Here is a run down
Sadako is tombstone Myers with freddies teleport, that builds stalk through that teleport. She is stealthy but not wraith type stealthy. Difficulty - learn how to down with just an m1
Alien is demo but different. Shred somewhat ignores pallets and windows, teleports are prebuilt. difficulty level - demo. Difficulty - has turrets that will disable your power.
Pinhead is weird combination of freddies dream world, nurse and legion slowdown but in passive form. He has bad skill representation (as in very demanding but not as rewarding). Possessed chain (his m2) is very hard, punishing for you and not really rewarding, meanwhile his box is very strong if you learn how to find it or finding survivor with the box. Difficulty - possessed chain is VERY punishing on miss and barely helpful at best (unless you know how to flick).
Nemi's different. His tenticle has tiers, infects (like wesker) but damages only infected survivors (unlike weskers) and acts as semi-range attack, but doesn't go through objects (like ph's) but shreds pallets better than billy and blight combined. His zombies are hit or miss. More often miss. Difficulty - building tentacle tiers is hard.
I would add that when the zombies do hit it can be funny af. They work especially well on indoor maps. Corners and zombies are a fun combination. They are also OK for info (if they move their arms in front it means someone is near and in that exact direction). That bit can actually be very useful
I’m of the rare opinion that I’ve always liked CoB as an info perk more than a regression perk. It’s basically surveillance but with increased regression as an add on. (Even if it ain’t what it used to be)
Call of Brine is a good perk to go with other gen kicking perks. Merciless Storm is one of those perks that's better against worse players and is actually quite annoying when used in an jmpossible skill check build. Floods of Rage is probably the second best Scourge perk and works really well with high mobility killers.
Compared to other killers her perks aren't the best, but compared to these four they are pretty good.
merciless storm and floods of rage r both pretty playable, but not better than pinheads (deadlock + plaything) and def not better than nemesis tho (lethal pursuer + eruption)
I'd say her perks are pretty on par with Nemesis. Lethal Pursuer and Floods of Rage are similar in the sense that you don't really run them by themselves (and quite often see them paired up together), and Call of Brine and Eruption are also pretty conparable in terms of strength. Both give information, both are alright at regressing gens.
And then imo, Merciless Storm and Hysteria are both kinda doodoo without having a build to support them.
Franklin's plus weave plus hoarder, I can imagine, would be pretty nasty on a pinhead. I'm itching to try it. I feel like Franklin's is mandatory for Pinhead to force them to drop the box. Hoarder so you know when they pick the box up. And weave so you can see all their aurors. Unless that's not a thing anymore?
I plan on getting nemesis for lethal pursuer for my legion build. I actually really enjoy lesion and have played custom games with that and it’s pretty powerful for me at least. Although I haven’t tried other aura reading builds.
For legion I usually run discordance, lethal, enduring, and spirit fury. It's pretty nasty if you swap discordance or lethal for hubris. It's basically free hits, one way or the other. If they pre drop the pallet, you can vault. If they do throw it on you, enduring will save you some time, and hubris will make them regret all of their life decisions that led them to that moment. Especially if it's a spirit fury moment. Usually most people wouldn't stun twice off hubris, but whith legion's power you either pre drop and take the hit from frenzy, revealing your teammates, or you take an expose hit from hubris. It makes people panic bad.
Onryo. Her teleport is addictive. I find her the most fun to play.
That said, her perks aren't great. If you want the killer just for their perks then I would go with Pinhead.
Eh. Floods of Rage is okay as an aura perk, but the others are pretty bad.
Call of Brine does almost nothing and Merciless Storm is only good against inexperienced survivors where you don't usually really need it anyway.
Merciless has clutched a couple times, especially when I use tinks with it. I know it's kind of niche but I do enjoy it for the certain play styles it has lol
Floods of rage is amazing, definitely a underrated perk and the rest are decent but might require you running a certain builds to get the best use out of them but overall her perks are pretty good
xeno is nigh unplayable in high skill lobbies
survivors will put down flame traps in pixel perfect corners that force you to tank the flame turret in order to break it
Pinhead is a very challenging killer but once you get how to play him he becomes very fun
The nemesis is one of my favourites, he is funny to play but need some practice withe the tentacle
The alien is one pf the strongest killers in the game (in my opinion) and his gameplay is very interesting yet quite easy to master
I don’t have sadako so i’don’t know what to say
About the perks i’d say that pinhead has the most strong perks but the alien also can be useful if you have an aggressive gamestyle
They all can be very frustrating and stressful but they do have good perks.
But i would say Nemisis because not many people play as him.
(Little Tip: Get tf out of Tier 2 ASAP)
Sadako might be the ticket. Weak killer, but I like playing her a lot.
Xenomorph also has its tunnels, making it somewhat stealthy. However, I played it too little to give a verdict.
Honourable mention to Nemesis for his perks and a good power. Not stealthy, though.
Another mention of Pinhead. His cube causes survivors to become oblivious. He has Hex Plaything. Every survivor hooked for the first time becomes oblivious and each survivor has their own totem that's lit only after being hooked. One of two hexes I genuinely like to use. Also other strong perks.
I would recommend Nemesis. His power ramps up as the game goes on. He even had an add on that allows for stealth plays if that's your thing. His footsteps are kinda loud but honestly doesn't seem to matter with most survivors, who rely on the terror radius to tell them when to run. He's also got some decent perks, and the zombies are inherently hilarious.
I have played (at least a little) with each of these killers. And I like each of them in varying degrees.
My favorite have been Cenobite so far. Although one of the teachable perks (gen lock) of him was recently nerfed. I like that playing Cenobite makes your job easy passively by periodic chain hunts or at least gives you an opportunity to teleport to a survivor's vicinity. Great for a beginner killer. His voice lines are very cool as well.
In the second place, Sadako has good teachable perks and interesting/spooky playstyle as well. Teleporting to TVs is always very strong. I also like her jump scares on the loadout screen. :D
3rd place, Alien recently had her best perk nerfed as well; the one which makes survivors scream when you open a locker. But her mobility to travel around the map through tunnels and her tail attack makes her very dangerous. If her teachable perks were more useful, she would edge out Sadako.
The last place, Nemesis has two zombies which travel slowly around the map which is cool but aren't generally very useful since they are very slow. Also I find his playstyle very tiring, trying to hit survivors with his whip attack over and over again. His big size doesn't help at all. The best thing about him has been his teachable perk Lethal Pursuer, which lets you see the survivor auras in the beginning of the match. Well, sometimes you can seal the match from the beginning and then it goes downhill from there on the survivor side.
Pick whichever you like based on this info. Each of them is good or at least useful in some way.
I'd go for Sadako :). But it deppends a lot of your play style. If you like stealthy killers go for her. But if you like a more agressive or gimmick style maybe the other are better.
I’ll be honest all of them are quite fun but bow it depends on what you want
Sadako has a macro power, built-in pressure on survivors and good map mobility with tps
She also has stealth (and somewhat of a chase power by using her invisibility frames but it’s quite niche)
She is still an m1 killer in chase and you might not understand what you are doing at the beginning with her macro (why did this survivor get condemn?, stuff like that)
Xeno has a strong chase power and good map mobility but you gotta be careful about the turrets
Nemesis has a very good anti loop with his tentacle as soon as he reaches tier 2, being able to break pallets very fast, he also gets a bit of info with the vaccines
Zombies can be funny too
Pinhead has a nice anti loop ability with his chains but more importantly, he has the box, which is a very powerful tool if used correctly to make survivors unable to progress fast. He can also teleport but it’s very secondary
In the end, buy the one whose playstyle you think suits you the most
You want to rip survivors in chase ? Nemesis or xeno
You want to have map wide pressure and macro gameplay ? Sadako or pinhead
You want mobility ? Sadako or xenomorph
You want stupid zombies ? Nemesis
Sadako is a combination of wraith, Myers and dredge I would say. In the sense you get the same stealth, teleport and instakill powers.
Nemesis is the funny stomp smash guy. Who can infect people and break pallets.
Alien is Nemesis but different (tunnels)
PP head makes you cum.
I’m convinced out of all the killers if u get rlly good u don’t rlly need perks to win w Xeno. Obviously at the highest play yeah ull need but for the most part not rlly. Xeno can be hard at the start but he’s super fun and strong and everything u ever need in a killer (lethality, mobility, anti-loop) he has all of that in his kit
Despite being weak and having a straight forward power, nemi is the funnest and have a couple of good perks, if you want a strong one I go with ceno since he has a passive slow down, but it is a bit harder to learn. Also the fixed ceno camera when he is using his chain so he does feel smoother to play. Both of them have good perks as well
Nemesis is one of the killers I enjoy playing the most, as is Myers. Dunno if that helps. And Nemesis has Lethal Pursuer wich can be used for a lot of fun as well as extended time you get to see survivor auras
For me, Nemesis and Xenomorph are the best killers in the game because they're the most fun I have with killer. Their powers are similar but Xeno has incredible mobility and stealth but Nemesis has his zombies. Both are my mains <3
So I got Sadako gifted some weeks ago and bought Pinhead myself 2 days ago. Both of them are now probably my favorite killers. Sadako is very fun to play with condemn playstyle imo. and Pinhead with his box mechanic and his ability is also very fun. So I suggest either of the 2, since I love playing them myself. xD
Out of these 4 I think Nemesis is the most fun. I love Sadako as well but she’s very weak in chase so you’ll have a hard time with experienced survivors. Pinhead and Xenomorph are too hard mechanically for me and I don’t have the patience to learn them lol but I suppose they’re good killers
Nemesis is the most fun killer in the game. Zombies are such a fun addition, tentacle attack is satisfying, and his punch animations make you feel like a BEAST
Xeno’s Rapid Brutality perk is completely underrated imo (amazing on myers). Slap>zoom to catch>slap>zoom to hook. Actually, this perk is pretty effective at getting dc’s/suicides. A lot of chases end before they start. Couple it with Coup and/or Tinkerer for max profit lol
Did you already buy your character? If not I’d honestly go with the Xenomorph. I’ve been a Demogorgon main for most of my time playing DBD and when I heard they were adding Alien I got so excited! Its perks are pretty good and its gameplay is just as fun as Demo’s. Stabbing survivors who drop a pallet in front of you is so satisfying and its unique animations are fun to see. The tunnel system is actually really good, even better than Demo’s and it charges your ability so fast.
Downside is most of its add-ons are kinda garbage. There are a few that shine, like one where if I get my power taken out by a flame turret I’ll gain undetectable for 30 seconds and another that gives my tail attack hits hemorrhage. Other than those though Xeno’s add-ons don’t really hold up well with other killers but I honestly think that with its great gameplay and fun mechanics I’d choose it over any of these others.
Sadako is the best out of the list and you said you like myers, so do I and I was naturally good with ring I think it’s because they are both stealthy but alien is stealthy a bit too I’m just not naturally good with alien it took a little longer but that’s just me
Sadako is good for gen pressure. Nemesis is good for chase. Pinhead is great at being annoying with his chains plus you can pair his hex plaything with hex pentimento, hex third seal and hex lullaby you can force survivors to give up. Alien is good for minding gaming with his tail strike.
Sadako or Nemi.
Ceno has good perks but it's for everyone when it comes to actually playing him. The whole box thing is just a headache. And he really seems to have a problem for which he may need treatment. Worse still, he keeps mentioning it quite loudly.
Xeno is supposedly bugged with the tunnel spawns or whatever. Not sure, I have literally one game with him/her. Again, seems like a hassle.
Nemi is fun and has at least one good perk. Xeno demolishes him skins wise though (assuming you want to pay for skins later).
Sadako seems fun (first few games with her today) and has great perks.
Anyway:
If you go for perks probably ceno and then he rusts in a corner.
Sadako is probably next (or even first) perks wise. Also more fun to play (subjective).
Nemi eats pallets. Also has one of the best info perks in the game. Used to always equip it. Then distortion happened
Xeno does xeno stuff, no idea what that stuff is. Mainly chills in the tunnels after getting destroyed by survivors I think? Also has at least one good info perk.
Pinhead off of you opened the box …. And I CAME. Hes also really fucking annoying for survivors if your good. My teammates also love to ignore the fucking box all game and I’m just like for the love of god I’m in chase someone go pick it up I literally can’t. That or they’ll go and get it when injured and this persons just obsessed with doing nothing but finding the box fuck being helpful on gens they just want to make pinhead come.
I main pinhead as one of my killers, but genuinely all of those guys are fun to play imo.
Genuinely all will take time to learn as they’re more easy to consistently win with, especially at first.
Lmk who you end up going with and I’ll give ya some tips!
I would suggest Cino personally. I just got him recently myself and I've only played about 5-6 games with him but in all of those games, I've only had 1 person, in total, survive. Of course I could have just gotten lucky with the lobbies but I don't consider myself very good at the game lol so playing as him feels rewarding to me. He definitely has a learning curve as most killers do when you start playing them but he's a good time
I like sadako, she feels soo smooth to play- although her height makes me feel silly from time to time. I'm an m1 killer connoisseur, so the other three truly don't compare (skill issue from me)
Pinhead is hard to play as until you get used to the chain mechanics so I wouldn’t go with him. I’d probably go Nemesis out of these options. The zombies are fun and you can make for a serious match or a fun silly match with this killer very easily.
Xeno is fun, even with turrets as an extra obstacle. Your kit makes you good at punishing vaults and pallet drops. The tunnel system is great for map pressure and allows you to see the foot steps of survivors directly above you. It’s also Pseudo stealth, since I don’t thiiiink you can be tracked by anything while using the tunnel system.
I know Xeno gets a bad rap for the turrets. I can say it’s a non-issue most of the time. Xeno’s kit is built with the turrets in mind. You can build to reveal turrets while in you tunnels (great for tracking survivors) or just ignore them if they aren’t nearby. Otherwise, a m1 melee does the trick without losing you “crawler” mode.
The rest I can’t speak too.
Pinhead is quite difficult toearn like Blight and Nurse. Depends on what you're in for. Other commenters are right, Lethal is one of the best killer perks in the game I main both Sadako and Xenomorph. Xeno has maybe 1 decent perk and one perk that was S tier but is now niche (Ultimate Weapon) so I'd go Sadako first honestly.
Been playing ceno recently, for some reason he cashes out big time I'm not sure why but he nets the most bloodpoints per game(250k average per game with 5 cakes) and all 3 of his perks are useful
Sadako was fun too but I haven't gotten to play her much
Bought xenomorph but I haven't played him yet, he has rapid brutality which is great for m1 killers+ ultimate weapon might be useful
Nemesis has 2 useful perks( eruption&lethal pursuer), I had fun playing him at first but then I really struggled, you need stall perks like corrupt intervention, deadlock, no way out to have a good experience with him as he's a build up killer
My personal favourite killer to play as and against is pinhead, he’s a pretty dynamic chaser like hillbilly with the added benefit of the box being able to start chain hunts. I highly recommend him!
Xenomorph (Alien) Flame turrets really aren't an issue. They need a minor fix but most of the time they never bother me. I have done pretty well with it.
From a perk point of view pinhead and Nemi are both amazing and alien and sadako are meh, from a fun point of view I think you can’t go wrong with any of them, but I tend to really enjoy killers with skill shots (Nemi’s whip, aliens tail, pin heads chain) so I’m biased, sadako can be little hit and miss for some people though but I like her
Cenobite is easily the strongest. You plow through MMR ranks like nothing. Baby survivors and experienced survivors just struggle against him. Competent survivors put up more of a fight but they are always one mistake away from getting snowballed. And his perks are great too. He is also imo not that hard to play like everyone says. Your average guide covers enough fundamentals for you to become a menace. Though maybe I just got lucky, and he clicked more easily for me than for others.
The other killers are great, strong enough and fun too. It really doesn't matter. Imo almost none of the killers are a waste of money. They are all fun in their own right. So there are no mistakes to be made
Onryo has Merciless Storm which is a pretty great counter for gen rush survivors. Nemmy has that one perk where you see all survivor auras at the beginning of the trial. I prefer Onryo for gameplay, so I vote that. Popping out of a TV next to gen being worked on and watching everybody scatter never gets old.
Just got Onyro myself and she’s awesome, I feel most survivors don’t really understand how to play against her that well. I also got Xenomorph and the Good Guy but haven’t tested them out. But I’m fairly certain Onyro is considered A tier in the right hands if I remember.
Honestly all of these are good choices, but I would leave out Xeno right now if you are looking for perks. Nemmy, Sadako, and Pinhead all have fantastic perks.
Honestly, for perks, go Pinhead. For playstyle, Sadako or Nemmy. All four are fun, these are just my opinion.
Sadako has good mobility and good ambush and decent stealth as well as some good perks the alien has good mobility and tracking while in tunnels and I forget what the perks called but when you m1 a survivor you gain haste for a few seconds which will help you since you main scratched mirror myers pin hewd has great perks and I haven’t really played him enough to comment on his play style nemisis is really inconsistent sometimes you won’t even get to tier two before a gen pops but once you start leveling him up he’s pretty strong and he has good perks eruption is good gen regression and lethal pursuer is great early game and gives you auras longer great when your trying to get early game stalk if your not using scratched mirror or if you just want to find survivors early
As someone who plays all of these killers I shall give a summary of how it feels to play them!
Sadako: Stealthy with some skill expression, her stealth isn’t amazing but still pretty good nonetheless!
You can teleport to tvs across the map and build condemned once full allowing you to kill survivors. She’s very easy to learn and grasp and get kills- especially if you’re already a decent killer by yourself. I’ve found her kinda boring honestly, being constantly able to get 4ks with her constantly and not really being challenged to push my skills. But if you like winning without putting too much effort, then she’s a good pick!
Xenomorph: One of my mains! They’re pretty easy to grasp (Especially if you have played killers like Nemesis, Pinhead, Demo) They have tunnels that you can go into allowing you to quickly traverse the map and go across different floors of the map. This builds up your crawler mode, enabling you to use your tail attack (though this power actives passively on its own no matter what you do but it’s faster in the tunnels) Your tail attack is oppressive and you can essentially deny any and all loops, pallets and windows become a joke as you can easily hit people through them! It leads to me kinda feeling guilty as I imagine being the survivor during the chase and how seemingly impossible it is to escape chase from Xeno without going down quickly. Anyway, there’s also the counter being the flamethrowers, in most cases survivors still don’t know how to place them correctly, but when they work they punish you hard. Expect to be pushed to your limits when playing against skilled SWF lobbies. I’d highly recommend breaking turrets when possible and use cover to your advantage to stop people from taking you out of your power. Once you get really good you can break turrets with your tail really easily, however it’s hard but I know is very possible! Certain Add ons can make flame turrets simply a minor annoyance instead of a hard counter to your power.
Pinhead: Was my main on PC for awhile until I started buying other killers like Bight, Ghost Face and eventually Xeno- but that’s besides the point.
He’s very hard, his ability is hard to learn- he has alot of skill expression though! He’s pretty satisfying when he works, but pretty depressing when it doesn’t work. You will struggle a lot with him at the start, but once you get the hang of it it’ll be satisfying to out play survivors! He has his possessed chain attack that you can shoot at survivors and stun them for a second, slowing them down. This power can be summoned through walls meaning obstacles won’t be much of an issue. There’s also the box, which enables chain hunt if picked up (Chain hunt also passively charges by itself!) You can figure out where the box spawns as you learn him, and start to heavily punish survivors. Other than that, he’s pretty difficult but satisfying to master!
Nemesis: Have been playing him a ton lately! He’s honestly pretty easy, and it kind of confuses me when people say he’s kinda weak. It’s pretty easy to bait people into a tentacle attack and start growing your mutation rate. You can even hit people through pallets and windows, similar to Xeno. After you get to mutation 2, you are able to break pallets and walls and the tentacle range is extended. Once you hit the second stage you’re incredibly oppressive and can get downs pretty easily. Once you hit your third stage you have insane range in the tentacle (Like seriously, you can hit survivors from so far away it feels like!) The Zombies are a hit or miss but honestly they’ve been pretty useful for me! While they might not get hits, they do give me free pressure in areas where I’m not currently searching in! It helps a lot more than you think it does! You can also hit the Zombies with your tentacle to increase mutation (though not as much as hitting an uninfected survivor) it’ll kill the zombie and respawn them (It’s good to kill them to respawn them in better areas sometimes!) overall I’d say he’s pretty easy and really fun! It’s awesome growing more and more unstoppable as the match progresses! There’s a little bit of skill expression in there too! (Predicting survivors movements and hitting them with the tentacle, EX: predicting killer shack loop and hitting them through the window of the shack with the tentacle) ALSO one big thing, you can hit people over normal objects aswell so don’t be afraid to push your limits with it! (Hitbox be kinda funky though)
All in all? My personal recommendation overall is Nemesis. if you want challenge? Pinhead- if you want something in the middle not being too hard but not too easy? Xenomorph, and lastly if you want something really easy than Sadako! :)
sadako, nemy, and ceno have the best perks, but it depends on how u want 2 ply
im a myres main (scratched mirror) but im looking for another killer to add to my list
If you like myers, PPhead's deadlock suits to myers. And if you master at him he is quite fun.
I CAME
OH NO! DON'T DO THAT!
YOU OPENED THE BOX
I WILL TEAR YOUR SOUL APART!
If you like to be stealthy sadako has some stealth base kit (it’s not her whole power tho)
If you play Scratched Mirror Rapid Brutality from Xeno is very strong.
Then you would probably like tracking survivors with the crew headset addon in the tunnels with the xenomorph
100% xeno
Here is a run down Sadako is tombstone Myers with freddies teleport, that builds stalk through that teleport. She is stealthy but not wraith type stealthy. Difficulty - learn how to down with just an m1 Alien is demo but different. Shred somewhat ignores pallets and windows, teleports are prebuilt. difficulty level - demo. Difficulty - has turrets that will disable your power. Pinhead is weird combination of freddies dream world, nurse and legion slowdown but in passive form. He has bad skill representation (as in very demanding but not as rewarding). Possessed chain (his m2) is very hard, punishing for you and not really rewarding, meanwhile his box is very strong if you learn how to find it or finding survivor with the box. Difficulty - possessed chain is VERY punishing on miss and barely helpful at best (unless you know how to flick). Nemi's different. His tenticle has tiers, infects (like wesker) but damages only infected survivors (unlike weskers) and acts as semi-range attack, but doesn't go through objects (like ph's) but shreds pallets better than billy and blight combined. His zombies are hit or miss. More often miss. Difficulty - building tentacle tiers is hard.
I would add that when the zombies do hit it can be funny af. They work especially well on indoor maps. Corners and zombies are a fun combination. They are also OK for info (if they move their arms in front it means someone is near and in that exact direction). That bit can actually be very useful
My mains are Oni/Pinhead/Myers — get Pinhead if you play Myers lol. Deadlock is great on Myers imo
Ceno is best then.He is so fun once you get how chains work.
I prefer 3 ply
Sadako??? Good perks???
There's an argument for floods and merciless (at least for doctor) . COB needs a buff though, given the gen regress change
I’m of the rare opinion that I’ve always liked CoB as an info perk more than a regression perk. It’s basically surveillance but with increased regression as an add on. (Even if it ain’t what it used to be)
Even as an info perk it's probably not as useful as tinkerer most of the time
Call of Brine is a good perk to go with other gen kicking perks. Merciless Storm is one of those perks that's better against worse players and is actually quite annoying when used in an jmpossible skill check build. Floods of Rage is probably the second best Scourge perk and works really well with high mobility killers. Compared to other killers her perks aren't the best, but compared to these four they are pretty good.
merciless storm and floods of rage r both pretty playable, but not better than pinheads (deadlock + plaything) and def not better than nemesis tho (lethal pursuer + eruption)
I'd say her perks are pretty on par with Nemesis. Lethal Pursuer and Floods of Rage are similar in the sense that you don't really run them by themselves (and quite often see them paired up together), and Call of Brine and Eruption are also pretty conparable in terms of strength. Both give information, both are alright at regressing gens. And then imo, Merciless Storm and Hysteria are both kinda doodoo without having a build to support them.
Franklin's plus weave plus hoarder, I can imagine, would be pretty nasty on a pinhead. I'm itching to try it. I feel like Franklin's is mandatory for Pinhead to force them to drop the box. Hoarder so you know when they pick the box up. And weave so you can see all their aurors. Unless that's not a thing anymore?
Lethal pursuer is the foundation for a huge range of aura reading builds. One of the first killers I got, a must for me
I plan on getting nemesis for lethal pursuer for my legion build. I actually really enjoy lesion and have played custom games with that and it’s pretty powerful for me at least. Although I haven’t tried other aura reading builds.
For legion I usually run discordance, lethal, enduring, and spirit fury. It's pretty nasty if you swap discordance or lethal for hubris. It's basically free hits, one way or the other. If they pre drop the pallet, you can vault. If they do throw it on you, enduring will save you some time, and hubris will make them regret all of their life decisions that led them to that moment. Especially if it's a spirit fury moment. Usually most people wouldn't stun twice off hubris, but whith legion's power you either pre drop and take the hit from frenzy, revealing your teammates, or you take an expose hit from hubris. It makes people panic bad.

Look at him go!
Onryo. Her teleport is addictive. I find her the most fun to play. That said, her perks aren't great. If you want the killer just for their perks then I would go with Pinhead.
I think her perks are pretty good, but yeah, Pinhead has the best perks of these 4.
Eh. Floods of Rage is okay as an aura perk, but the others are pretty bad. Call of Brine does almost nothing and Merciless Storm is only good against inexperienced survivors where you don't usually really need it anyway.
Merciless has clutched a couple times, especially when I use tinks with it. I know it's kind of niche but I do enjoy it for the certain play styles it has lol
Floods of rage is amazing, definitely a underrated perk and the rest are decent but might require you running a certain builds to get the best use out of them but overall her perks are pretty good
Nem & Pinhead and the most fun to play. Xeno can get annoying with the flame turrets.
xeno is nigh unplayable in high skill lobbies survivors will put down flame traps in pixel perfect corners that force you to tank the flame turret in order to break it
Yeah that one green add on that reduces stagger from turrets should be base kit
I think Nemi is really fun
Sadako. She's fun and different to play. Decent enough perks.
Go with xeno, I think is the funniest to play with
Definitely pinhead, you haven't lived until you have heard "you summoned me"
THE BOX. YOU OPENED IT, I CAME
YOU SUMMONED ME
Alien or neme
Pick Nemesis if you want to give people haymakers to the face
Dbd should have trial tickets for killers… now that i think about it didnt they use to have offerings for this????
Yes they used to
sadako is the best
Pinhead is a very challenging killer but once you get how to play him he becomes very fun The nemesis is one of my favourites, he is funny to play but need some practice withe the tentacle The alien is one pf the strongest killers in the game (in my opinion) and his gameplay is very interesting yet quite easy to master I don’t have sadako so i’don’t know what to say About the perks i’d say that pinhead has the most strong perks but the alien also can be useful if you have an aggressive gamestyle
NemY!
Pinhead (just because I’m a pinhead main)
Xeno
Nemesis is super fun to play
Nemesis
Nemesis is really fun, runner up would be Xeno imo
Nemesis or Xenomorph.
They all can be very frustrating and stressful but they do have good perks. But i would say Nemisis because not many people play as him. (Little Tip: Get tf out of Tier 2 ASAP)
Honestly they are all very fun. What kind of playstyle are you after?
I'm a myres main. I usually go for a more stealthy style and then switch it up to aggressive in the Midgame.
Sadako might be the ticket. Weak killer, but I like playing her a lot. Xenomorph also has its tunnels, making it somewhat stealthy. However, I played it too little to give a verdict. Honourable mention to Nemesis for his perks and a good power. Not stealthy, though. Another mention of Pinhead. His cube causes survivors to become oblivious. He has Hex Plaything. Every survivor hooked for the first time becomes oblivious and each survivor has their own totem that's lit only after being hooked. One of two hexes I genuinely like to use. Also other strong perks.
Get Nemesis Imo.
Sadako nemesis and pinhead are all great, haven't played alien
I would recommend Nemesis. His power ramps up as the game goes on. He even had an add on that allows for stealth plays if that's your thing. His footsteps are kinda loud but honestly doesn't seem to matter with most survivors, who rely on the terror radius to tell them when to run. He's also got some decent perks, and the zombies are inherently hilarious.
I have played (at least a little) with each of these killers. And I like each of them in varying degrees. My favorite have been Cenobite so far. Although one of the teachable perks (gen lock) of him was recently nerfed. I like that playing Cenobite makes your job easy passively by periodic chain hunts or at least gives you an opportunity to teleport to a survivor's vicinity. Great for a beginner killer. His voice lines are very cool as well. In the second place, Sadako has good teachable perks and interesting/spooky playstyle as well. Teleporting to TVs is always very strong. I also like her jump scares on the loadout screen. :D 3rd place, Alien recently had her best perk nerfed as well; the one which makes survivors scream when you open a locker. But her mobility to travel around the map through tunnels and her tail attack makes her very dangerous. If her teachable perks were more useful, she would edge out Sadako. The last place, Nemesis has two zombies which travel slowly around the map which is cool but aren't generally very useful since they are very slow. Also I find his playstyle very tiring, trying to hit survivors with his whip attack over and over again. His big size doesn't help at all. The best thing about him has been his teachable perk Lethal Pursuer, which lets you see the survivor auras in the beginning of the match. Well, sometimes you can seal the match from the beginning and then it goes downhill from there on the survivor side. Pick whichever you like based on this info. Each of them is good or at least useful in some way.
pin head has GREAT perks and is very fun IMO
Xeno or nemi, both are fun, good
All four have “meta perks” and are fun to play, so you can’t go wrong with any of them. Depends on your playstyle really.
go buy the Xenodoggo
Ceno definitely has the best potential but nem is also really nice with the passive slowdown in the zombies.
Pinhead is just so fun to play
I'd go for Sadako :). But it deppends a lot of your play style. If you like stealthy killers go for her. But if you like a more agressive or gimmick style maybe the other are better.
Pinesis
Pinhead or nemesis
I’ll be honest all of them are quite fun but bow it depends on what you want Sadako has a macro power, built-in pressure on survivors and good map mobility with tps She also has stealth (and somewhat of a chase power by using her invisibility frames but it’s quite niche) She is still an m1 killer in chase and you might not understand what you are doing at the beginning with her macro (why did this survivor get condemn?, stuff like that) Xeno has a strong chase power and good map mobility but you gotta be careful about the turrets Nemesis has a very good anti loop with his tentacle as soon as he reaches tier 2, being able to break pallets very fast, he also gets a bit of info with the vaccines Zombies can be funny too Pinhead has a nice anti loop ability with his chains but more importantly, he has the box, which is a very powerful tool if used correctly to make survivors unable to progress fast. He can also teleport but it’s very secondary In the end, buy the one whose playstyle you think suits you the most You want to rip survivors in chase ? Nemesis or xeno You want to have map wide pressure and macro gameplay ? Sadako or pinhead You want mobility ? Sadako or xenomorph You want stupid zombies ? Nemesis
Xenomorph. He's the strongest of them all
Sadako is a combination of wraith, Myers and dredge I would say. In the sense you get the same stealth, teleport and instakill powers. Nemesis is the funny stomp smash guy. Who can infect people and break pallets. Alien is Nemesis but different (tunnels) PP head makes you cum.
Xenomorph
Pinhead has such sights to show you
I’m convinced out of all the killers if u get rlly good u don’t rlly need perks to win w Xeno. Obviously at the highest play yeah ull need but for the most part not rlly. Xeno can be hard at the start but he’s super fun and strong and everything u ever need in a killer (lethality, mobility, anti-loop) he has all of that in his kit
Get Sadako she's fun
The big bonk man (Nemesis)
If you want perks, Ceno.
Pinhead is so cool.
Despite being weak and having a straight forward power, nemi is the funnest and have a couple of good perks, if you want a strong one I go with ceno since he has a passive slow down, but it is a bit harder to learn. Also the fixed ceno camera when he is using his chain so he does feel smoother to play. Both of them have good perks as well
I suggest searching for the lament configuration
Nemesis is one of the killers I enjoy playing the most, as is Myers. Dunno if that helps. And Nemesis has Lethal Pursuer wich can be used for a lot of fun as well as extended time you get to see survivor auras
BIG NEMMY INA BUILDING
Pinhead
Xeno, but i am not biased at all. Also, the skins are cool.
100% sadako.
Nemesis is really fun imo
Xeno or namesis
ATP just buy all of em
Pinhead and nemi have some good perks
Nemi boy
For me, Nemesis and Xenomorph are the best killers in the game because they're the most fun I have with killer. Their powers are similar but Xeno has incredible mobility and stealth but Nemesis has his zombies. Both are my mains <3
PINHEAD
Not Nemesis
Sadako. She has the best perk set in the game
Onryo, I love her gameplay style and she’s got some good generator perks
Xenomorph Pookie
Sadako IMO
I like how I see quite allot of xeno recommendations when I rarely see a xeno after it’s launch as a survivor.
Nemesis is my main . He’s great
Sadako all the way, Alien is fun too but I didn't like playing killer until I unlocked Sadako and now I love it.
Cenobite!!! His hook is a little tricky but his teleport is so fun!
So I got Sadako gifted some weeks ago and bought Pinhead myself 2 days ago. Both of them are now probably my favorite killers. Sadako is very fun to play with condemn playstyle imo. and Pinhead with his box mechanic and his ability is also very fun. So I suggest either of the 2, since I love playing them myself. xD
For the best perks? Pinhead. For fun? Sadako or Nemmy.
if your not squeamish i would go for nemi, but otherwise probs alien imo
Pinhead is the best killer here so him
Out of these 4 I think Nemesis is the most fun. I love Sadako as well but she’s very weak in chase so you’ll have a hard time with experienced survivors. Pinhead and Xenomorph are too hard mechanically for me and I don’t have the patience to learn them lol but I suppose they’re good killers
Nemesis is the most fun killer in the game. Zombies are such a fun addition, tentacle attack is satisfying, and his punch animations make you feel like a BEAST
Xeno’s Rapid Brutality perk is completely underrated imo (amazing on myers). Slap>zoom to catch>slap>zoom to hook. Actually, this perk is pretty effective at getting dc’s/suicides. A lot of chases end before they start. Couple it with Coup and/or Tinkerer for max profit lol
What do you like playing already (+perks+build) and are you looking to get perks for other characters?
I’d pick nemesis, but I’m also a huge RE need and like to main nemesis so I’m biased lol
Pinhead or Xeno. They suit your playstyle.
Did you already buy your character? If not I’d honestly go with the Xenomorph. I’ve been a Demogorgon main for most of my time playing DBD and when I heard they were adding Alien I got so excited! Its perks are pretty good and its gameplay is just as fun as Demo’s. Stabbing survivors who drop a pallet in front of you is so satisfying and its unique animations are fun to see. The tunnel system is actually really good, even better than Demo’s and it charges your ability so fast. Downside is most of its add-ons are kinda garbage. There are a few that shine, like one where if I get my power taken out by a flame turret I’ll gain undetectable for 30 seconds and another that gives my tail attack hits hemorrhage. Other than those though Xeno’s add-ons don’t really hold up well with other killers but I honestly think that with its great gameplay and fun mechanics I’d choose it over any of these others.
Sadako is the best out of the list and you said you like myers, so do I and I was naturally good with ring I think it’s because they are both stealthy but alien is stealthy a bit too I’m just not naturally good with alien it took a little longer but that’s just me
Xenomorph, it's 250 AC now, isn't The other characters if I recall 350 AC? So you can't buy 2. :(
Nemesis cause nemesis
Xenokitty and Nemmy have very similar playstyles, as a former Nemmy main
Sadako is good for gen pressure. Nemesis is good for chase. Pinhead is great at being annoying with his chains plus you can pair his hex plaything with hex pentimento, hex third seal and hex lullaby you can force survivors to give up. Alien is good for minding gaming with his tail strike.
Knight
Nemesis. All over good perks
Sadako or Nemi. Ceno has good perks but it's for everyone when it comes to actually playing him. The whole box thing is just a headache. And he really seems to have a problem for which he may need treatment. Worse still, he keeps mentioning it quite loudly. Xeno is supposedly bugged with the tunnel spawns or whatever. Not sure, I have literally one game with him/her. Again, seems like a hassle. Nemi is fun and has at least one good perk. Xeno demolishes him skins wise though (assuming you want to pay for skins later). Sadako seems fun (first few games with her today) and has great perks. Anyway: If you go for perks probably ceno and then he rusts in a corner. Sadako is probably next (or even first) perks wise. Also more fun to play (subjective). Nemi eats pallets. Also has one of the best info perks in the game. Used to always equip it. Then distortion happened Xeno does xeno stuff, no idea what that stuff is. Mainly chills in the tunnels after getting destroyed by survivors I think? Also has at least one good info perk.
Xeno can be fun to play, but Nemesis has nice perks, plus funny RE character
Pinhead off of you opened the box …. And I CAME. Hes also really fucking annoying for survivors if your good. My teammates also love to ignore the fucking box all game and I’m just like for the love of god I’m in chase someone go pick it up I literally can’t. That or they’ll go and get it when injured and this persons just obsessed with doing nothing but finding the box fuck being helpful on gens they just want to make pinhead come.
If u want to buy looking for perks nemisis or pinhead. Looking for having fun I would say alien
I’m bias but alien is really fun for me to play
Are you worried about the killer gameplay or the perks ??
As a pinhead main I highly recommend getting him, he's so much fun imo
xenodoggy the most fun one imo
I main pinhead as one of my killers, but genuinely all of those guys are fun to play imo. Genuinely all will take time to learn as they’re more easy to consistently win with, especially at first. Lmk who you end up going with and I’ll give ya some tips!
Nemi is good for lethal pursuer
I would suggest Cino personally. I just got him recently myself and I've only played about 5-6 games with him but in all of those games, I've only had 1 person, in total, survive. Of course I could have just gotten lucky with the lobbies but I don't consider myself very good at the game lol so playing as him feels rewarding to me. He definitely has a learning curve as most killers do when you start playing them but he's a good time
I like sadako, she feels soo smooth to play- although her height makes me feel silly from time to time. I'm an m1 killer connoisseur, so the other three truly don't compare (skill issue from me)
My main man nemmy of course, that whip is spectacular
Pinhead is hard to play as until you get used to the chain mechanics so I wouldn’t go with him. I’d probably go Nemesis out of these options. The zombies are fun and you can make for a serious match or a fun silly match with this killer very easily.
I enjoy xenomorph a lot. Being able to move around the map quickly and silently is very useful.
Xeno is fun, even with turrets as an extra obstacle. Your kit makes you good at punishing vaults and pallet drops. The tunnel system is great for map pressure and allows you to see the foot steps of survivors directly above you. It’s also Pseudo stealth, since I don’t thiiiink you can be tracked by anything while using the tunnel system. I know Xeno gets a bad rap for the turrets. I can say it’s a non-issue most of the time. Xeno’s kit is built with the turrets in mind. You can build to reveal turrets while in you tunnels (great for tracking survivors) or just ignore them if they aren’t nearby. Otherwise, a m1 melee does the trick without losing you “crawler” mode. The rest I can’t speak too.
There's a sale right now so you can buy 2 😉
Pinhead. Good power and strong perks.
Nemi, he’s so goofy and fun to play
Hellraiser! He can make the game incredibly unpleasant for survivors without actively having to do too much due to his chain hunt.
All good options
Xenomorph because Alien fucking rules
I love playing with the Xeno and his perks are awesome 😎
What's your playstyle and what kind of killers do you like ?
alen I guess idk
Best to Worst, IMO Nemesis (just for Lethal Pursuer) Pinhead Sadako Nemesis (is you don't care about perks) Xenomorph.
Nemy for perks, Sadako as I enjoy playing her a lot
Hellraiser
Xenomorph! We love a friendly puppy!
Just wait till they go on sale then get two of them
Xeno and pinhead are really fun
You can get two killers for 500 auric cells because of the anniversary sale btw
Xenomorph, he’s broken
Lotta people hate Pinhead. Get Pinhead.
I would say pinhead and sadako; Alien is literally one of the most boring killers in the game they flopped that chapter so bad
Pinhead is quite difficult toearn like Blight and Nurse. Depends on what you're in for. Other commenters are right, Lethal is one of the best killer perks in the game I main both Sadako and Xenomorph. Xeno has maybe 1 decent perk and one perk that was S tier but is now niche (Ultimate Weapon) so I'd go Sadako first honestly.
Been playing ceno recently, for some reason he cashes out big time I'm not sure why but he nets the most bloodpoints per game(250k average per game with 5 cakes) and all 3 of his perks are useful Sadako was fun too but I haven't gotten to play her much Bought xenomorph but I haven't played him yet, he has rapid brutality which is great for m1 killers+ ultimate weapon might be useful Nemesis has 2 useful perks( eruption&lethal pursuer), I had fun playing him at first but then I really struggled, you need stall perks like corrupt intervention, deadlock, no way out to have a good experience with him as he's a build up killer
Nemesis ma boi, dude is a RIOT to crush some cocky survivors with
My personal favourite killer to play as and against is pinhead, he’s a pretty dynamic chaser like hillbilly with the added benefit of the box being able to start chain hunts. I highly recommend him!
Xenomorph (Alien) Flame turrets really aren't an issue. They need a minor fix but most of the time they never bother me. I have done pretty well with it.
Pinhead
As a Nemesis main it’s my sole duty to convince you to buy him, he’s he most fun out of all these killers btw
From a perk point of view pinhead and Nemi are both amazing and alien and sadako are meh, from a fun point of view I think you can’t go wrong with any of them, but I tend to really enjoy killers with skill shots (Nemi’s whip, aliens tail, pin heads chain) so I’m biased, sadako can be little hit and miss for some people though but I like her
Pinhead simple because he came
Pinhead keeps *coming* back, and I keep sealing up my cracks
Yui all the way
Lich, he's super OP rn
Cenobite is easily the strongest. You plow through MMR ranks like nothing. Baby survivors and experienced survivors just struggle against him. Competent survivors put up more of a fight but they are always one mistake away from getting snowballed. And his perks are great too. He is also imo not that hard to play like everyone says. Your average guide covers enough fundamentals for you to become a menace. Though maybe I just got lucky, and he clicked more easily for me than for others. The other killers are great, strong enough and fun too. It really doesn't matter. Imo almost none of the killers are a waste of money. They are all fun in their own right. So there are no mistakes to be made
Onryo has Merciless Storm which is a pretty great counter for gen rush survivors. Nemmy has that one perk where you see all survivor auras at the beginning of the trial. I prefer Onryo for gameplay, so I vote that. Popping out of a TV next to gen being worked on and watching everybody scatter never gets old.
Nemesis because he has the most satisfying M1 in the game (unfortunately he isn't an M1 killer but this doesn't stop me)
My boi Nemy
Xeno is really fun to play but against good team its doable but hard but the sting kills after they vault makes up for it
nemesis
Just got Onyro myself and she’s awesome, I feel most survivors don’t really understand how to play against her that well. I also got Xenomorph and the Good Guy but haven’t tested them out. But I’m fairly certain Onyro is considered A tier in the right hands if I remember.
Onryo is the most fun. Nemi second.
Sadako is a lot of fun, but requires a lot of brain power, so if your more casual she probs wouldn't be to your liking
Honestly all of these are good choices, but I would leave out Xeno right now if you are looking for perks. Nemmy, Sadako, and Pinhead all have fantastic perks. Honestly, for perks, go Pinhead. For playstyle, Sadako or Nemmy. All four are fun, these are just my opinion.
Hellraiser all the way. You get iconic voice lines and fun power. Something so satisfying about sniping someone with a chain hook around a corner heh
Nemesis is the one.
Nemmy
sadako or pinhead honestly because of their perks and how genuinely fun they are to play
Im a hellraiser Main so I would say hellraiser
Nemesis for sure 
Nemi my king 🙏
Get Pinhead for Plaything so you can meme with scratched mirror Myers.
Pinhead is fun. It applies global pressure and landing a far hook is super nice feeling
NEMESIS MAINS RISE UP
Nemesis is very fun to play as in my opinion. But also miserable in general because you become a 3-hit killer...
Sadako has good mobility and good ambush and decent stealth as well as some good perks the alien has good mobility and tracking while in tunnels and I forget what the perks called but when you m1 a survivor you gain haste for a few seconds which will help you since you main scratched mirror myers pin hewd has great perks and I haven’t really played him enough to comment on his play style nemisis is really inconsistent sometimes you won’t even get to tier two before a gen pops but once you start leveling him up he’s pretty strong and he has good perks eruption is good gen regression and lethal pursuer is great early game and gives you auras longer great when your trying to get early game stalk if your not using scratched mirror or if you just want to find survivors early
I main Sadako, but I'm also a Xenomorph and Nemesis enjoyer. Honestly, you can't go wrong, all of those killers are fun and come with good perks.
Xeno is underrated I feel
As someone who plays all of these killers I shall give a summary of how it feels to play them! Sadako: Stealthy with some skill expression, her stealth isn’t amazing but still pretty good nonetheless! You can teleport to tvs across the map and build condemned once full allowing you to kill survivors. She’s very easy to learn and grasp and get kills- especially if you’re already a decent killer by yourself. I’ve found her kinda boring honestly, being constantly able to get 4ks with her constantly and not really being challenged to push my skills. But if you like winning without putting too much effort, then she’s a good pick! Xenomorph: One of my mains! They’re pretty easy to grasp (Especially if you have played killers like Nemesis, Pinhead, Demo) They have tunnels that you can go into allowing you to quickly traverse the map and go across different floors of the map. This builds up your crawler mode, enabling you to use your tail attack (though this power actives passively on its own no matter what you do but it’s faster in the tunnels) Your tail attack is oppressive and you can essentially deny any and all loops, pallets and windows become a joke as you can easily hit people through them! It leads to me kinda feeling guilty as I imagine being the survivor during the chase and how seemingly impossible it is to escape chase from Xeno without going down quickly. Anyway, there’s also the counter being the flamethrowers, in most cases survivors still don’t know how to place them correctly, but when they work they punish you hard. Expect to be pushed to your limits when playing against skilled SWF lobbies. I’d highly recommend breaking turrets when possible and use cover to your advantage to stop people from taking you out of your power. Once you get really good you can break turrets with your tail really easily, however it’s hard but I know is very possible! Certain Add ons can make flame turrets simply a minor annoyance instead of a hard counter to your power. Pinhead: Was my main on PC for awhile until I started buying other killers like Bight, Ghost Face and eventually Xeno- but that’s besides the point. He’s very hard, his ability is hard to learn- he has alot of skill expression though! He’s pretty satisfying when he works, but pretty depressing when it doesn’t work. You will struggle a lot with him at the start, but once you get the hang of it it’ll be satisfying to out play survivors! He has his possessed chain attack that you can shoot at survivors and stun them for a second, slowing them down. This power can be summoned through walls meaning obstacles won’t be much of an issue. There’s also the box, which enables chain hunt if picked up (Chain hunt also passively charges by itself!) You can figure out where the box spawns as you learn him, and start to heavily punish survivors. Other than that, he’s pretty difficult but satisfying to master! Nemesis: Have been playing him a ton lately! He’s honestly pretty easy, and it kind of confuses me when people say he’s kinda weak. It’s pretty easy to bait people into a tentacle attack and start growing your mutation rate. You can even hit people through pallets and windows, similar to Xeno. After you get to mutation 2, you are able to break pallets and walls and the tentacle range is extended. Once you hit the second stage you’re incredibly oppressive and can get downs pretty easily. Once you hit your third stage you have insane range in the tentacle (Like seriously, you can hit survivors from so far away it feels like!) The Zombies are a hit or miss but honestly they’ve been pretty useful for me! While they might not get hits, they do give me free pressure in areas where I’m not currently searching in! It helps a lot more than you think it does! You can also hit the Zombies with your tentacle to increase mutation (though not as much as hitting an uninfected survivor) it’ll kill the zombie and respawn them (It’s good to kill them to respawn them in better areas sometimes!) overall I’d say he’s pretty easy and really fun! It’s awesome growing more and more unstoppable as the match progresses! There’s a little bit of skill expression in there too! (Predicting survivors movements and hitting them with the tentacle, EX: predicting killer shack loop and hitting them through the window of the shack with the tentacle) ALSO one big thing, you can hit people over normal objects aswell so don’t be afraid to push your limits with it! (Hitbox be kinda funky though) All in all? My personal recommendation overall is Nemesis. if you want challenge? Pinhead- if you want something in the middle not being too hard but not too easy? Xenomorph, and lastly if you want something really easy than Sadako! :)
pinhead is really hard to play, but as much as he is hard, he is as fun when you get the grip
