Suggestions for levelling survivors and Killers

I had none of the DLCs at all until the past few months and now I have them all. So I have Doctor to 50, Ghostface to 50,Huntress to P2 for killers,and Feng Min to 50, Kate to 50,Bill to 40,Claudette to P2 for survivors. I'm just kinda looking for a suggested order to level the others, assuming I want to make things easier as far as ones that give extra BP and have the good perks on some characters with the least effort. I was kinda doing Hag for Ruin,Bubba for BBQ,Laurie for DS. I know it's subjective but just wanted to see what people think.

    Laurie for DS is good. I’d recommend David King for Dead Hard. DH is kinda unreliable lately cause dedicated servers but I still run it in all my builds. I like Dwight for Prove Thyself and Bond. Meg for sprint burst. Trapper for brutal strength. :)

    My advice is this, vaguely in this priority order (Cannibal first, then prioritize killer/survivor as you like). This gets you all the big "meta" perks.

    Killers:

    • Cannibal to 35 for Barbecue & Chili.
    • Clown to 40 for Pop Goes the Weasel.
    • Legion to 30 for Discordance.
    • Shape to 30 for Save the Best for Last.

    Survivors:

    • Dwight to 30 for Bond.
    • Jake to 30 for Iron Will.
    • Meg to 40 for Sprint Burst and Adrenaline.
    • Laurie to 40 for Decisive Strike.
    • David to 35 for Dead Hard.
    • Nancy to 40 for Inner Strength.

    ^ I agree with this person! Nancy’s inner strength is SO good.

    That's very helpful,I appreciate it. It's always kinda hard to decide. I got everyone to 15 in case I wanted to use them,and then after that I thought I was on the right track but wasn't sure. There's also a few times I wanted to put some points into new guys.

    I'm kinda wishing I had bond for the healing challenge lol. My Dwight is only 25 and appears to have no items :/

    I actually was able to snag a few perks from the Shrine too. Adrenaline and Head on being the most useful. Forgot about those. They usually don't give good ones out like that lol.

    Only 5 levels to go for Bond, then. You're close!

    For what it's worth, these are the approximate costs of leveling a character, if you do it efficiently:

    • Level 1-15: About 282,000 BP
    • Level 15-40: About 780,000 BP (to go from 1-40 and unlock all teachables, it is roughly 1.1 million BP)
    • Level 40-50: About 500,000 BP
    • At Level 50, bloodwebs recycle infinitely, with BP values of ~110,000.

    Don't bother prestiging, unless you love the blood-soaked cosmetics or really want the achievements. It's REALLY wasteful, especially before you have everything unlocked. I would pick 1-2 survivors as your mains, and put all of your BP into them for full perk libraries and whatnot, plus whatever killers you are most interested in.

    For what it's worth, here's a spreadsheet that I made some time ago to calculate leveling costs. It is, in my experience, very accurate.

    For those wondering about the weird bolding at some levels, it's because this: It costs about 111k BP to get to level 8, plus about 250k BP apiece to get to 18, 27, 34, and 40. These are my milestones whenever I level a new character.

    I would do David and Bubba first. Bbq and Wglf will help your grind immensely.

    Yeah I had already prestiged Claudette and Huntress before I knew anything about the game,and before there were that many characters to choose from,lol. I'll probably take one of them to P3 just for the achievement,but after I finish this stuff, and use Claudette as my main.

    This is important for grinding.
