Hey everyone, today we’re discussing the strongest state of every killer throughout Dead by Daylight history. This isn’t going to be hyper exact or accurate, but more trying to pinpoint the general time based on their strength, and the surrounding meta and such. If you think something’s wrong or another point in time was a killer’s strongest, let me know, down below. Let’s get into it.

Pig used to be able to use Coup de Gras with her ambush and able to get double distance and speed when Twins release or PTB.
Isn't trapper weaker now because they nerfed grass?
Hag was stronger on plagues release throughout the entire span of old corrupt intervention
The strongest state of de no
You’re not the real AZHYMOVS!!! He does not say „bye“ like that 🤨
Dbd can be stressful so that's why I watch you your voice is so calming
what about when trapper could trap hooks since there was only one direction you could hook from
I mean this as purely constructive criticism and I'm in no way trying to insult you. But the poor gameplay displayed in the background of each video is always so distracting from what you're saying. If you can afford it, please start commissioning gameplay for the background of your videos!
I'd argue that trapper was strongest in the beginning just because he was the only killer who could deal with infinites and you could also trap under hooks.
Blight was definitely during old Ruin/ Tinkerer/ Undying. The "small pp" killer build on him was just too strong.
Forgot infinite mending legion.
tbh plague had her best time wehn the cleansing pools didnt give u automaticly the red puge wehn all are full of red, so she could just make everyone perma injured with no counterplay to it
Trickster's peak was before they removed the synergy between his add on that made blades bounce and the one that pierced survivors. Nemesis's peak was before they nerfed Marvin's blood.
They nerfed Nemesis' best addon Marvin's blood semi recently so I'd definitely say he's worse now than before that change, still a good killer though and overall this was a great video.
dredge is very fun, as someone who mains him I employ that you try him out some more
also also
I don't understand why people think rat liver was a good addon lol. just because it was the least dogshit addon in the pile didn't make it a good addon. Also rat liver effects was "nerfed" because they made it partially base kit. I firmly believe that demo was the strongest after his addon rework (so now)
*Happy fire up enjoyer noises*
One thing I think would be important to consider about this topic is: The gameplay elements have majorly changed alongside the killers. Back when the game initially released, there wasn't much of a "meta" per say, at least not in the way it exists now. Some things just were the way they were. With that in mind, I'd argue Trapper back then was actually one of the better killers… which isn't hard, at the start there were only three. But with not many of the newer perks to go with, he was the only real way to get map-control back then. Wraith was just hidden and Billy just had a solit mobility and insta-down. Trapper on the other hand could basically be at multiple places at the same time, because of his traps, and also end chases pretty fast through them. The only thing that'd counter him was Small Game, which did work for basically disabling his map pressure, but it didn't help when already in a chase.
Slinger's debuff was tough. I liked his mix of ranged weapon and stealth. It fit well with his lore and made him seem like a perfect bounty hunter. As a survivor, you had to pay a lot more attention and couldn't just rely on heartbeat. The quick aiming and shooting was indeed too powerful, though, and barely gave a survivor time to react.
Slinger is still my main killer, though. Because of his debuffs you have to play more skillfully now. And because he is played so rarely, many survivors are overwhelmed with him at first😛.
P.S. if you want to make a theory video again, I have a suggestion for you:
Bill and his team are, according to L4D lore, carriers of the zombie virus that broke out in their world, which is why, for example, the pilot who rescues them from the roof of Merci Hospital mutates into a zombie. However, they themselves are imun and do not mutate into zombies.
The plague from DbD was infected with the plague that affected her world when she died.
In DbD it is so that the Entity pulls its victims with body and spirit into its realm. These are then completely disappeared from their dimension.
Now here is the theory: If Bill and the plague physically exist in the realms, they also brought their respective viruses into the world. Actually they should infect all other survivors and killers and let them mutate to zombies / die of the plague.
For the plague, the entity has created a solution and distributed healing wells in his worlds to prevent the death of his henchmen and victims. However, it has not created a cure for Bill's disease.
After Bill has been trapped in the Etitus for five years, he should have infected everyone and/or turned them into zombies. Does this mean that Bill was cured by being taken to the Etitus? Or, because he actually died in his dimension, the virus "died" with him? (which in turn would also mean that he is cured).
But if he wasn't cured, did the two zombies accompanying Nemisis end up not being abducted with Nemisis from the Resident Evil dimension at all, but by Bill with the zombie virus infected other survivors who mutated into zombies? Does this mean that the other survivors Bill meets in the trials are or have become immune to his virus?
And one more thought, because you made a video about the glyphs: could Bill's virus also cause the entity itself to become infected and die as a result? Could Bill's disease, which has caused destruction and the demise of humanity in his dimension, end up being an escape for all the victims of the Etitus? After all, the entity seems to be unaware of Bill's illness because it has not (yet) created a remedy for it.
I find it in this sense also interesting that just Bill and the plague got a common rift and tome. Whether Behavior has thought something😉
I'd say that trapper was also stronger before some map changes, because the grass now is easier to see through, making his traps less effective
I wonder if you could potentially do a video delving into Killers that it's implied the Entity may have also taken, but we've yet to see?
You could bring up the unused Teacher and Smasher killer, but there also exists a tome or journal entry, maybe from the Observer (I don't remember) that talks about a killer, who was a woman who poisoned men for their money? And I've found out from your videos that there are carvings possibly depicting ancient Greek survivors fighting a Minotaur, which I interpreted as the Entity taking the Minotaur as a killer?
I don't know if there are other examples, but it is an interesting thing to think about; the idea that the Entity has pulled so many people and beings from across the universe into its realms that there are still killers we haven't seen already there
That bye at the end was so happy it made my day
Wouldn't it be more sensible to actually be using footage of the killer that you're talking about as you're talking about them?
I remember 5 blink nurse was a thing😂😂
I miss quick scopin Caleb Quinn he was so fun and so smooth to play the nerf to his ADS speed didn’t do much to his strength it just makes him feel worse to play
I thought the meme was that bhr always nerfs the twins, not the pig. Hell, they just received another nerf in the last update, so I'd say they started off pretty bad and have only gotten worse.
