  • It's been more than fine so far.

    Not fantastic map pressure, but not bad.

  • That anti loop ability alone makes him a very solid killer.

  • Yet to face a great one, and yet to die against one after the first day.

  • The longer hes out the easier it gets to avoid his line attack and even abuse it to extend the chase hugely for 1 missed attack, it's just like death slinger..a few of us saw he was mediocre from day 1 but nobody wanted to listen till they realized why we said that..already high rank survivors pretty much rarely get hit outside animation locks..could use either improved controls or a slightly better line attack

  • Pros:

    • Pyramid Head can save a lot of time using his cages and Final Judgement.
    • By using the trails around a loop (especially at a pallet), he can force a difficult situation.
    • His ranged attack can pass through walls.
    • DS and BT? Never heard of them.

    Cons:

    • To save time Pyramid Head NEEDS to get Survivors tormented. Which can be really hard outside of a loop.
    • Punishment is heavily telegraphed and gives a giant warning sign to dodge. Granted, it requires very quick reactions, but still.
    • The cages are too easy to get Survivors out of if you don't play like a sweaty, campy tryhard. They're hardly ever worth it.
    • Pyramid Head has no real map control.

    I think Pyramid Head is a decent Killer, but the difficulty of playing him will probably push players away. I know if I wasn't trying to level every character in the game up, I would have given up after the first day. After playing him for a bit, he's definitely strong, but his powers are very situational.
