Rating the Moral Alignment of All 28 Killers in Dead by Daylight!

Hey everyone, today we’re doing an alignment chart, or rating really, for our killers. The alignment chart is a chart for ‘moral classification’. Like the survivor ratings, I’m basing this off of the descriptions for the alignments listed on the Dungeons & Dragons alignment page on Wikipedia. Let’s get started.

  1. I would argue that Dredge is either Neutral or Chaotic Evil. In the lore it is hinted that it was summoned on purpose by Otto Stamper, who sacrificed his followers to it. However it is also mentioned that he does this because he is a member of an old cult that follows dark gods, so I think that Dredge is actually one of these gods who manipulated Stamper in order to manifest in the real world by absorbing the remains and souls of Stampers own followers, making it a truly evil and manipulative entity

  2. I would absolutely say that the Oni is Lawful Good, if not loosely Chaotic Good. He did all the things that he did because he thought that was what he had to do by his code as a samurai and as a noble, to defend the honour of his family and of samurais as a whole.

    He also gained absolutely nothing from any of his actions, so they couldn't possibly be selfish in any way. And as a samurai, he always followed orders and so cared little for person freedom and he obviously didn't hate being told what and what not to do.

    He may have basically committed genocide, but it was still only because he thought he had to do it and not because he enjoyed killing people or because he just wanted to go on a rampage.

  3. Nemesis should have been unaligned.
    He doesn't really have a consciousness, more like a trained animal + some programing. Thus would not be able to take any moral decisions.

  4. Wraith I don't feel is chaotic good, unless I misunderstood his lore I got more of a vibe of he tries to not do bad things but as long as he's kept out of it he doesn't really care what's going on. He was upset he was involved in the disposal of bodies at the auto yard but I can't see him giving a care if he was just aware it was happening.

  5. I been waiting for this to happening and I'm glad and happy it came sooner, I was expecting Ghostface and Doctor to be on chaotic evil but after you explaining of them using lawful evil as their advantage, it really suits them. also, unaligned is more interesting alignment and I would gladly to put it as my all-time favorite alongside with Chaotic Neutral.

  6. I personally don’t think susie and joey are any morality they just suffer from peer pressure and are just going along with the group because they don’t want to loose there friend’s it’s mentioned that the legion are all seen as outcasts so aside from each other frank and Julie are probably there only friends

  7. Idea: a moral alignment chart for the mains of each survivor and/or killer (I’m saying this as a joke but I’d happily watch a video of that if you wanted to make it lmao)

  8. Nurses tome lore blows. They completely changed what she was originally that got people so invested in her story. It would have been ok if they hadn’t made her such as sympathetic character in her base lore. Therefore unless they change her base lore to match I will continue to ignore her tome lore.

  9. Sally despises the patients because the Broken Woman decided to manipulate her fragile and traumatized mind at the right time. Sally wasn't in the best state of mind when they started talking about "cleansing Crotus Prenn of the weak and crazed". She was manipulated by the Broken Woman. That's why she's changed from a kind-hearted nurse to a depressed, psychotic killer. She was just as unlucky as the Hag, in my opinion. The two suffered so much and in the end they became monsters. It's so sad…

  10. I feel that Nurse killed because she was struggling mentally, she saw death as an escape to freedom and wanted to free the sick patients

    The entity saw her, heard her crying out and forced her to be one of his killers, he reminds her that ‘death is not an escape’ and it’s all probably why Nurse’s blink causes her to groan in pain, she realises killing is wrong but has to live with the fact she has killed and is now being forced to kill

  11. Onryo is more Chaotic Evil than neutral. She is very much deliberately malicious. Yes, her backstory is tragic but she will never show mercy, only extort people to help her kill more and more people

  12. That was a great video I see what you mean with the oni and I agree but also to some degree I see oni as possibly lawful evil. An idea I had for another video is what perks you think are good on each killer as well as killer concepts you would be interested in seeing

  13. alot of the placements are right but some were off like deathslinger is well a bounty hunter in his own lore making him lawful evil give's me rattle snake jake from rango, perfect lawful evil charcter and for doctor its easly chaotic evil that even when the cia gave him all that he wanted in his oringinal lore killed that whole facility in about a few months of working with that site giving into that lore allignment

  14. Nah I know Pig is Lawful Evil. They follow jigsaw's traps sure but she always sabotages them because she let John's philosophy and her trauma corrupt her. She chose to became judge and executioner when all John is (in his mind) is just a Judge and Jury.

    Man is it sad that Amanda's sabotaging isn't reflected in her power and only in an Add-On
