The best killers in Roblox Forsaken right now are Guest 666 and Nosferatu, and the best survivor is Guest 1337. That’s the short answer. The longer one is that the roster is now 20 characters, 8 killers and 12 survivors. Azure’s Wrath (update 5.0.0) added Azure as a killer on July 17, 2026. Patch 5.1.0 followed in September with the Summer Games variants but no new characters.
If your tier list stops at 7 killers, it’s missing Azure. If it predates Nosferatu, Guest 666, Veeronica, or Jane Doe, it’s describing a different game.
Every character below is ranked strongest to weakest. Each entry covers the abilities that earn the placement and the in-game price, with a note wherever the community splits.
Forsaken tier list at a glance
| Role | S-tier | A-tier | B-tier | C-tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Killers | Guest 666, Nosferatu | Azure, c00lkidd, John Doe, 1x1x1x1 | Noli | Slasher |
| Survivors | Dusekkar, Guest 1337, Veeronica | Builderman, Jane Doe, Shedletsky, 007n7 | Chance, Two Time, Noob | Taph, Elliot |
How we ranked every character
I use the same method as our Anime Origins tier list. Three things decide each placement:
- How consistent the character is in chases and fights.
- How much value they get without luck or heavy team coordination.
- How much practice they need relative to the payoff.
Rankings reflect the current 5.1 patch, the ability numbers listed on the community wikis, and the major published tier lists.
One warning up front: nobody agrees on the killers. Forsaken Hub’s September 9 list puts John Doe and Noli in S-tier and drops Guest 666 and Nosferatu to A. The Forsakens Wiki list (August 28) has John Doe and Azure at the top and Guest 666 in C. Pocket Gamer’s October 2 update puts 1x1x1x1, Noli, Guest 666, and Azure all in S.
I lean toward the newer reads that favor Guest 666 and Nosferatu. I still keep c00lkidd and John Doe high, because almost every list agrees they’re strong. Where the split is real, I say so instead of pretending there’s a consensus.
All 8 Forsaken killers ranked

1. Guest 666 (S-tier)
| Price | Difficulty | Signature ability |
|---|---|---|
| $1,666 | Moderate | Blood Hunt |
Guest 666, or “Sixer,” gets stronger as a match goes on, faster than any other killer. Carving Slash and Eviscerate inflict Hemorrhage, which makes survivors drip Blood Orbs as they move. Collecting Orbs fills his Blood meter. A full meter triggers Blood Hunt, roughly 25 seconds of red-tinted blackout. During it, Sixer gets stun immunity, a speed boost, and repeated reveals of every survivor.
Once that momentum builds, it’s hard to stop, which is why several tournament formats reportedly ban him. His weak spot is tight looping. Survivor teams who know his patterns punish his size and jump timing.
Where lists disagree: Forsakens Wiki rates him C-tier because of that looping weakness, while Pocket Gamer has him in S. How skilled your lobbies are decides which read is right for you.
2. Nosferatu (S-tier)
| Price | Difficulty | Signature ability |
|---|---|---|
| $1,922 | High | Ascension |
Nosferatu arrived on November 28, 2025, as the final reward of the Masquerade Halloween event. He has the highest skill ceiling of any killer. His Levitation passive makes no footstep sounds. Hunter’s Feast grants a long invisibility window, and Bloodhook reels survivors in with a chain from range. Ascension turns him into a bat for aerial dive attacks.
The catch: miss a Bloodhook or an Ascension dive and you’re slowed and exposed. In skilled hands, he’s among the best killers in the game. In new hands, he’s an expensive way to lose.
3. Azure (A-tier)
| Price | Difficulty | Signature ability |
|---|---|---|
| $2,000 (most expensive killer) | Very high (5/5) | Inflorescence (Golem form) |
Azure is the newest character in Forsaken, added in Azure’s Wrath (5.0.0) on July 17, 2026. He’s a killer who controls areas with plant traps. His Echolocation passive lets his plants sense nearby survivors through sound and movement and briefly reveal them. His three trap and grab abilities:
- Seeker’s Bulb places up to three turrets that fire at survivors in range.
- Stigmatize lays vine snares that root survivors in place.
- Enstrangle is a tentacle grab that stops survivors running, cuts their stamina regen, and lets him throw the target.
Every hit stacks Atropa on survivors, which feeds his Sacrifice gauge. At 15 stacks, Inflorescence turns him into a Golem for 45 seconds. The Golem has stun immunity, 50% resistance to status effects, and much harder-hitting attacks, according to the AllThingsHow Azure guide.
So why A and not S? His early game is slow. He has a 75-stud terror radius (the range at which survivors hear him coming) and needs setup time before the Golem comes online. Stealthy survivors can avoid triggering his plants entirely. Map choice matters more for Azure than for almost anyone else.
Where lists disagree: Forsakens Wiki and Pocket Gamer both put him in S-tier. If you’re comfortable with trap placement, that’s a fair read.
4. c00lkidd (A-tier)
| Price | Difficulty | Signature ability |
|---|---|---|
| Free (granted automatically on your first game since 5.0.0) | Moderate | Corrupt Nature |
c00lkidd has no passive, but his three active abilities make up for it:
- Corrupt Nature fires a projectile that passes through walls.
- Walkspeed Override is a heavy-damage lunge that sets survivors on fire.
- Pizza Delivery spawns bots that hunt down nearby targets on their own.
He used to cost $900. Azure’s Wrath made him free on your first match, so you now get a top-half killer without spending anything. Few killers ask so little practice for so much payoff.
5. John Doe (A-tier)
| Price | Difficulty | Signature ability |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | High | Digital Footprint |
John Doe wins through map control rather than chase speed. Natural Malevolence and Unstoppable cap how long he can be stunned and punish survivors who step on his corruption trail. A buff to Digital Footprint’s shadow traps pushed him into top-tier talk. It’s the main reason Forsaken Hub rates him the strongest killer overall. 404 Error briefly reveals every living survivor’s aura.
Forsakens Wiki notes that he also has the smallest terror radius in the game at 60 studs, which makes those traps even nastier. The tradeoff is practice time. His abilities take real practice to land, which is why I keep him just below c00lkidd despite a similar ceiling.
6. 1x1x1x1 (A-tier)
| Price | Difficulty | Signature ability |
|---|---|---|
| $1,250 | High | Mass Infection |
1x1x1x1’s Mass Infection is the strongest area attack in the game, and it wrecks survivors who group up. Unstable Eye gives reliable full-map tracking. His January 31, 2026 rework turned him from a niche pick into a real contender, and he hasn’t been nerfed since.
Where lists disagree: older lists from ProGameGuides and TechWiser call him the single best killer, and Pocket Gamer still has him in S. He struggles on maps with lots of elevation, where his ranged skills are easier to dodge vertically. On flat or enclosed maps, the S-tier case is strong.
7. Noli (B-tier)
| Price | Difficulty | Signature ability |
|---|---|---|
| $1,100 | High | Hallucination |
Noli plays mind games. His Hallucination passive spawns fake copies of himself around the map, and Prankster plants decoy generators that punish survivors who don’t check carefully. Void Rush and Nova give him mobility and crowd control once mastered, but both take hours to use well. An earlier balance patch cut his web mechanic’s range and duration, and Void Rush is unreliable on loop-heavy maps.
Where lists disagree: Forsaken Hub and Pocket Gamer both rank Noli S-tier. I think the time it takes to master him keeps him mid-pack for most players. If you’ve already put the hours in, he can do better than this placement.
8. Slasher (C-tier)
| Price | Difficulty | Signature ability |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Low | Raging Pace |
Slasher replaced the original Jason character in update 3.1.0 over copyright concerns, with his abilities carried over almost unchanged. Raging Pace more than doubles his walk speed and reveals nearby survivor auras. Gashing Wound is a three-hit combo that grants full invincibility while Enraged. Azure’s Wrath also gave him Resistance after stuns, so survivors can’t chain stuns on him as easily as before.
He’s easy to learn and consistent across maps. He has no mobility tools and struggles against good loopers, which keeps him at the bottom, but he’s still a fine first killer.
All 12 Forsaken survivors ranked
1. Dusekkar (S-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| $600 | Support | Very high (hardest survivor) |
Dusekkar levitates, so his footsteps are silent, and his staff abilities reach further than any other support’s. Spawn Protection shields a targeted ally for eight seconds. Plasma Beam slows the killer or speeds up a teammate, depending on who it hits. Both abilities leave him exposed while channeling, so you need good positioning before he pays off.
2. Guest 1337 (S-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| $500 | Sentinel | High |
Guest 1337 shows up at or near the top of almost every Forsaken tier list I checked. He has the highest flat health of any survivor at 110 HP. His Block-into-Punch combo stuns the killer for up to 3.5 seconds on a clean parry. Charge is a knockback dash that cancels the killer’s current ability. His May 18, 2026 rework shortened his defense cooldown and overhauled parry timing. The timing is demanding, but no survivor punishes killer mistakes harder.
3. Veeronica (S-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| $750 | Survivalist | Moderate |
Veeronica, Forsaken’s first robot survivor, arrived with Guest 666 at the start of Chapter 2 on November 1, 2025. Once she’s set up, her skateboard and graffiti abilities give her the best chase mobility in the game. Vandalism places the graffiti her board needs, and Sk8 lets her outrun most chases while tricks recharge her battery.
The tradeoff: as a robot, she can’t be healed by Elliot’s pizzas, Builderman’s dispensers, or medkits. All her healing comes from Activate Battery.
4. Builderman (A-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| $500 | Support | Moderate |
Builderman is one of the easiest survivors to learn who still helps the whole team. Sentry Construction slows killers on sight, and Dispenser Construction builds a healing zone. Both can be destroyed, and both cancel if he’s hit mid-build. Even so, a well-placed pair can hold a chokepoint for a whole round.
5. Jane Doe (A-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Free via quest (can’t be bought) | Sentinel/Support | High |
Jane Doe is the newest survivor, added on March 19, 2026 at the start of Chapter 3. In the lore, she’s John Doe’s wife. Her Shatterpoint system gives her a second health pool with 40% damage reduction, and it only refills when she lands her own abilities. A fully charged Hatchet stuns the killer for up to 4.5 seconds.
Patch 5.1.0 weakened how her bonuses stack when more than one Jane is in a match, but it didn’t knock her out of A-tier. See the unlock steps in the FAQ below.
6. Shedletsky (A-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Free at the start of the game | Sentinel | Moderate |
Shedletsky has only two abilities, and both are excellent. Slash stuns the killer on a clean hit and gives brief damage resistance mid-swing. Fried Chicken restores a solid chunk of HP twice per round. He’s simple, low-risk, and forgiving. Plenty of players argue that one more ability would make him S-tier.
7. 007n7 (A-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| $500 | Survivalist | High |
007n7 is all misdirection. Clone spawns a decoy you can set to wander, path toward a spawn point, or follow your cursor. CoolGUI teleports him to the farthest survivor spawn after he stands still for a moment. He’s great against newer killers, though experienced killers read the clone quickly.
8. Chance (B-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| $777 (most expensive survivor) | Sentinel | High |
Chance is a gamble by design. Coin Flip either recharges every ability instantly or stacks Weakness on him. One Shot’s flintlock can stun the killer, misfire, or blow up in his own hands, depending on the roll. When the RNG goes your way, the plays border on broken. When it doesn’t, you’re a liability.
9. Two Time (B-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| $500 | Sentinel/Survivalist | High |
Two Time has no active abilities. Everything runs through Undying Devotion, a passive that revives him the moment he’d otherwise die. He comes back at half health with brief invincibility and a speed boost. The Weakness that follows leaves him fragile for the rest of the round, so treat it as a safety net, not a plan.
10. Noob (B-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Free (default starter) | Survivalist | Moderate |
Noob has three consumables:
- Bloxy Cola gives a speed burst.
- Slateskin Potion gives temporary bonus health.
- Ghostburger makes him invisible for a while.
They make him the best character for learning how chases work. He can’t help teammates, which caps how far he can go. Still, as a free pick with real self-preservation tools, he stays useful well past your first week.
11. Taph (C-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| $600 | Support | Low |
Taph is a trap specialist. Tripwire slows the killer and reveals their location to the team, and Subspace Tripmine locks them down if triggered up close. Placed well, both are oppressive. But the setup time, and the need for the killer to walk into them, make Taph inconsistent. That’s especially true against killers who can break traps from range. Azure’s own traps also do much of what Taph does, and do it better.
12. Elliot (C-tier)
| Price | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Free on most current lists (one April 2026 guide lists $350, so check your shop) | Support | Low |
Elliot is the easiest support to learn. Order Up! speeds up his healing as the team finishes objectives, and Pizza Throw heals allies and gives them a speed burst. Everything he does helps teammates, so he has no self-heal and struggles in solo queue.
Where lists disagree: Forsaken Hub ranks Elliot S-tier, arguing that healing is scarce enough to make him essential. That’s true in coordinated groups. Solo, he’s the weakest pick on the roster.
Which Forsaken characters should you buy first?
Start with what’s free: c00lkidd, Slasher, Noob, Shedletsky, and (on most accounts) Elliot. That’s a strong killer and a solid survivor before you spend anything.
For your first purchase, Guest 1337 at $500 is the best value in the game. He’s cheap, top-tier, and stays relevant as you improve. On the killer side, John Doe at $1,000 is a better buy than the pricier killers until you can actually win with Nosferatu or Azure. Skip Chance as an early buy unless you enjoy variance.
Jane Doe costs nothing but time, so start her quest chain early.

Forsaken Hub lists The Stalker and The Ringmaster as upcoming killers, so expect the killer rankings to move again when either lands.
Big content drops like Azure’s Wrath also tend to bring a wave of crash reports. If Forsaken closes on you mid-round, work through our fixes for Roblox crashing first. If you get kicked with “unexpected client behavior,” see how to fix Roblox error code 268.
Final thoughts
Forsaken has gone from a Jason-and-Noob roster to 20 characters, and Azure shows the developers are still adding killers that play nothing like the old ones. Treat this list as accurate for patch 5.1, not forever. I’ll update it when the next killer drops.
If you split your time between Forsaken and other Roblox games, our Search For The Needle class rankings and best towers in Tower Defense Simulator use the same S-to-C approach.
Forsaken is an asymmetric horror game on Roblox. One player is the Killer, and the rest are Survivors who repair generators and hold out until the round timer ends. It borrows its structure from Dead by Daylight, but the cast comes from Roblox history: admins, infamous accounts, and old platform legends.
There are 20 playable characters as of October 2026: 8 killers and 12 survivors. Azure, added on July 17, 2026, is the most recent.
It depends on whose list you read. Guest 666 and Nosferatu top this one. Forsaken Hub picks John Doe and Noli, and Pocket Gamer puts 1x1x1x1, Noli, Guest 666, and Azure together in S-tier. If you want one safe answer, John Doe is in the top two tiers on every current list.
Yes. Since Azure’s Wrath (5.0.0), you get c00lkidd automatically the first time you play. He previously cost $900.
You can’t buy Jane Doe. Talk to her NPC in the basement beneath the lobby cabin to start a four-step quest chain. Then find specific documents and items while playing as a survivor.
Buy him from the shop for $2,000 in in-game Money, which you earn by playing matches. He’s the most expensive killer and has a five-star difficulty rating, so he’s a poor first purchase.
c00lkidd or Slasher, and both are free. Slasher is the simplest. c00lkidd can do more than Slasher without needing much more practice.
Guest 1337. He’s S-tier or close to it on almost every list we checked. He has 110 HP, a Block-into-Punch stun, and a Charge that cancels the killer’s ability.
