Yeah take into account also maps, perks, and add-ons. Since they can make the difference in many situations.

    Since the nurse nerf I think they're pretty much 50/50 for the top spot.

    Nurse

    Spirit is the most overpowered due to her ease of use, but Nurse is far and away the best.

    Spirit is annoying, but Nurse still deletes the fundamental mechanics of the game.

    Nurse

    Let’s forget about which one takes more skill and let’s look at both killers’ power level and what they can deal with in many different scenarios. Nurse ignores every defense survivors have as god windows and pallets don’t do anything against Nurse while they can hold off Spirit. Nurse just has potential to do so much more which is why I have to put her at the top. If the debate is average Spirit vs average Nurse though, I would have to take the Spirit.

    Spirit for sure, nurse requires some skill, spirit just requires headphones.

    Nurse may be more powerful than Spirit, but she isn't overpowered like Spirit is.

    An average Spirit will always surpass an average Nurse due to Spirit requiring little to no skill, but a God Nurse will always outperform a God Spirit.

    To an average player who doesnt have much time to learn a killer daily, Spirit is better, but if someone has learned Nurse, they're the best killer in the game without a doubt.

    Definitely Nurse because she can completely ignore loops.

    Spirit

    I think, if we take into account the strongest add-ons, Spirit is better.

    It's an unpopular opinion, but I think it's true, allow me to explain.


    Nurse, has the best chase in the game. No question. However, what hurts her is the jankiness of her power, the bugs and her inability to traverse the map as fast as other Killers. She is also fairly difficult to play, and certainly very difficult to play well.

    Spirit, on the other hand, has the second best chase in the game, has few bugs, her power isn't janky and is easy to use AND she can use her power for mobility, especially with her best add-ons.

    Mother-Daughter Ring and Yakuyoke Amulet push her power to the absolute limit, by boosting her speed massively and extends the duration massively.


    At a base level, Nurse is better than Spirit, but if you take add-ons into consideration, Nurse has add-ons that remedy some of her issues, but Spirit has add-ons that boost her power level significantly and I think that puts her ahead.

    Spirit's so easy to use that I would put her over Nurse. But Nurse's strength cannot be denied.

    For the average player it is easily Spirit, for people who play competitively it is most definitely Nurse.

    I think Nurse once you learn how to master her.

    Nurse, despite her power she still has counterplay, unlike her contemporary.
