    Nurse, she goes through everything no matter what you do so the potencial is limitless.

    Vs spirit I can at least throw down god pallet and be mostly safe, even generic ones can help if you read her right.

    Nurse will always be the strongest killer. She can literally nullify all the help that the game provides to survivors. Only ones who stand a chance against a Good Nurse are a well equipped and well coordinated SWF on a map that has lots of LoS. Being good isn't good enough, expert teamwork is a must and the proper genrushing perks and items must be brought in as well.

    Think with the current bugs, spirit is probably third and Nurse is top

    I feel like Nurse is stronger just because there is less counterplay. Albeit, only at levels where she is mastered, otherwise I assume most killers would get more value out of Spirit.

    I do think it is somewhat map dependent. Nurse is interesting as a killer because I feel if her power were nerfed a bit she would go from being the most powerful to being entirely unviable and she's very binary because of her power. Basically if she's nerfed to the point where survivors can run away faster than she can catch up then she is unplayable, but because she ignores obstacles she becomes too powerful, like she is now if she can catch up to survivors. And I think she's near the edge already. I bit of a nerf and nurse is dead surprisingly.

    A god Nurse can do well in just about any map, so she remains the top 1 for me. Spirit is good on every map, but unlike Nurse, she still plays DBD. She has to deal with windows and pallets, even if she does it way better than most of the roster.

    I believe the same thing. I've probably 1k hours playing only with Nurse and I feel I can't play without blink recharge in indoor maps. Everybody wanted omegablink and multiple blinks out of the game, and that would be amazing, but we've still have omegablink and for compensating, a base-kit recharge. I've been playing a lot of Lery's and HD recently and I'm pretty sure I could have done better with Spirit. Indoor + full recharge time is looking too much for me.

    Spirit when not bugged has the best 1v1 in the game. But, Nurse being barely behind in that and with the best Snowball potential in the game triumphs her.

    Nurse easily she goes through pretty much every object in the game. Spirit can not do this she can easily mindgame you but, a good nurse is gonna get you quicker than a good Spirit will

    Nurse will stay at the top for as long as the game lives because BHVR is simply too scared to make strong killers anymore. With McLean gone, we'll probably get a bunch of recycling of average killer powers.

    Basekit Nurse is better than basekit Spirit.

    Spirit with addons is better than basekit Nurse.

    Nurse with addons is better than Spirit with addons.

    On console, Spirit by a mile. On PC, seems like Nurse has the edge

    To your point though, I think Spirit is much more consistent regardless of map type

    Nurse is stronger than Spirit but Spirit is easier to play than Nurse. If fully mastered Nurse is the big winner for me.

    Nurse, unless something changes in the future it will always be nurse. It doesn't matter the map, the loadout, the survivors, nurse is always the best as long as you are playing extremely well. On controller sure, spirit would edge her out, but if we are talking about the killers' full potential which is on m&k, nurse.

    If you know what you are doing nurse will have a decent chanse against SWF wich also know what they are doing.

    Spirit (in my opinion) has a easier learning curve than nurse, but as many people say, looping with her can be difficult because you have to loss some second to enter in the spirit realm and then walk and try to outplay the survivor, with nurse you simple tp over the wall and try to hit him.

    The only thing in my opinion spirit has over nurse is the fun of standing still on a loop and see some survivors walk to you for an easy hit (wich don´t happens usually but i find really funny when it happens).

    I think this is about right. I think people need to realise how awful Spirit can be without add ons. Without Add ons I would sometimes put her in B tier because she can be ass to play.

    Blight without add ons is better than Spirit without add ons.

    Big maps make the nurse not so great, small ones make her a god. I’d say blight is better than her on big maps but worse on small ones and the spirit is behind both of them.

    I think Nurse is stronger than Spirit.

    Because Nurse can literally ignore all the rules within the realm, while Spirit has to follow them. They both are really strong chasers, but I think Nurse is a little better at chasing. The Nurse is a lot better at traveling around on the map, which makes her better at creating map pressure, and pressure in general.

    Sure, Nurse has a tiny bit more counterplay than Spirit. But I think really good Nurses can get around that.
