Scream Jam Characters

Killers

Killers hunt survivors across Bomb Survival, Baseplate V2, and TVA. Frapers and Fencer lead most tier lists after the June 2026 buff that lets Frapers shoot projectiles vertically. KillerKyle remains the beginner-friendly ranged pick despite struggling against stacked Clockwork teams. ClawsGuy and Stalker round out the roster with melee pressure and stealth ambush kits.

• KillerKyle — Projectile detonation killer with G0z quest skin and Shade badge skin
• ClawsGuy — Melee swipe killer with Die of Death skins The Clown, Drakobloxxer, Froster, Cake Monster
• Fencer — Parry and lunge killer with Smiler, MrHatred, and Chefcer cosmetics
• Frapers — Meta mobility killer with TheKid skin and vertical shot buff
• Stalker — Stealth ambush killer with Nol1 Die of Death skin

Survivors

Survivors complete map objectives, earn TIX, and escape before the killer eliminates the team. Pancho ships free for every account and teaches core mechanics. Clockwork dominates support queues after the June 2026 launch—teapot buffs can reach entire teams from a single explosion. Bloxxer and MrRobot add utility cooldowns for players who prefer active ability play over pure support.

• Pancho — Default free survivor, best beginner pick with simple kit
• Bloxxer — Utility survivor with defensive cooldowns for objective lanes
• MrRobot — Tech-themed survivor with gadget abilities and peel potential
• Clockwork — S-tier support sentinel with teapot speed and invincibility buffs

Current Meta Snapshot

July 2026 rankings favor Frapers and Fencer on the killer side, with Stalker climbing in experienced hands. Survivor queues stack Clockwork for team-wide buffs, though developers have acknowledged upcoming nerfs. Check our tier list for patch-by-patch ranking changes and use the tier comparator tool for side-by-side stat breakdowns.

The June 2026 update added over a dozen killer skins across every hunter. Quest exclusives G0z and badge Shade for KillerKyle remain the hardest unlocks—see our killer skins guide and June 2026 update page for full cosmetic details.

Unlock Costs and Grinding

Pancho costs nothing. Premium survivors like Clockwork require TIX from the shop—grind during X2 TIX events for the fastest unlock path. Killers unlock similarly through TIX purchases. Cosmetics are separate from character access; skins range from shop variants like Kyle5 to achievement-gated exclusives.

Use our TIX calculator to estimate matches needed for your target character, then read the dedicated killer or survivor page for ability combos and counter-play.
