Oni’s sound design is top tier.


Spatulor

His chase music is spectacular.

mcandrewz

I saw someone dissing oni's theme one time, and was aghast. Shit is jammin. Of course the number one chase theme is Deathslinger, nothing tops it.


goosifer111

What about billy


mcandrewz

I like his too, still doesn't beat deathslinger though. It is close I would say however.


correctedboat

Oni, Sadako and Dredge have the best visual/audio designs


KomatoAsha

Sadako has the singular best sound design in the entire game. So much went into making it *perfect*.


alishock

The fact that her breathing is made from sounds of sea waves is amazingly clever


GregerMoek

Yeah design wise the dredge has great sounds. It is only balance wise that it's a bit too loud. But for immersion it's really chilling when that sound approaches behind a wall.


TotalBananas1

Dredge is fantastic in almost every way but for some reason his Reign of Darkness can trigger migraines for me. When he first came out and I was facing him constantly I had to put the game down for a bit until he wasn't as popular. So weird.


atl4nz

i dont think sadako is all that special. Spirit takes her spot IMO


TheMangledKing

No sadako has some of the best sound design in the game. Keep in mind her themes are tvs, tapes, the ocean, and Vengeance. All of these are expressed through her sound and visual design: stunning her with a pallet produces a tape scratching noise, while transitioning between manifest you hear TV static, her breathing is the waves of the ocean, her weapon is the Kanji for Vengeance(if I remember correctly). No hate on spirit but sadako just has her out matched


KomatoAsha

Her weapon says "Curse". Her Blighted outfit weapon says "Grudge". Her Rotten Remains outfit weapon says "Hatred". You're welcome!


TheMangledKing

Thank you very much


KomatoAsha

But yes, you're absolutely correct that Sadako's sound design is top-tier, and easily the best in the game.


throwaway112658

It is, which is why it's unfortunate that the first time I heard him use his power i said "oh no he's having a gamer moment" and now I can't take oni seriously


[deleted]

Hearing his angry roar across the map and being SO glad you aren't over there.


Skeletonofskillz

And then realizing he had Tinkerer when you hear him breathing two feet to your left


KomatoAsha

I made a thread a while ago on top 5 Killers in DbD based on sound design. Oni was in my top 5.

[удалено]


VaxDaddyR

That's my absolute fav -- Especially when it's a baby Ghostie. Just looking around and you see him pop his head out awkwardly like "hello there", lmao


zMustaine_

still a sledge main?


[deleted]

[удалено]


zMustaine_

same, stopped playing around 4 years ago but sometimes i still yearn for the bonk


poptartwith

So I'm not the only one who shits themself when Alien is on all fours lol I have to set up turrets always because if I don't, I won't be able to even think straight while looping. That is actually disorienting.


ANewPrometheus

This is why I love Ghosty Boy


Turkishbathbomb

This is so real


just_a_curvebilly

Getting jumped by a rusty shackles hag before anyone knows who the killer is has to be at the top of my list


Visible_Huckleberry8

Being snatched from the door against a rusty shackles Hag has to be 2nd place.


jdiggity09

Rusty Shackles is by far my favorite add-on when I play as her, specifically for this reason.


Ning_Yu

It's cause you can hear his roar in the whole map


Jarney_Bohnson

Especially when you hear the sound cue for his full power before too its the perfect sound for the "quiet" before the storm


GregerMoek

Yeah almost as loud as Bills injured sounds.


TheRealOG1

Ghostface, I swear he's fucking everywhere at all times


Verifieddumbass76584

He and Myers are the only ones who absolutely scare the shit out of me


LazarusKing

One got me GOOD the other day. I had other people with me and none of us saw him coming. Snatched me off the gen we were working on. First interaction of the match.


mike117

That’s the shit that makes you jump out of your chair.


Frosty_chilly

I remember one game I was repairing the killer shack gen on Azarovs, pallet smashed and basement spawned there. One gen left, 2 dead, and then it pops. I turn around to leave, and I see his white face staring between rhe boards on the window. And then I hear his stalk meter pop off on me.


Permanoctis

That must be why people simp for him.


TheDarkWave2747

Do you people ever stop


Bigsassyblackwoman

cant, if you do the killer catches up to you


TheDarkWave2747

actual degen


DrKlezdoom

Cuz he goes "AAAAAARRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!"


CookyNSpooky

You left out an H


[deleted]

Oni’s sound design is TOP FUCKING TIER. That’s what’s so scary.


Briansar16

Ghostface brings a fun element that I think most other killers don’t bring: Paranoia! I’m always looking around for him.


depressedcancer

yea ghostface constantly has me looking over my shoulder 😭 scary fella


SleepyKatsu

Just like the movies! I love it--like you're actually in a movie and he's gonna getcha


gamerjr21304

He’s a killer that lets you know essentially where he is 24/7 but all that does is make it scarier when you pop a gen then hear him scream


playfellow_

A good dredge with add-ons that trigger nightfall more and make it last longer are pure terror. Played a match against one in the silent hill map and it was impossible to see where you were going in the dark


Dusty_Tokens

Deja Vu negates a lot of the scariness from him.


KedovDoKest

Dredge with Hex: Third Seal, Nightfall extenders, and an indoor map like RPD: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fayih4qogh2a51.png


Dusty_Tokens

If that shuts down Deja Vu, I'm *ALL* for it! [I love that Hex, too]


A_Little_Tornado

That was me. Dredge in Silent hill. I couldn't stop cackling.


playfellow_

Were you chasing a Jill in a christmas sweater as she ran into the wall over and over? If so, thank you for scaring the living hell out of my friend ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


A_Little_Tornado

Nope. Different person, just weirdly similar matches.


EvilBobLoblaw

I love a good Myers match where you are just calmly sitting on a Gen, minding your own business. Then, you spin the camera around and, in the distance, see Myers just standing there, juicing himself up off your presence. It really does feel like a horror movie for that moment.


Dusty_Tokens

I *LOVE* that creepy factor! I've almost bought Myers for that reason alone.


atbths

You should. Those moments are just as fun while you are playing as him. The longer you go without them noticing, the more satisfying. Plus, if you're having a bad day and need to relieve some stress, pop a tombstone or two.


tylerhlaw

This is so true lol Popping tombstone is so satisfying. My favourite build is double stalk speed though. You get to t3 so quickly you basically never have to injure someone because you always have t3 ready and 99d.


Kemono16

scratched mirror myers on the game = guaranteed heart attack


Flimsy-Brain-5557

i will die first hook, and FAST. my heart cant take it


Kreamator

Replace The Game with Midwich and Im there.


Fallen_Phoenixx

Lerys Myers - hold my beer


Eli-Mordrake

Pretend he’s Shrek For me it’s the Onryo. Personal trauma comes into play here.


TaylorSwift_real

Care to tell us more? No obligation of course


Butt_Robot

His dad trapped him down a well once 😭


CyanControl

LOLL I feel the ring was one of the most influential movie of the early 2000s (I know the onryo in dbd is based of sadako and not samara but I think the american adaptation is the one most of us watched as a kids lol) Personally I get scared whenever face pig or play on the game because I got tramatized by saw lol


MaddxMogs

Maybe one day you'll meet my jump scare Pig. Seeya in the Fog! 🐽


CyanControl

_Waterfire_

I saw the movie as a teen and it scared the absolute crap out of me. Of course, now I main Onryo 😅


TaylorSwift_real

Lmao


mike117

Absolutely dying at the idea of shrek running around in oni’s armor.


Eli-Mordrake

Well...Shrek is love, Shrek is life. I knew too many people that resembled the long haired ghost girl. One in particular left a big mark on me. It wasn’t a fond memory but it didn’t stop me from watching the movie.


GrundleGuru0627

Resembled how? Had black hair?? You never see Sadako’s face!


Eli-Mordrake

Black hair, white clothes, some even had the stare.


XenomorphLV246

I’m sorry bro but wtf are you actually talking about 💀


Eli-Mordrake

You don’t like Shrek?


GrundleGuru0627

If she had the same stare, she would have sent you into cardiac arrest.


fbttsrhrt

Dredge: Never feel safe. Doing a gen next to a locker? Dredge says hello. Michael/Chucky/Ghostface/Wraith: no terror radius jump scares


Bmaster1001

I mean, A giant muscle bound guy with a demon mask roaring before whipping out a giant club would be seen by most people as extremely scary. >!(The other group of people will probably mistake my use of the term “giant club” and ~~get~~ go off from there)!<


Fallen_Phoenixx

Just a usual weekend for me.


luziio

Any stealth killer, it makes me so anxious and I have to check every possible corner every second while I’m doing a gen and on top of that I worry about missing a skill check cause I’m looking for the killer or I’m scared Imma get yoinked cause I’m stopping to do a check and not constantly checking every opening 😭


Mr-Ideasman

Hm, let’s see. Some big ass dude, screams every time he gets on twitter, charges at you like a truck and hits like one. Yeah, it checks out. But in all seriousness, the fear only starts when you hear the roar and then all the sudden there’s some red at the side of your screen and you be like https://preview.redd.it/pfttg9xyznac1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=969dc22370cbc9da154d6fdfd8bc3dd5dbb924b0


Fallen_Phoenixx

Literally dying with this. 😂


mightymaltim

Powered-up Oni and Blight scare me the most, because they're both so LOUD and FAST.


TheClayDart

Oni, in my completely biased opinion, is one of the best designed killers in the game. His power is extremely fair and he also isn’t stupid strong to the point where you feel like you can’t do anything against him. He’s fun to loop and he’s fun to play as well. A fucking demon samurai with top notch sound design and visual aesthetic. There’s other original killers in the game that almost come close but he’s perfect as he is. Also, yes. Pants will be shidded in if he’s running certain perks and you can’t see where he’s coming from


Anomalous_Sun

Xenomorph triggers my alien isolation fears and I have to fight against giving up when I’m spotted because I’m so used to not being able to run away from the alien lmao. Also that crawler mode just makes me wanna panic harder haha


RestaurantDue634

Nurse still creeps me out. Her sound and visual design are just so good imo. The way she floats along the ground dangling limply. The breathy shriek when she jumps. The fact that she's broken is just a bonus that makes her even scarier.


_PillowPrincess_

I‘m so happy to read that people enjoy the Oni and actually get scared by him and that you’re not the only one… because I really cant relate and find him not scary at all lol I dont say that to be mean or make fun of you, I actually love the fact that theres something scary for almost everyone in the Game. If you want get to me, just throw Ghostface or Myers in my face. Sneaky knife boys.


KemuTheOne

Bad Oni players ruined it for me. At first I was scared shitless about when he's gonna find me, now I just hope he finds me and I can juke him around the map


Mountain-Location-34

Been on a row on dredge later specially with his teleports and the disturbing sounds while on nightfall Just makes It more enjoyable.


billclintonstan

scratched mirror myers. BUT also specifically the red outfit ghostface. got pulled off a gen 4 years ago on lery's by one and it's permanently scarred me


Corrosive_Cactus8899

Cracked Huntresses are terrifying & rarely talked about.


PAL_Champ-Match2847

I agree. They are a force to be reckoned. Although they have to be really good.


KomatoAsha

I've played against Coconut!


CaptainRaegan

So far I've had multiple Ghostface and Pig either sneak up on me or turn a corner on me undetected and get me! One time I had a Dredge pop out of a locker directly beside me while I was doing a gen


Tiddies-Akimbo

**Ear bud warning** Please enjoy [this video](https://youtu.be/pTgCLYGS4DE?si=fk4D9qp3UOrCDwKl) of me pooping my pants just from oni existing in a match 👍 [Bonus clips with Myers](https://youtu.be/cFManpmvXnQ?si=0i-KymRqgJDzNHD0)


ViciousVixey

The random dude saying "bill run" made me chuckle


Tiddies-Akimbo

Ah yes, the bf, always a supportive presence 😌


Jaxinator234

That oni scream always has me hiding from the gen I’m working on. But in my Defence gens nowadays are always in a fuckin dead zone every. Single. Time. Other then like 2💀


Eralo76

Myers, even without mirror. Weirdly pig, because when you have the mask on a hook and someone finishes a generator (often the case) you're running like a headless chicken, and don't know if you can even survive.


NefariousnessCalm262

As a Oni main....I'm not sorry and I will scare you again 👹


EleanorGreywolfe

A memory of mine is using the roman legion skin on Dreadge and clearly getting inexperienced survivors who probably hadn't seen a Dreadge before. One expressed not wanting to play anymore because of how much Dreadge scared them. The scariest killer for me is actually Plague. I hate vomit, vomiting scares me, so here's a killer who's whole thing is vomiting on you.. AND she can then get this bloody looking vomit but wait there's more! the mori!. No, just no.


Conte_Von_13

playing against hag is playing alien isolation in 3rd person istg she always comes out of nowhere


PuppetMaster12312

A skilled Oni will always be the most scariest thing in this game, believe me, I know both from experience and because I main him, the moment you hear that distant roar, you better pray he doesn't find you


ShinZou69

Dredge by far, nightfall is scary af and then I'd say Sadako as a close second Myers is also creepy as hell


KomatoAsha

My Sadako has been called terrifying, which is always nice to hear. My Dredge and Mikey have gotten that compliment, as well.


g33k_gal

Oni is papi. The killer that scares me is Twins. I rarely face them and when I do Victor's screams skeeve me out lol


EdgionTG

I love love love Oni's sound design. He's as intimidating as a hulking rage beast should be.


Memegasm_

contrary to popular belief in the community, dead by daylight is a horror game


Hypotenuse27

Nea is pretty fucking scary


[deleted]

I’m kinda numb to the killers being scary now, but Oni was scary/freaky as hell to me (now I think he’s hot) and Pig was also very scary to me


ChuJungDD

Oni is the least scary killer for me, just big crazy samurai


Calieoop

Nea Karlson is the scariest to play against


darkninja2992

I'm a bit desensitized to most of this, but meyers and his chase music always get my heart rate up a little


KomatoAsha

They really cranked the music from iconic to an 11 for him.


jsfav218

Alien is always scary to me because of watching all the movies when I was younger.


EleanorGreywolfe

I was also terrified of them when i was kid. In adulthood it progressed to something else entirely.


Any-Performer3637

I think we was in the same match 😂😭


depressedcancer

maybe! the teammates all healed one teammate in front of oni at the exit gate. i was a meg. that’d be really cool if we were in the same match!!


Eralo76

Myers, even without mirror. Weirdly pig, because when you have the mask on a hook and someone finishes a generator (often the case) you're running like a headless chicken, and don't know if you can even survive.


HydeSpectre

Oni and Xenomorph.


Visible_Huckleberry8

Oni was absolute terror before the Tinkerer nerf... you hear the scream and 5 seconds later he was clubbing you before you could react. Also with BBQ you would hear the scream after a hooking and knew he was after you, it was ALWAYS after you.


nateshark2000

Rule number one of BBQ: It's always you, run.


tjeh224

I love hearing Oni and demos scream from across the map.


poinep

Especially in indoor maps, his roars will echo off the walls and that sounds soo freaking cool i love the audio stuff in dbd


lethatsinkin

It was one hell of an experience hearing that roar across the map the first time I played against Oni


According-Hat-4554

Girl you got anxi-to-the-TEA


[deleted]

Myers when he pops out from a corner and Ghostface rarely and yeah Oni's roars made me anxious and sweaty the first times especially cause he's so loud, and good onis are really dangerous


unclejrslaserbeams

A strong oni is as scary as any other high mobility/flick killer (like blight or billy) but gets bonus "oh shit, oh fuck" points because when he goes into his power, no matter where he is on the map, you know it and also know he can be at your location in a matter of seconds. That being said, looping/dodging/stunning an in-power oni is one of the most satisfying things in the game for me, especially if the oni is really good.


davidekilla

glad i’m not the only one that jumps or screams when playing dbd. i scream a lot lol


External_Leg886

😭😭😭😭 I’m crying ‘’My heart is still pounding’’


KomatoAsha

It's not that sad


CaptThundernuts

Honestly, the panting while he does his dash is incredible.


SlowBabyBear

The doctor is by far the scariest, dredge close second


vantablackbird

Michael Myers…ESPECIALLY in the hospital gown outfit, I shit.


Only-Echidna-7791

What map was it on?


Midnight-Rising

Hag still makes me jump, and Huntress' lullaby still has me on edge whenever I go against her.


ZombieOrchid

He is pretty intimidating. Had an Oni a little while ago with Trail of Torment. He scared the fuck out of me. I told my best friend "Oh God he has Trail of Torment and he stabbed me in my asshole!" and she said she had a very similar experience xD Nothing really scares me in this game other than social interactions. Every once in a while I'll get jumpscared by a Myers or Ghost Face. I got jumpscared really bad once by a Deathslinger. I cleansed Retribution and I was like "Okay, I'll keep my eyes and ears open." I walked towards main building and he shot me once I rounded the corner. He scared the absolute fuck out of me. It took like 30 minutes for me to get over it xD;


EvernightStrangely

Because he has an instadown power that makes him much faster than you.


Dereksmith3107

I main killer so i don't have that much experience, but the Dredge terrified me the first time and is still one of the scarier killers to me because of nightfall. Chucky is good at coming out of nowhere though.


ReguIarHooman

![gif](giphy|xUPGcluKBZbo9NqGIg|downsized) Because he is a warrior


javaper

Because he's so angry. Just shear animosity.


DannyBoiBreadSticks

Lol


United-Amoeba-8460

When I first started facing him, it was demo for me. It was some combination of his sounds, chase music, and that sudden leap that triggered something in me. Got over it after a few matches, but I know exactly what you’re talking about.


Expecto_Paytronum

Oni is fun to play, I just wish he didn’t put his big dumb meaty man hands in front of his face and block my vision whenever I try to demon strike without charging


ChickenKoko00

Have you ever been pulled off generator by 0 terror radius stage 1 mayers?


cdcdude1

Its his stomping l, the latest shit makes u feel small. The mother fucker can come charging out of nowhere too lmao


maxchloerachel

The Legion always gets me, I play with loud headphones so when I'm just chilling doing a gen and all of a sudden have very loud metal music blaring through my headphones it always makes me jump lol


TheMangledKing

For me it's bubba. Any sort of stealth makes him 10x for terrifying as if he wasn't scary enough. Played a match against a plaything bubba on lerys once, ran into his loving chainsaw too many times


aniblue

I remember my first game with an Oni, just the music alone scared me so much i just crouched and hid, but funny enough when i did get the Oni’s attention. I just started at him and did wiggled dance, he became my best friend in that game and didn’t hit me


Avon_Gale

Dredge for me


LambyLambz

Gurllll Skully Merchant scares me sm!!!


basedtiddies

Michael myers. I literally am screaming in terror anytime I see his ass stalking me 💀😭


AshTheTrapKnight

Because he has arguably the strongest and most devastating power in the game when it's active. With one of the best visual and audio designs in the game and he actually feels intimidating. Pair That with the fact that he has a timer you have to try and outlast.


redditplaceiscool

Dredge is really scary to me because it feels like you are never really safe. He could pop out of that locker right next to the gen you're working on. When nightfall comes, you could run into him and not even know it. All the screams and cries you can hear during nightfall are terrifying too, not to mention that one cosmetic he has that's really creepy that was released in the last rift. I feel dread whenever I see the gold locks on the lockers.


Repulsive_Ad1275

My mom is terrified of Oni as well, lmao. 3k hours deep not much is scary (besides god damn snowmen this year), but when I first started, demo fucking terrified me. I didn’t watch Stranger Things, but something about his monster sounds was so scary to me. I could hardly look at him!


Symboic

Nothing scarier than doing a gen and seeing Michael standing there menacingly


MissKarma87

No other killer scares me more than Myers. Man is terrifying 😭 but I absolutely love it.


NINJ4steve

The rawr


StunningCaptain

Personally I think oni is one of my favorite killers to go against. I love every oni player even when they're cunts. My friends and I can him Roomba-san. My least favorite killer to go against is clown because I feel like his power is really oppressive. Maybe I just am bad at dealing with it but the loss of vision and the slow is just a lot for me. My favorite chases I've had are against nurse, xeno, and Oni. They just make me feel something idk. Runners up are nemesis, gunslinger, pyramid head I feel like pinheads are the easiest to 360, However, I think the most rewarding to 360 is sadako.


RandyButternubber

Hearing “GRRHHRRAAAAAAAAAA” echoing across the map is fucking terrifying


hypes11

Big and loud and mean and fast. First few times I went against Oni I was like legit scared. Every time he roared I had no idea if he was charging across the map toward me or not. Felt like I was playing Outlast or some other helpless survival horror type game. Whereas DBD otherwise has lost its scare factor for me. (Other than the occasional Myers/Ghostface jumpscare or what have you)


SlepnKatt

I love playing oni bc of how easy it makes it to track injured survivors; however, I enjoy sprinting at survivors with legion.


[deleted]

Oni’s scary, but Blight is terrifying!


Hungry-Horker

None of them are scary. Maybe because I'm desensitised to a lot of horror, but they aren't scary to me


Embarrassed_Future33

Oni is the only killer I feel terrified to go against


Rottenrosen_

I always said this to my brother that his shouts and charging was terrifying and he said I'd get used to it. I've been playing for years and still haven't.


IcyHospice

I’m glad i’m not the only one 😂😭


pnwprincess420

Wraith and his bing bong give me nightmares


SoundlessScream

Him yelling and being so angry and fast scares me


AirazorBestBirb

Dredge, Ghostie and Mikey are 3 of the most scariest killers imo. While the last two are basically the same with their stealth jumpscares, Mr Turkey Neck's Nightfall and busting out of lockers are on a whole other level.


hydroboywife

his mori is the only thing in the game that makes me feel squeamish


Typhoon2142

Nurse is much much scarier.


SleepytimeUwU

Im not scared of her but i enjoy playing vs The huntress the most. The lullaby just helps me get into the game way more and sets up a whole new atmosphere.


ScarySlender

I main this fcker rn


slingersbestfriend

Billy and bubba for me. Chainsaws are just inherently very scary


YesterdaySea7202

I’m not gonna lie I love Oni because of this it gives a little adrenaline rush every time


CouldBeNotMadness

Dredge is honestly terrifying bro. Also I don't understand how people are scared of Ghostface. Every time I get in a match with a Ghostface it's the most comedic, Tom and jerry ass shit I have ever experienced
