    Blink near them, pause and then swing.

    Or blink near them, if they use DH early, then fatigue without swinging (swinging increases fatigue by 1s). Then catch them again.

    Is there a way to see where my blink will go or do i have to use the add on for this?

    If you absolutely need to see where you're blink will go, then the addon is the only way.

    Don't recommend using it though, since it can mess up your muscle memory.


    An addon you might be interested in using would be wooden horse. Which can lesson the pain of DH a small bit.

    Whatever you choose, the main and only thing you can really do would be as said above, blink near as though you will attack, and wait for the DH.

    Blink on top of them, wait a bit, they mostly will use E and then use the second blink to down them. You can also use perks like Fearmonger, on nurse is very good.

    Really no easy answer, the best being accurate with your first blink. If you can blink within lunge distance after your first blink you can bait DH or land a quick hit if they don’t expect it and have bad reactions.

    People say that, but there's no possible way I could learn Nurse without it. At least at the very beginning, to help learn the mechanics of controlling where you go, different levels, etc. Before I found out about flannel, I just considered Nurse impossible.

    And I'm not very good at nurse, so I'm not proving you wrong, I'm just saying the addon makes it possible for me to try. I've never used crosshairs of any kind, and I'm a decent Huntress, but Nurse is on a different level of aiming. Even with flannels I sometimes end up wondering where the hell I went.

    I'm sure you're right, learning correctly is important in lots of skills, but if the skill is completely out of reach without the training wheels, I think the re-learning is better than never learning. Nurse is hard.

    Just don't hit early if you know they have Dead Hard. Missing hit will add more cool-down, so don't do this. You have not so much against Dead Hard as Nurse. You have to bait but smart survivors will use it after your second blink.

    Oh boy.

    1. Blink on top of them and bait DH out for 2nd blink

    2. Use her Iri addon

    3. Instantly attack after a blink so they can't react to it with DH.

    I guess the watch addon might help for 1.

    Never use addons when training as nurse, without addons it only takes a few games to get used to it.

    Be patient and make an accurate first blink, then wait out the DH and hit them on the chain blink. It's much easier to deal with when you know a survivor has it. If they DH too early, you can usually still lunge and hit them before you fatigue if your blink was super accurate.
