Dead by Daylight is a simple yet deceptive game that quickly reveals its depth layers as you play more. The thrill of being a killer while chasing down survivors or being a survivor trying to escape from relentless forces hunting you makes each match feel like a fresh, nerve-wracking experience.
Choosing the right killer can make all the difference between dominating the match or being outplayed by crafty survivors. Our Dead by Daylight Killer tier list will provide you with the latest info and updates on these killers. We also arrange them properly from the strongest to weakest, as there are killers that require more effort to make them an effective killer.
Whether you're in it for the thrill of the chase or the challenge of strategic planning, picking the right Killer can totally change the dynamic of your matches, and that’s what keeps the game exciting!
Dead by Daylight Killers tier list - ranked best to worst
We've separated the tiers into three for this Dead by Daylight Killer tier list. While some mid-to-low Killers are in the game, it's best to simplify them by just three so you can understand which Killers have very few redeeming qualities.
Meanwhile, some fall into the middle bracket, having big strengths and weaknesses. As for the top tier, they, too, have weaknesses, but they pale in comparison to their strengths.
