DBD Killer Tier List - Hardest Killers to Play Against (WITH ARTIST) - Dead by Daylight 5.4.0

What are your thoughts on my tier list? Also, what would you guys rate The Artist? Comment below :)

Bro, Wraith and Trickster. I cannot escape from them ever. I even hid in a with megs perk closet and dude just knew I was there As for The Artist, she is ok? I never usually ever even get crowed but when it happens then its pretty annoying but there does not seem a whole lot to her

[@piro9455]

Трюкача бы я на B тир как минимум

[@levidriskell5367]

If there was a Tier in between S and A, I’d probably put the artist there. Her ability to shut down loops and pressure multiple people at a time is pretty insane. She is very hard to master. Curious where you think the artist belongs now that you’ve had a lot of time to play against her?

[@sh6rpshot]

I do agree that Artists power has insane potential, but like you said shes very difficult to master. With that being said a high MMR killer can still do very well with her, but within the criteria of this video I would still put her around high B tier, and if you have the right addons and perk setup she can be Mid A tier :)

[@kvadrat.gorkiy]

Strangest tierlist I've ever seen. Clown and Billy in tier A make me laugh hard. GF stronger than Nemesis. Wraith in tier B IN NEAR THE ARTIST IM DYING. Have you played this game at all, dude?

[@sh6rpshot]

Have you ever played high MMR? If you don’t think Billy is A tier I don’t think you’ve ever played a curve billy :/

[@kvadrat.gorkiy]

@@sh6rpshot Are you kidding now? Even SpookyLoopz, who plays Billy perfectly, puts him in tier-B. Otsdarva deservedly puts him in tier-C, where he belongs. But you think that you are genius and tell me something about high mmr, where Billy is just helpless, because any good survivor knows how to look at the killer in chase and run behind textures. Dude, you put the Clown in tier A, the Artist in Tier-B and Nemesis in tier D. Twins, Trickster, and Plague are also an absolute miss. Let’s not ask me about the high mmr, this is just ridiculous.

[@Monicaa_]

@@kvadrat.gorkiy everyone has their own opinion about the hardest killers to go against, but you don't have to clown them for putting them in a tier you don't like. Just give your own opinion about his tier list, why insult him.

[@sh6rpshot]

The content creators who you referred to were ranking them in the eyes of a killer main which is not what I was doing in this video. I was looking at them from a survivors POV and how hard it is to escape them, I didn’t take into consideration how hard it is to curve as billy, etc. On average the high MMR Billy’s do a good job at ending loops fast and apply strong map pressure. Obviously there will be some that aren’t very good and miss their chainsaws all game (I will admit those Billy’s are really easy to loop) but then that wouldn’t be a high MMR killer

[@Lukehed]

@@kvadrat.gorkiy Calm down mate, blimey it's only a video.

[@deadbydaylife365]

Plauge is very hard to play against. Her Corrupt purge is essentially uncounterble. And if you decide not to cleanse, it's also not an easy task to be injured the whole game

[@hehehehaw2703]

I agree,even though I probably only say this because I'm a plague main and see survivors struggle to decide what to do

[@mousemallow8297]

this video just left me so baffled at the placements

[@mousemallow8297]

first ever sharpshot L

[@ColdDawgg]

i feel, that clown, billy, twins and pinhead are really weird ranked. Twins are for me B tier just because of victor can basicially disable a survivor for a time, and if they kidnap victor, just let him be disabled and do nothing and recall him if you need to. But Circle of healing really did hurt twins, i give you that. Billy can get looped for like 3 min by an okayish survivor, no matter how good the billy is, he has much counterplay. Clown is just: Genrush and dip. He can kill pretty fast in loops, but the counterplay is: predrop pallets and abuse shack. Pinhead can be really(x3) strong with hoarder, lethal pursuer and franklins. at the start you can know every position with lethal and get a insta chain hunt because of the cube spawn logic I agree to the rest, but i feel myers is weaker than ghostface

[@sh6rpshot]

These are fair points! The high MMR Billy’s and clowns shut down loops really quickly and are tough to loop, and with the right set up also add a lot of gen pressure which is why I put them that high up. Pinhead can have a strong start with the build you mentioned but once everyone gets settled into the trial half decent survivors will be able to dodge his chains super easily in my opinion which is why I put him so low :)

[@ColdDawgg]

@@sh6rpshot Oh yeah thats fair. I agree to you to the fullest then

[@hamedhosseini4938]

[@bread7144]

@@hamedhosseini4938 Yeah but Billy's have really high skill ceilings. Clowns have to perfect their bottle arcs to stop survivors from winning but he's definitley not as high as he was ranked. I don't agree with this tier list at all

[@jacksonfogo2]

I have no idea how this happened but this is the first time I disagree with every single placement in a tier list

[@antoniobateza1771]

Thats what im saying the only ones that make any sense is the pig and trapper

[@deadbydaylife365]

Playing against nemesis is hard. To be effective in chase you need to be super mindful of his tenticle and know when to run through pallets, play around zombies and you kind of need to change how you loop according to the tenticle. You also need to be a skilled window/pallet drop faker and a good 360er

[@asemy1503]

Good nemesis players actually try to destroy the pallet rather than the survivor with the tentacle, which is very damn smart

[@HIHOAstonvila]

Trapper can some times be hard play agiest cause if something like very smart trapper it would be tough cause he can just simply put trap in unknown place

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s true, once you realize his strategy though it’ll be hard for him to trap you again :)

[@balisticgaming4576]

You should have seen my recent game as nemesis on The Game… so many survivors downed due to a zombie. I do think those survivors had no clue what to do tho but the zombies cut off loops

[@sh6rpshot]

Unless you put all zombie add ons it’s up to pure chance whether the zombies give you value or not :/

[@ColdDawgg]

@@sh6rpshot yeah, the zombies are like almost not there. They never are on your side, unless, theyre body blocking the nemesis himself lmao

[@PandzBcw]

Pinhead and twins need to be higher and Why is clone in A hes c tier or d tier 🤔

[@megamannol2916]

I think the artist is at least A tier because she can check gens from across the map with her crows. That makes it really hard to do gens if she knows which gens are being worked on

[@sh6rpshot]

Fair point! From a really long distance though you can see the aura of the crows coming at you and you can dodge them

[@darthmaul8278]

I feel like Artist isn't great at first seeing her but when I tried her a few times she is really good to me at least.

[@spencersimons2816]

Gotta say, as a Pinhead main, it all depends on the skill of the player. Yeah, long distance snipes can probably be dodged fairly easily, but 9 times out of 10 the portal is being put right up next to a survivor during a chase and immediately hitting them with the chain. A good Pinhead can shut down chases extremely easily.

[@antoniobateza1771]

He massively underestimated pinhead my opinion

[@Schniblogg]

Spirit after oni? Hmm...

[@redcat4505]

Oh there's also a build that Legion can do that is devastating to healing builds, I did a customs with some friends of mine and they almost never went to healthy state, dead dawg saloon also helped it along BC smaller map, it was more a shits and giggles type thing but I thing it can actually so some damage given the right person using it

[@darthmaul8278]

Legions ability only really helped me once but he is the one I got most recently and it was because they didn't mend and one Dwight jumped into a locker during chase and I somehow didn't notice but then he just died by not mending.

[@markdbd1101]

Can u do a survivor perks tier list?

[@kaskader7309]

So in a tier list before blight was super fun to play against but now he is super unfun to play against despite he didn't receive any buffs damn they removed j flick and z flick. so how did that happened?

[@sh6rpshot]

If you’re referring to my previous killer tier list, since then, they moved his FOV to a normal height and fixed his hit collisions to be a lot more consistent. So he’s now an actual playable and strong killer whereas back then he was almost unplayable and no one mained him :)

[@kaskader7309]

[@hexjutsu9835]

Rank 20 tier list like man just said just distance yourself against the artist like she can’t shoot you with their long range power

[@sh6rpshot]

🤦‍♂️ loop her close range and see how fast you get downed

[@Sobaire_Souls]

Honestly good Demo players are probably some of the most terrifying people in this game. If the person really sinks in those hours and learns how to play him to a T he basically can counter almost every loop in the game. Ive gotten pretty decent with him, being able to hit shred on 9/10 loops but ive seen some demos that can hit literally EVERYTHING no matter how patient or respecting of the shred you are. And while I know your not really counting perks into this, most good demo players bring Save which is not only super easy to get on demo but when it gets to eight stacks it makes him a killing machine, and if that wasn't enough any high mmr bodyblocking strats go out the window because at max your only buying 2-3 seconds compared to the usually 10 or higher to get to a loop. Trust me I wouldn't be disagreeing with this tierlist if I haven't gone through some shit both playing as him and against him.

[@sh6rpshot]

I agree Demo can be pretty strong if he is mastered! I would say though that almost every killer would be dominant if mastered, some are just a lot harder to master like Demo :)

[@deadbydaylife365]

The artist is very hard to counter. Her crows are moving too fast to dodge. Tf?

[@SynthXV]

Pinhead is absolute hell to go against in solo queue though But only for 1 reason No one ever goes for the box If Pinhead has consistent access to his chain hunts then he might aswell move up to A tier

Nemesis shouldn't be 21

[@astranger9474]

I mean 24 but it also depends like what we talking about like a new player using them or high MMR and high MMR nemesis knows how to drag the tentacle and that's not even predictable.

[@Slasher-tl4mh]

Ok i have 5k hours in DBD and tbh this is the most hilarious tier list that i have ever seen. I’m Pinhead main and I destroy people on top mmr without addons. You said „chains are easy to avoid”, but good Pinhead can open the gate in front of your face or inside survivors bodies which bond them instant… Artist in B? This is new S tier, who can probably be better than Blight or Spirit. And Myers, Gf, Doctor: they are much weaker than Nemesis, Trickster (after buffs), Twins and Pinhead. And this clown on A tier…

[@sin423]

I got so confused when he put pinhead at the lowest lol

[@adeptgopnik]

I actually consider Fredster to be a noob stomper too, but incredibly easy to loop too.

[@TheMegatron673]

has anyone noticed deathslinger's slow aim animation change?

[@StormX6]

For me, Wesker, Pyramid Head, and Dredge are the hardest killers to go against. Hillbilly isn't as hard to go against since he requires a lot of practice. Players who aren't as good with Hillbilly often crash into walls, which stuns him for a solid 5-6 seconds. Cannibal also isn't as bad, especially if the map is indoors with walls for him to crash into and go into tantrum mode.

[@vitavirus0118]

that mustache is fire

[@sh6rpshot]

😎

[@tommyjohnson100]

Don't all of the killers have the same lunge just some that are shorter like freddy feel like they hit you from a mile away. I do feel like some of the killers you put in D tier should be in C tier like nemesis because you don't always need to tentacle strike it's mainly useful for quickly breaking pallets and getting infections when you wouldn't be able to M1

[@sh6rpshot]

All the killers have the same base lunge (unless you have a speed boost like uncloaking wraith) but for the longest time Freddys felt so broken 😂

[@spikeyy7496]

twin is A teir. If you know how to play it u can get 4ks everygame

Honestly never found Huntress hard to use because I'm pretty good at aiming, if you are good at aiming you will be good with Huntress if you can't aim you won't so well that's really it, I also found out playing Myers is actually insanely hard to deal with if your an experienced player he'll be looking at you from afar and all of a sudden you get one shot, its mostly dependant on how the survivors play and not how the killer plays which really determines how well myers will do in most matches.

[@chasejones6164]

Over half the killers I use are d and c tier

[@sh6rpshot]

Every killer in DBD is easily capable in getting 4Ks so if your main is S or D tier it isn’t a big deal :)

[@chasejones6164]

@@sh6rpshot totally agree. I usually get my most kills with nemesis and trickster but I can barely even get a hook with nurse and blight.

[@deadbydaylife365]

I disagree with the pinhead one. You really need to know when to solve the box and have a well coordinated team to have someone ready to solve it when the killer is carrying a survivor. Also planning out the short period of time where the chain hunt isn't active takes planning and coordination

[@sh6rpshot]

High MMR survivors generally know when to do this so in my opinion it isn’t an issue even in solo queue :)

[@adeptgopnik]

Twins are way too low. A good Twins player is harder to counter than a Hag. You need to play in pairs and kick victor when he downs your partner and pick them up before charlotte gets to you. If you do that she can be countered, but one mistake and they have two downs and a snowball begins. If you can stop the snowball, you are good though. They are much harder than a Hag.

[@zestydbd6830]

[@adeptgopnik]

Bubba is a noob stomper, same with clown. they are incredibly easy to counter when you have the know how. Same with Hag. Hag requires you to constantly trigger her traps on purpoe and constantly harass her so she cant setup. Then she is really easy. Most players dont know how to do that, so it makes it hard. Give me 3 other survivors who know how to counter a Hag and she will get 0 hooks.

Legion is more powerful than they're given credit for, they do three things at once, control gens by making survivors mend and sometimes run away, slow the game down by forcing them to mend, and within a certain distance see where survivors are past the first hit and unless they have the god tier healing perks which sometimes does nothing, Legion is formidable and not a power to be reckoned with, that's just me cause I used to main them before I found out about pyramid head

[@sh6rpshot]

Fair point! In that whole process though legion is going to have to stop giving out mending and down people, which is where the survivors will be able to either heal up or (most importantly) keep doing gens, which is why I rated him pretty low :)

@@sh6rpshot thanataphobia and ruin also help that process of gen control, and while yes the time they have to mend is beneficial, unless they decide to heal and waste more time, theyll be more vulnerable to being downed, especially the cocky ones.
