Nurse could be cooler but the effects on her blinks are pretty tame
Huntresses base outfit let’s her down as I find it kinda boring.
Spirits moaning sounds are annoying to me and her limbs couple move a bit more
Plague and Spirit are S tier for visuals in my opinion.
Here’s mine. There’s no way for me not to put my baby in the top spot (please don’t judge me).
I would put deathslinger up he’s reall well designed especially audio wise his laugh is sick
Plague could definitely be S but spirit isn’t imo
Her body is literaly chopped up with air in between the pieces while she blinks in and out of visual sight passively...like how much more impressive for visuals do you want? I feel like this is being skewed by Spirit hate. This is literally just visuals.
Spirit’s moaning sounds are adorable
Oni not being in at least S Tier is a cardinal sin
They’re annoying to me now if you want cute listen to deathslinger’s little laugh when he hits someone
Nah I’m just saying it would be kind of cool if her parts just moved a bit more. You could even tie this into gameplay and have her parts move more when she’s phasing
Although I do appreciate her facial rig that’s pretty cool
I’m sorry I barely put that much thought into making this list because I’m lazy lol
Oni is the biggest Chad known to man

I didn't include licensed killers since I wanted to make a tier list based off of BHVR's originality with their killers (visually).
Damn I always loved clowns design
I feel conflicted on some killers like myers. Myers himself is pretty basic already (which is intentional) so its hard for me to know how to rank a licensed killer like that. I do think he looks slightly off though
I think going for this is more correct. Because the original Killers are BHVRs creativity, while the licensed Killers are just what they were in their respective franchise. So their design should not be rated high, because this is just how they look (and how BHVR HAS to do them).
Overall, I think that Spirit should be pretty high, she looks really good. Plague is also one of my favorites. It also depends if you want to take Cosmetics into account or not - with Cosmetics, Legion can become awesome, while Plague will probably downgrade a bit, since every Cosmetic looks roughly the same.
That’s why I ranked huntress and spirit a bit lower because I dislike their default cosmetics. Their other sets do a better job of showing their design better
Heres mine
Forgot to add Blight but id put him in S
Yeah I was unsure about a lot of the licensed killers but I based them off their accuracy to the movie
I’d put wraith a bit higher. His design is simple but it’s very fitting and the sound design on his bell and weapon are very nice
Clown’s visual design imo is perfect. From his laugh after a hit, his weapon clean and even his grunt after vaulting a window all ad to his unsettling charm
otherwise good list
Here's my take on the original characters. I forced myself to limit it to 3 in each area
Here is my licensed killer take. Top are those that are fine as is, pyramid head is largely okay but could use minor tough up, pig/Michael have a lot of the right components but looks a little off and cartoony, demo has features that aren't textured very well, and Krueger not only looks off but is based on the least popular Krueger but fails to even look like him well
Hard disagree on billy and Freddy
while Freddy is the worse one I think they did a great job recreating him from his laugh to his sound design
I find billy really cool and I love his snarled breathing as it fits him very well alongside his scream when he sprints
He isn't bad, just a regular old clown. I dunno, maybe I should be nicer to the poor guy :p
If I were to take cosmetics into consideration, I'd probably rate him higher.
That's exactly why I did it. The only thing we might be able to take into consideration in terms of "originality" is the skins made for certain killers, with an example being Demos new c u m d o g skin.
Also.. if Plague needs to have some more "oomph" in her skins instead of the same ol stuff, the devs should just slap a Lady Dimitrescu skin onto her & call it a day😉.
Freddy definetly has one of the better audios visually he seems the worst while other killers have at least okay both.
Billy i think his audio is okay. Not terrible but not amazing same as visually. He just doesn't standout in either to me
Wasn’t on the list but he goes S I love his audio design and his resemblance of the hallowed blight skins
