Who is the best Dead Island 2 slayer?

After playing through the game using all six characters, it's very tricky to determine the very best slayer to use. Ultimately, we've gone with Jacob thanks to his high peak health levels which often make the difference when taking damage from multiple zombies simultaneously.

At the end of the day, it comes down to your style of play. Amy's high levels of agility prove useful when ducking and diving out of harm's way but in terms of outright versatility, Jacob is our preferred slayer of choice.
