Dead Island 2 Slayers Guide – Which Character Should You Use?

wccftech.com:

Dead Island 2 features six different characters, named Slayers, to choose from. After a brief introduction at the beginning of the game, you will be asked to select one of them who will accompany you throughout your adventure. Each has unique skills and statistics, so pick carefully! You won’t be able to change them during the story, and you will have to stick to your selection until the end.

You can always start a new run with a different Slayer, as the game gives you six different save slots, one for each character. If you are still deciding which one to pick first, check our guide for more details on them.

Dani has the lowest Health Recovery rate among the six Slayers, meaning you’ll need to wait a bit more to see your HP bar increase again after you get hit by zombies. However, her Bloodlust Innate Skill somehow compensates for this because Dani will regain health if you slay multiple enemies quickly with her. She also has a good level of Peak Health, which determines your maximum health, and her stamina levels are pretty high. In other words, you can land quite a few heavy attacks and special moves with her before needing to rest.

Jacob is the most balanced Slayer and a perfect pick for players looking for a straightforward path. He has excellent Peak Health levels, meaning his maximum health is pretty high, and he also has good Stamina attributes. On the other hand, his Resilience is the lowest among all the characters, so he’s more vulnerable to particular types of damage and status effects. Thanks to his Critical Gains Innate Skill, Jacob’s Critical Hits get a moderate Critical Damage boost when his Stamina levels are low, and he also regains some Stamina.
