Meta nurse build recommendations

[Wintermute]

I am kinda tired of playing with m1 killers, especially considering how strong the survivors are. How does a meta nurse build look like nowadays?

Shadowborn helps her tremendously, especially because her chase music is loud af. She also benefits more from detection perks than slowdown.

I typically run: Shadowborn, Lethal Pursuer, Nowhere to hide, I'm all ears. Once you get good at blinking you'll be able to close the distant VERY fast.

Also a tip for nowhere to hide + lethal, you can kick a gen then blink somewhere else and get value from the perk. It's tied to 24m of you not the generator. Every gen kick you have 7 seconds of aura reading within 24 meters. With nurse, that's crazy good.

Feel free to switch out I'm All Ears for corrupt or a gen slowdown while you're learning.

lethal pursuer and bbq core, take sloppy and nurse's calling or something like discordance if you wanna be a menace, take deadlock and no way out if you wanna extend the torture. The meta for nurse also includes slugging as much as possible to secure your position in hell. I don't know about addons because I hate them, not that I play nurse anyway

Just as a heads up, if you haven't been playing nurse, you're not going be "getting your revenge" with her any time soon.

Thanks for the answers, I appreciate it!

I don't have any strong feelings towards survivors haha, sorry if the post gave that impression. I understand that picking the nurse itself isn't going to win matches, thank you for the heads up nevertheless

Btw I said sloppy but I was just done with my workout so my brain wasn't braining, forget about that. Tinkerer is another cool perk you can use. You just need stuff to find people with nurse honestly, no need to bother with gens except for naturally delaying perks like deadlock as I mentioned

[AsianGirlLover]

In the right hands, she needs absolutely no slowdown nor regression.

I highly recommend Lethal, Floods of Rage, Nowhere to Hide, & BBQ

For a new Nurse that’s still learning, a decent build is A Nurse’s Calling, Bitter Murmur, Shadowborn, & Stridor/Agitation/Hex: Ruin

When you’re new and don’t have too many perks, those are all decent and free to get. Stridor and Shadowborn can become addicting to use, though, so try not to get too reliant on them as you grow and try out different builds.

Sloppy Butcherer doesn't work on blink attacks.

Agitation/PGTW/Eruption/Pain Res for perks, Campbell and Heavy Panting for addons. I can't recommend aura perks while Distortion is so popular, but switching out Agitation or Eruption for Tremors can potentially get you very good info.

Distortion is definitely an issue, BUT if you snowball quickly with her, they’ll often run out of tokens faster than they can reclaim them.

But your build is definitely great as well.

Thing is, Distortion recharges very fast, even during chase while they're out of sight. I think swapping a perk or two on aura is fine, but a whole build around aura will still not eat charges fast enough.
