Dead by Daylight's ever-shifting meta makes ranking killers a constantly evolving challenge. This tier list reflects the current state of the game (October 2023), considering both high-level play and the average player experience. Remember that individual skill and playstyle significantly impact a killer's effectiveness. This list provides a general guideline, not a definitive truth.

Understanding the Tiers:

• S Tier: Top-tier killers consistently strong in most situations. They possess powerful abilities and are relatively easy to master.
• A Tier: High-performing killers with some minor weaknesses or a higher skill ceiling. They require more practice to utilize effectively.
• B Tier: Solid killers capable of winning games, but may struggle against skilled survivors or in certain map layouts.
• C Tier: Killers who often require specific builds, perks, or exceptional skill to be truly effective. They may struggle in many matchups.
• D Tier: Killers generally considered underpowered or difficult to play successfully in the current meta. This doesn't mean they're unplayable, but they require significantly more effort for comparable results.

Killer Tier List:

(Note: This tier list is subjective and subject to change with updates and meta shifts.)

S Tier:

• Nurse: Her blink ability allows for incredibly powerful map pressure and unparalleled chase potential. Requires significant practice to master but is incredibly rewarding.
• Spirit: Her phasing ability is unmatched for mind games and quick traversal, making her a relentless predator. Again, mastering her phasing takes time and practice.
• Blight: His insane speed and mobility across the map offer unmatched chase pressure. His charge ability requires precise aiming but is deadly when used correctly.

A Tier:

• Oni: His power, Demon Dash, is extremely strong in chases, allowing for quick closing of distance and punishing survivors. His power's relatively straightforward usage makes him easier to learn than some S-tier options.
• Ghostface: His ability to stalk survivors undetected, and then instantly down them with a powerful attack, makes him very strong. High skill ceiling.
• Trickster: His knives allow for a wide variety of strategies and map pressure. Requires skillful aiming and strategic use.

B Tier:

• Trapper: A classic killer that remains viable with good trap placement and map knowledge. Can struggle against experienced survivors who know how to avoid or destroy traps.
• Hag: Her traps are powerful but require strategic placement and can be easily destroyed. Excellent for map control but less effective in chase situations.
• Huntress: Her hatchets are skill-shot based and rewarding when mastered. Requires consistent accuracy to be effective.

C Tier:

• Legion: Their power is useful in the early game but can become less effective as survivors learn to avoid them and heal quickly.
• Doctor: His power can be effective at slowing down survivors, but can struggle against coordinated teams.
• Clown: His power has a niche use in slowing survivors down but doesn't offer enough pressure to consistently dominate matches.

D Tier:

• Pig: Her traps are time-consuming to set up and can be easily removed by survivors. Lacks the pressure needed for consistent success.
• Myers (Michael Myers): While terrifying in his concept, his power can be hard to master and doesn't always offer a clear advantage against experienced survivors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How can I improve as a killer?

A: Practice, practice, practice! Watch high-level gameplay, experiment with different strategies, and learn from your mistakes. Understanding survivor strategies is also crucial to success.
