All Slayers in Dead Island 2: Every Skill Card & attributes

In Dead Island 2, players can choose from a variety of Slayers, each designed to offer a unique start to their journey. This brief overview introduces every initial character, detailing their unique abilities and key attributes.

Unlike traditional games that feature generic heroes, Dead Island 2 boasts six distinct Slayers. Each comes with their own set of skills, stats, and a personality that sets them apart in the game’s narrative.

This is quite important when it comes to maiming Zombies and slicing their heads clean off. Some are better when it comes to revitalizing their health, whereas some can inflict greater base damage in the game.

If you want a quick rundown of each Slayer in Dead Island 2 including their innate abilities, skills, and stats, we’ve got you covered.
