All the Counselors in Friday the 13th: The Game have different stats that make them ideal in different situations. While one Counselor might be faster at running away, another might have better repair skills.
Before you choose to dive into a match, look through the different Counselors and select one that you believe matches what your team needs. If no one has chosen a Counselor with a good Repair stat, you might want to consider picking someone like Deborah in the event you choose to escape via a car.
Keep in mind; it can be useful to have a Counselor with a high Strength stat if you want to attempt to kill Jason!
All Counselor Stats
Each Counselor has seven different stats, each of which receives a rating out of 10. The higher the rating, the better the stat. These stats can be split into Strengths and Weaknesses, with each Counselors different Strengths than others.
These stats are:
- Composure – Whether they get scared easily when Jason is around
- Luck – Helps with all manner of survival
- Repair – Dictates the ease at which the repair mini game can be won
- Speed – This governs how fast the Counselor can move
- Stamina – How long before they get tired and need to walk
- Stealth – How silent they are when moving
- Strength – Increases the amount of damage a Counselor weapon deals
