First Find Out What Hillby’s Skill Is
Hillby is a high-mobility killer who can knock Survivors down without injuring them in Dead by Daylight. Since Hillby can reach even the longest distances in the shortest time by dashing, it will be very difficult for you to escape from him. When Hillby uses his Chainsaw, he moves twice as fast and if he can hit Survivors, he will directly put them into the dying state. As scary as it sounds, Hillby’s skill isn’t all that hard to dodge. You just have to be on the alert and know when Hillby is sprinting.

How to Counter Hillby Easily?
Hillby has come under fire because he is not a very useful killer. Dodging Hillby’s skill is all you need to do to counter him. Run around obstacles to dodge him because Hillby can’t control his sprint and only moves forward. If you’re sure Hillby will sprint at you, you can use windows, pallets or rocks for defense. That’s why walking around in an open area while Hillby is after you would be the most irrational thing to do. There should always be obstacles around that you can cover yourself with if you want to counter Hillby in DbD.
To counter Hillby, good looping is also very important in Dead by Daylight. If you have the Obsession on you and Hillby can’t knock you down using his Chainsaw, he will turn into a basic M1 killer after a while. This way you both stall out chases longer and save your team a lot of time. If you pay attention, Hillby is very easy to dodge and counter in DbD.
If you are unable to dodge his Chainsaw and there is a locker nearby, you will momentarily avoid it by hiding inside. We also recommend that you don’t use pallets unnecessarily, as Hillby can break pallets quickly when using his Chainsaw. Have the killer chase you by looping as much as possible and your team will benefit greatly.
Dead by Daylight is available on PC, PS5 and PS4, Xbox One and Series, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android.
