To lunge or not to lunge

I know it might sound dumb, but when should I lunge? When should I only tap M1 to hit someone? And, for Spirit (as I'm trying to learn and actually started to play her this week), should I lunge or tap M1 after phasing?

That’s true, but you also need to consider a couple of weaknesses of lunging
- Lunging has a narrower arc to hit the survivor, so if they’re juking to the side there’s a higher chance of it missing then if you do a quick attack
- Survivors can both see and hear you start a lunge before the swing happens so it is definitely possible for them to trigger Dead Hard the instant they detect it happening and the attack will be blocked. Or they can do a 360 as it starts and just make it harder for you to track the swing (though not impossible)
So if you think either of those concerns might make you miss you should consider just continuing to moving closer to the survivor to do a quick attack instead. If you’re fairly sure the survivor won’t block or dodge the attack though then lunging is fine. 👍

The game usually stops the lunge when you’re close enough to hit the survivor so 99.9% of the time just lunge
