Why is Spirit just a better Nurse?

I still feel new to this game and I've been trying out the nurse (mostly cause I need nurse's calling and thanatophobia teachables) and she just seems...bad. I know she used to be the best but idk why you would play her when spirit seems to do the same things, can win chases, and is overall way easier to play.

    Nurse is definitely the top killer still. Completely ignores defenses, while you can still defend yourself even if not much with Spirit.


    A truly skilled Nurse shouldn't have been hit too hard with the changes, as all you need it the 2 blinks to get a hit; first blink to get close and second to land the strike. The cooldown just slightly delays the time between tries.


    It's really gonna come down to practice, if you want to get better with her I suggest just playing the hell outta her. Being able to predict survivors is a big part of it, so just pay attention to how they're avoiding your blinks if you struggle and be ready for it.

    Nurse is still the strongest killer to exist so far, because she just ignores the entirety of regular gameplay and ignores anything a survivor can do.

    However, she is just harder to play and Spirit is still a very good killer who is a lot easier to play than her- so people will often just play Spirit.

    Part of this is why people want a nerf to Spirit, so there will be more good Nurses again as many gave up when she got nerfed (even though, to be honest, the nerf really didn't do much to her basekit).

    Nurse is a way better snowballer than spirit but hard to use.
