Opinion: Dried Cherry Blossom change is a buff, not a nerf
Reducing the Killer Instinct range from 4m to 3m allows Spirits to be more precise when getting out of her phase walk.

Not necessarily. The killer instinct shows exactly where survivors are anyway, so the range doesn't affect precision. This was a dumb change anyway tbh, the add on should've been reworked from the ground up.

The thing is, this nerf is barely going to do anything. Having KI on Survivors while phasing is inherently an issue no matter the range on it. Whether it's 3 meters or 4 meters, it tells you where a survivor is (or tells you no one is at your current position) without having to actually make the prediction yourself which removes a lot of the skill and counterplay from Spirit especially since it also doesn't give survivors any feedback that it's there.
The addon should've just been reworked entirely, not nerfed.

Not really. With 4m you were close enough to lunge at them with her. With 3m it is a bit harder to find the Survivor.
However, the nerf is not enough. They should have reworked the Add On competely, there should not be a way to get the exact location of a Survivor for a Spirit-player. From my experience (and I am not the best Spirit Player, not even close) you dont even need Dried Cherry Blossoms to get hits.
So a nerf for this Add On is justified, but removing 1m is not really it.

Remember the dust trails they were going to add original to Spirit. They could attach it to DCB then survivors would have some feedback that the spirit is using the perk. Of course this only helps experienced survivors and personally I would like to see the addon reworked instead. But I doubt BHVR will rework the addon before the mid-chapter release.

I'm sure they will rework this addon before it gets in live version, it could be 1 meter, and still be strong, there shouldn't be any way to know the exact location from a survivor in phase unles hearing them

the nerf to spirit that she can use no other add-on except MDR and her yellow speed add-on. MDR is 25% but if you use yellow speed, 25%+10%=35%. so MDR is still same but it costs two add-on slots and all these other add-on she has are pointless. personally my build on spirit was MDR+yellow speed for 50% speed boost but now that build is nerfed.

Yeah MDR nerf is significant for sure. I was referring to DCB specifically.
Her recovery addons actually have a purpose now though since duration won’t affect it anymore. So those aren’t bad either.
Yeah I remember that, that would give survivors feedback but I’m not sure it would prevent the addon from still being bad design despite that.

They should let you see scratch mark with MDR now that it got nerfed so much. Would help casual players who don't use headset.
