All Survivors and Demons in Evil Dead: The Game

Evil Dead: The Game has only been out for one week, but it’s already dominated the landscape of online survivor games for its unique and wide variety of playstyles.

With so many Survivors and Demons to choose from, this list is here to help make that decision a bit easier.

Who are the Survivors in Evil Dead: The Game?

Evil Dead: The Game features four different classes of playable Survivors that serve different functions toward the end goal of banishing the Kandarian Demon. 

Leader

The Leader’s role is to make sure everyone on the team is alive. They are responsible for coordinating strategies so the team can take down the Kandarian Demon. 

To do this, they are able to grant allies buffs, such as reduced damage and fear for their team, as well as increasing damage dealt.

These are the following characters in the Leader class and their abilities

Ash Williams (Ash vs Evil Dead)

• Show Up & Blow Up – This is an active skill that lets Ash create an explosion, and damages enemies’ balance bars.
• El Jefe – An area of effect ability that increases the fear resistance & damage output of any Survivor nearby.

Support

Survivors in the Support class use their abilities to keep the team alive, similar to the Leader. But Supports center their items and abilities around restoring teammates’ health and shields that can help reduce fear for survivors when necessary.

Here are the three characters in the Support class.

Ash Williams (Evil Dead)
