I love Stridor on Spirit

I equipped Stridor on spirit the last match.. the match was rough because they were a very coordinated 3-SWF but I managed to 4k anyways. And then I saw the end game lobby... There were 3 IRON WILLS, and I was hearing them loud asf! If I wasn't able to hear them while injured I'm sure I would've been completely destroyed...

I think I'm never going to unequip this perk tbh. What are your thoughts about Stridor?

    Stridor completely counters iron will, I’d say it is really good for her.

    I think Stridor falls into a class of perk that is bad to get used to, because then... well, you're used to it, and then it becomes sort of a crutch that you need to equip all the time, because it has become your "norm" in terms of how you perceive the base game mechanics around a type of survivor tracks. Bloodhound and Predator fall into this category, too.

    Yeah, it counters Iron Will. But taking Stridor just in case someone has Iron Will is like taking Calm Spirit just in case someone takes Infectious Fright. That is, it's a perk slot that could hold something that's more broadly useful.

    Stridor is good on Spirit but it can screw up where you phase to if your used to not using it. Survivors will sound MUCH closer and the survivors that do have Iron Will don’t sound nearly as loud as the ones who don’t have Iron Will.

    You have to adjust to whether the players is running Iron Will or not.

    It’s a good perk but I don’t run it :/

    Stridor is amazing on her. It's one perk I love to use but I did stop using it a while ago as I found myself becoming too reliant on it.

    Anything is subject to change even hardly used perks so I change up my builds alot.

    Iron will is meta though

    Fair enough, you see it a heck of a lot more than anything else I named. I do think it's not a good idea to get used to something that fundamentally alters your perception in this way, though, because then you wind up needing to equip Stridor on other killers, too, because you've gotten too comfortable with it -- to the degree that NOT equipping it would screw up your judgment.

    I enjoy Stridor in general, kinda underrated imo. I especially love it on Legion as stabbing everyone leaves most/all injured and super easy to find em as they scurry to hide xD

    Stridor on Spirit is like Shadowborn on Nurse. Once you get used to it, you can't give up on it and you are left with just 3 perk slots.
