How do you deal with a Starstruck nurse?

Especially on smaller maps, I'm genuinely asking.

For some reason, I've faced a few in the last couple of days which resulted in all games lost. I for one, tend to hide a little more whenever I'm exposed by the perk & play safer.

However, I can't peel for my teammates, it's impossible. My teammates go down in mere seconds, 3-5 blinks later and they're down. I'm very used to nurse in red ranks so I'm quite adept at going against her. I tend to run Flashbang more cause of this since it's pretty strong against Nurse & this build in general.

I've had 2 of my teammates go down under 10 seconds, multiple times.

Are there any other tips / tricks I should know? I don't own the perk, nor Trickster.

The usual perk build consists of:

• Infectious Fright / Surge / Undying- Optional.
• BBQ / Ruin / Pop - Optional
• Starstruck - Mandatory
• Agitation - Mandatory

The 2 optional perks can be flex perks, due to the simple fact, well.... it's a nurse + exposed status for 30 seconds.... Infectious would be the most common due to the fact you can down someone with the exposed status & then blink to another in mere seconds and possibly down them.

The worst part of Starstruck + Agitation is that as soon as you pick up the survivor, Agitation activates first then Starstruck, thus you get a larger terror radius first then u expose everyone around you. This is pretty unavoidable. Depending on where on the map she picks up, this can be insanely strong. Not to mention, you can drop the survivor & starstruck will still activate then immediately go on a cooldown, resulting in more uptime. This tactic can be used for Slugging builds & Slugging in general.

I've got very far away from the downed survivor but the exposed status still hits me, it's insane. I swear it covers 2/5 of the map. If it's a small map, it may as well cover 2/3 of the map or 2/4 of a map.

Why is it so strong? Because it's an insta down. Normally, a nurse would have to hit a survivor, fatigue, blink again and hit them again, and they'll have to deal with Dead Hard for the most part & other variables, such as survivor being lucky, getting a good read, hitboxes cucking your hit, etc etc...

Do you want to stay injured? You're gonna be 1 hit then but you'll have dead hard. If u are healthy you can take a hit & then you'll have dead hard, but ur gonna get one shot from starstruck if it exposes you & can't use Dead Hard. Mainly using Dead Hard here since it's the most common perk & one of the strongest perks against a Nurse.
