilarious.

    Demo: Never watched ST, but love the powerful monster vibe Demo gives off. Those roars are amazing.

    Oni: I dunno, I like his cosmetics and power.

    Plague, Huntress, and Myers

    Plague because <3 Vommy Mommy

    Huntress because hatchets are ######### sick and I love hitting braindead survivors on gens from across the map

    and Myers because he was my first killer I actually played and enjoyed. stalking is great and the power you get from having T3 is ######### massive, also tombstone and tuft and hair >:]

    Wraith.

    He's a good boy, love his theme and aesthetics, and he basically has my favourite playstyle ever of quickly and quietly going from survivor to survivor and initiating chases all the time.

    I love the lack of downtime he has.

  • ABannedCat
    ABannedCat Member Posts: 2,529

    Nurse.

    Because I like to be able to tackle any team I come across.

    Also, looping is boring.

  • Cornpopers_Evan
    Cornpopers_Evan Member Posts: 2,428

    Demogorgon

    Why, because it just feels fun to play, plus, when you know what you're doing, it's a very viable killer. Plus it was always my dream to have a monster in game. :D

    Hope your dentist appointment is great today, or as good as going to the dentist can be and I'll talk to you later. :D

    Legion.

    I like the story and the memories on the old Legion and also the gameplay of the new one a bit.

    Maybe a point is also that I had often partys, like I imagine the partys from the Legion were, before the entity had taken them into the fog. And I like such partys and also the memories on them :).

    Spooky Michael is all good and fun until the survivors burn a map offering that beats yours.

  • Dwight_Fairfield
    Dwight_Fairfield Member Posts: 7,031

    Has never happened to me. Of the few times there was another map offering, my one always won out. Boogeyman power cannot be denied.

    Nurse because her skillcap is nearly as high as the survivor skillcap.

  • ASpazNamedSteve
    ASpazNamedSteve Member Posts: 1,784

    You lucky son of a...

    I've had that instance like 4 times and my map offering has literally never won lmao.

    Trapper: I love strategic gameplay and he was the first killer to offer that.

    Wraith: out of the original killers he was always the most interesting to me, so I made myself use him well and I love him to this day.

    Nurse: the high skill ceiling and precision gameplay fascinated me and kept me learning for a long time. Plus you don’t need add ons at all ever so as an economy player she’s excellent - no longer find her fun post rework.

    Hag: See Trapper.

    Legion: I find their power extremely fun to use even if it ends up not being super effective.

    I play most of the killers but the two I play the most are Spirit and Plague. These two are probably the best killers aesthetically that they have created.

    I love the creepy vibe around Spirit and she is very fun to play as. I’ve played her ever since she was released.

    Plague I’ve also played a bunch since she was released. I love that fact that she has free tracking with sick survivors and can counter all healing perks and if they DO cleanse then she gets a strong power. Plus she’s so regal and bougie. She walks like she KNOWS she’s better than you.

    Wraith, because bing bong super lunge 1-hit no chase hook immediately, thanks Make Your Choice.

  • GrootDude
    GrootDude Member Posts: 14,110

    I have five so stay with me! <3

    Leatherface: He was my first P3 killer and I still love this guy no matter how bad people think he is! <3 His chainsaw is great with speed add ons especially if you’re good at hugging but not hitting objects.

    Spirit: I’ve always loved phasing in video games so Spirit is a favorite of mine, I love the tracking and prediction parts of her power.

    Nurse: Even if she got nerfed, I still love blinky girl. <3 Blinking around is really fun for me since I basically love anything magical in games. :)

    Huntress: Hatchet hits are very satisfying and even though I’m on console, hatchets are fun.

    Legion: Stabbing <3

    Hag, but I also play a crapton of nurse and Ghostface. Hag is just fun to place as, even if her movement speed is garbage.

    Oni cause I love it when good killers get nerfed to Oblivion


    Seriously though hag is bae

  • edgarpoop
    edgarpoop Member Posts: 8,369

    Trapper and Hag- I love it when a plan comes together. It feels like you really outsmart the opponent at time

    Ghostface- Stealth and stalk mechanics are ridiculously fun. Love his design.

  • BigShockDoc88

    I've got a couple that I've gotten into recently. They're not "good" but I have a lot of fun with them.

    Doctor- I love being able to ######### with people, especially the addons that add fake pallets and the red stain being transferred behind them. Makes him good for breaking loops by confusing them.

    Clown- Slowing down cheeky survivors and stabbing them is always satisfying.

    Pig- Sometimes, I like to crouch right behind survivors on gens and just stay there until they start running.

    Pig, because she is toooo cute πŸ€—

    Freddy - Never seen A Nightmare on Elm Street but he was the first killer I ever played. Post-nerf and pre-rework, joined the end of November after his release. He may have been a struggle but getting to learn him properly was amazing fun, and I even made rank 1 as him (for me quite a feat, never had the motivation to do it again). Then came his rework and it's just perfect. You can do well without addons or ruin; he's just amazing and I wish every killer was like that. He has good chase potential in snares, funny traps in pallets, map pressure with the projection, stealth with his lullaby and fading in/out of existence. Its just amazing. And the first character I got to P3 50 (was close with Claudette and David).

    Wraith - 2nd killer I ever played, and even though he's weak I loved playing him (I think I just like stealth killers tbh). Not as fun as freddy, pre or post rework, but I still play him from time to time.

    I don't really think I main a Killer. I just like these four more than the rest.

    Doctor - ZZZZZAP!!! HEHEHEHE!!! ZZZZZAP!!! HEHEHEHE!!!!

    Freddy - I didn't really play his first version that much, but I love his rework. His gen teleport can be very scary and it's very satisfying to see a Survivor drop a fake pallet.

    Demogorgon - I love the monster aesthetic. Whenever I hit or Mori a Survivor with him, I'll actually imitate Demo roaring because it's so fun. When he growls after picking up or hooking a Survivor, I'll start moving my mouth around to imitate him.

    Plague - I used to think she was completely garbage, but after playing as her myself, watching other people play her, and with the arrival of the slowdown builds, I'm enjoying her a lot.

  • FJSJ_Lunar

    Legion

    So fun to stab everyone up and zoom around the map. Great character visually and thematically. Great mori. Legion isn't that good, so getting 4ks at red ranks feels good and rewarding.

    I'm one of those people who will play legion no matter what they do to him.

  • Yamaoka
    Yamaoka Member Posts: 4,321

    Bubba is (still) basically the only killer in the game for me since his release. I temporarily mained a few others over the course of the years (Huntress, Doctor and Hillbilly) but at the end of the day Bubba is the only killer I consistently enjoy playing because wildly swinging a chainsaw with 100% movement control is just fun for me.


    The only way to make me play another killer for a longer period of time was if the devs made a flamethrower killer of some type. I really like chainsaws and flamethrowers.

    Wraith - "Ding Ding Dong, would you like some spanking too??"

    and

    Pig - love the jumpscare effect of the ambush and how reverse bear traps stall the game

  • Ajritoka
    Ajritoka Member Posts: 594

    The Trapper, The Doctor, The Spirit, and The Plague.

    I just think they’re neat.

  • Esheon

    Hag - All about the strategy. Shutting down loops, predicting survivor movement, faking people out. The best feeling in the game is when they throw down a pallet, set off a trap, and then vault back into your arms.

    Doctor - I'm just going to quote SnakeSound222... "ZZZZZAP!!! HEHEHEHE!!! ZZZZZAP!!! HEHEHEHE!!!"

    Pig - I actually prefer the crouching/stealth over the traps. I need to start playing Ghostface to see if he would be more fun. Crouching Piggie, Hidden Ghostface.

    Spirit because she is ridiculously overpowered and you don’t even need to be good at Killer to get a 4K.

    I don't really "main" anything but I play more Huntress and Trapper than anything else.

    Trapper because he makes me feel like I have a big bulging brain when everything works out, Huntress because using her hatchets is just really fun and rewarding to me.
