Forsaken Killers

The Full 2026 Roster — Abilities, Counters & Guides

Every Forsaken killer in the verified 2026 roster, from the core cast we cover in depth to the newest additions still settling into the meta.

Forsaken's killers are drawn from two decades of Roblox history — hackers, myths, and legends reimagined as the hunters of an asymmetrical horror game. One killer faces four survivors each round, and every killer plays differently: John Doe wants the first minute for trap setup, Jason wants to be in your face immediately, Noli wants you to forget he exists until it's too late. Learning the roster from both sides — what your killer can do, and what the killer chasing you is about to do — is the fastest skill gain in the game.

This page is the killer hub: the verified roster below (checked against the Official Forsaken Wiki), what each killer's gameplan is, and links to every killer article on the site — full ability breakdowns, the stat chart, counter-picks, and unlock guides. The roster keeps growing through 2026 updates and collaboration events, and this hub updates with each patch cycle.

The killer roster, and what each kit is for

Two killers are free from the start. c00lkidd runs Walkspeed Override and Pizza Delivery, a divide-and-conquer kit aimed at limiting where survivors can go rather than closing distance faster. Slasher, carrying the pseudonym Project 13, is an ambush killer built around Raging Pace. Because these two are free, they are what most lobbies see and what most survivors have learned to read, so value comes from where you use the abilities relative to the generators rather than from surprise.

The paid roster trades points for specialisation. John Doe, at 1,000 Player Points, uses Corrupt Energy and Digital Footprint to trap and divide — a control kit that cuts survivors off from each other and from the objective they were partway through. Noli, the most expensive of the group at 1,100 Player Points, goes the other direction with Void Rush and Nova, hunting survivors down through mobility and confusion rather than area denial.

Killers play the clock, not the kill count

A round is four minutes long. Survivors shorten it by completing generator puzzle layers — three seconds a layer, twelve for a full generator, sixty if all five fall — and killers lengthen it by eliminating survivors. That framing matters more than any individual matchup, because it means a long, technically impressive chase that ends in an elimination can still lose you the round if the other three banked layers while it was happening.

The most efficient killer action is usually interruption rather than pursuit. Generator minigames regenerate when interrupted, and a generator is four layers deep, so breaking up somebody two layers in does not pause their progress — it deletes it. No amount of chasing removes survivor progress the way a well-timed interruption does.

Stamina sets the geometry of a chase. Killers only begin losing sprint stamina once they are within roughly 85 studs of a survivor, and after a sprint ends stamina regenerates at 21 per second for current killers against 20 for survivors. Approaches made from outside that band are effectively free, which is why patient repositioning beats constant sprinting.

One map removes the objective entirely: SFOTH, reachable only through the private-server command panel, has no generators and no objectives, so there is nothing to interrupt and nothing to camp. Control kits lose most of their value there and mobility kits gain it. And at one survivor remaining, Last Man Standing drops the timer to 1 minute 14 seconds and highlights both players to each other for six seconds — a straight race, with no reads left to make.

What survivors bring against you

Knowing the survivor classes changes how you prioritise targets. Sentinels are the ones who punish a careless approach: Shedletsky's Slash stuns outright, Two Time's Sacrificial Dagger stuns on a backstab and returns health, Guest 1337's Charge knocks you back and grants Resistance V for 0.75 seconds on collision, and Chance's Coin Flip can interrupt you outright. Survivalists — Noob and 007n7 — are built to escape rather than to fight, so they cost you time instead of health. Elliot, the only Support, is the target whose removal degrades the whole team, because Pizza Throw and Rush Hour are what keep others on objectives.

Items in the round

Only two kinds of item exist in public rounds — the Medkit (80 HP over a 7-second use) and the Bloxy Cola (Speed II for 10 seconds) — spawning at marked spots chosen at random. The Flashlight, Bloxiade, Epicsauce, Green Key, the weapons and the two fake consumables are private-server command-panel items only. Scarcity works in the killer's favour: a healing survivor is slowed for seven seconds, and that is the moment to spend your best ability.

Unlocking killers, and what it costs

c00lkidd and Slasher are free, so the killer role can be learned properly before spending anything. John Doe costs 1,000 Player Points and Noli 1,100. Player Points are earned in public matchmaking only — a generator puzzle layer pays 5 Player Points and 15 EXP — and private servers award none at all, so they are for rehearsing ability timings rather than for grinding toward a purchase. EXP is separate and per character, unlocking a milestone Skin at level 25 and capping at level 100.

Because there are no perks or loadouts on either side, a killer's ceiling is set by positioning and timing rather than by what they have unlocked. A free c00lkidd played well beats a Noli played impatiently, which is worth remembering before spending 1,100 points on a kit you have not tried.

How to Pick Your First Killer Main

Don't pick by tier list — pick by how you like to win. If you want simple, forgiving pressure while you learn maps and survivor habits, start with Jason: high health and straightforward chases mean your mistakes cost less. If you enjoy planning more than chasing, John Doe's trap game turns the first minute of setup into free downs later. If you want the killer that competitive players respect most, put your hours into 1x1x1x1 — his info tools and Mass Infection pressure have the highest ceiling in the core cast.

Whatever you pick, commit for twenty matches before judging. Killer performance in Forsaken is knowledge-weighted: the same killer feels weak at match five and oppressive at match twenty-five because you've learned when to commit to chases and when to break off and defend objectives. The killer macro guide covers that decision layer, and the tier list tracks where each killer lands after every patch.
