My thoughts on The Spirit

So I've played her in the ptb and now and I've noticed one thing...

She is still weak. The fact that she doesn't see blood or people is a terrible idea. Sure, you can hear their crying, but only if you're almost standing right next to them, and if people still don't notice the body block, then they shouldn't even play this game.

They should either let The Spirit see survivor blood, or make it so she can stay in the spirit form for as long as she likes. Or just make her be able to see survivors. The way she is right now, I'd say just above Freddy and that's only because no one knows how to play against her right now. In a week she'll be weaker than Freddy.

Her speed is too slow considering the low charge amount or high recharge time her power has. Her lunge is like the other killers so that's no issue imo.

I like the idea of this killer and they implemented it...ok I guess, it's just that they also gave her unnecessary cons, for example, the not being able to see blood or survivors while in the spirit world or the amount of charge her ability has baseline without add-ons. It would also be nice to be able to use the power mid charge tbh.

Her perks are alright but they are situational. If you're in rank 3 - 1 people won't really care about the exposed status that much anymore since they can easily pallet loop you on maps like Shelter Woods and Farm

Thanks for reading my I guess you could call it a review of the new killer's stats.

    She's supposed to be hard to play but I agree she needs some tweaks. Also, (Sorry Not_Queen) I Kinda don't like her new sound effects. (Adam's is worse imo)

    She's still pretty much the same as PTB, except now that she can't see blood

    survivors are still able to drop the pellet on me despite me phasing to them, 8m is too short, why wasn;t it her terror radius?

    Yep, she seems low tier to me. Sad, because I had high hopes for her.

    She is okay with the best add-ons, but without add-ons she's very low tier

    she now have a massive sound indicator when she is phasing, mindgame potential has been ruined

    Yeah, that seems pretty accurate.

    It's sad but true indeed

    Wait what do you actually mean with sound indicator? Is there like a skill-check sound or what?

    When you use your haunt ability and go toward a survivor it sounds like a jet engine approaching from their end.

    And about half as subtle.

    She will be quite good if you are an experienced killer going vs unexperienced survivors.

    Experienced survivors will completely wreck you though because they dont fall for the mindgames. The fact taht phase walk is only silent in a 8 meter range around the husk completely kills her at higher level

    I don't get why the devs have done that tho. Knowing that, she's even below Freddy Krueger in his current state!
