Hey everyone, today we’re going to be ranking all of the Dead by Daylight killers from least to most powerful. This isn’t in terms of gameplay, but instead lore-wise, abilities and their powers. We’re gonna put them into one of four tiers. The lowest being the Strong, but powerless tier, the second being the Supernatural or magical tier, the third being the Powerful superhuman tier, and the final tier being, godlike beings or the unlimited power tier. Let’s get into it.

The Resident Evil x Dead by Daylight chapter is out and the new killer is Nemesis and survivors, Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine. The Racoon City Police Department is the new map!

  2. Surely plague is unlimited power she’s literally from Mesopotamia and wiped out entire cities nevertheless she’s still extremely old and powerful making her around 9/10,000 years old.

  3. I would argue nemesis would be right behind Pyramid head , He can evolve , and a nuke was what was needed to kill him , We never see it in game because , well there’s no guns or bombs . also he can break concrete walls with ease and can use weapons, Oh and also if we’re looking this in like who is the strongest , It’d be nemesis , He is ever evolving with means that he could be a universal threat

  4. though this video is interesting, im still confused by the intent. at the beginning u started by saying “less by gameplay but by lore” but then puts a completely normal human with a hooked gun in the “supernatural or magical” tier? idk, im just very confused. wish it would’ve been more like a
    – godlike (highest)
    – highly supernatural
    – increased intelligence, but human
    – strong humans (least)

    idk maybe im just a stickler, but i feel like the tiers didnt make sense, and the way you ranked them was a bit weird

  5. Slinger isn't THAT intelligent. His first prototype spear gun tore a man's guts out and it took him several iterations to perfect it. Other than that, he was a bounty hunter and you put him above literally a neurosurgeon with magic powers because of "his intelligence". He has no magical powers. He should be below Ghostface. He lived in the Wild West. No one there was intelligent. The intelligent people were back in England. He's got a gun but… How you gonna shoot what you can't see? He has a gammy leg. Weak as piss tier. Pig could probably beat up slinger. Only reason bubba and clown couldn't is because they're too stupid. He's only got 1 shot and there are 4 legions. Slinger is easily one of the weakest. If he could have invented something better if given the opportunity, why didn't he just invent something better when he became a rich and famous bounty hunter? Because he's not that smart. He's; "just a man with a gun", like every single cowboy story that has ever existed.

  6. Michael Myers is just a crazy guy. That's the WHOLE point of the character. The first movie was made on like a 10,000 dollar budget and it was designed to simply depict a spooky serial killer. The entire point of the scenes with the psychologist is to ground him in reality and depict him as just being a very tall, very strong man who has no motivation within his brain except to kill, and he does so obsessively. He's not literally quantified and extracted evil "essence" condensed into a human shape, he's "pure evil", like the expression. You need to take it a little less literally. The first thing he does when he escapes containment, normal human containment not a Magneto prison dome, is try to murder someone who looks like the first person he killed. He's quite possibly even stupid and definitely had developmental and learning issues. Also low tier.

  7. I think that Freddy might be the most dangerous being if not the most powerful being in the unlimited power tier. If you look at what Freddy can actually do in even just the remake you have to take into account that the Entity severely limits what he can do in the trials. I think the characters in unlimited power levels are more dangerous cause the Entity actually has to wrangle them to keep them in check.

    Meaning it actively makes them weaker in order to control them. In fact if of the three than you think are unlimited power Freddy might be the one who I feel would actually try to sabotage the Entity in some way. Cause he's sneaky and a mystical being of some sort, maybe even try to take over if he could absorb some of the Entity's power.

    In Pyramid Heads lore it mention that the Entity actually calls to PH and PH sees the Entity as a being similar to the Town of Silent HIll itself that facilitates his purpose of being a punisher. Unlike Freddy I don't think PH would ever try to take over from the Entity itself as long as the Entity keeps giving him fresh people to punish.

    I am not sure I agree about Michael being Unlimited Power.. It's hard to peg down how powerful Michael is because there are at least 3 different timelines that the Michael in the game could be representing. Thorn Curse Michael, H20 Michael, or 2018 Michael.

    I feel like Thorn Curse Michael makes the most sense as being Supernaturally powerful. He's powered by an outside magical source and does some pretty amazing stuff in his timeline.

    H20 Michael, slightly less powerful, but also a long term planner, and clever enough to trick Laurie into killing an innocent man by stuffing him into a Michael costume.

    2018 Michael is in my opinion the weakest Michael in overall power, he's feels more like a shark, release him into the wild and he kills whatever is nearest and convenient for him to kill. And he clearly has aged and is mortal.

    Even Thorn Curse Michael feels a bit weak for Unlimited Power, I understand that in game Michael is one of the few Killers that breaks the Entitys rules by killing people basically whenever he want's without a Mori. But I feel that's more of a Force of personality thing rather than an indication of power. Michaels whole personality revolves around killing. No other Killers motivation is as simple as his, he wants to kill.

    I feel like Michaels strength in this case comes from the fact that the Entity has trouble leashing him to play out it's game. But I don't think Michael would be able to directly oppose the Entity in anyway unlike Freddy or PH.

    Partly because he's not a supernatural being in the same way even with the Thorn Curse, PH and Freddy are inherently supernatural, if the Thorn curse is in play i'd even say the reason that Michael is able to bypass the entity's rules is that the Thorn curse forces him too. And if it's not the Thorn curse it's because his brain is so wired to kill that the Entity has a hard time getting him not to.

    But in Either case I feel like that's the extent of his power vs the Entity. He wouldn't be able to mount some sort of plan if he wanted to to get out of the realm he's just doesn't have that kind of planning.

    Or maybe I am just overthinking this lol.
