My opinion on the Spirit!

Yes, the newly awaited chapter: Shattered Bloodline has finally released today and boy, am I happy with the content. The new survivor is pretty awesome, interesting look with interesting abilities and the killer... oh she's just lovely. While her perks aren't particularly fantastic. Some are good, some are not so good. I am enjoying her right now, as her look and abilities are fun to use in my opinion.

I see alot of people on here, complaining about The Spirit and how she's awful or terrible. Honestly, that's not the case. If you play her correctly, play to her strengths and use a helpful set of perks - she is actually very decent to play. I've played afew hours so far, mid-rank and dominated all my matches.

No, i'm not here to brag about that or anything lol. I'm merely saying, experiment and change your perks and addons and see what works and doesn't work. Don't rely too much on her ability for chases and use it only when needed, use your head in regards to strategy and PAY ATTENTION to your surroundings and you'll have no problem! So far I think she's amazing fun, and I'm glad I pitched toward buying and content and supporting the game for more content like this. More interesting and fun killers, with interesting and fun survivor perks to play with.

So, give it a chance! And have fun with it! Don't play one game, get rekt and then immediately run to the forums and 'complain' about getting smashed by survivors because she's new and you're still learning her strengths and weaknesses. It's just a game afterall! There's afew tweaks, that I feel need changed - such as her power activation time. But those are fixed with addons, and thus, I can't truly complain. Her skin is amazing also, I feel it really brings out her character that much more.

Her sounds are okay, though honestly I feel she should sound more ghastly/banshee/spectral. But these are small, little things. In the end however, this is just my honest opinion regarding Dead by Daylight's newest chapter and i look forward to seeing new content!

Thanks!

    I've also enjoyed the spirit. She's very fun but she only needs a few tweaks/ quality of life buffs, nothing major in my opinion just some things to make using her less frustrating. Only things I can propose as of now is to either reduce the time for the cool-down or allow her to use her power even when it's not completely charged up. Stridor definitely feels good on her because if you get a early hit off to start the chase you can still effectively track them even if they crouch away. So I think she has some great perks, great design, and a great concept that needs just a little tweaking. She is fun though.

    I really like her, and I definitely think people are wrong to say she's weak. She's mid tier but needs some tweaks. I'd suggest allowing her to use her power even it's not fully recharged and reducing the cooldown of her power. I think she would be very good if she had those changes and it would justify her being 110% movespeed. I personally don't think she should be 115% MS, but if they're keeping her power how it is, I'd rather see 115% MS over nothing, because her power doesn't help enough in the chase to justify her being slower. (The only killers that are lower than base 115% all have good reasons for having that, Hag can place traps and teleport to them, Nurse can blink, Huntress has hatchets and technically Doctor and Myers do but it's more related directly to their power than it is because of their power) But we'll see how she goes.

    That's true, every other killer with 110 can at least do something at vault points, she cannot so she should have the 115 speed for those windows and pallet moments but she is  ok, can't tell but it seems like I'm getting kills moreso because she is new.
