Dead By Daylight Spirit Nerf Changes Explained

Recently, the developers announced that upcoming changes in the game as part of the Mid-Season Developer Update. Before releasing any major update, the developers release a developer update to give fans an idea about what to expect in the near future.

Quite notable of all in the Mid-Developer Update were the changes made to the Spirit, one of the favorite Killers in the game. The community has been divided about the Spirit nerf in the past, with many demanding it while others opposing it. Here are the changes that have been made to the Spirit in Dead by Daylight

Any Survivor within 24m of The Spirit will now hear a directional phase sound. This lets you know whether or not she is phasing and also gives you a rough idea of which direction she’s coming from.

The Spirit’s footsteps will now kick up dust while she is phasing. Keen Survivors may be able to pinpoint where she is, but tall grass and other obstacles may make it difficult.

While there have been some buffs as well to balance the nerfs, overall, players do have better counters to the Spirit now. The add-ons that have been buffed are Wakizashi Saya and Senko Hanabi. This has once again sparked a debate in the community, with players having mixed opinions about the changes. It will be interesting to see when these updates go live in the game, and whether there will be more tweaks before the final release.
