S tier Killers
S tier — meta staples when the player knows the kit. Three paid Killers dominate most lists; none are free.
Community die of death killers tier list arguments often start here — Artful zone control, Harken noise snowball, and Killdroid ranged denial cover different map types. None replaces learning free Pursuer chase fundamentals first.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| S |  Artful | 700 Points | Trap / zone — Implement walls | Artful |
| S |  Harken | 880 Points | Noise snowball + Enrage chase | Harken |
| S |  Killdroid | 1000 Points | Ranged bots + explosives | Killdroid |
Artful — S-tier trapper
700 Points for S-tier zoning on choke maps — Temple, The HQ, Grandma's Backyard gates. Civilians stacking CarePad hate Implement routes. Higher skill floor than melee — buy after Pursuer fundamentals.
Harken — S-tier noise
880 Points glass cannon (~400 HP in community notes) — Enrage speed when civilians spam Dash and Revolver. Delete Caretaker first. Bottom of S for fragility vs ceiling.
Killdroid — S-tier ranged
1000 Points luxury zoner — Killbots, flight, kamikaze confirm. S-tier when projectiles connect; drop to A in your hands if you face-tank M1. Open Baseplate sightlines reward rockets.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| A |  Pursuer | Free | Consistent chase — Stalk + Howl | Pursuer |

Badware is the poster child: 500 Points teaches PC macro, but tier drops when squads focus destroy duty every round. In passive pubs that ignore triangles, Badware climbs toward S — document that when you disagree with a die of death killers tier list hot take.
| Tier | Killer | Cost | Why B | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B |  Badware | 500 Points | PC snowball — collapses if triangles cleared | Badware |
Badware — budget B-tier
500 Points first buy for many players — B-tier in high-skill chase lobbies where PCs die instantly; S-tier snowball when triangles live all round. Strong teaching tool before 700+ purchases.
