‘Evil Dead: The Game’ Survivor Character Guide

This brief guide will help break down the 13 Survivors and ultimately help players determine which Evil Dead Survivor character is best suited for them.

Evil Dead: The Game is an asymmetric multiplayer inspired by the three original Evil Dead films and the STARZ original series. Players are able to choose between being a Survivor to fight against the Deadites or a Demon to hunt down the Survivors.

From melee-based Warriors and healing Support to ranged Hunters and buffing Leaders, here are the skills and stats for each Survivor.
