[@Seporlith]

@Sarre_Casme but if you can do it with every character than by comparison clown would still be easier to master than others, 10k hour clown and a 10k hour huntress are both gonna have to learn the same kind of stuff, bottle/hatchet at loops, addons, perks, so on, so which is harder? Same logic replace huntress with hag, dredge, etc. 10k hours on a character is 10k hours, but one of them is gonna be harder than another. Just cause 1 person sat down to write shit doesn't make the character special

[@Grimmfairytail]

Omg rare sighting of another Skull/pig main

[@Top100PigPlayerDBD]

As one of the best pig players and one of the players with the most hours on her, she requires not only good knowledge of loops/maps but also understanding how her ambush plays into said loops, while she's not the hardest to master she definitely does require a lot of skill and time to master

[@chaosflash912]

Trapper being in Very Hard I mostly agree with - it takes a lot of map knowledge and educated guesswork on what the survivors will do to get the most value out of your traps, as well as being 'the fundamentals killer' for survivors to go against. That being said, it is very gratifying to see bear traps catch players. Creativity is a must with Evan.

[@Nightcrawler77]

Meg Thomas is the hardest by far

[@theintruder6085]

She makes me hard too Kill me now

[@SheetOfRogue]

Fr she makes me hard, I mean she makes me mad since on how hard she is to master

[@nickpolatas8433]

As an artist main, I can definitely confirm she is underrated. I frequently hear that you just drop bird at loop or zone, and if you only do that, play Nemesis, Huntress, or Pyramid Head, they’re all better at that. Her real strength comes from her ability to damage anywhere as long as you have map knowledge and survivor knowledge.

[@kaitblackhound8097]

I like playing as Dredge because it has a simple routine: 1) find survivors, 2) use the locker teleportation to shorten chases, 3) use the white outlines in Nightfall to spot survivors more easily. It helps that the lockers’ colors give you clues as to where to go.

[@lonetiger0774]

Agreed but the problem I have is the map dependence. Some maps like lerys is easy but on a super open map there no room to hit and run or take advantage of nightfall due to how loud he is. Still think he’s a good killer but relies heavily on maps.

[@Wolfadox]

As a P83 artist main, I can definitely confirm artist is one of those type of killers where the difficulty to master is high up. Especially since you're having to think ahead of where the swarmed survivor is going, even if they're paying attention of where the artist is gonna setup the follow up swarm shot. Feels like im playing chess sometimes when it gets to higher MMR lobbies lol

[@TheAmishTechSupport]

My favorite aspect of playing Artist is how survivors will zone themselves and give me a free hit just to avoid some crows. 😂

[@lonetiger0774]

Was thinking the same thing too but this game has weird hitboxes that allow such hits and it doesn’t help that chucky has a more forgiving hitbox due to having a limited turn rate.

[@WindyIg]

Not sure how I feel about demogorgon being in easy

[@whereswaldo3921]

I think a lot of that boils down to his kit being relatively simple, and obviously if you put more time into him you will be better and there are certain techniques that do take some time and skill to master

[@mikemaguire151]

Demo is pretty simple I think it makes sense for him to be that low id argue ghost face being that low is a lot weirder sense I feel stealth/stalking is alot less intuitive, and that he put Myers higher up despite being a way more simple ghost face sense you don't have to worry about being spotted while you stalk as much

[@Diliwillynice5505]

@@mikemaguire151 its true that ghostface should be higher and ive just got to say as a demo main that he has a lot techs like slieding when u shred a car and a bounce tech that u can do in a loop in The game map and when ur on a hill and a widnow is nearby u can shred in to the window and be on the other side of it

Bro some of the killers I swear are just cod weapons ( I still suck with some of these) huntress=tomahawks Pinhead=predator missile Unknown= gernade launcher And so on

[@KillerGamesINC]

Here’s a video idea, what you can learn from each killer, something that can help you with any other killer. For instance, you learn Survivor Map Rotation from Trapper, or Survivor hiding spot from Doctor or Maybe Line Of Sight from Myers, ETC.

[@BoyGamer100]

I definitely agree with most of these rankings, but the Ghostface one really confuses me. Trying not to get seen by survivors as Ghostface is harder than any mechanical or strategical challenge I've faced with the other killers. Some of the ones you rate as being harder I often have a much easier time with than ghostface. It takes a team that isn't looking around for a stealth killer to do well as him it seems. That's playing him as intended though. Playing him like a chase killer with a stealth ability definitely has a low skill ceiling; but the sheer amount of knowledge, strategy, and deep understanding of how the reveal mechanic works(especially with 3rd person and how fast you can be revealed) that you have to have to play him like a true stealth killer is just insane. That's part of why I'm drawn to him though. If he didn't have that depth, I would have gotten bored of him long ago. Bots are also a heavy challenge as him now. The ideal ghostface match for me is to stalk everyone without them being aware, and to down them one by one when they're not expecting it, without being seen at all until they get hit(or grabbed). That's incredibly hard to pull off, especially versus fast gens. I feel like there's always something new I'm learning with him to play him better. I feel like you either just naturally do well with him, I'm missing something critical, or he should be rated higher.

[@InK-Korps]

Seeing the Artist so high makes me want to learn her more, as I want to be a main Artist that will be quite a ride

[@huracan__6438]

I'm a main Artis and I can tell you that Artist is so much fun to play

[@eliasar5051]

Another Carmina main here. She is tons of fun, but a bit difficult especially at the start, because her power doesn´t feel very assuming. But once you start developing the instinct for cross-map snipes, it is so satisfying. Just don't get too addicted to hands and baby shoes, those two are her best add ons and are like a drug. Crow repel and cooldown add-ons will also help you a lot with learning basics. Changing my main from frustrating suffer-buss that is a Legion to Artist was the best choice in my entire dbd playtime.

[@Awesometraxgaming]

Artist main here, I would say she is definitely not a beginner friendly killer since there is so much variation with the crows and also having to two tap in most scenarios. Having said that, getting cross map hits with her are incredibly satisfying, and you also have things like slingshots/staggered hits that are not easy to do but are also satisfying to hit. In the same token, elevation changes are her worst enemy and even with the ability to remove crows with flashlights/flashbangs gone (which I'm super happy with as it felt downright horrendous to go against that), she still has meaningful counterplay with lockers and also a small window for followup shots.

[@NAEAAEAN]

As both a blight main and a nurse main(also trying to master spirit but broke my headphone so I cant right now)I think that spirit is harder than both blight and nurse because on spirit,your only reliable source of knowing where survivors are is sound.

[@vanillaseahorse4228]

I used to be a Trickster main but stopped playing him around the time he got reworked. I don’t know about current Trickster, but older Trickster was much harder to master between resource management/precise aiming and most importantly map choice. The difference between a good Trickster and the best Trickster is whether they mastered the maps or the character.

[@sventhemouse95]

As a nemi main I agree on the tier placement. But good nemis learn how to take advantage of their zombies, the amount of salt I get for corralling survs into zombie areas is so satisfying. It's not difficult to learn to do it but requires a different mind set about the zombies instead of just RNG factors, which there is a fair bit of that still. I like to think of them as moving trapper traps for purposes of rotation and pressure.

[@thehamburglar2420]

I actually think Skull Merchant is secretly one of the most difficult killers to master. If you get good enough at "aiming" your drones at survivors, lock on stacks become unavoidable, and once they get two stacks it's easy to get a double tap. There was an hour long guide to her posted a while ago that actually made me play her a lot.

[@cocoakills]

Agreed, I wanted to play her awhile back but trying to learn her power was actually so frustrating for me and I gave up

[@georgialopez7717]

I thought Vecna was going to be a difficult killer like Hux because of all his abilities so it's nice to know that that may not be the case. I sucked when I tried Blight on controller for a few times so I can agree with his placement lol. Thank you for the video. ❤

[@AZHYMOVS]

Vecna is a case imo of lots of stuff but it's all quite simple. The main skill I think comes in combining them and managing cooldowns.

[@CrazyHookDBD]

@@AZHYMOVSP14 Vecna main, completely agree with what you said. He plays like a jack of all trades and you need to know how to use all the stuff in his kit effectively, even if the survivors are hindering your spells with the magic items. But hey, he does give the trials a different side: half DBD, half D&D.

[@calummcnish7582]

Unfortunately as a blight main that switched from controller to PC I can say playing him and learning him on a controller is the worst thing a human being can put them self through

[@XKillerBuu]

To be honest, Wesker should be #1. Learning and mastering all of his various techs: The hug tech, skinny bert, rebound, etc; on top of knowing when and how to use his power takes an enormous amount of skill.

[@Nukem9999]

I would bump Nemesis slightly higher because the zombies are an important resource to master. They provide info and can be used like moving traps to either herd the Survivors into them or let them push the Survivors into Nemmy. Mastery of Nemesis involves recognizing when the zombies are giving you a good opportunity and pouncing on it, which requires constant awareness of where they are and what they're doing.

[@JoyousPeas]

I feel like, to master Nemesis, you need to be able to tier up as quickly as possible. You basically can’t pressure with your tentacle since survivors don’t get a real debuff from being contaminated. You’re powerless until you reach tier two, since you can mind game over if you will hit over a pallet or break the pallet, or if you will put the tentacle away and scare away survivors from a loop. Also, as someone who mains Nemesis, I have no clue what tier 3 even does

[@gianglai7346]

Nemesis enjoyer here, T3 adds one meter to your tentacle attack and you move faster while holding your tentacle

[@JoyousPeas]

@@gianglai7346 That feels underwhelming but at least it’s not licker tongue levels

[@Gordon_Blub]

I understand why people struggle with singularity but I just find him so fun and satisfying to play! My number one tip for playing him is play survivor. Being able to infect a survivor with one pod and follow up with a prediction on another is great. When playing him just think: "if I was this survivor, where would I go in this situation?" That and placing a few pods in high traffic areas can help :)

I don't take into account the skill floor, but the skill celling, that is, how much it costs to completely master the killer in question.

[@dadrako1581]

I have to heavily disagree with sadako. Not only does she rely heavily on macro knowledge, to have to keep track of both survivor condemn, survivor position, tv timers, and gens. Additionally by far her strongest style is condemn focused, a style that very few have reached a high level with from time dump and difficulty.

[@Sinrix]

The title is misleading, it says hardest to Master, not what is hard for you specifically to play or do, generally speaking trickster should be on the hard side along with huntress and deathslinger to “master” because again you have to actually see what a master on these killers can actually do with them and a “good” trickster vs a master is like night and day, the unknown i would put it on moderate, it’s projectile is more forgiving because it’s aoe and pretty much negates loops entirely because of it so the whole aspect of mind gaming isn’t needed for the killer therefore easier to master than others, wesker should probably be hard to very hard, i’ve recently seen probably the best wesker i have ever seen and it’s crazy how microflicks could make what you may assume safe very very unsafe, but again only a master could achieve this feat, plague is way too high, and so is the trapper and hag, mastery of a killer vs mastery of game sense are completely different things, game sense can get you to win every game but you can generally do that without mastery of a killer, otzdarva is an example of this, the guy knows the game really well, and because he knows what should be done and what he needs to do in specific situations he can win a game or make a comeback from messups, is that mastery of a killer? No, sure he could be very good on a killer and could be a master on one or some killers, but compare what you’d need to do in order to win on plague vs trickster and it’s entirely different, in order to master plague, you don’t need to play her that well at all, besides do m1 killer things, the thing that separates an actual master is the mastery of game sense, and because you can transfer that same game sense from plague to wraith, to hag to trapper, it’s not the killer that is hard to master but rather the game sense which is not the what we’re trying to figure out, because every killer at a mastery level should have that same game sense, so the difference in between them is which killer is harder mechanically, nurse at base level is simple, but i do believe it is difficult to play her if you don’t know exact timings, is she dominant? Sure but honestly most people don’t see masters of nurse because the people who mastered her probably don’t have fun with dc’s and whatnot so mostly people play against “good” nurses but i digress, regardless mechanics of what you can do on a killer of what you control determines the difficulty of mastery because again, the game sense should be given to every killer by default in order to master them

[@rtristan8572]

To me Blight dropped a lot. They dumbed him down a lot with the removal of hugtech. Now you don't need to learn to evaualte wether to use hugtech or bump logic, or both, arround which lo.ops you could hugtech and where, from which side you could get to a certain position, etc. Before you had to learn how the colission of every single object on every single map worked, arround which you could hugtech and arround which you couldn't, how to play arround the ones you could, etc. Now all objects are equally annoying to play arround, they are all big tall squares. 4 years had past and I and many like me still had a lot to learn, but now ? Just bump logic and knowing all objects have the same giant hitbox, that's it. To me he just went from one of the hardest characters to learn and master to a "just an M1 killer but sometimes faster". Before he was arguably the second hardest killer to master indeed, now I would say he doesn't even come close to being harder to master than Pinhead.

[@Cursory3]

I disagree for more reasons than one. I bet you didn’t even know you can still avoid collision when you’re rushing from an angle and just before you would normally hit turn your camera and you will glide. Try it yourself! Go to any map with shack run towards it in an angle and then turn your camera and see the magic unfold. There are more objects that allow this too so you can experiment when you can utilize it. You can also still flick but that is harder now considering we can’t pre-turn anymore. There are more things that require some practice. Oh yeah before I forget you can still semi moonrush around cars by doing the same thing I described before but that requires add one to work. Blight is far from easy and some objects still lack proper collision. Just experiment and pull your hair out when you figure out that some things are possible but incredibly hard to master because you only have split seconds to initiate it…

[@Wiiownyou]

5:00 Skull Merchant is the easiest killer by far, not because of her 3 gen potential but because there isn't really anything you can do about drones in the long run. Disable a drone, and it'll just reactivate itself before long or she can recall it. In chase you can't run any loops injured or healthy because again the drones will just injure you and hinder you so staying at loops injured is also a bad idea too meaning you just get zoned and hit for free. On top of that the constant haste she'll have just for survivors trying to run away and inevitably ending up in a drone zone coupled with her endless ability to be undetectable at will and sneak up on gens means she gets even more free hits, if she gets the basement for some god forsaken reason she can put drones around it and down the stairs to make saves nigh impossible too. Perhaps if drones had about half the radius they do, or she made a loud noise constantly so her stealth wasn't the best in the game, or you didn't get hindered AND deep wounded AND broken for stepping into a drone without crouch walking then yeah she'd have a skill barrier to consider but all you have to do is place a drone at a loop and chases no longer exist, place them in hallways or chokepoints and its gg on many maps. I'm sure someone will tell me she's actually bad with her 70%+ killrate and the fact that all bad and good players hate her guts but its obvious how easy she is, deffo belongs in very easy.

[@RandomName12345]

Honestly mastering Freddy is pretty much just mastering m1 killers his power does really have anything to it

[@liptonpipton4135]

you need to learn how to not be confused after gen teleport, and that's it

[@RandomName12345]

he’s still just an m1 killer… with a teleport every minute or so that doesn’t matter it much better

[@MarcelWol-mr4iu]

As a cenobite main i learn him in 6 days. He is easy just use your power close to survivors to give them less time to escape far

[@3rdCoastSportsTV]

He’s far harder than you just tried to put. Learning the box. Know when to teleport and using his power in loops against gravity or survivors isn’t easy and he’s the only killer I play with.

[@shaderumble3013]

Ngl I think that demo is actually harder to master than you think, because there is a lot of thought that has to go into when you use your shred and you have to predict where the survivor is gonna go if you wanna become a master with demo’s shred ability. And yes there are various techs and bounce up abilities you can do with demo but those are more of collisions with objects than an actual mastery ability

[@adalrichmartin9593]

Ghostface is 2nd hardest one if you want actually use your ability. Pinhead is 1st hardest one, because of chains control, the box searching, and a lot of tactic factor, and management. Freddy is much harder because "terror" perks dont work in dreamworld, and also you need to learn how to place snares properly. Twins are very hard because a lot of tactic and management, and bad synergy with perks. Demogorgon is hard because of portals management (and without portals you lost many time). Singularity plays a lot easier than many think, rather it annoying to use his ability because of emp. Vecna has a lot of deep learning and many tricks and synergies with perks. Clown is little harder because bottles management (you need use antidote a lot).

[@TitSus]

Thank you for looking at Skull Merchant rationally. I'm so tired of people saying that she's a "braindead killer" who wins the games by spamming M2 on loops. No, it's not even close to truth, and in order to get good results with her, you have to think a lot about your drones placement, the way their beams are located, and you have to keep a track on survivors' Lock On stacks to perform better. Mindless drone spam will work only against baby survivors who have no idea what she's capable of.

[@UndeadWolfie01]

I agree. Whenever I die to skull merchant or any "braindead killer" it's not because I'm aiming to escape the match I just aim to have fun each match. It's sad people take dbd way too seriously

[@MagicofMrClean]

For me, despite her taking some skill to use, I would rather go against a knight than skull merchant. Don’t get me wrong, she takes some time to get good with, but as a survivor she just feels like she gets too many bonuses for doing close to nothing. You get good drone placement and I have to get a stack of lock on, granting you haste and if I have a claw trap, I get hindered. The passiveness of it all gets to me. At least with knight his guards have personality unlike drones.

[@vanjohnson-ry3zc]

Pyramid head is a lot harder than that because you have to also master the cage spawns and when it’s at higher ranks survivors learn to counter him so you have to learn to not let that counter him

[@WitchValkyri]

As a pig main, I don't think I'd put her all that high up. When she loses her main power being her party hats she's really just a bade M1 killer. Her crouch ability is incredibly mundane, the ambush is cool but there's really only so much she can do before its just chase and hook I guess?

[@CodPatrol]

Learning what hides you is tough on ghostface, what is difficult about demogorgon, the teleporters are so lenient

[@Doros.Guptar]

wesker belongs in very hard.using hug techs, skinnyberts, wall slides, pallet slides, window grabs, fence grabs, insta hugs. sky techs ect consistently is almost impossible.

[@thesnipersmith3436]

This is so ironic yet again, because in every game that ranks something by difficulty, im mostly choosing something from the harder side, like in dbd my favourite killers and those who I can use the best or something are all nearly in the hard tier like oni, wesker, nemesis, pyramid head, deathslinger, knight, huntress, trapper, its so weird like anything that classes "hard" is perfect for me, maybe because they require skill or its just that my style fits better for harder things, I guess its because I wanna challenge and improve my skill so I choose harder things to learn and now im natural at any hard thing in any game

[@ToothbrushMan-cr3ov]

Singularity getting massive buff

[@Borb1012]

I'm so excited for that update. Literally nothing in the update seems bad, I'm excited for all of it

[@Scotachi]

@@Borb1012well knight may be nerfed heavy with the rework but we will see

[@Borb1012]

@@Scotachi yeah I'm happy about that lol, knight sucks. I hate playing against him, and don't really care for playing as him, I think it won't be awful still to play as since the only real nerf to him playing as is the 10m limit thing but I'm happy that it won't suck as much

[@Scotachi]

@@Borb1012 I understand that and yes I agree it sucks facing him as survivor, but this rework only makes playing the knight more miserable

[@BigChungusOFG]

I have played every killer for probably several dozen hours, maining oni/blight and by far the hardest one MECHANICALLY, was wesker, his tech is exctruciatingly hard to even do, let alone do consistently. I find pig being on the same tier as him absoloutely absurd. Then myers being the same tier as demo clown and trickster is slightly odd. valid list though

[@DeadByDaz]

14:44 That's my boy! 🥹

[@Sir-avarice]

You and me too 🤜🤛

[@WeaselArlington]

Congrats, thinking of becoming a Singularity main. But is it similar to Knight at all since I’m a Knight main?

[@Sam-ir6mv]

@@WeaselArlington Not particularly. Hux is as the video says incredibly fuild in thier game play and you need to be able to adapt. I feel that abit with knight were you could either trap areas with gaurds or use them in chase. singularity requires being able to play both those styles and knowing when to switch. I do think though with the massive buffs Hux is getting next update it will be more enjoyable to play and will give the feeling of creating an unwinable chase like the knight can currently do with the gaurds. TLDR: although diffrent from the knight Hux is super fun and worth trying out.

[@speedofsoundgaming7693]

Disagree on Sadako. Her power itself may not be hard to master, but playing her effectively requires mastery of the macro and micro killer aspects of the game. As a Sadako main you need a very deep sense of when to chase, what TVs to teleport to, what gens to protect and also be able to play various styles because survivors dictate the gameplay based on how they approach TVs

[@VisceralForce]

I would agruably put Pyramidhead in very hard aswell, since you also can flick with him and getting those flicks down consisrently takes a lot of time, good game knowlege for prediction shots, and a good understanding of how survivors think

[@hannahreid9146]

In my opinion HUX is a killer who's power seems simple and easy at least from just looking at the description but once you play him you realize how fucking big his skill cap is and that's why I love watching cocolatte because it seems so amazing on how he plays hux and he's actually the reason why I'm maining his right now

[@randomguy6695]

By far the hardest killer to master is definitely Singularity. Like you said it depends on what kind of playstyle you use with him. I aim for the more chase focused.

[@PaulLawrence-]

another great vid man. i can’t believe how much better the videos have gotten over the years

[@Infinite-style.]

Actually the hardest to master Is now 4 Feng mins with bunny ears and a full ourple flashlight

[@OhmyDaysies]

I do think you’re underrating Ghost Face a little. There are a lot of map spots to learn, which walls can be stalked through and because a lot of the time you’re avoiding chase and learning when to trick players into thinking you’re still with them when you left or the reverse he plays a fair bit differently to other m1 killers but that’s just my opinion.

[@ThePhantomSafetyPin]

I'm gonna argue Ghostface is a bit higher up but still easy. Some of his addons change a bit about how he plays, and learning to properly time and use stealth is actually not as easy as it can seem on some maps. Still simple to get the hang of but certainly not overly complex. Teaches Macro well. I think Myers is way easier to master than Ghostface actually.

[@Cremlindor]

I don't think it's fair to say Trickster is easy to master just because he's more forgiving. A top level trickster can hit your from angle you could never expect. His skill seiling is really high

[@itsmanalo]

Freddy and the artists is def the hardest no cap also Trickster is definitely the easiest and OP killers in da game facts and nurse is and ALWAYS BEEN since the release she’s been so easy prob tied with tricky

[@harrishoin7950]

Hux mains rise up, there are dozens of us! Ready for the QoL buffs he gets soon

[@bluerexj7]

Ok, as a demo main, demo is easy to learn. But very difficult to master, mainly against a good swf or against a really good survivor. I will say portals are the easiest part of his kit and make him decently easy. But it's underwhelming and you get way more value out of shred but against good survivors you gotta predict where to shred and when to shred. I agree to easy when it comes to learning and understanding demo, but when it comes to mastery then it's around the same as xeno if not harder. And I do agree xeno takes longer to learn and is hard to play but is definitely easier and faster to master then demo, (mainly because xeno can hit over a lot of loops). And to clearify, yes, I agree demo is easy, but only for understanding the power and demo but mastery is hard unless your going against a bunch of solo que and bad survivors

[@kizoyah9253]

Putting Trickster in the easy tier is lowkey crazy, I’d put him in the moderate tier since you need to aim your knives good enough for them to hit the survivors and not throw half of it against a tree or smth lmao 😭

[@That___dude]

i love your channel, your videos are so much fun and make dbd 1000% more interesting to me. keep it up :)

[@beastu7545]

Mastering all of Wesker's techs and insta flicks is def very-hard worthy, like top 3

[@smithbabies7886]

The hardest killer in the game to truly master is Huntress. The skill floor is really low but the skill ceiling cannot be seen from where we are. Next up would be Singularity as you need to master you sleep schedule to have enough energy to play him more than twice in a day

[@smithbabies7886]

Ok fr next spot is a 3 way tie of Blight, Singularity (holy shit i am playing 3 games at the same time), and suprisingly Trapper.

[@jjacademygaming9453]

I disagree with the trapper placement. The same could be said for all trapping strategic killers such as hag. He ultimately just chooses a 3 gen or preferable part of the map and sets up traps.

[@zssckk]

I’ve been maining the nurse for a while and I would say she was pretty easy for me to learn I wouldn’t say I mastered her but I’m pretty good with her

[@Its_SaberHG]

People always underrate the difficulty of bubba, he can be extremely tough Look at SethGameOn, he does these insane flicks and mind games that take tons of skill to do

[@gianglai7346]

this

[@Its_SaberHG]

@@gianglai7346 even just on indoor maps, he takes skill to understand timing of when to charge, where to go to cut them off and just not hitting a wall

[@whirlly]

I feel like Trickster should be a bit higher and Traper to be a lot lower. Trickster is pretty difficult if you want to be able to master all the add-ons and tricks. Trapper is actually pretty simple and relies more on how good the survivors are rather than how good the Trapper is.

[@pawncube6787]

I really disagree about Billy. I honestly think he has the highest skill ceiling in the game.

[@NotBavarian]

Highest mechanical skill yes, but Nurse will always have the highest skill ceiling in terms of turning your game knowledge into game value.

[@pawncube6787]

@@NotBavarian As a rehabilitated Nurse main, she has a surprisingly low skill ceiling. It's a little bit of timing that you can realistically master in 10ish hours, and much less game sense than other killers need because her map pressure is insanely high. The difference between a good Nurse and a great Nurse is really not as much of a difference as there is between a good Billy and a great Billy. In order to master Billy, you have to understand the unique collision of any given loop on every map. Nurse doesn't care about loops, and uses the same strategies, timings and angles on every map.

[@NotBavarian]

@@pawncube6787 I agree in a mechanical sense. However from a game sense perspective the reason the nurses skill ceiling is the highest isn't because she is hard to play, I agree that she is relatively easy to play, however her skill ceiling remains the highest because her value infinitely scales to your game knowledge. Her map pressure does make it less necessary for players to have game knowledge to gain value, however that is a skill floor discussion not a skill ceiling one. As a nurse you will continue to gain even more value the more you play. If you have no game sense as a nurse you can still get some value (attributed to a rather low skill floor compared to other more difficult to play killers) however if you had infinite game knowledge you could get infinite value out of her teleport due to it completely ignoring typical blockers to other killers like pallets, windows, walls etc. Her value is nearly infinite, scaling to one's knowledge of the game and how the average survivor will play which scenarios. The difference between a good nurse and a great nurse may be less noticeable, but that's because no human can have infinite game knowledge so it's unlikely a person will be able to reach the nurses actual skill ceiling

[@MrCoolGuyJr]

@@NotBavarianI feel like this could be applied to a lot of killers that have abilities that go through walls, like pyramid head and pinhead. I could also argue that pinheads anti-loop is MUCH more skill intensive than nurse’s is. Especially considering you need to worry about portal placement to make sure the chain doesn’t break on an object.

[@NotBavarian]

@@MrCoolGuyJr Pyramid Head and Pinhead can do things through walls, but nurse moves through them. Moving through walls provides more value since it obviously offers more mobility to her than other killers but she can also do things like grab survivors or move up and down on a vertical map. Pinheads ability is more skill intensive in the sense that he is harder to use mechanical and it's harder to gain value out of his power due to it breaking on walls. This feels more like a skill floor discussion however, as at the bottom end value is hard to gain, and I will agree that pinhead has a very high skill ceiling, however pinhead has a lower cap on skill input to value output as again he cannot actually move through the walls only use his power through them. Nurse's skill input to value output is still higher in my opinion than killers like Pyramid head or pinhead.
