Dead by Daylight Killers tier list - ranked best to worst (November 2024)

We've separated the tiers into five 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 five tiers so you can understand which Killers have few redeeming qualities.

Meanwhile, some fall into the middle bracket, with big strengths and weaknesses. The top tier, too, has weaknesses, but they pale compared to their strengths.
