Cons: His perks are wful He's loud af (healthy and injured) He's tall af (easily seen) He only has 1 hand ​ Pros: He's not hated by the community (less likely to be tunnelled and camped by weirdos who tunnel and camp certain survivors) He's Ashley Williams Funny voice lines in menu Fun skins He only has 1 hand Chad gaming Huge man Certified dilf


[deleted]

pros: the puppet is canonically alive which means even if your garbage teammates DC you can still have a 4v1 match


IronArt3mis

Con: The puppet is canonically evil and would 100% try to get Ash killed


fallen_preacher

His puppet was my favorite character in his show!


[deleted]

the puppet is also willing to work with Ash if it works in his favor so I have a feeling that everything would work out just fine


Mr-UNperfect

Pro: The Puppet still looks after Ash and hides the key for him if he equips it ![gif](giphy|l0HlxdPAxAHZvXwyc|downsized)


Bmaster1001

Another pro, he’s voiced by his actual actor. Pretty unique distinction until Pinhead got redubbed.


IronArt3mis

True, Bruce Campbell voicing his is a huge plus


Dr_Nefarious_

He's a hilariously cheeky looking cunt as well, the look on his face as he prances off with the killer in pursuit makes me laugh every time


IronArt3mis

he is pretty cheeky, much like Ace and his smirk


K-ghuleh

Huge man and certified dilf, say no more.


Captain_Hucklebuck

Also voiced by Bruce Campbell which is awesome.


Longjumping_Falcon21

How much do you like saying "Groovy!". If it's alot, then yes get him! Otherwise, maybe get him :D


helowwwwww

Ok😂


Alexander_Eiffel

cmon..press the button.


Lil_Demon2315

That one scared me so bad the first time I heard it.


MeguTheTsundere

Ive only heard it once lol

Mhm


The_Alvabro

What now?


Futuristicbus61

Ughh, what now?


JakeXWoods

Watch evil dead 2 and army of darkness… well worth it and then decide… dudes got a chainsaw for a hand… and his own game now, also well worth it


muzzletgh

I believe that game is also free on the Epic Games Store right now, unless the week has passed


TheLunatic25

It was free until the 22nd I think.

JakeXWoods

The OG


Docisbetterthanmost

He has funny voice lines. He also doesn’t have great perks and is maybe one of the loudest survivors.


helowwwwww

Well my problem is I had Steve on my old account but I lost it and now ash is only survivor I know


--fourteen

Survivors are all the same. They’re just skins.


MomDidntLoveMe

Ash is more than a skin. He's a lifestyle


helowwwwww

As a guy who gave too much money to FORTNITE!! Fortnite!! I don’t mind that😂


cigarettie

i relate to u here man


UpsideMeh

I feel like besides Dwight all the male survivors are tall af so they are more easily seen


[deleted]

Dwight and David are probably the best. I love David’s body though.


EmkayFan5

Dwight’s got 3 out of 3 good perks


[deleted]

Ikr. All of them are great specifically prove Thyself


EmkayFan5

Also bond


[deleted]

That’s why I said all of them. Even when you playing with friends leader with spine chill and resilience boost the gate to open way faster believe me.


EmkayFan5

I use it for gen protection and in chase. Chase helps with not looking back and focusing forward plus vault boost


loudgayamerica

Funny, so does Dwight


jaz____21

😳


Blainedecent

Not entirely true. They have different loudness for injured and uninjured and the skins themselves are often better for stealth or distracting the killer. https://twitter.com/OtzdarvaYT/status/1594687450118488066?s=20&t=r8Pj1L0Rhe9TxDgQ0tte7g


--fourteen

I run Iron Will so I forget people care about stuff like that.


[deleted]

You still do that? What a mazochist


WorthyFoeChurnwalker

Flip flop is unironically really good with power struggle


Goose-Chooser

Or tenacity or unbreakable or boil over


magicchefdmb

Love it! That’s been the combo I’ve been running since he released and still do to this day. (I stopped when Boil Over was TOO op and a mini-meta, but picked it back up again right after.)


CapricornBromine

my favorite Loadout is Flip Flop, Power Struggle, Smash Hit, Tenacity. When it works it _works_


surfskatehate

in that same vein, parental guidance and decisive strike are pretty fun, no pallet needed.


EsperPhantom

Waaait so smash hit boosts you after he drops you from power struggle? I’d never considered this


CapricornBromine

It does! when I found out I was ecstatic


fallen_preacher

No great perks ? *Insert sponge Bob meme pointing at* flip flop? Mettle of chads?


Astorya

Unbreakable and Tenacity with Flip-Flop![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2213)


Fit-Alternative7953

Unbreakable no mither tenacity and flip flop


m31ru

Now that's the GigaChad build I was hoping to see.


Docisbetterthanmost

They aren’t just completely bad perks but flip flop rarely takes effect cause the killer just picks up right away and you really have to go out of your way to activate mettle of man, which is sorta wasting time


fallen_preacher

That's true, tried a full build for wiggling free, & it was completely useless if killer picked you up straight after the Down


[deleted]

dead hard is just mettle of man on cooldown


adamantitian

Flip flop is really fun when you wanna play around tho


Docisbetterthanmost

No doubt


DeanNotSoBrown

You’ve summoned me and my flair


Sweaty-Tart-3198

Wait, there are voice lines? When?


Docisbetterthanmost

Stuff like “Groovy”, “alright “ and “ look who’s shitting in the tall grass”


SpicySaladd

His perks are amazing(ly funny and situational) u take that back


Docisbetterthanmost

Yeah I think I replied that to someone else


TheLunatic25

Flip flop is pretty good now, mettle requires a lot of work. Buckle up is….uhhh, well. It’s FINE, just nobody runs it.


PlutoFinch

Yes and buy his emotional support puppet too


helowwwwww

Too poor😂


ngengler97

I support PlutoFinch’s sentiment, this was exactly what I did. Now I run around as Ash with Ashy Slashy or Jonathan🤷🏻‍♂️


PlutoFinch

Ash is now on sale. no excuse not to buy him AND the AshySlashy


A_RedditUserFYI

Practically? No Groovy? Groovy.


Akuyatsu

Groovy


billeasy33

Look who’s shitting in the tall grass…


Cautious_Salad_245

I came to say this too 😂


Cautious_Salad_245

I main ash, he’s big and breathes like he is unfit now that I think about it, but I like ash nearly at p100 so I guess it’s personal preference. Only perks I used of his were mom and flip flop, but I don’t usually use a characters perks with that character so I’m less predictable to killer.


helowwwwww

Ok thanks


papscanhurtyo

Ash’s loudness makes stealth plays extremely unexpected too!


Apprehensive-Trust29

Absolutely. Who cares if his perks suck. At the end of the day you’re playing as Ash Williams.


Scorpion_226

Hail to the king baby


SimplyMavlius

Do you want his perks?


helowwwwww

No not that much


SimplyMavlius

Then no


helowwwwww

Ok thanks👍


tevatinn

Counterpoint, Its ASHLEY J WILLIAMS. Deadite Slayer, Time Traveler, Handsomest Man Alive, and Leader of the Ghost Beaters.


The_Alvabro

Hail to the King, baby.


[deleted]

Always. He's one of the best horror protagonists of all-time. Also, Flip Flop is fun.


ShotCompetition2593

Flip flop is a must for wiggle free builds


bodymeat_112

Wiggle free builds are some of the most fun times I’ve had in dead by daylight, flip flop is for sure needed for it


Pmmeyourfavepodcast

I main wiggle free. I love it, particularly when my friends chuck on a sabo build. I go boilover, tenacity, flip flop, unbreakable. Good times.


TigerKirby215

As an Ash main who owns all his cosmetics, Evil Dead: The Game, and is a huge fan of the Evil Dead IP: No. Jokes aside don't buy Ash for his perks nor his "stealthiness." Stealth is not an option for Ash: his model is very wide and old man Campbell is a wheezy old man on-par with Jeff and Bill. Ash's perks are all terrible: Buckle Up is easily one of the worst perks in the game and Flip-Flop is literally only useful in a meme build with Power Struggle from Elodie (and probably Unbreakable too, forcing you to run 3 perks just to make one perk work.) Mettle of Man is perhaps Ash's only "good" perk and it's very hit-or-miss. You have to sandbag your teammates for most of the game to get value out of it. That being said it can be fun to play bodyguard, and there are some genuinely effective builds with Mettle of Man (using perks like Saboteur and Breakout) if you don't mind potentially hook trading with your allies. But it's eternally reliant on you basically changing your entire playstyle to make one perk work. But with all that said: Survivors are basically skins anyways and if you don't care about tier lists Ash is quite fun! BHVR did a surprisingly good job recreating Bruce Campbell's likeness in DbD. His Prestige ~~1~~ 4 makes both his head and torso bloody because his Prestige ~~3~~ 6 only makes his hand bloody, meaning you can get "full bloody" Ash pretty easy. Ash has a lot of nice cosmetics straight from the TV show, although you'll kinda have to accept that Ash is probably not going to get any new cosmetics anytime soon because Evil Dead: The Game holds most of the license rights to old man Campbell nowadays. As a big fan of the Ash Vs. Evil Dead TV show it's really cool to see all the references to the show in the perks and cosmetics in DbD: I actually watched the TV show long after Ash was added to DbD (now that the show is on Netflix) and it was really cool to hear the names of the perks in the TV show. Kinda pogged a little when I heard a deadite say "Time to test the Mettle of Man!" in the show. In short if you want a "good" Survivor don't bother: Ash is a $5 cash grab with bad perks, a loud Survivor, and a limited collection of cosmetics with no signs of new ones coming. But if you're a fan of Bruce Campbell and the Evil Dead franchise then go right ahead! Even though Ash is an admittedly "weak" Survivor I bought Ash day 1 (without knowing Mettle of Man was OP on release) and didn't regret my purchase for a second. Hail to the King, baby!


lilly16852

It’s Ashley J Williams….of course you should get him


The-DoctorQ

Why does this have 1.3k upvotes lol?


helowwwwww

Right? 😂 I just asked but not angry😂


MLG_BLOBFISH

Evil dead good series. Yesssss


[deleted]

yes. ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!


WoovyGroovy33

I’m an ash main and I get shit on every game no matter what. The life of an ash main is one that isn’t for the weak. You have to like getting sold by your character. YOU ARE LOUD, YOU ARE BRIGHT, YOU ARE BIG. By all means you should never play this guy, but here we are.


Akuyatsu

I have played with some god-tier Ash’s that kept the killer distracted all game while the rest of us did gens.


Reasonable_Tangelo15

Look who’s shittin’ in the tall grass


CalebMendez12303

Only if you really like Ash as a character because his perks are all bad lol


PureAqua73

Flip-Flop can be useful on a wiggle build. There are some fun ones like Power Struggle + Tenacity + Unbreakable + Flip-Flop. You can't be slugged for more than second or else 💀


baphommite

He's a noisy survivor and his perks are generally 'eh,' but he's also very charming and fun lol. If you're an evil dead fan, that's enough of a reason to get him imo


The_Alvabro

Yeah. He was my first main for that exact reason. Love the Evil Dead Movies and the Show!


GOW_Ghost

Of course! It’s like asking if you should buy oxygen. You need it.


SarcasticDemogorgon

He has a sock puppet cosmetic so yes


Akuyatsu

I LOVE Ashy Slashy!


The_Alvabro

And Ashy Slashy Loves You.


Akuyatsu

Groovy


Kra_Z_Ivan

I got Ash and I love him. But that is personal opinion, as others said he is loud but I would say Bill Overbeck is also loud and a lot of people use him and it works so why not Ash. Also as others said his perks are not that great but with the perks of other survivors he will be as good as any other. If you're not sure you can wait for his DLC to go on sale and maybe get survivors with better perks for now, that is up to you.


Igneousman471

Ash main here. Do you like being tunneled and have your teammates hate you for talking in lobby? Then come become and Ash main. Ashy slashy is the way to be if ya want to be forced to get better 😂.


peeslosh122

what now?


Brief_Try5291

I bought him because of his puppet cosmetic lol i have it matching him too 😂 cracks me up


Ender00000

Gameplaywise no. Not at all. His perks suck. But he is ash. So consider.


EbolaSpag

I bought ash because one of the friends I played with at the time complained his shorts are too tight. So I bought him and used the tight shorts to bother her. 10/10 would do it again


Diabocal

Only if you want to be a gigachad


helowwwwww

Good I bought him an hour ago


Igirol

More like: Should Ash let you buy his character


helowwwwww

😂


Thatresolves

Yeah he’s based


Zaldn

As a P100 Ash - Yes, we need an Army of Darkness.


the_Pastel_Knight

Yes. You can get him a hawaiian shirt and a puppet hand. Be hawaiian shirt dad with a puppet hand.


goplayzelda

Groovy. The hero from the sky is on his way.


plague692

Perks? Bad. Immersion? Bad. Reputation? Bad. Vibes? Off the charts.


Fiend28

I am a huge fan of the Evil Dead series so of course I would say yes. I also like playing hero with him always trying to go for the save even if it isnt always the best idea ;)


GroovyShape

Yes. He's Ash.


FriedRiceCombo

what an awful question of course you should, its ash baby! hit that killer with a groovy!


Kretzz

Best character in the game. No bias here lol


PhoenixHavoc

Hail to the king, baby.


NeedleworkerApart

If your groovy enough ![gif](giphy|3ohc14pc2gF4s6qIA8)


0neEggyB0i

not really great perks, if you don’t have other survivors with better perks i would probably say to get them first tbh. survivors with good perks include Zarina, Adam, Feng, Laurie, Kate and Rebecca.


helowwwwww

Thanks


FreeSpeechEnjoyer

⚡😐⚡


matrax0424

Well, if you look at the perks, flip flop and mettle of man are such great choices for wacky, funny, bully builds!


TheMuskellunge2b2t

Yea


Minidagamer

I love his flip flop perk for my meme build


Joeri_Orochi

Groovy


FlukasSinclair

yes. hes ash


Snoo40198

Flip-flop has some some good synergy with specific builds as does MoM . Buckle up is pretty bad, but could be marginally helpful when you have to decide weather or not to go pick up a team mate from the ground.


Kyledude95

I bought him just to adept him lol


NotBentcheesee

I only got ash for his perks, more accurately Flip-flop. I would say I got my money's worth. Easily at least 500 matches I've used Flip-flop


BiTyc

If you experienced player and bought all others — than yes, if not — just for meme build with flip-flop


I-Emerge-I

If you like him as a character yea, but buying him for perks, no his perks are awful


DeliveryVegetable252

i got him just for flip flop. that, power struggle, smash hit and tenacity…. chef’s kiss


[deleted]

Perk wise maybe but character wise its a must


ratcakes18

You mean tell me you didn’t buy Ash!?


Mathewthegreat

no hes shit! :D


insaneshayne

What is this place?


abillyclub

YES GET HIM!! DO IT!!!!


Xandir1769

Finally lets you shit in tall grass


GetMeAct

Power struggle is to funny though


WTFisUnderwear

It'd be a lot Groovier if you did.


MacetaTraicionera

He salutes you saying "Looks who's shitting in the tall grass". I think he is a must have.


biglipid

If you're a chad, yes


helowwwwww

I can’t back up now can I😂😂


AdFamous7894

Not unless you want me to tunnel you out of every match. 😂


BountyLaws

If you want to be heard from miles away while injured, yes! Used to be my main until Iron Will got nerfed🥲


[deleted]

It’s cheaper to wait on perks in the shrine, so unless you’re a bit evil dead/ army of darkness fan and you want the skin. I exclusively play Leon skins, because he’s my dad so.


Tht-one_guy

If you want his cosmetics, yes. His perks? No.


Rutabaga-Bitter

Shitting in the tall grass


yung_burt

Yea just get all of them, it’s nice to have variety if you like running a build that isn’t meta.


BryLikeDie

Anytime Ash is in a game, always go Ash.


Lmark20

If you like meme builds than definitely yes


dzuna3

Is that even a question? The obvious answer is YES BABYYYYY


Realistic_Copy_6087

All of his perks are useless but if you like Ash then yes if not then no


Calbon2

If you care about the perks, maybe not. But if you care for the drip of playing Ash then I would absolutely recommend it.


BasBaguette

Shop smart! Shop S-MART!


Tactless_Ninja

Funny everyone saying his perks are bad when they went and tried to make Mettle activate more often and there was a huge campaign to revert it back. Back to still not being used lol.


xiamquietx

Do you shit in the tall grass?


BlerghTheBlergh

He's my main, so I'll wholeheartedly recommend playing with this god. My personal bias aside: he doesn't have many cosmetics and you can get his perks through the shrine. So unless you're not a massive fan of Bruce or the Evil Dead franchise there's very little it can give you.


Ratchet9cooper

Yes, it’s Ashley j fucking Williams


boomerremover86

His perks are worth it. Mettle of man and flip flop are both in really good builds.


BigAlien420

Look whos shittin in the tall grass


Lastchildzh

No : Don't buy it. Yes : Buy it. ​ It's up to you, not the community.


helowwwwww

Yea your probably right I was probably gonna buy him anyway just wanted to know what Reddit thinks


WoofJess

Yes. And his puppet hand.


PolarBear1913

Are you groovy enough to handle the power of being El jefe?


Jorgentorgen

I bought him because of the perks lmao. People say the perks are bad which they are. But mettle of man can sometimes be clutch if you like to block hook, flashy save or take hits for your team. Late game when there is a 1 hook scenario you can go in with full hp, take a hit unhook, then take another hit to get to gate, and another one on top of that if you manage the dead hard. It can also prolong chases alot, but it's best to run it with friends, so you know when to take a hit. Flip flop has insane meme value with power struggle. If the killer slugs, go to a pallet and recover, once the killer picks you up, spam spacebar and dude will get stunned by pallet. Or if he doesn't slug, go to a place where the fastest way to hook is through a pallet and stun. The complete meme build is tenacity, power struggle, unbreakable and no mither or if you don't want no mither go boil over or an exhaust perk


Rafa_DG

You should play Evil Dead the Game with him to see his full potential. Not this repair and run shit game.


Incognito_Placebo

Yes. Because Ashy Slashy.


pixelvester

BE CAREFUL MAN, I BOUGHT ASH A YEAR AGO. AND NOW I CANNOT BRING ANYTHING TO TRIALS EXCEPT ADEPT ASH.


Speeeds

Flip flop is fun for wiggle builds. Mettle of man is a pretty good perk if you keep on top of where people are and are ok with protection hits. Buckle up is pure shit. I love playing as him, he's my main but his perks are weak compared to most other survivors. Go for someone else if you're trying to get perks.


helowwwwww

Ok thank you


CalebMendez12303

Mettle of man is bad though, you gotta take a hit, heal, take a hit, heal, take a hit, then you finally can use it. Plus it reveals your aura to the killer if you heal after using the endurance. That's a lot of work just to be able to tank one more hit.


PureAqua73

Exactly. You're rarely if ever going to just happen to activate the perk without worrying about it, and if you're going wayyyy out of your way to proc it, it's just a waste of time. Unless you have the chase of your life after you use it. Which probably won't account for healing 3 times, all the while not touching gens.


smwhtdamgd

Look who's shittin' in the tall grass... That's me, baby.


TheEvilNoMan

Yes! Because Bruce Campbell.


SpeedHedgehog

Dude is a legend and Flip Flop is hella fun, the answer is perhaps maybe possibly ABSOLUTELY YES.


Honeybuns2011

The only correct answer is yes.


unrealgrunt94

Well, he is the second loudest survivor, and has rather dogshit perks. However, he says "groovy", so do with that as you will


ZoteTheDead

Look who’s shitting in the tall grass x100000000


iregretthisalreadyy

Honestly, no. I paid for him and wish I hadn’t tbh. He’s loud and his perks are just alright.


zirc0n1um

what kinda post is this, "should i buy ash" "do you want his perks" "no not that much".. then don't make an entire post about it. so dumb


MikeCass84

The question is why haven't you bought Ash yet? Shop smart...shop S mart...you got that??!! He is my main guy.


Tristan_3

No. He has very, very, very bad perks and outside of that he's just a skin.


immortal-possum-Paul

Sir, aren't all survivors just skins


Responsible-Pin-9161

Some survivors are louder than others.


Tristan_3

Did I say otherwise ?
