Awful Nurse at red ranks getting bullied!

I also try to learn her on ps4. I was rank 4 now iam rank 9 and got alot of tbagging. But its ok nurse on console is hard to learn. Sometimes i switch back to my main and swoop some asses to get back a little selfconfidence. So dont give up every succesful blink feels good

If you can predict movement then you can outsmart with nurse. Marth88 main nurse and I know noob3 and hybridpanda play her as well. Int3r4ct did a full guide on her including the movement speed and her add ons. I would watch him to understand her from inside out. Posted the link to the video below.

Because iT wOuLd Be UnFaIr

I have multiple console friends who would beg to differ or say it's equal at the very least.

But can't please everyone.

Plaid Flannel is great to start with, as it helps give you an idea of how far you blink with how long you hold the button. I think it's best to use it for your first 4 or 5 games to get a feel for her ability, and then quit using it and try relying on your previous experience! I tried playing her right off the bat without the flannel, and it was a nightmare.... but after playing about 4 games with the flannel and then not using it, I did much better!

I hope it works for you too, and good luck! 😎

Plaid Flannel is good, you just need to beware of not becoming reliant on it. Whether or not you'd learn faster without it honestly depends on what kind of learner you are. If you learn best by trial and error, don't use it, but if you're someone who learns best by being given the solution and then imitating it, the Flannel could work well for you.

The only thing I would recommend against is using any add-ons that alter her base kit, such as range lengthening, fatigue reduction, ones that increase the chain blink window, add additional blinks, or even reduce the cooldown. Being good at Nurse is a lot about muscle memory, so while you're still learning her it's best to get used to her unaltered self first so you don't become reliant on those add-ons.

Basically, playing Nurse for the first time now is like jumping into the deep end of a swimming pool when you don't know how to swim in the first place. Sure you might eventually get it through sheer panic and force of will, but it won't be fun, and it could kill you...mentally...

It's all about predicting where survivors are gonna go. If you're going against the average survivor many of them will try and double back on you which is easily countered by simply letting go of the blink earlier. Against good survivors, and Nurse players, we know how far your blink is gonna go when you release it, so then it becomes a mindgame and survivors will be going for as many LoS blockers as possible. It's all about predicting where you think survivors are gonna go. You will get bullied to death at first, but you'll eventually get the hang of it. The addon that shows you where you're blinking to might be helpful to start with. I never used it because it was distracting for me, but you might like it. And hell, it's a brown addon so you could run it indefinitely if you wanted to, there's no shame in relying on a brown addon like that if it helps you, nor is there shame in running a gen build on her to begin with. It's whatever you're most comfortable with.

Ardetha's Nurse guide is pretty outdated now (The part about her add-ons especially), but it's probably the best Nurse video out, he gives a few good tips through the video which are still relevant and might be helpful. https://youtu.be/EfnmZvK4l88

Now I am a pretty ######### nurse myself, but something I've found is that when watching godly nurses like Ardetha, you actually start to learn her blink distances just through watching. For example, I'd never touched her, still can't now because she gives me a massive headache, but always used to watch Arde. First game I had with her my distances were already pretty close to perfect (just lunging that messed me up lmao). So watch people play her and you actually get better yourself, though you can't master her without playing the game properly.

Good luck my guy, and if crossplay is ever added I'll see you out there in the fog (hopefully as some godly nurse main).

I went through a similar process. I waited until I was at red ranks to start learning her on PC. It's a super painful process. As others have said, don't sweat the losses. It takes a bit of time to get a feel for charge vs distance, and even longer to apply that to a moving target. Then you need to learn how survivors move and path against Nurse, which is different from other killers. Once you have all that down, you get into the mind games and fakes with blinking. A lot of Nurse skills don't translate to other killers, and vice versa.

This was a old Idea but still a nice one. Why not adding a "unranked" mode to the game OR a "practice area" with some bot survivors to get used abit to the killer and try them out. Could also be used for some perk testings etc.

As painful as it is, you'll be far better without Plaid Flannel in the long run. The muscle memory will come. Cooldown reduction and range increase are the only two add ons really worth using. The ultra rares especially are absolute meme tier.

oh my god at the very least can we get a slower blink recharge rate when holding a blink instead of just outright stopping it? That alone would be a god sent gift. Sorry, an Entity sent gift.

The issue with your solution is essentially it's more wasted time..so essentially no matter what itll take multiple blink cycles to even attempt a swing..your showing the issue everyone mentioned in the old ptb..and yet these things get brushed aside

BHVR:

Tough to say exactly how long. Weeks if you're playing her every day. But yeah, I'd stop using it now, because you're eventually going to have to develop the muscle memory for blink charge vs travel distance, or you'll be sacrificing an add on slot for Plaid Flannel that could be used for something else. Use her good add ons. Cooldown reduction and distance increase. They over-nerfed her with the base cooldown, straight up. I'm fairly confident in saying even a great Nurse won't catch many experienced 2k+ hour survivors in a reasonable amount of time (for a killer whose only asset is 1v1) with base range and cooldown.

Before, Nurse didn't need any addons but they did help her a little bit if you were having trouble. Now, she is very addon dependent and most of her addons now hurt her more than they help her.

@DBD78 Yes, that is a risk I also had to notice. Same with Detectives Hunch, Windows of Opportunity or Zenshin Tactics, you want to learn with them but don't notice when you just start to run into the light instead of memorizing tiles. I had that with pre-rework extra blink addons. I thought, I'll try to go for the 2 blink hits and just use the third blink if I have to, to have at least a bit fun and second chance in chases. Just played 5-10 games, removed the extra blink and noticed how heavily I was expecting and aiming for the third blink already.

I would suggest, for learning purposes, just use the flannel in every other or in 2 of 3 games, so that you regularly get used to not rely on it. Reduced fatigue is probably the least "breaking" addon, as you don't mess up anything with the blink itself, which is the part that you need to learn. After the blinks, failed or successful, the fatigue addons come into play. So they might be good for learning as well, but again I would suggest to regularly play without them.

The main take away is there are VERY few addons and addon combos that work, and a few that COULD be good are marred by bugs that ruin their functionality. The rest are memes/trash and that was like half of the reason she was even getting looked at in the first place. It feels bad we are left with so many bugs and the entire point was missed.
