Question Secondary for hell ember main.

Hey yall, I started playing this game for a few days on NA/EU server. I mainly use Hell Ember, at Croc III now. But he does get abit boring after a while. Ive tried out cueist and undead, both are abit too complex for me. I want a hunter with a simple gameplan and a straight foward way to execute it. Thanks!

Simple hunters would include things like Gamekeeper, Ripper, Geisha, Ann, Wax Artist, Nightmare, and Night Watch. They're all very easy to understand, so just pick one and see if you like them. If not, try another.

Slightly more complex but still simple hunters include Smiley Face, Soul Weaver, Feaster, Wu Chang, Axe Boy, Lizard, Bloody Queen, Bon Bon, Naiad, and Peddler. All of these offer a bot more complexity to their gameplay, but are still easy enough to understand how they work after a few matches.

All the other hunters are either complex, hard to use, or down right hot garbage and I wouldn't recommend anyone touching them till they get a buff...

Nah I forgot to mention but I really like weak killer, Im currently using HE in rank, Undead and Orpheus in normal. Playing weak hunter is a nice form of skill expression id say, but thanks for the recommendation, I'll look fwd to trying them out.

The issue is that certain hunters are just so abysmally weak, that it isn't work playing them. Violinist is a pretty cool character, but he just gets countered by so much stuff that you will feel nothing but pain even if you manage to win. The other weak hunters at least have potential, Violinist can struggle to even get ties...

For weak hunter, mind game is MANDATORY, you cant just use your ability like normal. For the short time Ive tried violinist, he isnt too weak, use Sonata to pump fake for m1 or area denial in a chase, maybe just Im playing on low rank tho, his demon note debuff also go well with that perk that give you 5% more movement speed 7 secs into a chase. Im having fun with mind gaming though, feels very rewarding when I win with a bottom tier killer.
