So how’s everyone’s games as and against Spirit been?
I’m not gonna lie, I’ve played as her many times and played against her 3 times (only 2 of those Spirit’s actually used their power) and she is the most universally fun killer in the whole game right now imo. I still have the control in the chase and I don’t feel helpless as survivor either. The back and forth counterplay is the main thing that makes her so interactive right now.
BHVR, I know y’all deserve a lot of backlash for all the ######### you do but this is one of those times when I’ll give you massive props. How many people agree with me?

I've only played as Spirit once, and played against her once. Guess I'll have to become a Spirit main.

Never liked using her personally but she's just not my style of killer.
Playing against her I never really felt it was unfair any killer in the right hands can destroy a team.
Sure spirit might take less skill than some others but I never bought into the whole pick spirit auto win argument i've beat a lot of spirits including some very good ones.
Having said that I haven't played against a single Spirit in 5 weeks & 3 days (I'm a stats nerd)
Edit for clarity I played 2 / 6 hours virtually every day until 3 weeks ago now I play roughly 8 / 12 hours a week at present.

Still as strong as ever due to how fast she is.
As usual people overreacted "mah mah spirit is dead"

I’ve made sure to play at least one game of killer as spirit every time I’ve loaded up the game (which hasn’t been much tbh). So far, nothing actually feels different from how she was before the nerf, the only thing different is that it doesn’t feel completely unfair if I demolish the survivors. I even went up against a sweaty swf with full BNP, flashy outfits and teabags, that was a blast of a game because they got what they deserved when I destroyed them.
As survivor I sadly haven’t actually played against a spirit once. :(

I've really been enjoying playing as her, I played a few games with her last night and had a lot of fun with her. Won two, lost two. I could definitely tell that the survivors knew where I was more frequently than they could correctly predict before, but I still felt in control of the chase and it was more rewarding to down people knowing that they had more information than they used to with old spirit.
As survivor I've only seen her twice since the update. One of those games was fun, the other one I didn't get chased much unfortunately.

Been same as usual. The effects of her nerfs have been exaggerated and full of hyperbole.

Don't see her anymore lately, i wonder.

Yea I mean she's definitely weaker but she's still really good. The dust change would've been bad but they didn't go through with it thankfully. I think she's in a good spot now.
I think a really good blight is probably stronger than spirit now though simply because he didn't get nerfed at all. But that's fine.

Blight is much harder to play with successfully than Spirit I believe. That's probably why.

Shes easy to face, before i needed to guess what she was doing now i know when she use her power so i have a huge advantage in chase

I've faced her a bunch. She finally has good counter play.
She's still a 100% hit at short loops and pretty good in the right hands at medium sized loops. I still feel like if you don't have Iron Will she can be extremely annoying but I always run Iron Will so it's fine.

my gameplay hasen't change
might be because i run devour,noed,undying,retrubution.
but yeah spirits nerf doesn't feel noticable

She feels much more fun to play as and go against.

Pretty much gone from higher ranks, which is I guess what people wanted, not sure why....but I guess. Out of dozens of games you might see her once. AI killers incoming.

Honestly she's fine how she is right now but I don't like the add on that gives her killer instinct during phase because it literally takes all the skill away and it becomes pretty brainless

I’m glad people are enjoying her now. And yes, people exaggerate too much saying Spirit is dead now.
0 -
I mean literally every other killer shows survivors when they use their power where Spirit didn’t which is what made her unfair before.

I've played her 2-3 times recently...
One of those was a 4K
Another one was a 4E
And the last one was a 1K 3E
I still haven't gotten the grasp of her power but I'm learning
Also some of her addons make no sense

Until recently I played spirit main.Since the update I find she or more likely me has lost her rhythm due to the changes,which although subtle have left her a little flat.She is still playable just less fun.
0 -
Certainly better than old spirit. I don't feel as helpless, but its certainly still difficult to fight a threat you cannot see. I don't roll my eyes when i see its a spirit anymore, so i'd say personally the changes were good. Her addons are kinda wack though, those probably need to be looked at.

Played against spirit 10 times in the past week.
Fun, but powerful, I noted a lot of 3 or 2ks with not many 4ks.

Taking your suggestion, I took her out of retirement.
I agree, the rumors of her demise have been greatly exaggerated.
Although, no doubts , MDR and Cherry Blossom is broken.
Perhaps strongest combo she's ever had!

Played a couple of games against her and the audio cue helps out a lot , but she is still such a great killer i think the balance was just right but as people here said , lots of folk overreacted and stoped playing her

Be careful not to make her popular. Survivors will just start to hate her again.

This would be easier to answer if I had actually gone against a Spirit once since her nerf.
1 -
I have yet to play against even one spirit player.
But playing her? She feels almost exactly the same, with the exception for safer loops. And as for her addons they are meh. A few are questionable like the one that blocks vault locations (does it block dropped pallets?).
MD ring is still broken btw

The chase music is insanely loud and needs to be toned down. Other than that she's ok.

Exept spirit the only cue she have for hitting a survivor in her power is scratch mark and buggy sound.
Pre nerf i used to play against her with the same mentality as her so i could more or less guess what she was doing. Now i have all the info so the interaction with her are a lot easier and she still have all the downside honestly her running at 175% movement speed change nothing if im at a window or a safe pallet. If im in a deadzone or in a loop like the car loop in bandham i should get hit by her but in any other place were its a safe loop like a killer shack or jungle gym she will never get me with her power unless i ######### up. All that is because i know when she use her power.
The reason she still a top 3 killer is because the other killer are so bad they cant even compete with the mobility the top 3 provide

Same gameplay loop, but now with less gambling, like her chase music though, its refreshing to loop a spirit consistently too.

In the highest of tiers, yeah, she's suffering a bit but just as you shouldnt purely balance things towards the lowest set of players, you also shouldnt balance things purely towards the highest set of players(you need to keep both in mind, as both sets of players need to face her). But amongst all other tiers, she is so much more fun to face, heck, some of her new addons make her a pallet shredder, which was one of the only things you could really use against a Spirit.
