What killer should I buy?

[Sparky]

I didn't want for a long time to invest in auric cells, but it seems I have no choice. I played the game only with the "free" killers, Huntress being my favorite.
What killer should I buy? I would like to buy the Plague (Plag) from my point of view it seems she has a similar gameplay as the Huntress.
Any suggestions/advice?

[Whatever]

Spirit of course, is it even a question? The most powerful killer there is, can't be countered and easy to learn.

demogorgon is like super agresive huntress. Pig is unique and fun. Plague seems good on paper but trust me shes not worth it in terms of fun value

Actually. I think Nurse is still the top tier. Despite the change coming to Nurse. But Spirit is still a good killer. More so against survivors who refuse to play differently vs her compared to most of the other killers. IE the worst thing you can do against her lol.

Since you enjoy playing as Huntress, Plague and Clown could be fun, too. They might not be as strong as Huntress but still mid tier. Myers (The Shape) is also quite fun, allows for a bit more creativity in playstyles.

If you want a strong Killer, then the obvious pick would be the Spirit.

Yea I would have to say if you are looking for a killer that is fun to play. Myers is for sure a good choice since there is a lot you can do with his stuff.

If you want good perks get Leatherface, Lisa (Hag) or Spirit. Actual playing any other killer. I'd suggest you watching a tier list video. If you want a good killer then buy spirit. Stealth : Amanda, Ghostface or Myers.

I suggest Leatherface for BBQ instead of the obvious Spirit/Plague gameplay choices. Maybe try out legion too, he definitely is fun to play.

Clown is nothing like Huntress playstyle and I would strongly not advise anyone to buy it, as he is one of the worst killers in the game right now.



Op, if you want a similar killers there are only 2 right now and they are more of a hybrid of Huntress with other killers rather than the a similar killer concept.

Demogorgon is like a short ranged version of Anna, but you are the hatched (quicker charged too) but you cannot reach over obstacles.

Plague has 2 modes, m1 with perma broken debuff due to vomit (counters healing and insta heals completely), if survivors cleanse themselves, then you can become an aoe Huntress on steroids, but no good survivor will cleanse, thus you will spend a lot of time in m1 form with all survivors being injured 24/7.



If you want however easy games where you dont need to try hard so much and get kills without much of an effort, buy spirit. She is currently the strongest killer in the game (Yes, stronger than the nurse), due to having least amount of counter plays and massive amount of mind games you can do to survivors without trying to think too much.

Avoid Pig, clown and legion, they are the worst killers in dbd right now, unless you like their concept.

As someone who is still fairly new (only about 60hrs of play) I'd suggest Clown, Freddy, or Demogorgon. I too love Huntress, but I found Clown to be more fun for me and he has mostly become my main through rank 11. Now that I'm pushing upper ranks I fall back to Huntress or Freddy a little more but honestly those are my favs. Only killers I don't own are Shape, Plag, Pig, and Legion. I'll prolly pick up Shape for Halloween though.

Where did I say they have the same playstyle?

You said clown could be fun due to him enjoying Huntress and because of that, it would be comparable to assuming you meant playstyles were similar.

I thought Clown was close enough that by watching gameplay of him on youtube I decided to pick him up. I like Huntress myself and find Clown enjoyable to play. With the right addons and perks he is very viable in upper tier ranks, granted still weaker then Huntress/Spirit/Nurse/Billy. His throwing mechanic is similar to Huntress, it just doesn't hurt or down a survivor. It can however make them exposed and give other affects. I say if your on the fence about a killer, go watch some gameplay on yourtube. See which ones appeal to you and then make your choice. Everyone here is going to have their own different picks for "top tier" and "worst" killers. I think the only killer everyone can agree on is Leatherface being the current weakest lol. I personally hate Billy and won't touch him, even for dailies, but most people consider him a most have choice.

I'd go for spirit because she's undoubtedly the second best (if not the best, since nurse will be nerfed) killer in dbd.

Exactly, and I watched a lot of YouTube videos with this style of gameplay (I'm talking about the Plague) which I enjoy it. I think it's soothing with the nurse perks (thanatophobia) because I'm used with them when I run Huntress.

Regarding Demogorgon, I never thought of it like you said, but it's a valid point. That jump can replace the Huntress hatchet, I think you made me curious to look more in the Demogorgon gameplay.

Thank you all for your answers! They are really helpful!
One thing is clear : Spirit is the way to go, because she's the best killer. My drawback toward her are actually my skills. I'm not the best killer player, I play around the 15-14 ranks. Myers is second best and I'll consider him!

Regarding Leatherface and Hag, yes I would have spend the auric cells only for the perks, but I have them bought from the shrine of secrets (got BBQ & chilly, got ruin, got Franklin's demise). I'm not very keen of Leatherface because I said above, his strength comes with camping and I don't want that. Even though I camp when I play with toxic and bullies survivors...but that's another story.
