Spirit Add-ons
Hi,
I've always enjoyed playing Spirit but I agreed with the majority that the reasonable nerf was deserved.
However, with the recent buffs of the add-ons belonging to Legion and Ghostface, and seeing the absolute powerhouse Blight can become with just green and yellow add-ons, I do feel that Spirit's add-ons may need a bit of a look at. The majority of them are arguably useless, and it would be really cool if we could get some unique Spirit add-ons that actually feel useful during the game.

She has some decent addons, but I agree there are a few that should be revisited.
Senko Hanabi's duration is too short and has too short of a range to do anything most of the time.
Mother's Glasses is only good with Wakizashi Saya. On its own, pretty bad.
DCB is bad design and should be reworked. MDR is a bit too strong, and could use a nerf.
Juniper Bonsai also isn’t that good, I don’t think this one changed at all in 5.3.0, but passive phasing isn’t that impactful as it is.
Then there's still the issue of the brown and yellow recovery addons being straight up downgrades from brown and yellow duration, since the duration addons increase the recovery rate (to compensate for the extra duration) by the same amount as or more than the recovery addons. I'm not sure of the best way to address this.

That's something I wish for all killers, it's true she's full of move speed, duration and cooldown addons (and cooldown addons sucks because increasing duration increases also recovery).
If they made duration addons add charges instead of increasing the length the charges, the game would make much more sense.

Only add on changes spirit needs are a nerf to DCB and MDR. Strong killers don’t really need strong add ons imo

She has two add-ons that allow her to completely get her power back with what is normally counterplay (stunning her with pallets/breaking pallets). Then moving 40% faster with Mother Daughter Ring, and getting killer instinct with Dried Cherry Blossom.
Her add-ons need nerfs my dude.

Disagree her add-ons needs to be nerfed especially the Iridescent add ons both paired together are just so busted and remove some of her counterplay.
Also her purple add-on Dried Cherry Blossom needs to be looked at.
Spirit is still a very strong killer and has a very busted set of add-ons nerfs these first then we'll see about the yellow-green ones.

DCB doesn't need a nerf, it needs a new effect. Being able to know whether your phase was on point or not with killer instinct is just stupid and will be even if they cut the number in half.
MDR I agree, and fun fact, it's actually even more than 40% due to how it's calculated (because it's based off her normal 110 speed, eg. rather than just adding 40 to 176 for 216, it's actually 220)! I'd cut it down to 25-30% or so.

I actually quite like her add ons. I don’t think she needs too many adjustments. Her greens are kinda weak I spose.

Dried cherry blossom + mother daughter ring combo needs a nerf

I definitely don't think all her add-ons need buffs; MDR is busted and DCB removes any skill out of the use of her power. These add-ons could use changes.
However, Mother's Glasses is completely useless 99% of the time. Compare Mother's Glasses with Adrenaline Vial on Blight; both add-ons of the same rarity, but one is game-changing and the other has little to no use.
There are other add-ons that have very minor effects e.g. Senko Hanabi etc.
Also, Ghostface recently received an add-on named 'Olsen's Wallet' that immediately recharges Night Shroud after breaking a pallet or breakable wall, similar to the Kintsugi Teacup. However, Ghostface's add-on is of Rare rarity, whilst Spirit's is iridescent. I understand that Spirit's power is considerably stronger than Ghostface's, but it's strange because I would class DCB as better than the teacup anyway. I think some changes on add-on rarity for the Spirit would be welcome as well.
My points are mainly that some of her add-ons of lower rarity or gimmicky add-ons (Wakizashi Saya, Senko Hanabi, Mother's Glasses etc.) are just not justifiable as useful add-ons and deserve a re-work; either with new effects or stronger potential.
