Forsaken KillersThe Full 2026 Roster — Abilities, Counters & Guides

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.

Two maps remove the objective entirely: SFOTH and Generator Hell have no generators, 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 items spawn in a public round, from a pool including the Medkit, Bloxy Cola, Flashlight, Bloxiade, Epicsauce and the Green Key, plus weapons such as the Glock, Broadsword, Assault Rifle and Gravity Gun. There are also the Fake Medkit and Fake Bloxy Cola, which behave differently from the real versions. Scarcity works in the killer's favour: survivors cannot plan around having a counter-tool, because most rounds they will not have one.

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.
