    I like Spirit and she's addon dependent to an extent and takes time to master but once you do she's an absolute blast. I started with Trapper, played Pig then Myers but Spirit is just so much fun and you can take her to rank 1 easier.

    Spirit. She's strong enough to stand on her own without addons in lower ranks, which is pretty ideal.
    The killer has a solid base kit.

    One of her perks, Rancor, is one of my favorites as it shows survivor locations every time a gen is done (and yours to the obsession), and most importantly, when the gens are done, the obsession is exposed and if downed, you can Mori. Really fun, and thematic, imo.

    Haunted grounds adds some punch, and protection to hex builds. Her reputation for haunted grounds, and haunted grounds has lead to some fun in russian roulette builds.
    Looking forward to applying it to other killers.
    While they expect haunted grounds with the spirit they don't with 

    Spirit fury is an interesting one. Break a certain number of pallets, and it automatically destroys a pallet you get slammed with. You still get stunned, but it is popular to pair it with enduring to reduce the stun.

    Pig and Michael are the most fun to play imo.
    Cannibal has the best perks but he’s weak and has a bad playstyle imo.

    Ps: Legion is definitely not worth it.

    The spirit if you invest the time into learning her she's a lot of fun.

    Yes she's hard to master but she's oh so rewarding and as @Rebel_Raven said she's got some really nice perks. My build with her usually almost always has Rancor and even if it's swf I use Rancor as a mindgame and go one one like BBQ survivors do then another.

    I run Rancor, BBQ mostly for the points since i often forget to turn around but it's also good for when you do pay attention. Then I throw in bitter Murmur when i want to just make things difficult and Agitation depending on the group.

    Now if you really want to be Cheesy on her Rancor/Bitter Murmur/BBQ and Tinkerer then use her Prayer Beads and Yakuyoke Amulet and you'll terrorize.

    Now to truly mess with their heads throw in a secret offering like Shroud of Separation if it's all solos since they won't know it's not a Mori and when they see you they'll assume it's a Mori.

    Thanks for you help~

    You can't buy those three with shards as they are licensed killers.

    If I'm staying facts. The best killer in terms of power (Not including Perks) is Clown. Spirit in terms of perks.

    Hag has the Hex: Ruin perk so if you feel like you'd benefit from that, she's a good buy. Plus she's fun to play. Spirit is my favorite to play and she has pretty good perks. Leatherface is a must because of BBQ & Chili so if you don't have him, get him too. If you are not concerned with their teachable perks though and just care about which killer is the best/most fun, then Spirit for sure.

    Doctor is fun too and he isn't actually weak, he just takes some time to learn. I think he can be fairly strong though when you learn how to use his shock therapy to stop people from vaulting/using pallets.
