As of the most recent Portrait of a Murder update, there are now 26 playable killers in Dead by Daylight. New players with access to the multiple DLCs and licensed killers will have no shortage of characters to choose from. One option available to every player is the Nurse, a default killer and one of the first added. While many gamers will have trouble with "hero creep" or balancing with newly added characters, the Nurse remains one of the best, if not the best, killer in the game.
