Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical 4vs1 survival horror game. A team of survivors fight a single assassin in a desperate fight for survival. But since you're here, I assume you already know. You may not be aware that there is a significant difference in power between some of the best and worst assassin characters in the game.

nivel S

The crème de la crème, the top of the list Dead by Daylight Killer. They offer a significant advantage compared to anyone at lower levels. When in capable hands, there is very little the Survivors can do to achieve a victory.

Nurse

The nurse is just an absurd force. And his supremacy won't end until Behavior Interactive seriously reworks him. Her ability to blink allows her to go through all solid objects in the game. This allows you to effortlessly ignore climbing through windows and pallets and makes working on complicated structures easier. Which means you render Survivors' main defensive options useless.

This has a price. The nurse is arguably the most complex character to pick, play, and master. She is the only character in the game that moves at 96.25% of her speed. That means you're slower than running Survivor. You have to perfectly blink close to them to offset and hit them. This requires vast knowledge of your abilities and the map around you.

Due to the aforementioned perks, the Paramedic is the best assassin in all of Dead By Daylight. And if you are interested in playing it, be sure to visit ours.The composition of nurses..

Duh

Spirit, everything about the nurse is reduced a bit. The ghost is easier to pick up and the master requires a lot less map knowledge, but the enemies are also somewhat easier to take on. But that doesn't change the fact that she's at the top of the food chain. Her ridiculous 60% increased movement speed during Phase-Walk allows The Spirit to catch up with anyone who runs with ease.

Even if your loot is placed in a tactical position, say on top of a paddle, waiting for you to drop it on your head. You are invisible during haunting. So they will have to guess in which direction you choose to attack and at what time. Even if they hit well, it takes an impressive amount of reaction time to stop Spirit in place.

And if you are interested in playing The Spirit and experiencing its full power. Then definitely visit ours.Spirit builds/leads.

to the wound

Blight is unique in that he is a constant presence in the game no matter how far away you are from him. After all, he can traverse the entire map in a second thanks to chain runs, bumping into things along the way. Like the old Hillbilly before the developers bugged him with the "overheat" mechanic.

The Blight power is relatively simple compared to the Nurse's Blink. But there are some other characters that require such crazy map knowledge. You have to know every stone, wall and obstacle by heart. Because some hitboxes allow Blight to "cruise" along them, allowing him to make pretty tight turns without hitting a wall. You need to know all the ways the randomly generated map can spread out jungle gyms and how to navigate them using their power if you want to be the ultimate Blight. and they exist37 mapscurrently in the game!

If you want a character you can commit to, someone who requires hundreds of hours of practice to get the most out of their potential. Someone who has virtually no weaknesses at the top of his game. Then you should check out Blight. And to make the most of this potential, be sure to visit ours.Blight Guide/Build!

A level

High tier, good tier, almost S tier. A big, glaring problem preventing anyone from A-Tier to get into S-Tier is just that. They have some kind of "issue" or glitch that a knowledgeable and skilled team of Survivors can abuse to gain an advantage over you. Overall, it's still a very strong and deadly group of characters for this tier of the DBD Killer list.

They

It's really silly when you start reading what his power does. He can traverse the entire map in seconds, similar to Blight and Hillbilly. And it can take out Survivors in one hit instead of the usual two, just like Hillbilly, Cannibal, The Shape, and Ghost Face. But he has almost no downsides compared to any of these characters. He needs a lot less map knowledge than Blight. Unlike Hillbilly and Cannibal, you can crash into any wall and slide down it, while both of you would get dizzy if they ran into obstacles. And Ghost Face and The Shape have to meticulously charge up their power during the match to "turn someone on."

So why isn't it an S level? It sounds incredible. Well he's great...once you collect the blood you should. You have no powers without an injured person on the map. You only have the tools that every other assassin in the game has. 115% movement speed and basic attacks. And many players know it. The good survivors will stay away from you, hide behind the paddles and leave them early. If this happens, most objectives can be completed before you activate your power.once. Of course, all hell breaks loose as soon as Oni powers up. They'll take people down left and right, hook them up, and then if they're rescued, they'll quickly replenish their blood supply, repeating the cycle.

Huntress

The Huntress remains one of the top assassins that has stood the test of time. And despite the few new ranged assassins that have come along over the years, she's still the best by far. Her accessories are simple, so she is easy to pick up. You have five axes and you throw them away. Each one does exactly one health damage, which means two hits guarantee a drop on Survivor. She can easily throw them over medium-height obstacles, making some loops extremely dangerous for Survivors. You can also shoot people all over the map if you know where they are. She only remembers that axes fall into the bow at long distances.

Just because Huntress is easy to pick up doesn't mean she's easy. Its ax throwing physics is completely unique. So you'll have to learn it from scratch, spend a lot of time mastering it, and then those skills won't transfer to other assassins. Knowing the cards inside out also plays a big part in playing this killer. Some cheeky places like boarded up windows or holes in the wall that an ax will go through. Knowing these places will always bring you good results. Also, be aware that there is an obvious problem with your equipment. Survivors running through loops with high walls and interiors are often the Huntress's nightmare. Because you can't guess them if you don't see them.

Verdugo (asesino DLC only)

The Executioner, aka Pyramid Head from the Silent Hill DLC, is a true horror as it should be. Its power, which sends a shock wave through walls or obstacles, is a normal ranged attack. He doesn't have the insane range of any ranged character on this list, of course, but enough to render any loop useless if you're good enough. The executioner can also set "traps" in the shape of his footprints. They stay in place for 75 seconds, revealing themselves to anyone who steps on them. When you send Survivors to the Atonement Cage, you save a lot of time that you would normally spend gathering them up. He seems so solid. So why does he have it "Average" and not higher?

Well, I personally hate using his power. To fire your shockwave, you need to hold down the power button, which causes you to drag your sword across the ground. Then you aim and shoot. The shock wave travels from your position to the end of its range, so you have to account for the projectile's travel time. But when you draw the sword, you don't become as buttery smooth as you normally do. Your turns are suddenly very clunky, like you're turning 15 degrees with each mouse movement. That's why I missed a lot of attacks. And you lose a LOT of time when you fail. You have to learn a lot to know when to "fake" the shockwave and when to commit the attack, hence its "hard" difficulty rating.

Nemesis (assassin paid for downloadable content only)

Nemesis is a very strange assassin. One of the most exclusive on this Dead By Daylight Killers list. Randomness is part of the Dead by Daylight experience. Every time you start a match, you are up against 4 people who can have a wide variety of skills and abilities. You then also enter a randomly selected map siding with either the killers or the survivors. And Nemesis adds another layer of complete randomness with his zombie AI. Sometimes they'll just chase you left and right by spawning in the most perfect spot on the map, ready for a pincer maneuver. Or they will sit in the corner of the map, never contributing anything.

But ignoring the full RNG aspect of its power, you're left with the tentacle slam ability. And this little guy is perhaps one of the most powerful quick tools in the game. The tentacle clears every obstacle in the game that doesn't cover Survivor from head to toe. Just be aware that they can duck behind low cover to avoid it. Your tentacle has almost 0 penalties for missing; it is very forgiving. You can also destroy pallets when you level up your skills during the game. Even very experienced Survivors constantly struggle to avoid it.

The downside is the obvious three hits instead of 2. When you hit someone with your tentacle they get "infected" which gives them the usual speed boost Survivors get when hit by a Slayer. Only when someone is infected does your tentacle deal damage. So you'll always need 3 hits instead of 2 early game unless you ignore his power. And at some point, there's not much you can do with its tentacle because it doesn't go through objects like Pyramid Head's wave. So Killer is simpler overall, but with a much lower ability threshold.

Plague

The plague is unbelievable and you shouldn't believe anyone who says otherwise. I've seen people put the plague on "high C" or "medium B", which I can't disagree with. But maybe I'm biased because I love his style of play. As Plague, you must fight your way back to victory. You save your strength and release the bile that follows the center of your chamber as best you can. When the invisible meter is full, the Survivor will become fully infected. This automatically hurts him and prevents him from healing by any means other than cleaning up his sources. Plague can freely use her power in the middle of chasing someone because the buildup of bile barely slows her down.

When you ingest corruption from a source someone has cleansed, your bile will deal damage instead. Even a drop will hurt someone. If he accumulates a lot of vomit, it becomes almost impossible for Survivor to avoid damage unless he's in a fantastic loop with very high walls. Even then, the odds are against you.

The main flaw is that Plague is a very "reactionary" character. With your enhanced bile, you are a killing machine. Without it, you'll have to hit someone with your basic attack to knock them down because the infection will only hurt, not knock them down. And to get the "power-up" from him, the Survivor must be eliminated. If they choose to stay hurt and never use their sources, and happen to be very good at messing with the Slayer, their options become extremely limited. From then on, you're a skillless assassin against a team of good Survivors.

Artist

The Artist is the latest assassin added to Dead by Daylight. 2 months have passed since his appearance in the chapter of Portrait of a murder. You'd think this would be enough time to "figure it out", but you have to understand that it takes years to find a new "technology" that can make or break a murderer. But as it stands now, I would put it in the A low category.

His ability to gather information is fantastic. You can send ravens to generators all over the map and instantly find out if anyone is there. But don't expect to have a lot of injuries or crashes on the map. Then, when he is in direct combat, the artist can drop a crow in the middle of the cycle, rendering him useless, since he will only hurt him with the "trap" set.

But again, the Artist is fighting good Survivors who make his moves unpredictable. By the time they set the trap, they may already be running towards the next set of obstacles, making their setup pointless. You will eventually catch them or you can strategically corner the Survivors. But you can waste enough time in the process that you lose the game later.

nivel B

The "fine" level. There is nothing wrong with these characters, but you are expected to play with these assassins if you want to see any real results. Everyone in this segment of my Dead By Daylight Killers list is perfectly viable, but expect the Survivors to hit back BIG.

Witch

Witch, in my heart, should be higher on the list. But I personally don't like her play style. It's too slow for me. But this is a personal preference. Witch is VERY strong when you master zone creation with your power and strategically push Survivors into them.

His "traps", the mud marks he draws on the ground, are very difficult to see on most playing surfaces. You can also teleport to them from a considerable distance. Thus, The Hag is one of the few assassins in the game that can hunt down a Survivor and then, when the trap is triggered, teleport to defend someone on the hook or near the generator.

She is incredibly oppressive when played right. She doesn't require a lot of mechanical skill, but she does require card knowledge, strategic chokes, and a fair amount of strategic thinking.

Twins

"Prepare for trouble and double it." The Twins are Killer again, which I personally downgraded from "Low/Mid-A" to "High-B" because I don't find Victor and Charlotte all that satisfying to play. But the potential of this character in the hands of a drawing enthusiast is incredibly high.

Victor in particular is a real threat. He is extremely short, so he cannot be easily detected. And more importantly, he doesn't have a terrorist radio or other sound effects/music to give away his position. The only exception is his growl, which you often hear when he attacks you from a fair distance.

You can easily set up pincer maneuvers by pushing Survivors into an idle Charlotte with Victor and switching between the two. You can bring Victor down to reveal any enemies near the immobilized Survivors. Both information gathering and activities are easy for these two. And they are not difficult to pick up and play.

The Cenobite (assassin paid for downloadable content only)

Cenobite, aka Pinhead, is decent. But only politely. One of the things this assassin has is that you don't have to do anything to get the upper hand. The Lament setup helps you by simply existing. If the Survivors ignore this, they will be faced with a chain hunt which is extremely annoying and slows down the progress of the generator. And if someone picks it up, you can instantly teleport and start a chase with that person. No matter what the Survivors do, thanks to this you will eventually find them.

But his pursuit tool, Obsessed Chain, is mediocre. All the hunters above him and even some below him have much more effective powers. You have to be extremely precise to get minimal returns (unless you are using some broken plugins). And therefore I cannot say it more in good faith.

Demogorgon (Paid Assassin for DLC only. Not available to purchase as of November 17, 2021)

Demogorgon, or better boi, is perhaps the most balanced assassin in Dead by Daylight. So there's no better place than right in the middle of my Dead By Daylight Killers list.

His portals allow him to press multiple points on the map due to the threat of teleporting. His shredded thrust attack is a great tool that allows you to "rush" and hit someone from a fair distance while losing precious seconds if you miss.

On the other hand, Survivors can easily ignore these portals or seal them. And its sharp attack is lively and relatively easy to draw in most settings. So it will almost always come down to who can perform better in any given situation.

Gordani

Hillbilly used to be Grade A. A real threat. true terror. But not anymore. He can still cross the map in seconds and catch you off guard. He's still one of the best characters to "patrol" spawners, so the late game against him on open maps is unforgiving. But now he has to deal with an unnecessary overheating mechanic. This limits how long he can use his chainsaw before it cools down.

You can act on it. The instant chainsaw from him is still terrifying. But its significantly reduced overall map pressure puts it at Low-B or even lower, depending on how you feel about it. Not to mention, playing him on the starting maps is one of the most frustrating games Dead by Daylight has to offer.

Cannibal (assassin paid DLC only)

Cannibal, also known as Leatherface. He is easy to learn and "master". He has a toned down version of the Hilbillys chainsaw. Which is sometimes a good thing! Because he is going slower, his turning radius is much larger. This means that he can much more easily control removing him with a chainsaw. He is also the only Killer in the entire game who can instantly take down an entire team of Survivors if all the stars align.

Also, it's easy to play against him. Survivors just have to deliver structures with windows to keep their chainsaw whirring uselessly. Unless you play the Giga-brain mind game. Again, he's a bit worse at his job than the other runners on the list. Sorry Bubba, but this is as high as you can find on my Dead By Daylight Killers list.

level C

Now we get into the segments of my Dead By Daylight Killers tier list that contain characters I find unfeasible. Choosing any assassin of this level puts you at a disadvantage in the game, so you should avoid it. Unless you're particularly fond of an Assassin from now on due to its unique visual design or creative powers, it's best to forget about them. Also, you can defeat any assassin and achieve success with him/her. But aside from putting in a LOT more effort while playing any of the C and D levels.

Nightmare (paid killer for downloadable content only)

Nightmare is just a combination of weak powers. You have pseudo-stealth because it is only visible from a medium distance, enough for the survivors to make a quick escape. His traps are bright red and can only be triggered while sleeping, making them useless against good Survivors. He then has a teleport ability that you can cancel to scare him away from the generator or use it to travel around the map. This is the most useful, but it goes on a long cooldown every time you use it.

He is too resourceful with a wide range of mediocre abilities. Why play him when you can play a great hunter or trap killer? I guess someone who really has stealth. Anyone above him on this Dead By Daylight Killers list will do a much better job.

The Ghost Face (paid killer for downloadable content only)

Ghost Face might just be the best assassin in the Dead By Daylight worst assassin category. Its stealth-focused gameplay is a significant advantage early in the game when no one knows who they're up against. He can sneak up on Survivors, grab them from generators, fill up their Stalk meter.

But it quickly goes downhill when the cat is out of the bag. During the chase, you don't have valuable abilities to corner the Survivors, which means long games of capture with one of them. Of course, this is very bad for you, since the other three survivors are free to complete objectives, heal, go berserk, and whatnot. It can be very threatening, especially on internal maps. But most of the time it really won't be.

death eater

Deathslinger took a significant nerf a few patches back. Previously, he could fire his weapon almost instantly thanks to the "quick point". But now he takes a second to go into "target mode". This change destroyed the potential of him. Now you can't take as many shots as before in the chase. And just like every other Dead By Daylight Killers tier list, I have to take it down due to these changes.

He's still one of the most dangerous 1v1 assassins out there, but he used to be the absolute king. Other than that, he has nothing. No pressure on the map, no ability to move. This means that 75% of the enemy team is not under pressure for most of the game, which quickly spells doom for him.

Doctor

The Doctor is kind of interesting. His power makes it impossible for Survivors to hide from him. He covers a significant part of the area around him, and when he hits a Survivor, he makes them scream, revealing his location. This often surprises survivors because no one has such a good tool for finding hidden survivors. He might just be one of the best survivor hunters on this entire Dead By Daylight Killers list.

Outside of this unique and powerful suit, the Doctor is mediocre AT BEST. His power takes a while to recharge and he doesn't help you much in the chase. Anyone outside of beginners will simply run straight away from you as soon as they see you charging up his discharge ability. And since it doesn't slow their movement, but the charge slows yours, you just lost distance from them. Prevents Survivors from using decks and windows for 2.5 seconds when hit. But it's rarely useful even against mediocre Survivor players.

Ghost

The Wraith, like The Ghost Face, has the advantage of being a stealthy assassin. This allows him to put God Feat on Survivors and get some early game hits thanks to the element of surprise. And just like Ghost Face, as soon as the cat is out of the bag, everything goes downhill.

The Wraith has some saving graces. When unmasked, you still move much faster for a few seconds, which can help you hit survivors who think they're safe behind a fallen platform. But still, the power of Wraith doesn't offer you anything significant when going after Survivor. And unlike Ghost Face, he can't kill Survivors with a single shot, making for a much shorter chase. Therefore, it lands near the bottom of level C.

Impostor

Trickster is a lot of fun to play, in my opinion. There's something so satisfying about throwing your glass blades. And hear him laugh like a psycho when he hurts someone. He even laughs when someone gets kicked out of the game; How fun is that?

But he never enters a match because he expects great results or easy games. Cards with high walls are a challenge for assassins like The Huntress, but they destroy The Trickster. When you catch someone out in the open like The Trickster, you can quickly take him down with all of his health. His Main Event ability is fantastic, but I swear you'll never have it when you need it. Since you have to build a meter for it, you have 30 seconds to use it before it runs out, and you have to build it again.

Play other distant characters if you want results. Play this one for awesome fashion and awesome background music.

Legion

Legion is C-tier only because I have a soft spot for it. In the eyes of inexperienced players, he is the most powerful assassin in the game, but a complete joke to everyone else. The power of him always gives you the first hit for free. It's hard to go wrong and not hurt someone with Feral Frenzy. But then you are completely powerless for the rest of the game. You can basically attack just like anyone else in the game. Legion is just a waste of time. It's sad because I love rushing people in Feral Frenzy.

D-level

Choosing any assassin of this level puts you at a serious disadvantage in the game, so it's best to avoid it. Unless you're particularly fond of a killer here for some reason, it's best to forget them all. Just the end of my short Dead By Daylight Killers list. Reserved for the worst killers.

The Shape (asesino solo DLC)

The Shape is probably one of the best assassins in the game if you want to mess around. You can harass people by making them have heart attacks. Which gets fun with some of her accessories. He looks hilarious walking on the moon. It's great material for memes. And he was the first Killer added to Dead By Daylight from the already famous horror franchise.

So, on the not so bright side. He is horrible. Please do not play it for any reason other than the above. It might be a threat due to some nasty OP attachments. But without them, it takes so long to get to Evil Within Tier 3 that most of the game is over by then and you have 60 seconds of absolute pressure. Michael can only attack with his basic attack, which makes him pretty boring when he's played traditionally.

Pig (assassin DLC paid only)

Pig is one of the weakest characters in the Dead By Daylight story. He has no game-breaking plugins. She was never in the targets. She is in the exact opposite situation. Players are currently begging to upgrade her so that she can compete with other assassins. Because right now, judging by this Dead By Daylight Killers list, she's struggling.

She doesn't have any useful powers in the chase aside from her ambush charge, which rarely catches anyone and carries over to many different levels. Seriously, you will never hit anyone who knows what she is doing with this. If you manage to knock someone down, you will trap them in an inverted bear trap. And then one of two things happens. They either remove the trap on the first try or are unlucky enough to run, not remove it after three tries and just die after being knocked down once, which is stupid and disgusting gameplay mechanics. The biggest threat you can create depends on randomness.

Clown

A clown is, well, a clown, a clown, basically a joke. All his power does is slow Survivors down a bit. And then he'll just drop the paddle slashing at you or running straight. And all Clown can do is eat the dust out of him. The clown can be sped up for 5 seconds, which won't help you in most cases.

It has some disgusting accessories. First of all, Redhead's little finger allows you to shoot anyone who is speeding. But other than that, nothing goes well.

Trampero

The Trapper lacks everything great about The Hag. You have to trudge to the randomly generated bear traps, pick them up, and then carry them to a strategic location. For Survivors to disarm it in seconds. A process that will repeat itself like a broken record until you go crazy. Or just frustratingly lose the game. If you like setting traps, scroll down to the witch and read about her. She's Trapper, but better in every possible way.

Because there's a better Trapper in the vein of The Hag and his dog water accessory in general, the Trapper is the worst killer in Dead By Daylight.
