The Dead by Daylight survivors tier list may actually surprise you. While some of the placement of certain survivors is to be expected, a few might be listed higher or lower than you would place them. That is the fun of tier lists. While they are subjective, it can be fun to compare notes as gamers and see what everyone thinks.

Follow this list and you just may find yourself escaping the death loop more often. Not that the Dead by Daylight death loop ever truly closes, though.

Dead by Daylight Survivors Tier List (July 2022)

S Tier

These are the best of the best. The survivors who actually survive.

  • William “Bill” Overbeck
  • Mikaela Reid
  • Meg Thomas
  • Jake Park
  • Feng Min
  • Élodie Rakoto
  • Claudette Morel

A Tier

You cannot go wrong with anyone in A-tier.

  • Nea Karlsson
  • Dwight Fairfield
  • David King
  • Kate Denson
  • Laurie Strode
  • Nancy Wheeler

B Tier

These are overall solid survivors. Well-balanced.

  • Ace Visconti
  • Cheryl Mason
  • Felix Richter
  • Jane Romero
  • Jill Valentine (apologies to all Resident Evil fans reading this)
  • Leon Scott Kennedy (again, apologies)
  • Yui Kimura
  • Zarina Kassir

C Tier

Some strengths, but these survivors barely survive.

  • Adam Francis
  • Detective David Tapp
  • Jeffrey “Jeff” Johansen
  • Steve Harrington
  • Yun-Jin Lee

D Tier

Avoid these survivors if you can. As fun as they may be, they just aren’t balanced.

  • Ash J. Williams (We love “Ash Versus Evil Dead” but Dead by Daylight developers didn’t do him justice here)
  • Haddie Kaur
  • Jonah Vasquez
  • Quentin Smith
  • Yoichi Asakawa

Our Dead by Daylight Survivors Tier List will at least help keep you alive a little while longer as long as you follow it. But like every guide we do, these are only suggestions. Play your best builds and survivors for your best experience.

We are only here to cheer on the slaughter.
