Nurse and Billy easily.
If we disregard those two then it is Spirit and Hag. Hag with Mint Rag/Rusty Shackles combo with Make Your Choice is brutal. Spirit’s mindgame potential is amazing, all of her add-ons are great as well.
Huntress and Myers are not too far off either

Huntress Daily
AutohavenI HATE Autohaven as ANY killer honestly. Those tires and large trucks screw me over and it just seems those maps are VERY survivor sided. I love any Macmillian though, give me Ironworks and Coal Tower any day.

If I get saddled with a "Kill a survivor by your hands" ritual and I can't be bothered to try I will tunnel the obsessions and literally devote the game to killing them via Rancor.I reroll these dailies because it's really crappy to be on the receiving end of an early mori.
I only keep the “Kill By Your Hands” if I have plenty of moris on that specific killer. Usually I’ll just use an Ivory. The 60000 BP are nice.

I have a long list of cosmetics that I have but I have all of Kate’s and Spirit’s. Those are the only two I have all cosmetics for.

No way. Ruin is a meta perk because it slows down the ONLY thing survivors need to do to escape. Generators get popped like hot cakes without Ruin.
Bad killers run NOED and bad survivors run DS 🤷🏼♀️

I only played survivor for the first four months of playing the game. I started a little bit after the release of The Saw Chapter. Things I thought...
Meg was the runner and was the fastest character so I chose her to start with
Laurie had the best survivability due to her being the “final girl” trope
I had NO idea to crouch over the Hag’s traps or that flashlights destroyed them
This one is so nooby but everytime the killer would always be able to follow me step for step I thought they were just a genius because I didn’t know what scratch marks were.
I even blew up gens everytime my first game because I thought L1 was L2
I didn’t even know what Adrenaline did for the first month, I just knew I went faster when the gates were powered so I thought all characters went faster when the gates opened.
I always played F13 The Game before this and I was REALLY good at that game. I was thinking about things like stamina and speed. Playing that game really helped a lot with this and didn’t make me too entirely terrible

@powerbats I play on ps4 so take what I say with a grain of salt. I've never really encountered more than 1-2 amazing huntresses. Most are just meh.I also play on PS4 and I used to say the same thing about Nurse. I only saw a few good ones then one day BOOM! They all popped out and I saw nothing but great Nurse players. Same goes with Huntress. Just like Nurse...The Huntress is a lot better on PC so you won’t see as many great ones, but I can tell you that I’ve seen some that know exactly how to aim and snipe across the map.

Doctors not bad but hes not any where near top tier. He has the ability to help track, some ability to waste time with madness III and the big thing if you can use your shock therapy correctly you can prevent access to window's and pallets to secure hits. However the zappy boy requires the right timing of his shocks and flow into punishment mode to make real use of his stun and experience to time it right. The doc isn't bad, he has a higher skill cap then a lot and the reward for mastering him won't get the same reward as nurse billy or even Myers. However hes still around mid to low Mid tier.Doctor is the best at tracking, but other than that I don’t see how he is great at red rank. I mean a single perk (Calm Spirit) pretty much negates any tracking he has with survivors. A four man SWF will destroy Doctor easily. His shock can help at pallet loops but it’s very minimal and the survivors will probably just run to another pallet while Doctor stands there like an idiot trying to switch over and over again through treatment and punishment mode.
I just don’t care for his power. As you said, the reward for mastering him is pretty low. I do love his lore and cosmetics though, but gameplay wise? Nah...there are much better killers.
-
Tier list based off of the killers most powerful add-ons and how viable they are in red ranks.
- Nurse
- Billy
- Spirit
- Huntress
- Myers
- Hag
- Clown
- Wraith
- Pig
- Legion
- Doctor
- Trapper
- Leatherface
- Freddy
Doctor is the most overrated killer. What’s so special about him? Everytime I go against a Doctor, he gets easily demolished by survivors.
Top three are easily Nurse, Billy, and Spirit.
-
Despite her movement speed, she counters looping and can mindgame survivors. I can’t tell you how many times I seen a survivor healing by a pallet in the corner of my eye with Nurses Calling, I stop and look the opposite direction, phase over to them and down them. She can easily down survivors or grab survivors if they are within her terror radius and they don’t pay attention.
She is highly regarded as the third best killer because she has map pressure and a viable power that counters looping if you cam predict survivors movements. She’s not quite as good as Nurse but she’s certainly on par with Billy. It is a rare occurence if I get under a 3K with Spirit at Rank 1. If you learn how to play her you won’t regret it.
-
I want to believe that they can add the shark from Jaws.
More likely to get land sharks from dungeons and dragons. With the barren land with no water or rain hard to add any aquatic life. Hopefully can get huntress wearing a killed jaws pelt on her.
I’d love to see so many animal heads on Huntress. I never thought of a shark but that would be sweet. I was thinking of a Siberian Tiger head for Huntress in the near future

Spirit is 100x better imho.I like Spirit better than Nurse as well. I’d honestly put her at #2 or #3 killer alongside Billy. She is undoubtably a great killer with amazing potential, but she’s not as good as Nurse.
This is quote for quote what @thesuicidefox said on my “Spirit vs Nurse” post and I thought it was fitting
“Nurse is all about mechanical skills. Spirit is all about mind games. It's a lot easier to have high mechanical skill as that can be learned with experience. It is a lot harder to have strong mind games because that requires creativity and a deep understanding of player behavior.
Nurse is ultimately more powerful than Spirit, but Spirit is harder to master. Both are equally devastating once mastered though.”
-
I’d replace Tapp with Laurie honestly. In their respective movies, Laurie survives her chases more often than not (only died in one movie out of the MANY she was in) while Tapp died pretty early on in his one movie.
-
Tell that to all the Rank 1 Nurses who have dominated rounds. It’s not impossible to play either of them but I’ve seen very good Nurse and Huntress players on PS4. Just a lot harder, Huntress is much more manageable though.
-
Nurse is OP in the right hands. A normal player just picking up Nurse for a couple of rounds will most likely get 0-1K because they don’t know the mechanics of Nurse. A player who has worked at Nurse and excelled in knowing her blinks and how far to blink is going to dominate. The only chance ANY player has is waiting for their team to die and to find the hatch. Any of the top tier killers (Nurse, Billy, Spirit) will usually always get all four players or one will escape via the hatch if the player is very good with them. Not saying we don’t all have potato rounds or maps we don’t do good on but a really good top tier killer main will do really great in any match.
Nurse isn’t OP in an average players hands but if somebody knows how to use Nurse then she is SUPER powerful, there is a reason she is regarded as the best killer in the game.

I have messages from non-friends off so if they are determined to shower me in salt, they have to send a friend request with a measage attached...and even then it's insta-block time.That’s the same way I have my PS4 messages set-up. Although it’s not usually when I am killer that I get messages, it’s normally my own teammates when I play survivor. One time this guy was mad because I left as soon as I opened the exit gate when I actually had something to do in my actual life so I was rushed. People just don’t think with their brains sometimes, they let their emotions get the best of them.
-
Freddy isn’t as horrible as people make him out to be, I like playing as Freddy...I just need to level him up and get better perks on him. However I do prestige my characters all the way to max prestige and Freddy isn’t a killer I’m itching to level up yet. He is mid tier on preference on killers.
Legion on the other hand needs a total rework. I don’t like play as them at ALL. I just hate their power, not very fun for me personally.

The Halloween trophies are dlc on ps4 and they don’t count.The “where did they all go?” trophy is by far the hardest though because you need 3 other teammates to stay alive and jump in with you...the high coordination is just way too much when everything else you only needed to rely on yourself.
The DLC content still have trophies attached to them...they just don’t count toward the platinum. Honestly I believe “Skilled Huntress” is harder than the “Evil Incarnate” trophy. Simply because on PC you only have to down survivor from farther than 24 meters 20 times, on PS4 you have to do it 100 times. That one is likely going to be one I never get.
The Huntress chapter was after release on PS4, so it did not count toward the platinum so it’s a separate trophy progression incase anybody was confused.
-
Hardest for me was “From The Void She Kills” where you have to chain blink at least three times and grab a survivor. Evil Incarnate which tombstoning all survivor was also a hard one, glad I was Rank 20 when I did that
-
It’s not always reliable as it has a direct counter with Calm Spirit. Not a lot of players use Calm Spirit but I’m just saying that Spies is not always 100% reliable. There are better tracking perks like BBQ, Surveillance, and Bitter Murmur.
-
Jeff is loud when he isn’t injured but when he is injured he isn’t any louder than any of the rest of them. Honestly Feng is the loudest when injured. I’ve been working on prestiging her and I’ve been playing her a lot and she gives her position away easily because she is SO LOUD. Feng, Meg, and Kate are the louder ones when injured. Dwight, Nea, and Jake are pretty quiet when injured.

The ones with zero chill.
Their goal is just to plow through the game as fast, and as ruthlessly as possible.Am I saying they should stop? Nope. Just saying it's boring to get mauled by a killer.
Still not as bad as slugging. If the killer wants to slug all four survivor then it is their choice, but just like a Nurse in fatigue; I don’t really wanna be admiring floor graphics while I more than likely bleed out.
Just like when they slug to get the last immersed survivor, they’re just wasting everyones time. Unless you’re going for an adept achievement, there is no need.

I don’t even like Legion cosmetic wise. They’re just your average stupid teenage rebels, nothing special about them.I hate myself for this, but it has to be done.
Oh The Trapper? He's just every other slasher killer. Nothing special about him. The Nurse? Pfft I'd just go to Silent Hill, the Nurse isn't anything special. The Clown? So what? We got Pennywise to fear, clowns are overdone. What else? Oh. The Spirit is just a mutilated dead woman, I've seen so much of that in every other genre that I could hardly care.
The point is you can't say that anything in this game is 'Just your average [insert thing here]' because EVERYTHING in this game is taking something from somewhere. By your logic, you should (I'm not sure if you do) dislike every killer cosmetic wise. At least the Legion bring to the table four (Okay two, cause Joey and Susie don't have their own voices) different characters you can play. They are the most unique Cosmetic wise.. And before you say it, yes I am probably missing the point. But I'm tired right now and this is the best I can do while in this state.
@MegMain98 said:
I second this. Gameplay wise he is poorly designed and extremely annoying. There is quite literally no counterplay especially with Frank’s Mix Tape.There is a counterplay to him. I've done my fair share of defeating him. As with all the killers except for maybe the Nurse, the Legion gets punished by good survivors. Even I, who am not a good survivor, can run a Legion around for several gens without a scratch occasionally.
FMT just fixes what was a problem in the base kit of the Legion. Which is that his power is laughably weak, I say this despite being a generally successful Legion.
All the characters probably took inspiration or are based off of something. The Legion are just teenage rebels, it just doesn’t feel right seeing ANY of them (especially Susie and Julie) single handley demolishing a team with Tapp, David, Adam, and Jeff. Even if they are stronger in the Entity, it doesn’t feel right. My point is they just seem weak compared to the other killers. I just don’t like their look.
Nobody...I repeat, NOBODY is going to say FMT is a fair add-on. You don’t fix something that is wrong with a killer by making a broken add-on. Legion needs a complete rework. FMT makes the broken Legion even more broken.
There is no counterplay. Zero. Sure you can escape but if the Legion wants to make your round awful then they will. It’s stab, stab, fatigue, stab, fatigue, stab, hook, stay nearby the hook, stab, stab, tunnel, hook again...etc. This is just how I see a LOT of Legion players play them.
Running the killer around doesn’t equal counterplay. At least with a Nurse you can attempt to make her mindgame herself and predict wrong. Trapper? Easy, disarm his traps. Wraith? A flashlight will burn him. Myers? Break line of sight and stay far away from him in EW III. Doctor? Calm Spirit makes his power pretty useless. Hag? Flashlights and Urban Evasion. Legion? Nothing you can do but endure 28 stabs. Legion is just flat out broken and annoying especially with FMT.
I can’t really argue with somebody who is a Legion main.

BBQ not showing anyone was probably the reason he camped.
Funny how survivors complain at the same time about BBQs aura reading and camping.
BBQ is honestly super overrated. You can hide behind a generator and possibly blend in with it, hide in a locker, or simply be close to the killer. It’s not really that great except for bloodpoints. It just too counterable. It can throw off the killer causing them to stay by the hook while everybody is actually far away
It was never hard to hide from it. But continued nerfs on the aura reading defeat its purpose: leading the killer away from the hook.
Back when the generators were highlighted in a very pale red on the killers screen and lockers showed auras, it was harder to hide from it unless you were within the killers terror radius.
Now that the generators are a bright red which can easily hide an aura and lockers can no longer show auras, BBQ isn’t as valuable as it once was.
It wasn’t an intentional nerf to BBQ itself, the locker aura changes and the brightness of generators just made it not as great as it once was.
-
I play a good mix of all the girls (except Laurie). Meg and Claudette are the main two I play though.
-
May not seem like a lot but it adds up quickly. If you keep using a 100% BP offering in objectives and you usually do the gens, you’ll get 8000 extra points everytime, it will add up quickly. Using it 3 times and getting 8000 BP each round with grant you an extra 24000 BP.

I'm not sure if showing rank would actually be a good idea. I'd rather just have the SWF's lowest rank be the rank of the killer (so if you have a rank 2 and a rank 10, you're getting a rank 2). That seems like a fair change that wouldn't result in more dodging.Seems fair, if the queue times weren’t awful. When I play SWF on PS4 (which is rarely), we’ll sit in matchmaking for half an hour. I was Rank 2 and my friend was Rank 18...we ended up getting a Rank 10 because that was the best option. You won’t always get the highest rank because queue times are super long.

Killer points would go through the roof then and everyone would play killer causing the queue times to become 20 minutes long.Whats the problem with that?
Seems like the other way around is okwhy do you always have to be like that?
And no having 20 minute long killer queue times wouldn't be good as Hallowed Blight proved. They're increasing killer points now so that survivor queue times aren't as long.
I always love using arguments for the exact opposite
So its fine to have 20 min survivor queues, but on killer side its a nono?I’ve never had an issue getting survivors in my lobby as a killer. However I usually get pretty long wait times as a survivor even when playing solo.
The killer and survivor points earned during a match isn’t even THAT big of a gap. If killers got 12 points for vessels that would be an extreme amount of points. A perfect round would be 120 points. It would make nobody play survivor

Yeah either surveillance and overcharge or enduring+spirit fury are my go to two needed perks.

I’m trying to get all of my characters to P3 and so far I only have Meg, Claudette, Nea, and Spirit to P3. Myers and Feng are at P1. I’ve been playing for nearly a year but I didn’t like to prestige at first. Still need to get certain perks from the killers bloodweb as well
-
I always run Ruin on all of my killers, it is a must have for red ranks. I also run Nurses Calling on my low terror radius killers such as Myers, Hag, and Spirit.
-
If all five players in the round use Red Envelopes then the killer can get 84 points on destroying the vessels alone. If the killer hooks all survivors three times then they’d get 36 points. A perfect round for a killer would be 120 points while a survivors would only be 45. Not very fair, plus the queue time for survivor is super long already...at least it is for me and I play solo.
-
Every killer having an add-on that causes exhaustion? Yeah sure why not? They actually have to use their power. A perk though? No, it’s too easy. It makes their perk useless for the entire match unless they have Sprint Burst. The only time survivors usually use exhaustion perks is during a chase.

Worse/boring killer to go against for me is Freddy. I get that it's a excellent technique to keep everyone sleep so you know where they are, but when Freddy uses Nancy's Masterpiece to put you alseep at crazy ranges I want to DC every time (but I don't) because its a constant battle of wake up, sleep, wu, sl, wu, sl. Also Freddy's tend to tunnel as they are prone to obsession builds.I understand...we all have those killers we want to DC against. Everytime I see Legion or Freddy I have the urge to DC. Legion because they’re annoying to go against and Freddy for the exact reason you do. Although I don’t screw over my team by DC’ing. However I’m not completely clean because I have salty DC’ed before as I’m pretty sure we all have.

They're all rodeo clowns for survivors, except Nurse.What's your point OP ?
Except Billy, Hag/Spirit. The top tier killers are never rodeo clowns, they're dominant as hell.
I agree that these 3 are indeed top tier compared to the others.
But against an optimal survivor team, only Nurse stand a chance, and even there it's tedious.
Buffing the lower-tier to Billy's level would be a good start, indeed.
Not every killer will be nor needs to be on Nurse/Billy level. Tell me how exactly Freddy or Wraith will EVER be as powerful as those two? Their powers are just not as good as top tier killers. If they stand any chance of being buffed it needs to be their OWN power that gets the buff. Not a general killer buff. Nurse and Billy don’t need it, Freddy and Wraith do.
Sorry if I may have misunderstood you, but that is how I interpreted it.

Same. I’m on PS4 so I didn’t have a reason to fear Nurse players because usually they aren’t great even at red ranks. Let me tell you...more than HALF of my games last night were God tier Nurses. I appreciated it at first because it was a rarity but dying over and over and over again to the most powerful killer in the game just seemed cheap. There isn’t anything you can do to a Nurse but hope her prediction is wrong and mind-games herself.All you can do is hope you aren’t the first one caught because if you are, you’ll have to be good at surviving and hope your teammates aren’t potatoes and actually fix generators.
I wouldn't say it's cheap, if someone has practiced a lot to get good with Nurse. On console especially.
I play at rank 1 with Nurse on PS4 and i see survivors doing same mistakes over and over again. Then it's a very "cheap" victory for Nurse. For example, a survivor keep pallet looping the Nurse. Or a survivor try to "backtrack" the Nurse. Okay, it's much better way than pallet looping but still doing it every single time… Easy to predict. And you can see this kinda stuff at rank 1, i am a very disappointed (lol not really, i can't even myself survive against god Nurses).
Most boring killer to play against is the Legion. The hole game is just healing... And when Legion use thanatophobia and sloppy butcher and you don't even have self care, it's gg then
Understandable because it is SUPER hard to master Nurse on console, I’m trash at playing Nurse. I went against probably 8 Nurses last night and it was the same thing over and over again with a long chase and my teammates doing nothing. I can predict pretty well where a Nurse thinks I’m gonna go and go the opposite way so she mind games herself, but it only takes two mistakes on my part and I’m are downed and hooked. Just feels kinda cheap to die over and over again to THE BEST killer in the game. Just nothing you can do against a Nurse besides try to break line of sight and make her mind game herself.
I was just having a bad night due to the abundance and Billys and Nurses. I’d honestly rather go against a Nurse than Billy though, I HATE going against Billys.

Legion is the most boring and unfair killer to play against. Plain and simple. Good luck losing him. Good luck surviving the chase. Stab stab stab stab....More than likely they will have franks mixtape which in that case just brain dead. Playing as I would say clown or Micheal because clown will laugh in your face and Daddy Myers is just chilling.Since when are survivors actually trying to lose the killer during a chase? No, its just braindead runing in circles which is the reason why nurse is so strong
Some survivors actually DO try to lose a killer during a chase. I run Iron Will, Calm Spirit, Self Care, and Urban Evasion on my Claudette. If I go against a Doctor, his power is pretty much useless. I like to stealth a lot of the time and so do a lot of survivors.
By the way, Nurse is strong because her power makes pallets worthless and makes a lot of survivors defenses useless, she is unloopable. Not because survivors “run in circles”.
-
Both sides can be toxic, simple as that.
People argue that “killers aren’t supposed to make survivors games fun.” Well by that logic, survivors aren’t exactly supposed to make killers games fun either. It’s just sportsmanlike to leave the hook and find another survivor and not farm the person on the hook or simply escape when the chance arises instead of taunting the killer. Both sides aren’t entitled to make the opposing sides game fun but it’s just sportsmanlike to not make their game awful and be a complete douche.
You’ll run into salty killers and survivors. Killers that are mad they couldn’t kill the one Nea that was good at looping so they D/C when the exit gates are powered. Survivors that D/C when they are the first one found.

Doesn't Nurse have an Ultra Rare that shows where she'll Blink to?I think a powerful Ultra for the saw cousins should be one that makes the Chainsaw completely silent, while charging. You can hear it, but the Survivors can't so they won't know when you'll cut them down until it's too late.
It’s already a bug in the game where Leatherface will charge up his chainsaw and no sound cues are played. There is already add-ons to make the chainsaw a lot quieter. Nurse could use an ultra-rare add-on, she only has very rare add-ons.

Basically all the female survivors. Preferably Meg and Claudette.

All you gotta do is look up to avoid them, not hard to avoid at all. They are the same as the Winter Party Starters.

Trapper is a weak killer. He brings very little to a match besides maybe a good trap spot or two. Once survivors know it is a Trapper, they’ll be more cautious of were they run unless they are in a chase and you make them go the way you want them to go.
If you can play Trapper and constantly get a 4K, it doesn’t matter if he is a weak killer because you perform well with him. I constantly get a 4K with Freddy even though he is often regarded as the weakest killer.
-
I honestly don’t have a specific build for my killers. On Spirit I run Ruin, Nurses Calling, Deerstalker, and Bloodhound. Sometimes I switch on Bloodhound for something else. Laugh at me all you want for using Deerstalker but I’m boosted and I can never find a survivor on the ground again if they are wearing dark clothes.
-
I like to play both sides but I’ve been playing killer more recently for three reasons...
You typically get more bloodpoints
I only have myself to trust, I don’t have to put my faith in my teammates who mainly act like potatoes
It’s more variety than survivor. Survivors are just different skins while all the killers are unique.
I still like playing survivor better because I like being chased more than I do chasing. I’ve never been that great at being the killer. I’m way better at surviving than killing.

Nurse as intermediate but Legion as hard? No way. Legion has a brain-dead power that can be exploited by a broken add-on. All they do is stab at you 28 times. Nurse is mechanically difficult and takes muscle memory and skill.
If you think only Tru3 plays Legion correctly, you obviously haven’t seen Monto’s Legion videos. Although just because few people play them correctly doesn’t mean they are hard to master.

Hillbilly. Easy, effective, the go-to beginner killer. His chainsaw travels great distances, can be used to down inexperienced Survivors and even some experienced Survivors if caught in the open, it has priority over window vaults, it's ridiculous with BBQ & Chili, it can be used to force pallets against less skilled Survivors, he isn't DLC so you get him from the start, all and all he is the perfect killer if you want EZ and effective.Doctor is also easy, though not as effective. There isn't much interaction while using his power; you just hold it and it go bzzt and people go aaah.
As for hardest, Trapper, Nurse, Spirit, and Huntress all come to mind.
How is Trapper hard to master? Trapper is go-to first killer for most players, not Billy. All you do is set traps and hope survivors step in them. Other than that, he is just an M1 killer. Not that hard to master.
Trapper is definitely not good, but it takes a lot of predicting to play Trapper effectively. Though I'll admit I'm biased because Trapper is my baby boy. But if you "just set traps," that's probably why no one steps in them. You have to think about what you'll do later in a chase, how to corral them, where they'll go relevant to what generators are completed and how many pallets/windows are in an area, how easy it is to predict the trap will be there for the Survivor... a lot of variables people won't even ever consider because they're already given up on the killer.
Also Freddy is another underrated killer who is not as shallow as he seems. There is a deeper layer to the mindgames available during Sleep Transition (especially with but not limited to Pill Bottle.) He's also a normal speed, short, low terror radius killer so mindgames with pallets work fantastic with him. Also, you don't need to immediately chase someone you've slept. Hitting them grants access to healing skill check wake-ups; without those, an uncoordinated team may have to rely on hurting generators just to wake up. Making sure as many people are asleep as possible is your most valid strategy. Freddy is all about slowing the game, not chasing that one guy you just slept and leaving the others to do whatever. Which is also why Class Photo is a little bit underrated.
I’ve never been a fan of Trapper. The first killer I started playing was Myers simply because I love the Halloween movies. Trapper is mid to low tier at best. I do understand what you mean by the predicting where survivors are going by placing your traps in certain spots. Example: if it is Strode house you should ALWAYS trap the two windows by on the roof of the Myers house, it makes them unusable. I just don’t think Trapper is as hard to master as Nurse and Spirit, even Huntress.
Freddy on the hand, I dunno why but whenever I play as him or against him he seems SUPER FAST. Chases always end quickly whenever I play as Freddy. Class Photo is great if you want to put everybody to sleep ASAP and Pill Bottle is great if you want to end chases quickly.

You have to be good a predicting where survivors are going. She is pretty similar to Nurse in that regard. It’s all in mind games, if you do not have to use her ability then don’t use it. You can easily throw off survivors just by standing still and watching where they move, they’ll think you are phase walking and sometimes even go into your direction.
Scratch marks can be wonky and mislead you, it’s done it to me countless times. Use sounds to your advantage. A lot of times if I hear a survivors footsteps while I’m phasing, I immediately stop because you’re probably pretty close to them.
Good perks to use are Ruin, Make Your Choice, BBQ, Enduring, Spirit Fury, Stridor, and Nurses Calling. Any of those will be extremely helpful. Can’t tell you how many times a survivor was healing nearby me and I phased right to them and downed them. They cannot hear you phasing if they are within your terror radius.
It takes time and patience to master her but she is a bit easier than Nurse or Huntress.
