How can I find survivors with IW as Spirit without Stridor?

Member Posts: 995

Tried to play without Stridor because read going to get nerfed(wont counter IW) but its lot harder to track without it.

Now made to red rank 3 but anytime I take of Stridor getting destroyed by survivors with IW.

Need an alternative when Stridor gets nerfed,any advice?

    Tracker perks will help you. You can follow scratches.

    Usually it's not super hard to catch them, but it might take longer than with survivors that don't have IW. If they are very good and unpredictable, just don't chase them or chase them without using your power and wait for the bloodlust to kick in, BUT ONLY if you're in a spot you can afford to do so.

    Good replacement perks for Stridor are Bloodhound or Spies from the Shadows or the add-on Father's glasses.

    But yeah, this change feels stupid since it makes a niche perk (for other killers) a complete trash now while making an already meta perk even more stronger. And they still haven't fixed the footstep sounds, not having injured sounds without IW and other sound bugs.

    And I'm betting that after the change, the forums will be full of threads people crying nerfs to the Stridor replacements I mentioned above.

    -Scratchmarks

    -Blood pools (using Father's Glasses)

    -Moving grass/corn

    -Footsteps

    -Short phases

    -Dust particles (when vaulting windows/pallets)

    -Other sound queues

    I don't play with headphones or Stridor. I'm okay at best lol

    I play Spirit very similar to Wraith. Haunting is movement and map pressure, but without uncloaking. I play both roles so I'm familiar with spawn locations. So most of the time I'm going by experience, gen patrolling and then also bitter murmur. You can't see the auras when phasing, but I play with NOED so when that last gen pops, i see where everybody is lol

    Spirit Players should have never been given Stridor, LMAO, some of y'all are helpless. Lemme pray, chile.

    Anyways, ya shoulda never been using that crutch perk from the start. If you ain't be using it on other killers, why use it on Spirit. I feel like part of playing Spirit, like any other killer, is to use your tracking to predict / determine where a survivor is. It's honestly nice that this change balances the 50 / 50 a little more for survivors. But, most decent Spirits, including myself (P3 retired Rank 1 main) never really used it to begin with.

    This is why stridor spirit was so hated. Those two together made it easy mode.

    I would use glasses so you can see blood when phasing
