Dead By Daylight has a huge gallery of rogues and protagonists. Many of them are entirely original creations from the folks at BeHaviour Interactive, meanwhile, others are bad guys and heroes from other iconic IPs such as Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Here you will find stats that reveal the most and least popular DBD killers and survivors for November 2024 so far.

We are set to get a new killer and survivor before the end of the month. Chapter 34 was originally planned for December, but it is now coming out on November 28th, and it will bring forth the arrival of The Houndmaster and Taurie Cain. There is more part of the November 2024 roadmap including a free trial, and don’t forget to claim all the Bloodpoints available for 2v8 mode before it departs on November 26th.

The Houndmaster and Taurie Cain will both be fantastic additions later this month, but already Dead By Daylight has a great roster of playable survivors and heroes. Some are better than others though as proven by the ladder of popularity.

Most and least popular Dead By Daylight killers November 2024

Nightlight is a fantastic resource that provides statistics for Dead By Daylight. Its killer stats are from “21,924 games,” and they are conjured from between October 21st to November 18th.

According to Nightlight, the most popular DBD killer between this time period was The Huntress. She had a pick rate of 5.7% along with a kill rate of 54.22%.

The second most popular killer was The Dark Lord a.k.a. Dracula from The CastleVania chapter. He had a pick rate of 5.81% with a slightly higher kill rate of 58.19%.

The Mastermind a.k.a. Albert Wesker from Resident Evil was the third most popular killer with a pick rate of 4.77%, and then there’s The Shape a.k.a. Michael Myers from Halloween with a pick rate of 4.17%. Returning to original killers, The Blight was fifth with a pick rate of 4.16%, but the highest kill rate of 61.83%.

As for the least popular, aside from The Houndmaster only available in the PTB, the rock-bottom duo were The Skull Merchant and The Hag. BeHaviour Interactive’s The Hag only had a pick rate of 0.95%, meanwhile, The Skull Merchant was only slightly better with 0.98%.

Other dishonorables include Freddy Kreuger’s The Nightmare with a dismal 1.28% pick rate. An update is on the way for The Nightmare, but BeHaviour Interactive has said it will not be the return of old Freddy.

Now for the survivors, these statistics are also comprised from between October 21st to November 18th, but it’s via “87,671 players” instead.

The clear fan-favorite by a large margin was Sable Ward with a pick rate of 8.92%. She was well ahead of Mikaela Reid in second place who had a pick rate of 5.29%.

The top five most popular survivors were all female as Feng Min was third with a 4.89% pick rate, Kate Denson fourth at 4.56%, and Mega Thomas fifth with a 4.36% pick rate.

As for the most popular male survivor, it was Trevor Belmont at sixth with 4.22%. Surprisingly, Lara Croft was eighth with 3.77%, which is surprising as she was only added this year and is massively popular in other multiplayer games such as Fortnite.

In regard to the least popular survivors, the bottom three were Yoichi with a 0.61% pick rate, Quentin Smith at 0.53%, and Detective Tapp at 0.51%.

It is interesting to look at the most used killers and survivors purely for fun and to get an insight as to which characters are currently hot within the playerbase. Check out Nightlight for the full leaderboards along with other statistics for perks, maps, and more.
