What do YOU GUYS think about the Spirit or as i call her Lady Rin?

@Redcum said:
I believe she needs a buff to her movement speed. Her power doesn't help enough in the chase to make her good. She can easily gets the first hit but it's way too hard to get the second one.

Fair enough.

I think she looks awesome. I think she just needs a tweak here and there to be really viable though. Her 4 second stationary transition really limits the mind game potential but I think the power could be great for cutting off chases.

Or that , being able to still walk and see the survivor during the transition could be a really good buff.

Thats probably to prevent her from being too strong .but maybe like see their shadows or similar could be nice

She is great in my opinion. I especially like the passive phasing ability, apart from her main power (which is also fun to play with). Adding the Addon which increases the frequency of passive phasing makes her really spooky to play against imo.
Also, that sword animation, oh god I like it!!!
Combine that with her ridiculous lunge range (when coming out of her main power), you can even cover the hole in Badham preschool or many spots on Haddonfield or mothers dwelling with the right timing.

Same

I haven't played her yet, but just a few observations and critiques.

My biggest complaint by far is Adam's perks.

For the Spirit:

I don't know what add-ons she has, but her power looks like it could use a few improvements. I can completely understand survivor and killer not being able to see each other, but I feel like it might be too easy to dodge. See the killer just stand still? Start running back the way you came because she can't see you, especially if the survivor is not injured.

As far as animation goes, I think she should be holding the katana all the time. It doesn't transition well to have the katana away while walking and then have it randomly show up when interacting with something.

The mori is pretty cool, just about the best thing going for this killer in my opinion.

She does have some useful perks, but they don't seem to fit with her, lore wise. The other killers mostly have perks that makes sense for them, but hers just seem to be randomly assigned.

• Spirit Fury is actually a pretty good perk to use against survivors that like to use pallets to stun the killer. Bit of a shame (for the killer) that she still gets stunned. I guess if you run it with Brutal Strength and Enduring, it can easily make chases easier later in the game when the survivors have exhausted all of the pallets. This perk is pretty good as it is.
• Hex: Haunted Ground will really make survivors think twice when cleansing totems. It would be good if you are running other Hex Perks, especially Thrill of the Hunt, because it will add extra effort to cleanse a trapped totem, just to backfire on the survivor. This is probably the best one out of the six new perks.
• Rancor just seems to be a mix of random things thrown together. You basically get a weaker Bitter Murmur, weaker Hex: Devour Hope, weaker Hex: No One Escapes Death, and you give your obsession Dark Sense. I think this perk could be better if it was less random. It's like the developers just said "here's a good new Hex perk and a random new Obsession perk."

As for Adam, he seemed so promising. Adam is supposed to be a very smart person, but his perks don't seem to show that effectively. As they are now, I would most likely not want to use them at all.

• I have actually thought of a perk that works almost exactly like Diversion does (my idea was to throw a rock or something and have the tracks go in the direction of the throw. Either way, it is a good way to mislead the killer, especially if they are tunneling a person. The biggest turn off for this perk is you have to sit in the killer's terror radius for 45 seconds, to only be able to use it once. Make it usable more than once, just have a long cool down. I would keep the other requirements, except for the 45 seconds, it should be shorter. This seems to be the most promising of his 3 perks.
• Deliverance is a mixed bag. It requires that you aren't found and hooked first. If you are hooked before the perk activates, it's worthless. Imagine being killed via mori before being able to use Decisive Strike. I would remove the requirement to save someone first, and keep the Broken status effect. Again, it's a lot of effort for seemingly little reward.
• Autodidact just seems off-putting. It doesn't seem like it's a necessary perk at all, merely something to add a bit of a challenge. I think Botany Knowledge is a better perk to use than this one. Quite frankly, this perk needs a complete overhaul. A much more practical use for Autodidact would be the ability to retain the ability of Med Kits and Toolboxes after they are consumed. The effect of Autodidact could either expire when the interaction is expired, or until you pick up a new item. For instance, if you are using a toolbox to sabotage a hook, and the toolbox is used up before it's destroyed, you could use Autodidact to finish the sabotage without a toolbox, even if you don't have the Saboteur perk. Same thing when using a Med Kit for Self Heal. Alternately, if a toolbox is being used to repair a generator, and it's consumed before the generator is repaired, Autodidact would allow you to finish the generator at the same speed as if you still had the toolbox.

Fair enough.

I think that she is a cool killer with a power designed to help in the chase and my favorite for mind games and suprise attacks.

What do you guys think about Lady rin? I think shes above myres for now.

Also now DS has a counter (OF SORTS). Good job devs.

Design and looks are nice, but she lacks the power of a viable killer, so she will dissapear after a few weeks which is quite sad considering how much time is wasted creating new killers.
But then devs dont want every killer to be viable against competent survivors as they said during the lsat stream, so I guess she is trash as intended

I think she is quite viable actually . At least myres level. And the mindgames with her are strong AF too.

Myers can get rekt completely by competent survivors too.
I will wait one or two weeks and then decide if I wanna buy her, maybe I will play her in low ranks only to have fun, that should work

Have you at least tried her or not really? (Legit question by the way I have not personally).

I would love to see how she would do with tracking perks. Since currently you cant see survivors in the phase walk i can see predator + sloppy butcher being really good on her when she is phase walking.

Its strong from what i saw.

No, I dont test new killers on PTB anymore, the queue times are too high.
But I am quite confident that I am able to form an opinion from the footage I saw.

If she was a 115% killer, it would be a no brain-buy but 110% make her quite dependent on her unreliable power

But I will buy her anyway I think, got almost 9k shards anyway

Fair enough. i think that when you use her you might change your views but we'll see about that.

What changed with DS? I guess I didn’t see that one

With Rancor you can 1 hit down and mori the obession when the gates are powered . Its a counter of sorts and its great with freddy and his end game perks.

Yea I saw that ,that’s a good one, I thought you meant a DS specific change but also good for Myers , that gives one a reason to leave the obsession alone unless they’re the last left also , if I were running rancor I wouldn’t even bother with the obsession at first simply because you’d be wasting your time with DS there when you could be downing everyone else and if you get to the point the gens are done it’s game over if you can get them, I like it .

yeah and its practically a guarranteed 1 man for the most part.

I will start at rank 15, be amazed so much fun to play etc. Then I start climbing, face at rank 13 several red ranks playing in a SWF and get stomped. I will say, its ok I am still not used to her and need to practice more.
I will continue climbing and somewhere in the single digit ranks I will realize how bad she is and that I have to derank if I still wanna use her while feeling powerful and having fun instead of being bullied.

Its been like that for every new killer and I believe this time, I will have bad experiences even earlier than with other killers

BE POSITIVE, DONT GIVE UP!!!!!.

I absolutely love her character design, her animations are creepy AF too which I love.

Her perks are overall decent, and what a lot of people have been suggesting for ages. Loving Hex : Haunted Ground

Her power is fun, I adore being able to jumpscare survivors and get those gen grabs. I think she still needs some tweaks but I'll still play her for fun games like I would play Scratched Mirror Myers (not expecting to destroy, just want to make people scream like little girls and maybe pee a little).

IMO She would be better if her phase had some kind of tracking beyond needing an add-on to track blood (especially if it is actually a bug that you can see some blood in phase rn). Something like built in predator (not tier 3 though as that would be a bit much), the way Wraith used to have built in bloodhound while cloaked before the PTB. Alternatively have the add-on that tracks blood during phase walk as base kit, rework the ultra rare add-on so it's similar to The Ghost (wraith add on) where her terror radius is suppressed for x seconds after coming out of phase (to help even more with her jumpscare fun).

Her ability recharge is pretty meh. Mainly because you need to wait until it's full to use again, I'd personally like to see it where she can use half a charge, cancel out and then use the other half even if it hasn't fully recharged yet. It could lead to better mindgames and give her that edge she needs.

She seems like she'll be mid-tier once people get to know how to play her. I've yet to come across anyone that legit destroys a team while playing, and 80% of the time I end up escaping with at most 1 survivor dead (unless I start as the obsession, I will stick around for that mori every time!). Then again on the flipside I've gotten no less than 3k every game as her, but only like rank 15 since I haven't touched PC killer in months.

It's still early though, it's been less than 24hours. I'm still going to continue trying her out in the PTB of course. I'm hoping it's just a learning curve, but we'll see how it plays out.

Either way I'm buying the crap out of this DLC on PC and PS4 when it hits.
