Biased time, if there was a single thing you'd add or change about Spirit what would it be?

@MegMain98 My 3rd time trying her and I can see why people find annoying to play against.

She is very easy to learn. You dont need to see survivors or their scratch marks, because their grunts give away their position.

She's onryo. Japanese ghost lore doesn't follow the ''I'm invisible" and all the famous horror onryo were NEVER invisible. They were always in your face with creepy ass twitching and movements they made towards you.

So her being an invisible ghost? Doesn't even make sense with her ''Died in the grip of a powerful rage." Japanese horror ghost lore in the first place.

Main here and I would remove prayer beads from the game we dnt need them and they are boring to use. It's easy mode I love this killer, but those beads need to go. Otherwise shes quite balanced people just refuse to adapt to her and it shows. She's a unique killer and demands a style of play people dont want to play.

I actually like facing her, only killer I hate facing is new Freddy and clown because I hate being slowed down.

I dunno my dude, she can be annoying as hell to face. Personally I see why people dislike going against her especially because she’s extremely popular among red ranks. An extreme nerf to her though? Nah.

I dislike going against Trapper and Billy. I also never strongly dislike the Legion’s entire character.

Because if they're not invisible? She becomes the same problem she is now. Overpowered.

You're asking her to have a tell, but still have all the power she currently has. If she's visible to survivors it really changes nothing. Because a good Spirit is still going to track based on the sound of the survivor and the scratches.

She's still getting easy free hits with your suggestion. That's her current problem. She has no tell to her ability. She gets free hits.

If she's visible and can see survivors now too when using her ability? She's still gonna be getting the hit. Even more likely now to get that hit than she ever was.

You're just asking for her to be unbalanced in a different way than what she is right now.

The Spirit has a Skill gap but it's not in the same sense that Nurse and Huntress do.

Specifically, Nurse and Huntress's difficulty comes more from things like muscle memory and aiming. While obviously if you are brain dead you aren't going to be doing very good with them, it's far more about execution and getting the timing down for when and where specific actions work and how to execute the correct moves.

However the Spirit is different. The literal act of using her isn't mechanically difficult, hitting someone in phasewalk isn't THAT precise. However her difficulty is in having to be able to constantly predict the Survivors and get into their heads to know what path they will take possibly before even they do and manipulating them into coming to where you either are or where you will be. Once you have a read on them the execution itself is fairly straightforward and if they are being predictable like many Survivors are then even that part isn't too difficult.

But the real reason why Spirit can feel easier than Nurse or Huntress is because those skills I mentioned aren't solely applicable to the Spirit. Most multiplayer games have some form of prediction as a part of the gameplay and getting into someone elses head is a mindset that people do as part of other games and even though not to the same degree as other Killers in DBD such as Hag or Trapper (although the scale is different there). Knowing the blink ranges and timing isn't going to help you play Huntress and knowing windup times won't help you as Nurse. But knowing the optimal place to put a phantasm trap to catch someone off guard in a chase 2 minutes later WILL help you be a better Spirit even if you've never phase walked in your life. So if you've been playing Hag for 1k hours or even play other games that have nothing to do with DBD a lot then you will find yourself right at home with Spirit since the mindset and skills required are less exclusive than the skills required to blink or throw a hatchet. Meaning you aren't starting from scratch with Spirit while you mostly are with Nurse or Huntress (or Billy to a lesser extent).

I will admit though that Hag and Trapper are likely much harder than Spirit due to the difference between when you make the prediction and when the prediction needs to come true. Spirit needs to predict where you will be in 5 seconds while Trapper is predicting where you will be in 5 minutes. The fundamental skillset required is very similar but the Trapper's has more wrong answers.

Absolutely. I’ve played many killers and heard a survivor breathing next to me and I started a chase. Usually it’s a female. Meg and Feng tend to have the loudest breathing. I also love when I hear an immersed Blendette breathing.

@MegMain98 Unless you have Iron Will, there is 0 to little mindgame with her.... even the best survivor will have a hard time with her because it's mostly a guessing game.

I was surprised with how loud survivors sound when they are injured and how many people actually thought it wasn't loud enough. lol

Remove her from the game entirely. It's a handicap mode for killers just like fighting games. It should just be removed.

I tried playing her after complaining about her so much, now I believe that she is even more broken. It was so easy to get 4ks every match. If survivors don't have Iron Will, it's not even a challange.

I would definitely remove prayer beads and remove her collision with survivors while phasing.

The major issue here lies in people's differences to what is hard. Some people find spirit to be high skillcap and some of us don't because we are all different. Some of us can land every hex skill-check and some of us can't. Some of us can hear people without stridor very easily and some of us can't. Some of us can hear footsteps and some of us can't. Some of us can afford a headset and some of us can't. LOL, ya'll get the point.

I'ts very well known in the community that she is top tier with less of a skill-cap than most killers. If you don't see it than I don't know what to tell ya. It's the reason why she is picked so much in every rank of play.
