19-The Mastermind: The Mastermind is so good, but it is heavy on map and loop and the player, but with the ability, it’s really good. He gains the ability to dash twice in a row, causing him to be fast, however, his terror radius is the biggest out of all killers, probably cause his movement is fast with a dash. The other part of the ability is that he can instant down survivors if they are fully sick. Survivors get sick if they get grabbed during the Mastermind’s dash. Sadly this gives survivors another killer item which is a spray can, which can cure them fully so the sickness is pointless.
18-The Shape: Michael Myers is a very good killer, and he is just a killer to go against as well. He has the stalking ability which after staring at a survivor for a long time, he can reach Tier 3 where he can instant down any survivor for 1 minute straight. This can change all aspects of the game causing all survivors to try and survive a minute. Most survivors don’t survive the minute and allegedly just go down and change all chances within the game. They can pop Tier 3 as much as possible, but sadly he has a limit if all survivors are fully stalked up and can no longer be stalked.
17-The Ghost Face: Ghostface has the same ability as Michael Myers except instead of all survivors being affected by an instant down, he can only stalk one survivor at a time. If he stalks that survivor for a certain time, that survivor can instantly go down. The reason it’s higher than Michael is because you can stalk a survivor as much as you want. Sadly the only way to stalk is to go stealth mode and if a survivor sees you, you get out of stealth mode, but still pretty worth it better than Michael.
16- The Dredge- The Dredge is so good, but doesn’t do much as other killers in the game. He can make the entire game completely dark where survivors can barely see anything in the game. Causing him to a be killer where he can jump scare people while people are in the darkness. His darkness also causes the sound of screaming children, which ultimately makes him scary. His other power is that he teleports to any locker on the map, but the survivors can lock the locker, which stuns the Dredge for a short period before he breaks it.
15- The Artist: The Artist can send crows after people, and her crow attack ignores all obstacles until it reaches the end of the map. It’s most common to send crows to generators cause most of the survivors will always be there. If a survivor gets hit by the crow attack, they get a swarm of crows around them. A survivor can get into a locker to remove the swarm or do it manually which takes longer. If a survivor already has a swarm and gets hit by another crow attack it will count as a hit. The crow power is meant to get a lock on a survivor’s location or to close certain parts of a loop causing a killer to be in a dead-end spot.
14- The Executioner: Pyramid Head can shoot out barbed wire toward the survivor and ignores all obstacles when shooting the barbed wire. His other part of the ability is that can make a trail of barbed wire, if a survivor steps on it the Executioner can use his secret abilities on the survivor. If a survivor gets unhooked once and down again you can send him to a spike box, which just works as another hook, if you don’t send them to the spike box you can kill them with the mori animation causing them to die without a hook. The only counterplay to him is just to be careful with your movement and make sure to keep track of what he always does.
13- The Deathslinger: The Deathslinger aka Billy Rae Cyrus can shoot his gun when on sight and if he hits survivors he can reel them into him. He is a range killer which already makes him good, but what makes him a good range killer is that the bullet is so small, he can hit survivors through small cracks. However, if the survivor breaks the change before being reeled in they still suffer from mending, so you are guaranteed to get something out of your shot. The only counter to him is if some loops are hard to reel in, which means he can’t get the hit, but still, there’s less chance for that to happen
12- The Huntress: The Huntress is one of those killers that can easily make survivors lose a healthy state. Her ability is just throwing hatchets, which causes her to hit survivors far. It’s basic, but the sad thing is that everyone can easily be skilled by a Huntress. Huntress does not need that much time to hit perfect shots from afar, which is why she is so far below on the list. Other pro players have slowly thrown hatchets across the map and still managed to hit survivors which is honestly insane. Her counter is none, it’s a guaranteed hit as soon as she chases you, and she’s a basic killer that can easily be mastered which I love.
11- The Hillbilly: Hillbilly is like The Cannibal, except his chainsaw is like the rush dash like The Mastermind. With the newest update on January 30, 2024, he got an update where instead of his update overheating and being on cooldown, it’s now a benefit to use your chainsaw more, because of overcharge. Overcharge is like his normal dash but faster, he also got another update where he doesn’t easily bump into things. He had an issue where a tiny obstacle could stop his chainsaw, but with the update, he slightly slid off and continued the chainsaw rush. This means that he constantly runs around the map, and if he hits you it’s an instant down. The only counter is nothing, as soon as he approaches you it’s over for you and you are guaranteed to go down one way or another.
10- The Blight: Along with the same update he is just insane he’s another rush killer, but the rush is meant for it to be harder to turn. With the new update, they throw that out the window, now the new Blight can easily turn while he rushes, meaning chases are gonna be less than a minute long. The game can easily be less than 10 minutes going against a good Blight, so there might not be any counter to this.
