Which Killers Needs Add-on Pass?

Nurse, most of her addons are bad, the only good ones are range addons. I think we should buff all her other addons to that level since her killrate is so low.

Pig. Again. I'd argue her last pass was a failure.

The only positive she gained IMO is Amanda's Letter. Everything else is at best net neutral, which is bad when she has a lot of complete trash add-ons

1) The Spirit

DCB needs a rework, it takes most of the skill out of her, especially with the iron will nerf incoming, it could be used for something else.

A lot of Spirit's addons are largely useless, including Mother's Glasses, Senko Hanabi, Rusty Flute, Wakazashi Saya etc. These addons have really unique concepts, yet some of the numbers/effects are way too minute to actually offer value during gameplay. May I also mention she also has MDR which is quite literally one of the top 3 iris in the game (down to opinion) and then Kintsugi Teacup which whilst sounding good in concept, ends up rarely giving much value.

I think Spirit needs a bit of balancing, not a full on addon rework. Here are some ideas:

Kintsugi Teacup

• Instantly recharges Yamaoka's Haunting after damaging a generator, vaulting a window and breaking a pallet or breakable wall.
• Reduces the duration of Yamaoka's Haunting by 0.5 seconds.

Dried Cherry Blossom

• Increases the volume of Survivors' breathing, grunts of pain and footsteps by 25% during Yamaoka's Haunting.
• Scratch marks are no longer visible during Yamaoka's Haunting.

Mother-Daughter Ring

• Increases movement speed during Yamaoka's Haunting by 40%.
• Increases The Spirit's terror radius and directional-phase cue radius by 8 metres.
• Scratch marks are no longer visible during Yamaoka's Haunting.

Wakizashi Saya

• During Yamaoka's Haunting, press the Active Ability button to immediately return to the Husk.
• Survivors within 8 metres of the Husk trigger killer instinct and suffer from the Hindered status effect.

Mother's Glasses

• Phasing within 16 metres of a generator triggers a difficult skill check for all survivors repairing the generator.
• Failing the skill check results in an extra 1% regression to the normal failed skill check reduction.

Senko Hanabi

Successfully hitting a survivor in a post-phase attack calls on the Entity to block all pallets in a 16-metre radius for 15 seconds.

Rusty Flute

• Increases the recovery rate of Yamaoka's Haunting by 25%.
• Survivors in the Spirit's terror radius are hindered by 2% and suffer from a 10% action speed penalty whilst Yamaoka's Haunting recharges.

2) The Artist

The Artist actually has some great addons, but again I think some tuning is needed. Here are some ideas:

Matias' Baby Shoes

The auras of Survivors within 7 metres of an idle Dire Crow are revealed to you for 4 seconds.

Iridescent Feather

Grants the Undetectable status effect when Birds of Torment is on cooldown.

Garden of Rot

• Survivors swarmed by Dire Crows suffer from the Incapacitated status effect.
• Survivors who complete the Repel action suffer from the Exposed and Incapacitated status effect for 5 seconds.
• Reduces the maximum amount of Dire Crows by 1.

Severed Tongue

• Reduces the duration of which The Artist requires to send Dire Crows into flight by 0.5 seconds.
• Increases the flight speed of Dire Crows by 20%.

Severed Hands

• Any survivor within a 5 metre radius of a survivor which is swarmed will have their aura revealed for 8 seconds.
• A survivor who performs a healing action or repairs a generator with a swarmed survivor will also be swarmed.

3) The Onyro

I feel a lot of The Onyro's addons don't actually feel worth bringing into the match, just because their effects seem so impractical. I actually love her design and kit and I feel some nice addon changes would really help her out.

Mother's Comb and Ring Drawing become Base Kit effects.

Cabin Sign

Reduces the time it takes for a TV to turn on after Projection by 20 seconds.

Old Newspaper

• Increases the invisibility duration after Manifesting by 33%.
• Manifestation is 5% faster.

Yoichi's Fishing Net

• Decreases the maximum amount of Condemned stacks by 1.
• Increases the rate at which Condemned builds by 13% whilst holding a VHS tape.

Well Stone

• All TVs play the Projection effects after The Onyro projects to a TV.
• Reduces the time it takes for a TV turned off by a survivor to turn on by 10 seconds.

Sea-Soaked Cloth

• Powered TVs play The Onyro's directional lullaby in an 8 metre radius.
• Survivors within 8 metres of a Powered TV do not hear The Onyro's real directional lullaby.

Reiko's Watch

• Increases the invisibility duration after Manifesting by 50%.
• Manifestation is 10% faster.

Clump of Hair

• Decreases the range at which The Onyro is visible while Demanifested by 12 metres.
• Manifestation is silent.

Rickety Pinwheel

• Survivors within 8 metres of a powered TV suffer from the Oblivious and Blindness status effects.
• These effects linger for 15 seconds after leaving the 8 metre radius or if the TV is turned off.

Ring Drawing

• A survivor on a generator with a Condemned survivor gains Condemnation at a 20% speed than the usual rate.
• A survivor unhooked by a Condemned survivor will gain 1 stack of Condemnation.

Mother's Comb

Reduces the amount of Condemnation stacks reduced after inserting a tape by 1.

Bloody Fingernails

Increases the speed boost after Projection by 2 seconds, in which The Onyro is granted the Undetectable status effect.

Well Water

• Increases the duration of the Undetectable status effect after manifesting by any means by 2.5 seconds.
• After using Projection, The Onyro's directional lullaby is silent for 20 seconds.

VCR

• Projection is silent for any survivors within 16 metres of a powered TV.
• Projection is 25% faster.

Telephone

• Causing a survivor to witness manifestation from within 7 metres turns on all TVs that they have previously retrieved or inserted a tape into.
• Survivors witnessing manifestation within 7 metres suffer from the Hindered status effect.

Tape Editing Desk

• Each survivor starts the Trial with a VHS tape in their possession, their target TV being the farthest from their location.
• All TVs turn on immediately at the start of the trial.

Distorted Photo

After using Projection, all survivors within 16 metres of a powered TV have their auras revealed for 3 seconds.

Remote Control

Increases the range at which The Onyro inflicts Condemnation on survivors through nearby Projection by 8 metres.

Let me know what you think :)

Bubba needs some addon love - most of them are pretty silly as they nerf his chainsaw rev time too much.

I mean remember that this is an add-on pass you're proposing, so why shoot this down? An add-on pass for Nurse wouldn't just mean making her other add-ons more viable, it would also mean nerfing her already strong add-ons.

What I can think of from urgent order is

1) Freddy - Red Paint Brush is only useful. Even his nerfed basekit do not make him rely much on add-ons because he's already so bad.

2) Hillbilly, Deathslinger - Both killers' add-on choice is so limited and do not make them strong enough.

3) Pyramid Head, Nemesis - Decent basekit. But add-ons overall are so stupidly bad.

4) Nurse, Spirit - Their good add-ons are very powerful but both have so many gimmicky bad add-ons.

Sadako is due for a full balance pass. It probably would have happened this midchapter but the big reworks delayed it. Either way I’m pretty she’ll be the next character with a full pass on her base kit and add-ons.

Deathslinger needs new add-ons so badly and Ghostface too. Both killers had some add-ons changed but most of their add-ons are still the worst in the game.

Pyramid's add-ons are decent from brown to green (except for the killer instinct ones). The purple and iri add-ons need some help though.

Freddy once had good add-ons... Before they gutted his best ones. Just revert the nerf, please.

Bubba's add-ons are also worthless, with the exception of the speed add-ons, the chillis and iri flesh.

Nurse has the range add-ons and some others that give her small buffs. The rest is pretty thrash, especially the red ones.

Spirit's green add-ons were decent before they changed it forbad gimmick ones. Just revert the nerf.

Not to mention killers whose majority of add-ons are decent, but have a portion that makes no sense. Hag with her trap activation range add-ons and Pinhead with the add-ons that give more range to his chains.

The rest of the cast have okayish add-ons.

I hope so, I've been having some fun with her again lately but she could use some help, nevermind an add-on tweak or 3

Edit: wasn't it last reported twins were still up next for their balance pass? Or was that dropped?

There are a lot of them that need some love:

Trapper: trapper sack isn't good for being a purple addon for the simple fact that you CANNOT PICK UP YOUR TRAPS ONCE SETTLED for the entire trial. The addons that boost your set up speed are ok, as the Trapper bag that will add another trap in your hands, the others are too much gimmick or straight up worthless (except for the iri addons and the honing stone, which are a bit underpowered for being addons with that kind of rarity).

Wraith: well, most of his addons aren't bad, but his main problem is that his basekit was nerfed (like if he was a s tier killer) and now he just sucks without both the addons that will uncloack him faster in order for being somewhat viable. The addon that cause blindness and the one that will help you to see bloodpools better while cloaked are borderline useless.

Hillbilly: most of his addons are either gimmick or worthless, decisely he needs a complete addon rework.

Nurse: she needs some little modifications on her basekit imo and she needs the long range addons fixed (not nerfed, fixed since they are actually bugged and the blink charge isn't slowed as the addons say). I would rework some of his farming addons (3 addons for farming are a bit too much after all, without mentioning that 2 of those will nerf your power).

Huntress: except for a couple of addons that are a bit underwhelming I would dare saying that she's fine as she is right now.

Hag: same as above.

Doctor: well, he needs some buffs to his basekit and the addons that modify his shocking attack are garbage, everything else is fine.

Clown: again, most addons are gimmick or useless, the recharge addon is fine as the addons that will give you more bottles... I would improve his invigorating effects (and they shouldn't have effect on survivors too).

Deathslinger: oh boy... Nerfed too much his basekit, his addons aren't good at all... He needs a complete rework (or reverting his nerf and buffing some of his addons).

Oni: some addons aren't much useful, but aside those addons everything else is in a good spot.

Myers: only addons that make sense are the ones that speed up his stalking speed, the others are meme addons or addons too much weak/strong (extremely weak if you are aganist good survivors, overkill if you are against inexperienced survivors), he needs buffs to his basekit

Leatherface: except the faster token recharge and both chili, i don't see any reason to pick up the other addons who are worthless

Freddy: shall i wrote something? for real? i guess everyone will agree that his addons are completely useless

Pig: well... she has only 3/4 addons that improve her ambush attack, the others are focused on her traps... still her addons aren't good

Spirit: she was nerfed too much and now she's BARELY viable only with her 2 strongest addons (i say barely cause survivors will always know when you are phasing in their positions). she need a rework

Legion: this killer needs a proper rework from the basis, not the "rework" that devs did to him... addons are underwhelming

Plague: good spot, i would personally gave her addons that will incentive survivors to cleanse (more % penalty to reparing/searching chests IF they refuse to cleanse once FULLY infected)

Ghostface: his best addons are the brown ones... shall i keep going? awful addons

Demogorgon: meh... his addons aren't completely useless, but they aren't good either...

Pyramidhead: only the addons that improve your range are decent, everything else is useless

Blight: good addons, he's fine

Twins: they had nerfed her best addons that reduce the charge time for doing a pounce... they need a complete rework

trickster: addons that improve the duration of main event are trash, ricochet blades should be a brown/yellow addon, his iri addons are situational

Nemesis: again, nerfed 2 addons that weren't even good to begin with (the ones that improve the zombie speed and detection range), all his addons are underwhelming, need buffs

Cenobite: similar to nemesis except for his purple addon (should be impaling wire) that's ok, everything else is mediocre or straight up useless (hello gateway range addons)

Artist: well, a couple of good addons, everything else is average

Sadako: the killer itself is the problem sadly... some addons aren't bad, but she's too much weak generally speaking

Dredge: except the one that will reduce the time to destroy locks and the ones that will reduce the time for nightfall (hook/injure a survivor for gaining a faster charge and the one that improve the speed of the nightfall meter when a survivor is injured by 66%), the others are bad

Freddy: almost all his addons are bad except red paint brush and some others are only a bit useful. The kiiller with worst addons in DBD imo.

Demogorgon: his best addons are two brown addons (black heart and rat liver) and a yellow addon (Barb's glasses), almost the rest of his addons are mediocre at best, except the red ones which are not awesome anyway considering their rarity.

Nemesis: mediocre addons in general.

Pyramid head: the only good ones are the power distance ones and maybe the power duration ones, his purple and red addons are a complete joke specially the red ones.

May I add Bubba, Legion and Ghostface to your list?

Pyramid Head has the single worst selection of addons in the game.
