Strongest on Console? Nurse or Spirit

By this point it's just gotten rather difficult to say just who the strongest is on Console, Spirit is so much easier to learn than Nurse by a longshot and it is a lot less punishing for any missed phase attacks then missed Blinks but you have more pressure applied to as Nurse if you manage to adapt to her blinks, and that is a big if


If you guys can i'm curious to hear your thoughts on who the strongest character is on Console,


In my personal opinion i do say that Spirit is stronger with all the hours i out into each of these 2 killers mostly bodying as Spirit and having closer calls with Nurse


Let me know your thoughts

    Probably spirit. Im not sure if the flicks that i have seen high tier nurse and blight mains on pc pull off are even entirely possible on console.

    Leatherface... Like, seriously. Spirit is better than Nurse for console, but after the nerfs, I just don't get why people even bother.

    If they were entirely possible Oni and Blight would be much stronger on Console

    Spirit, no question. Nurse just isn't designed to be played with a controller.

    Kinda sad we're even having this convo. The first killer i maxed out was Nurse, really tried to make a go of her. But the frames, the bugs, the turning all too punishing for me to handle.

    Really bothers me Nurse and several other killers simply cannot be played to anything like their full potential because I picked up this game while playing on an Xbox. After years of changes it feels further and further away from possible too.

    Spirit is by far the easier killer to pick up and play.

    But Nurse is still by far the better killer. If a console player puts effort into mastering her then they will be rewarded. Nurse is still the better and best killer on any platform.

    Aside from the addons, the Spirit nerf isn't really going to hurt too much aside from pretty high tier mindgames. She's still going to be a hypermobile killing machine, and still very much 'A' tier, alongside Hag and Blight.

    Spirit is definitely the best killer on console. Nurse is difficult to learn and play anyways but on console it's a nightmare playing as her sometimes.

    If you are good at Nurse on console, even though she is very hard, she is the best.

    With Oni, I can do 90 flicks on console but 180 ones are impossible.

    With blight 90 should be possible on console but I cant get them right still. I can do some stuff with blight that PC players can, but majority of his skillhits are possible only on PC.

    Nurse is much harder on console so I would say spirit is the strongest? Not sure how she will perform after nerfs tho

    As a few Spirit players have attempted (Like Scott Jund) It seems that she is more fair in the game but not much of a difference performance wise so it seems the nerf will be very insufficient

    I put around 1500 hours on console before moving to PC and imo Nurse is still the best. Yeah, she's 10 times harder to play on a controller, but she doesn't really have a limitation of what she can do like Blight or Trickster. You can't really do the fancy things like flicking your blinks, but those are unnecessary to do well (kind of like J flicks were unnecessary with Blight). Overall she plays the exact same on console, aside from the performance issues. Watch old footage of SupaAlf when he played on PS4 and you'll notice what I mean.

    I was under the impression that condole Nurse is the same as PC albeit harder to play.

    Nurse is stronger on Console. The platform is a different one, but the game is the same. However, it takes longer and is harder to learn Nurse on Console.

    (And there is not really a point in doing so. You can just learn Spirit, which takes far less effort and time for almost the same results)

    You're right to think that. I've sunk near enough 2000 hours into just Nurse on Console. Yes she is much harder to play, yes she is very buggy, but she's still the strongest killer.
