Killer Rankings as of Patch 3.4.2
I feel the top 5 and bottom 4 are for the most part undeniable. This takes into account the possible builds you can do with each killer as well. In my opinion, Plague is underrated and Oni is complete garbage (the 2 I feel will cause the most controversy on this list). Feel free to give your thoughts and opinions below, but keep it friendly!
Note: from what I know about the upcoming Doctor changes, I'm guessing he will be bumped up to a C. I think the changes will buff him, but not by much.

Clown should be in D tier, and switch Wraith and Plague. Other than that, solid list.

Put Clown in D tier and bring Doctor up to C tier. Doctor can be good once you have his shock timing down and account for how buggy the stun is.
Also put Hag and Freddy in front of Billy.
0 -
Yes keep underrating the Hag please, I'll never have to worry about her being nerfed
May my dark magics remain a secret
Other than that, I still can't see Ghostface above Hag, Huntress or even Freddy. Not when his strongest playstyle is hard countered by a perk that's not even that rare, and soft countered by Sprint Burst.

Can someone make a list for console? On Console, Nurse is D-tier and Doctor/Pig/Leatherface move up a little.
0 -
Oh, and Oni is absolutely not C tier, even without his flick. He's at the very least B. Just because he's not disgusting like he was in the PTB anymore it doesn't mean he's bad. He has map pressure AND an instadown in his power, that's more than half the cast already.

Trapper is way too low, especially with someone who can play him to the best of his ability. I have more kills with Trapper than any other killer. He is a machine when his traps hit, and if you know how to play him, you can almost always make his traps hit. Everything else looks good, though I disagree with the Plague. She is just a fan favorite and isn't as strong as people want her to be. She just doesn't earn enough blood points to even be worth playing in her current state.

Freddy and Hag are better than Ghostface.

@The_Second_Coming & @SnakeSound222 Clown was a hard pick for me, as he was either top of D or bottom of C. Doctor is currently too jank because of dedicated servers (at least for me). @gantes @Ghoste I do think in the right hands Hag can be powerful, but against good survivors I feel she stands so little a chance. If she gets a basement hook it can shift the tides a bit, but I find she performs the best against careless survivors or potatoes. And Ghost Face is honestly really viable with the ability to shut his TR off whenever. He works like the Spirit at that point where he can really mindgame survivors at loops. These are just my reasons why I placed these killers where they are.

Nurse should be A or B. People keep looking at the top 1% of Nurse killers but the other 99% Nurse players are not good. I definitely think Spirit/Freddy are better than Nurse.
I agree with how Oni is rated atm but once he gets his buff where he can turn better at the end of his charge he can be B+ easily.
Hag should be higher, it doesnt take much to learn good trap placement and she can do well with map pressure and shutting down chases.
2 -
@gantes it might be a more personal thing against Oni, but I think he is the most awkward killer to work with. He has almost no whip so you basically have to hit the survivor head on with his dash attack. His attack when not dashing is literally just a worse Leatherface as the control and maneuverability with it just feels all wack.

No, Nurse is definitely S tier. People not being good with her doesn't negate what she is capable of - and she is still the best and most beast killer in the game.
1 -
Huntress is capable of cross map gen shots, doesnt mean it makes her S tier. Just because she is capable of being a beast killer if 99% of Nurses are D to C tier can you really call her an S tier killer?
2 -
That was an awful comparison. OOF. Those are two completely different scenarios. A cross map hatchet from Huntress, no matter how good the player, is entirely RNG and luck based. A good Nurse is entirely skill. She is S tier.
1 -
With the exception of map RNG, hatchet throwing is all skill and is not RNG reliant. Huntress in theory can be a very dominating killer if you land your hatchets but no one is calling her S tier because most Huntress' are not that skillful. I dont like the idea of ranking a killer so high up because in theory they are really good when in reality most are not. Before her nerf i could understand her high ranking but these days i have never seen an overpowering Nurse. Freddy/Spirit/Billy/Ghostface are all killers that have given me more trouble.
2 -
All killers can be at least b tier if used correctly.
0 -
Wraith should be top tier with nurse.
0 -
Why?
1 -
Some of her add-ons along with perks can get her up to 190 percent while steathed. I was watch Wraith speed builds. There is so much map pressure because she's everywhere.
0 -
No chase potential though. That's only one build as well.
Lots of map pressure is good, but you have to be able to finish chases quickly. Otherwise, you are just an Iri Button Legion :/
0 -
Well that's when the mind games and mooning walking start. :P
0 -
Then he isn't any better than Myers or GhostFace. He gets easy first hits but he struggles to down anyone.
2 -
@Quol the Nurse/Huntress comparison does not make sense. A good Huntress can still be looped and ran around by good survivors. A good nurse literally eliminates the effectiveness of pallets for good survivors. Yes not all Nurse's are good, but the ones that are good show how much potential Nurse has when played correctly.
@Immoral First off Wraith is a he not a she. Second off just because he can be fast doesn't mean he's powerful. Hillbilly is fast too and can actually attack right away while Wraith has to uncloak. Wraith has potential, I just don't feel he is viable enough. He is essentially a weaker Ghost Face at base.
@Zoldyar given a good team of survivors there are killers that are generally hopeless and stand no chance. The only killers that can overcome that situation are the A's and Nurse. The rest either have to really rely on capitalizing on mistakes or the player's ability to control the situation.

Clown is the worst killer, doc is in his place and hag is a tier
0 -
Sprint Burst doesn't counter him silly.
0 -
Clown is D, Demo is B. Other than that, solid list.
0 -
I know that tierlist are a opinion based thing so you can't be wrong, but i heavenly disagree Legion being bottom tier
Looks to me that you just jumped the bandwagon of Legionisbad without even trying them
I never understood how people rate Plague at B and Legion thrash tier while if survivors don't cleanse (which they usually don't) they do the same thing except Legion does it faster
0 -
Agreed. Legion is at least C tier.
0 -
- Fair Nurse is a guessing game. The cooldown punishment for guessing wrong is harsh. I would never put gambling at the top. And thats why in my tier list she is below Huntress (D tier).
- Spirit is slow, but she can be effective at downing survivors. I agree that without map control she is 2nd best killer.
- Billy has the best map control and 1-shot power. His map control also allow to cherry pick weak players, but, if a survivors team is strong, he become m1 killer. (m1 tier)
- Ghost Face shine on maps with a lot of obstacles, but, at the same time, its his weakness. If its easy to spot him, his power become near useless. (m1 tier)
- Freddy has all tools to be a good killer, so I rated him top tier.
- Huntress is slow. She has slower movement speed, her hatchets slow her down further, she need to waste time going to lockers, reloading and there are many places where without good add-ons she is too slow and unable to use her power. It is fair to put her under the Spirit.
- Hag can be bullied, thats why I rate her m1 tier.
- The Plague is "Hit or Miss". You can use the addons that allow to activate her machine gun once, but, if you wont find survivors or miss, you will become m1 again. D:
- Myers is m1, because he has no tools to help him in chase and his power can take too long to charge.
- The rest have no tools to win chases, too.
0 -
6/10 in accuracy.
0 -
Trying to use pallets on nurse is dumb and you deserve to die if you try. Her true weakness is open field jukes, sprinting in a straight line and hiding behind stuff she can't blink through.
0 -
Wraith is A tier tho
0 -
Would put trapper in B tier but would move to A tier if he started with 2 traps
0 -
Clown is not D he is underrated, more like B or like the list says C. Perhaps he is bad on PC what do I know.
0 -
First question why is clown above pig
0 -
You're kidding
0 -
@Sonzaishinai I have played Legion a bit. I find his power to be the most useless (debatable with Pig), but he is not pre-rework Freddy bad. I think Legion is the most in need of either a few QoL buffs or a power overhaul. His last few changes both gave and took from him, leaving him in about the same position as he was. While a good player can do well with Legion, he is just another standard M1 killer.
@premiumRICE if you think he is A tier then power to ya. I personally don't think he is and don't want others to because he needs something (not sure what) to actually make him viable. I see Tru3 likes to say that Wraith is viable, and while he may be one of my favorite DBD streamers I strongly disagree with him on the whole Wraith being viable thing.
@terumisan Clown can actually handle loops properly. Pig has traps that are for the most part useless and a dash attack that blows. Her only upside is using the crouch to sneak up to survivors for free hits.

4/10.
-Spirit's still S
-Switch GF and Hag
-Huntress is A
-Switch Oni and Plague
-Switch Pig and Clown
-Demo in B
Fixed it.

Wraith has the exact mechanic that ghostface has, only he is actually cloaked(harder to detect) and has a lot of speed to patrol gens and do actions. If ghostface is A tier then Wraith has the right to be too.
0 -
Ghostface can prep targets for instadown and doesn't have to spend time "uncloaking" before he can swing.
Not saying I think Ghostface should be in A tier with those guys, but he's definitely better than Wraith who definitely doesn't belong there.
0 -
Lmao ghostface above Myers? Trash list
0 -
I would drop Nurse in A, Freddy and Ghost Face in B, Huntress in C and Clown in D or even E/F as the worst killer in the game.
0 -
Put Pig and Plague below Freddy, and make an F tier for Leatherface and Oni.
0 -
Unsure about Nurse, demo because they aren't played very often, Oni might be lower.
From the perspective of someone without infinite add-ons, this is it imo.
0 -
expose ghostface is not even a thing in red ranks, its just a m1 killer and get looped into abyss.
stealth is meta cause it doesnt require you as killer to loop.
Btw why should he be better than wraith?
0 -
That's not how GF gameplay is at all. I'm starting to suspect you don't play at red ranks.
0 -
And if you say it, you must be right, especially considering your peak comment is "you're kidding".
Maybe its time to start up the game and learn it for real, what do you say?
0 -
@premiumRICE Ghost Face is better than Wraith since he doesn't have to come out of stealth to attack. He also has a instadown ability. His Night Shroud acts as a tracker as well if someone ends up looking in his direction. Wraith may have speed, but only with add-ons is his speed good enough to pressure gens. Wraith could arguably be in B tier, but I don't see him being strong enough to go high up in the list like Ghost Face.
0 -
I agree addons play a big part in wraith strenght but the thing is even yellow addons are strong enough, again both of them dont need to initiate a chase since with even yellow addon wraith is unpredictable, also uncloaking gives speed boost.
tbh the gf instadown will never work against good survivors and I dont feel it as threatening as wraith
0 -
i'd put oni in atleast B tier,he can snowball pressure fast with his ability.You might lose 2 gens,but you can get 3 downs with his ability if you actually have experience with him.
