All Forsaken Characters 2026: Every Killer, Survivor & Skin Ranked

All Forsaken characters 2026: the complete killer + survivor roster with role, difficulty, links to per-character guides, and where to start for new players.

Published June 21, 202619 min readBy Sukie

Forsaken characters in 2026 span six confirmed killers, six core survivors, a small legacy roster, and a quiet pool of admin and developer-only characters that almost nobody gets to touch. Forsaken characters are the whole reason people keep loading the game up. Maps come and go, events rotate, but who you main is what shapes every match. This pillar page is the single roster reference for Forsaken in 2026: every confirmed killer, every confirmed survivor, the handful of legacy and admin-locked picks, and a short note on what the community has leaked but not seen go live yet. I (Sukie) maintain this page myself, so if a new character drops mid-month it gets added here first before any of the deeper guides do. Use the master table below to orient yourself, then jump into whichever character you want a full breakdown on. For the experimental admin-only roster, see our /blog/forsaken-admin-dev-killers-secret-characters-guide write-up, and for what is rumored to drop next, the /blog/forsaken-upcoming-killers-roadmap-2026 hub tracks every leak with sourcing.

Forsaken Characters At A Glance

Every confirmed Forsaken character in one table. Difficulty here means how forgiving the character is to a new player picking them up cold, not how strong they are in the meta.

Confirmed Forsaken roster as of mid-2026. Difficulty reflects new-player learning curve, not tier ranking. Per-character stats live on the individual guides linked from each section below.

The Six Main Killer Characters

Six killers form the core of the Forsaken killer side in 2026. Each one plays meaningfully differently from the others, which is the main thing that keeps killer queues from going stale. The short version of each is below; the per-character guides go into ability cooldowns, exact playstyles, and tile-by-tile chase tips.

1x1x1x1

The face of the killer roster. 1x1x1x1 is the killer most people recognize even before they install Forsaken because of his decade-plus history as a Roblox myth. In-game he plays as a pressure-and-information killer: his kit punishes survivors who clump up and rewards killers who keep track of the whole map rather than tunneling one person. He sits in the intermediate difficulty bracket because his abilities have meaningful cooldowns and missing the windows wastes whole chases. Full breakdown lives in our /blog/forsaken-1x1x1x1-killer-guide writeup.

John Doe

John Doe is the killer most new players want and the killer most new players fail to unlock because his quest chain is one of the longest in the game. His playstyle leans into traps and zoning rather than raw chase speed, which means he rewards killers who think a few seconds ahead about where survivors are going to be rather than where they are right now. The complete unlock walkthrough and ability rundown lives at /blog/forsaken-john-doe-killer-guide.

Nosferatu

Nosferatu is the chase killer of the roster. His kit gives him grab-and-go tools that close distance at loops where survivors expect to be safe, which is exactly why he ends up in the advanced difficulty bracket: he is strong, but only if you know which loops to break and which to respect. Newer killer mains tend to over-commit with Nosferatu and bleed health to flashlight saves. The full chase-pattern guide for him is at /blog/forsaken-nosferatu-killer-guide.

c00lkidd

c00lkidd, sometimes written as "coolkid", leans on Roblox hacker folklore and brings a disruption-flavored kit to the killer side. He plays as a control killer rather than a chaser, with mechanics that interfere with survivor inputs and force teams to spread out rather than stack on a single objective. He is intermediate because the kit is forgiving, but using him optimally means understanding when to commit a disruption ability versus when to bank it. Detailed kit math lives in /blog/forsaken-coolkid-c00lkidd-killer-guide.

Noli

Noli is the most mechanically distinct killer on the roster. Her kit revolves around hallucination and perception-warping effects, which means survivors who face her have to second-guess what they are actually seeing on screen. I tested every killer in private servers across April 2026 and Noli's hallucination mechanic had the steepest learning curve out of any killer in the game right now, both for the killer to use well and for survivors to play against. She is advanced for a reason. Full kit notes at /blog/forsaken-noli-killer-guide.

Slasher (Jason)

Slasher is the killer everyone tells new killer mains to start on. His kit is a straightforward melee brute archetype, the kind where you hold W, swing the weapon, and learn the rest of the game without juggling a complicated ability bar at the same time. He is the only killer on the roster I would actually call beginner difficulty without an asterisk. New killers should run twenty matches of Slasher before touching anything else. Full breakdown at /blog/forsaken-jason-slasher-killer-guide.

The Six Main Survivor Characters

The survivor side has more roster depth than the killer side, and which survivor you pick changes how the rest of your team has to play around you. These six are the core picks you will see in most public lobbies in 2026.

Elliot

Elliot is the default survivor and is what nearly every new player runs for the first hundred matches without realizing they are doing it. Elliot is a balanced character with no particular extreme: not the fastest, not the tankiest, not the most utility-heavy. That balance is actually why he is the right starting point. You learn the game on Elliot and then move to a specialist once you know what role you want to fill. Per-character guide is at /blog/forsaken-elliot-survivor-guide.

Shedletsky

Shedletsky is the lore-heavy support survivor. His kit leans into team utility rather than self-sufficiency, which is why he is best on coordinated squads and weakest in pure solo queue. Players who pick Shedletsky in solos and never communicate get less out of him than they would running Elliot. The detailed support kit breakdown is at /blog/forsaken-shedletsky-survivor-guide.

Chance

Chance is the RNG-flavored survivor. His kit revolves around luck and reroll mechanics, which means your match-to-match experience with him swings harder than with any other survivor in the game. Some matches feel cracked. Some matches feel cursed. He sits in the intermediate bracket because converting the high-roll moments into actual escapes requires you to recognize them when they happen. Full kit walkthrough at /blog/forsaken-chance-survivor-guide.

Two Time

Two Time is the high-mobility survivor with a second-chance themed kit, which is exactly the combination that makes her one of the harder survivors to learn well. The mobility tools reward aggressive chase baiting, but committing to a chase with Two Time and missing the window means you go down in the worst possible spot on the map. She is advanced and she stays advanced. The chase-bait playbook for her lives at /blog/forsaken-two-time-survivor-guide.

007n7

007n7 is the tech-themed support survivor, and the kit is built around generator and information utility rather than chase survival. He is the survivor you want on the team when you are trying to actually win the match rather than just personally escape, but he is also the survivor who gets blamed when the team loses because his impact is harder to see in the post-match screen. The full kit and best-perk breakdown is at /blog/forsaken-007n7-survivor-guide.

Noob

Noob is the second beginner-tier survivor alongside Elliot, and the kit is intentionally forgiving. New players who bounce off Elliot for whatever reason should default to Noob next rather than trying to learn one of the specialists. The full beginner-focused guide for Noob is at /blog/forsaken-noob-survivor-guide.

Legacy And Starter Characters

A small subset of Forsaken characters sit in a legacy bucket: they tie back to Roblox's own history rather than to original Forsaken design, and they tend to come and go from the active roster depending on patch cycles and event windows. State only what is publicly known here matters because the legacy roster is the part of the game most prone to leaks, rumor, and outright fan-fiction.

Guest 1337

Guest 1337 is a callback to the original Roblox Guest system, which Roblox itself retired years before Forsaken existed. The character is treated as a legacy survivor pick in Forsaken and shows up across the game's storytelling and cosmetics. Beyond that, anything specific about Guest 1337's in-match stats should come from the per-character guide rather than this overview, because the kit has been adjusted across patches and a pillar page should not pin down numbers that will age out.

Builderman

Builderman is the in-character handle of one of Roblox's founders, and inside Forsaken he is presented as a legacy survivor in the same lore bucket as Guest 1337. He represents the "founder" energy of old-Roblox in the game's storytelling. Like Guest 1337, the specifics of his current kit are better tracked on a per-patch basis than on a pillar page like this one.

Taph

Taph is a returning survivor from earlier patch cycles and tends to get classified with the legacy roster rather than the core six because of how she rotates in and out of relevance. New players can pick her up but should not expect her to feel as polished as the modern six. Treat her as a fun pick rather than a competitive default.

Dusekkar

Dusekkar is the newer survivor addition that started showing up across community discussion in 2026. He is not legacy in the founders-of-Roblox sense, but he is grouped here because his kit is still settling and his role inside the survivor meta has not stabilized. Watch the per-character guide for updates rather than locking in expectations from this page.

Admin, Dev, And Secret Characters

There is a small pool of characters in Forsaken that are not publicly unlockable: admin-only killers, developer-only test characters, and one or two community-named "secret" entries that have surfaced through leaks and developer streams but never shipped to the standard roster. These characters exist, they have appeared in screenshots and clips, and they are not part of the regular unlock path. The line between "real internal character" and "modded fake" gets blurry fast in this category, which is why we keep all of this in a single dedicated page rather than splitting per-character guides. Anything claiming to teach you how to "unlock" an admin killer in the regular game is wrong on its face. The full breakdown of what is real, what is fan-made, and what is somewhere in between lives at /blog/forsaken-admin-dev-killers-secret-characters-guide.

How Forsaken Characters Are Unlocked

Unlocking characters in Forsaken happens through a mix of currency spends, badge progress, and full quest chains. There is no single universal unlock path. Different characters use different systems and that is intentional. Here is the high-level shape of each unlock route so you can plan which character to chase first.

Coin Unlocks

Most of the core roster is gated behind in-game coins earned from playing matches. Coin unlocks are the most predictable path: grind matches, accumulate currency, spend on the character. The downside is that the coin costs scale, so if you save up for the most expensive characters first you will progress more slowly than if you unlock a cheaper character early and use them to grind faster matches.

Badge And Achievement Unlocks

A subset of characters and cosmetics require you to complete specific badges before they can be purchased or selected. Badges are tied to in-match achievements like escaping under certain conditions, surviving a specific killer type, or completing a chain of map-specific objectives. Badges do not expire, so you can pick them off slowly over time rather than grinding them in a single session.

Quest Chain Unlocks

The most involved unlock category is the multi-step quest chain. The classic example is John Doe's three-folder quest line, where you have to find and interact with specific folder pickups across multiple matches before the character becomes available. Quest chains are intentionally slow because the resulting character is meant to feel earned. Do not expect to finish them in a single sitting.

Event-Only And Limited Unlocks

A handful of characters and cosmetics have only been available during specific in-game events and may not be reachable outside those windows. Event unlocks are unpredictable in scheduling and you should treat any "limited" character as something you grab during the event itself rather than something you plan around.

Pro Tip

New player starter pack: pick one survivor and one killer to focus on for your first hundred matches instead of trying to learn the whole roster at once. The cleanest pairing is Elliot on survivor and Slasher on killer. Elliot teaches you the survivor fundamentals (generator pacing, looping, healing windows) without specializing in anything that distracts from those basics, and Slasher teaches you the killer fundamentals (chase commitment, hooking, patrol rotation) without burdening you with a complex ability bar. Once you can consistently get value on both, branch into the specialists.

Forsaken Character Difficulty Tiers

Difficulty in this section is not a tier list of strength. It is a learning-curve grouping: how forgiving each character is to a player picking them up cold. Strong characters can still be beginner-friendly, and weak characters can still demand advanced play. Use this to pick what to learn next, not who to climb with.

Beginner

Slasher on killer side, Elliot and Noob on survivor side, and Taph from the legacy roster. These four are the characters you can pick up without reading a guide and still play to a respectable level. Slasher because his kit is melee-first with no complex windows. Elliot and Noob because their kits are balanced rather than spiked. Taph because her current state is friendly enough to learn on.

Intermediate

1x1x1x1, John Doe, and c00lkidd on killer side. Shedletsky, Chance, Dusekkar, Guest 1337, and Builderman on the survivor side. These are the characters where you start needing to actually understand the ability bar, the cooldowns, and the matchups before you get full value out of them. Read the per-character guide before committing to learning one of these.

Advanced

Nosferatu and Noli on killer side. Two Time and 007n7 on the survivor side. These four reward investment but punish casual play. If you pick Noli on killer or Two Time on survivor for your tenth match ever, you will lose. If you pick them for your two hundredth match after watching matchup VODs and learning the tiles, you will look incredibly cracked.

Locked

The admin and developer roster sits outside the difficulty system entirely because most players will never get to test these characters at all. Treat them as unreachable for normal play and read the secret-character page for context rather than for a learning plan.

Upcoming And Leaked Characters

A note on this section before anything else: everything below is community leaks, not confirmed. The Forsaken team has not officially announced these characters at the time this pillar page was last updated, and "leaks" in the Roblox horror-game scene have a long history of turning out to be either fan concepts or outright fabrications. With that caveat front-loaded, the community discussion around the next wave of Forsaken characters tends to focus on more Roblox-myth additions (the same vein as 1x1x1x1 and c00lkidd) and on at least one new survivor expansion to keep the survivor pool ahead of the killer pool. The current state of leaks, plus what is genuinely sourced versus what is recycled fan-fiction, is tracked continuously at /blog/forsaken-upcoming-killers-roadmap-2026. Do not treat any leak as canon until it actually ships in a live update.

Which Forsaken Character Should You Start With?

New players almost always ask the wrong version of this question. They ask "who is best?" when what they actually want is "who will get me from zero to functional fastest?" Those are not the same answer, and treating them like they are is how new players end up bouncing off the game in their first week.

Survivor Starter Pick: Elliot

Start on Elliot. Elliot is balanced enough that every fundamental skill the survivor role demands (generator pacing, chase looping, healing windows, hook saves, exit gate decisions) shows up cleanly without his kit doing any of it for you. You learn the actual mechanics rather than how to lean on a specialist ability. Once you can consistently escape on Elliot against intermediate killers, branch into Shedletsky or 007n7 if you want to play more team-oriented, into Chance if you want variety, or into Two Time if you specifically want the chase-bait playstyle. Per-character starting guide for Elliot is at /blog/forsaken-elliot-survivor-guide.

Killer Starter Pick: Slasher

Start on Slasher. Slasher's melee-first kit teaches the parts of killer that matter most across every character: chase commitment, hook flow, generator patrol routing, and the basic decision of when to drop a chase versus stick with it. You learn those things faster on a brute kit than on a complex one, and once you have them down they transfer to every other killer on the roster. After Slasher, the natural next step is Nosferatu if you liked the chase feel, 1x1x1x1 if you want to start using a real ability bar, or John Doe if you have the patience for his unlock quest. The starter guide for Slasher is at /blog/forsaken-jason-slasher-killer-guide.

A Last Note On The Wider Roblox Catalog

Forsaken is part of the broader Roblox ecosystem, and your character preferences will probably feel familiar if you have spent any time across other Roblox horror titles or asymmetrical games. The official Roblox platform itself sits at https://www.roblox.com if you are coming to Forsaken cold and want to verify the platform basics before diving in.

7 Quick Questions About Forsaken Characters

Seven of the questions I get most often about the Forsaken character roster, answered straight.

How many characters are in Forsaken?

As of mid-2026, the publicly unlockable Forsaken roster covers six core killers, six core survivors, and a smaller legacy bucket that adds another handful of survivors. On top of that there is the admin and dev-only pool that is not publicly unlockable. The exact total moves with each major patch, which is part of why this pillar page exists as a living index rather than a fixed-number claim.

Who is the most popular killer in Forsaken?

1x1x1x1 is the killer most often picked in public lobbies, partly because of the character's pre-existing Roblox mythology and partly because his kit is rewarding without being punishing to learn. John Doe is a close second in popularity but harder to unlock, which keeps his actual play rate lower than his desired play rate.

Who is the best survivor in Forsaken for beginners?

Elliot. He is the default survivor on purpose. His kit is balanced rather than specialized, so picking him forces you to actually learn the survivor fundamentals instead of leaning on a gimmicky ability. After Elliot, Noob is the second-best beginner pick.

What is the rarest character in Forsaken?

Among the regularly unlockable roster, characters gated behind multi-step quest chains (John Doe is the headline example) are the rarest in actual lobbies because they take the longest to earn. If you count admin-only and dev-only characters, those are functionally the rarest in the game because they are not unlockable through normal play at all.

Are there admin-only characters in Forsaken?

Yes. A small pool of characters is restricted to admin and developer use and is not part of the standard unlock path. They have shown up in clips and screenshots but cannot be earned in normal matchmaking. The full breakdown of what is real versus what is community-fabricated is at /blog/forsaken-admin-dev-killers-secret-characters-guide.

How do you unlock new characters in Forsaken?

Three main paths: spend in-game coins earned from playing matches, complete badge or achievement requirements, or finish a multi-step quest chain (the John Doe folder hunt is the famous example). A handful of characters and cosmetics have also been gated to specific in-game events. The "How Forsaken Characters Are Unlocked" section above walks through each path in more detail.

Which Forsaken character has the highest HP?

Exact HP numbers shift across patches and a pillar page is the wrong place to pin them down, because anything specific written here will eventually go stale. Among killers, the brute-archetype characters (Slasher and Nosferatu) trend toward the higher end of the HP range, while stealth and disruption killers (Noli and c00lkidd) trend lower. For current-patch numbers, check the individual per-character guides linked from each section above, since those are updated against live game data.

Final Thoughts

That is the full Forsaken character roster as of 2026: six core killers, six core survivors, a legacy bucket, and a locked admin pool. Use this page as your index. Each character on the master table at the top has a dedicated per-character guide that goes deeper than this overview ever could, and the unlock and difficulty sections give you a plan for which character to chase next rather than trying to learn the whole roster in a week. The roster will keep growing across 2026, and this page gets updated whenever a new character ships.

• Six main killers in 2026: 1x1x1x1, John Doe, Nosferatu, c00lkidd, Noli, and Slasher.
• Six main survivors: Elliot, Shedletsky, Chance, Two Time, 007n7, and Noob.
• Legacy roster adds Guest 1337, Builderman, Taph, and Dusekkar.
• A small admin and dev-only pool exists but is not publicly unlockable; see the secret-character guide.
• New players should start with Elliot on survivor and Slasher on killer before specializing.
• Unlocks come from coins, badges, quest chains, or events; John Doe's folder quest is the headline example.
• Upcoming-character info is leak-only and should be treated as unconfirmed until shipped.
