**Caducus Ego**
Overall, Caducus has proven to be more reliable than Husk for several reasons. First, Caducus’ Swipe ability is far superior to Husk’s Slam. Swipe offers greater forward mobility and features a wider swing, allowing it to hit multiple Survivors at once. Additionally, Caducus’ movement ability, Spectral Dash, doesn’t deal damage but is much faster, less awkward to use, and grants stealth, enabling a more unpredictable approach.
Foul Breath provides significant utility as a ranged projectile. It can be used to snipe low-health enemies or to disrupt a generator’s progress, slowing Survivors as they attempt puzzles. Dark Descent, Caducus’ ultimate, boasts massive range and grants extensive map visibility. Unlike Husk’s ultimate, you cannot be hit or stunned during Dark Descent’s flight, and it can down multiple Survivors on its descent.

**Commander Survivor**
In a high-skilled, team-based setting, Commander is arguably the best Survivor. Commander excels because of the ability to reliably locate generators for the team using Survey and then speed their completion through Strength in Numbers, facilitating faster escapes when the killer arrives.
Strength in Numbers is considered the best skill in the game when finishing generators and making your way to escape doors. Additionally, the Leadership passive allows you to locate teammates near a killer and assist them in speeding up their tasks. Survey also helps you and your team spot the killer before they approach a generator, boosting overall team awareness.
While Commander offers tremendous team utility, keep in mind that this Survivor lacks solo power, which can make playing with an uncoordinated team challenging.

**Noob Survivor**
Noob is a well-rounded Survivor, blending team utility with solid solo capabilities. The Stun Slingshot can be launched from a distance to save both yourself and allies, with better aiming potential compared to Fjord’s Slash, making it harder for killers to dodge.
Bloxy Cola is incredibly useful for repositioning if you get spotted on a generator, or for regenerating stamina when being chased or trying to assist teammates. Although the passive ability isn’t particularly strong, Noob’s core skill set is effective for both team play and solo carrying.

**Fjord Survivor**
Fjord is primarily designed as a team support, and while he can be very effective, several issues place him in A-Tier. His Slash ability stuns enemies for five seconds, which is powerful when combined with other stuns, but is difficult to land due to a slow telegraph that allows killers to dodge easily. A good tactic is to bait killers into corners and initiate Slash around corners for surprise hits.
Warrior’s Call reduces damage taken by allies but slows Fjord significantly, effectively acting as a taunt that draws the killer’s focus. Combining this with Commander’s Strength in Numbers can help your team escape more easily. However, Warrior’s Call leaves Fjord vulnerable, and once the killer finishes focusing on him, the team-wide buff ends as well.
The best strategy with Fjord is to use Warrior’s Call to save teammates, then attempt to Slash when the killer charges, retreating immediately afterward.

**Husk Ego**
Husk’s abilities can feel awkward and slow to land, which is why Husk ranks lower than Caducus. However, with practice and familiarity with timing, Husk actually deals more damage. Forward Leap is excellent for initiating AOE damage against groups working on generators, but it requires planning due to the slow startup—avoid spamming this move.
Ancient Punishment provides some mobility and deals more damage than Caducus’ damage skill, along with a stun effect, though it can be tricky to land effectively. Fortunately, the ability currently has a wide hitbox in Alpha.
Husk’s ultimate, Crushing Slam, is weaker than Caducus’ flight ultimate but still offers execution potential and some mobility. It automatically counters Fjord’s Slash. The main drawbacks are that Husk can be stunned more easily than Caducus and cannot bypass terrain, so Survivors can vault to avoid the attack.

In summary, Caducus stands out for reliability and mobility, Commander shines in team-based scenarios, Noob offers a strong balance of utility and solo power, Fjord delivers potent team support with some vulnerability, and Husk can deal high damage with a steeper learning curve and certain limitations. Choosing the right character depends on your playstyle and team composition.
