As of Oct 7, 2026 (Patch 10.2.0), The Ghoul, The Spirit, The Blight, The Nurse lead the S tier in Dead by Daylight Killer Tier List — an expert-seeded baseline with no player votes yet. Every vote re-ranks the board live.
Patch 10.2.0 just dropped and the ballot reset — weekly movers pause while the new meta settles. See how the community re-voted →
📈 Patch 10.2.0 winners & losers — how the community re-voted the meta →
The killer meta never sits still: a new chapter lands roughly every three months, basekit reworks and add-on passes drag old killers up or down whole tiers, and Chapter 41: Chorus of Sin has just added THE JUDGMENT — the game's first divine killer, whose Divine Light pillar marks survivors with Heresy and can exile one to a separate map tile.
This board ranks all 44 killers at high MMR on the current patch, as voted by the community. The Judgment enters mid-board as a deliberate placeholder: he is one day old and no tier source has settled data on him yet. If your main is criminally underrated here, that's what the vote buttons are for.
One vote per entry (change anytime), recency-weighted so the list tracks the current patch, minimum votes before ranking, re-tabulated live. New boards start from a clearly-labeled expert baseline until real votes take over — displayed counts only ever include player votes. No win-rate scraping, no single expert. Full methodology →
