How does Spirit feel to play in the PTB currently?
I wanna keep track of this to see if she feels too weak or not feel changed at all, i’ll do it to everything in the ptb so I can try to understand everything exactly and i’ll make it way easier to understand if you guys have problems with her or not
also try to keep the replies as truthful as possible so I understand fully

Less broken that's for sure

She is pretty balance now, you can still do well with her, she will still stay top tier I think but she has more counterplay now

Okay in the open field. But in lopps she doesn't really have any real ability anymore... I tried several matches as a survivor and it was useless for my opponent. I can throw the pallet down and I'm safe. She has to break them now, which was not necessary before. For the loops she needs something special otherwise she is an m1 killer. Like bubba He can braek a pallet fast With His chainsaw.

Not gonna be an accurate assessment. Ptb skill levels are inconsistent and lots of people messing around.
From survivor perspective all mindgames are gone now.

I just got finished testing her with my brother in some custom games. She is a lot more fair to play against now, and you can kinda pinpoint her location with the new phasing sound--however, on simple pallet loops she's still pretty mean. Same goes for windows, you can probably catch someone before they reach the window or even grab/hit them while they're fast vaulting. I like her new addons as well, and as a big fan of her passive phasing addons I really like the new Bonsai Tree (very fun to use!). The "Killer Instinct within 4 meters of Spirit" addon is a little weaker than I expected, given that 4 meters is apparently VERY SHORT and you have to be within striking distance to trigger it. But I'm glad, since it would completely counter any stealth, Iron Will and basically any efforts on the part of Survivors.
I'm very happy with her now and I think she's still quite powerful. I'm glad that she has counterplay now and isn't completely awful to play against. I haven't been playing her at all since I didn't like how unfair and unfun she was to play against but now I'm looking forward to playing her in future games!

Well she had directional phasing sounds on release and everyone said she sucked. Even that stream who makes up part of the DBD power couple made a video complaining about how bad she was….then he started a 2 year long hate campaign to get her nerfed after he lost a few survivor games. Its funny how thats now considered balance, you can tell who the new players are.

Not much different honestly. Like to see what happens when they test the kicking up dust part.

Honestly I didn't notice a difference.

While trying PTB, I only faced a few Spirits, the changes are... confusing to say the least, but I don't feel they are as damaging to the Spirit as some claim it to be. The phasing sound while nearby is really loud, even if directional, you don't get a super clear idea of where she is, but it does help you make safer guesses than before. I guess this pretty much only helps with the fake phasing strategy some players made and it's no longer viable.
I don't play Spirit so I can't make a comment in how she feels from the Killer's POV. I did have a few Spirits comment the sound is really loud on their end too, but I don't think that's intended.

I watched a video right now where tru3 was testing it and he seemed to be able to track her exact location even got her with a pallet stun while phasing. I'm really not sure yet.

If she has pallet control, she can still play around loops fine (but it's more difficult). She can play around short loops well even if the pallet's down (but it's more difficult). She can't play around window and pallet loops that require her to travel a significant distance before reaching it(at least without speed add-ons, opinion pending on those). I don't think you can bait survivors into taking a vault and staying on that side very well. They can simply vault on reaction and be ok on those types of loops, forcing the pallet break. She now pretty much only has 3/5 good green add-ons. Most of the other add-ons are good.

Well, survivors are all over the place in skill level in ptb so its hard to judge her overall strength.
Imo they absolutely gutted her in regards to high level/ high mmr. Survs told me in endgame chat how easy it is to hear her exact location while phasing. in average mmr territory shes still gonna be strong tho i feel.
1 -
She is the same. They changed nothing about her that has any impact in the chase.
0 -
did you play against her in the ptb? im asking because the difference is huge from my experience. i can hear exactly where shes at while phasing.
2 -
Yup I played 3 times so far against her. Still playing PTB at the moment

Vs average survivors you can still do well, vs the better ones you can't do anything. Now every survivor knows exactly where you are in your phase even without the dust particles that are not yet in the game.

I disagree, chases vs her are drastically different. I actually find it pretty fun.

Her newly added music is S-tier that's for sure.

The killer instinct addon is op asf detects survivors in lockers counter all draw backs of the best add-ons spirit is still spirit

Yay... More Nurse for everybody right?

yup......yay.

After watching multiple tests, seeing as how you can you can tell both her position and patting from the sound its just way too far and ruins her theme

Seriously this tho
I tried saying so many times she was not weak, she's strong and in a good spot, then they buffed her a few times.
lol, if only more people were open and listened we might not have had this mess for as long as we did.
