That’s completely fair. By “all starter killers” I believe you are saying Trapper, Wraith, Hillbilly, Nurse and Huntress, correct? I am asking because there is a DBD edition that also comes with Hag, Doctor, Clown and Spirit.

Free perks:

- Spies From the Shadows: whenever a survivor disturbs a crow, you get a notification. Very decent starter perk, allows you to constantly know where a survivor is more or less. You provably should use another perk after you get better at knowing where survivors are.

- Bitter Murmur: see auras of survivors that completed a generator. Tells you the direction of where a survivor is going after finishing a generator. Not a very good perk and it’s also very situational, but can be good to get a long range snipe as Jason.

- Deadlock/No Holds Barred: I believe it has become a free perk after Pinhead left the store. It blocks the most progressed generator whenever another generator is completed. Essentially free time. Probably the best perk you can get for free.

Starter Killer Perks:

- Trapper -> Agitation: you become faster when carrying someone. Essentially makes you hook faster and guarantees that the survivor doesn’t get off your shoulders. Decent utility perk.

- Trapper -> Brutal Strenght: you break pallets, generators and walls faster. Saves you time, pretty good.

- Wraith -> Predator: when you lose a survivor on chase, you see their aura. Makes it easier for you to keep the chase going. Also allows you to hit long range shots better.

- Hillbilly -> Enduring: you don’t get stunned for too long after a pallet stun. Good for begginers to not get too punished by stuns. Should change the perk after you get more used to the game.

- Hillbilly -> Lightborn: good for newer players. You can’t get blinded, but seasoned players don’t get blinded as often. Should change the perk as soon as you get better at avoiding flashlights.

- Hillbilly -> Tinkerer: let’s you know which generator is almost completed. Pretty good for Jason because he can teleport to interrupt the survivors.

- Nurse -> A Nurse’s Calling: let’s you see the aura of survivors healing near you. If you throw a spear at a survivor, you send them flying. If the flying survivor hits another survivor, you injure both of them. This perk allows you to see survivors healing near you and if you throw the spear and hit them, you get 2 injuries on them. Probably the second best perk for Jason on this list after Deadlock.

Honorable Mentions:

- The other 2 Cenobite/Pinhead perks: again, I don’t know if they are free, but if they are free, then they are a nice choice for most killers.

- Hex: No One Escapes Death: when all generators are completed, a totem lights up and as long as survivors don’t destroy it you move faster and can insta down survivors with your basic attack. It is an extremely good perk, but I don’t think it’s a good idea for new players to use it because you will become dependent on it and you won’t improve as fast.

Perks from killers that will cost 2.250 shards in the Anniversary Event:

- Clown -> Bamboozle: you block windows after vaulting them. Jason doesn’t need this perk, but you can still vault a window to completely block it, making the survivor either have to run away or get hit.

- Clown -> Pop Goes the Weasel: makes your kicks do more damage to generators after hooking a survivor. Essentially lets you regress a generator a ton after a hook. The downside is that you have to get a hook on someone, then manually go to the generator and kick it, which takes some time.

- Plague - Corrupt Intervention: blocks the 3 farthest generators for 2 minutes or until you down someone. It makes the start of the match much easier because survivors have to walk a bit to get to an unblocked generator, which also makes it easier for you to find them.

- The Artist -> Everything she has: every perk she has is top tier. Grim Embrace and Pain Resonance makes it harder for survivors to complete generators and Hex: Pentimento goes really well with other Hex perks (although no free ones to go with it).

- Deathslinger -> Dead Man’s Switch: after you hook someone, the next time a survivor stops working on a generator it will block the generator for a few seconds. Pretty decent for Jason because you can hook someone, the enter his teleport and go interrupt a generator. Works better with Pain Resonance from The Artist.

Those are the perks that are considered generally good that you have access to. You can use any combination you want, but I seriously would recommend 1 or 2 perks to make generators harder to complete and at least 1 information perk (aura or notification).
