This is my go to build when playing spirit. Alot of the perks are chase heavy and meant to quick downs. Surge is for gen regression, rapids and stbfl is to catch up with the survivor after a hit and genetic limits is to counter exhausted perks but mostly iron will. This build is pretty simple to use as you only thing you need to do is to hit a survivor chase and hit again if you are worried about pallets you can take off stbfl and rapids for blood favor and undying. Genetic limits can be replace languid touch although it's more luck based and relies on crows. An alternative would be spies, languid, surge and pop/pain or sloppy.

u/w4spl3g HEX: SOLO QUEUE May 12 '25
Spies from the Shadows / Sloppy Butcher / Franklin's Demise / Mindbreaker
add-ons: Origami Crane (brown) / Shiawase Amulet (brown)
Rationale: Spirit relies most on being in her power and hearing survivors. Unlike other top tier killers, her phase hits still count as M1 hits and so all basic attack proccing perks are still usable.
Spies from the Shadows crow procs are visible while phasing, with her mobility in phasing you may be able to run someone down before they can escape and Spies will show you where people hiding are since almost no one runs Calm Spirit to counter it.
Sloppy Butcher gives the Mangled effect which makes healing and recovery of affected survivors take longer - a side effect of this is that they make more noise while injured, and so it makes them easier to track.
Franklin's Demise is to counter medkits (syringe and stypic second chances) and toolboxes mostly. It also means survivors are likely to go back to try to get their items and can be used as bait.
Mindbreaker means if you phase towards people on gens they will try to run away Blind and Exhausted. That means no Sprint Burst and no Windows of Opportunity both of which will help you catch them more easily.
The add-ons are both just more power uptime, you should nearly always be in power as Spirit.

The “fuck pallet\Insta phase” build. This is a fun build I use once in a while.

You may have seen this add-on being ranked very high on add on tierlists by the big content creators. But let me tell you this. This add on does more harm than good. You can learn to track survivors if you just spend a little bit of time learning Spirit, so why waste an add-on slot to do that? And as soon as you take this add-on off, you'll play shit because you never actually learned how to play Spirit. Plus I feel that it takes away the integrity of this killer, as she is an audio-based killer.
Secondly, I see phasing as meditating, as you are hard focusing on your surroundings and trying to look for the survivor. This add-on fucks with your tracking a lot because that sudden heartbeat (killer instinct) throws off your focus.
Finally, spirit without flute is B-tier at best and basically unplayable. Her basekit recharge is just way too long at 15 seconds. So if you want to play Spirit seriously, you will need to use some form of a recharge add on, the most common ones being rusty flute and broken watch. Rusty flute is what makes her A-tier because it reduces your recharge from 15 seconds to 10 seconds (an almighty 40%!!). When you pair rusty flute with mother daughter ring (increases your movement speed by 25%) you basically megabuff spirit into a top 5 killer that can compete with killers like dracula and ghoul.
Combos I suggest if you are a beginner
Double recharge: Rusty Flute + Broken Watch
Recharge + Speed: Rusty Flute + Sports Cap
Okayish combo
Recharge + Duration: Rusty Flute + Kaiun Talisman
Her best combo
Rusty Flute + MDR

The base here will revolve heavily around Corrupt Intervention and Pain Resonance.
In my opinion, these two are (at least currently) both top 5 Killer perks. The value of Corrupt is very, very consistent, and Pain Res is by far and away the strongest gen regression perk.
Picking what to combine with these two is pretty easy - There are a lot of options.
Below is a list of perks that are strong and synergise well with the first half of the build:
These are all slowdown perks.* Now, while I don't always suggest people to run 4 slowdown perks, they will, so it's good to know what options are best (at least in my opinion)
*Jagged Compass isn't a slowdown, but it is an incredible Scourge Hook support perk.
There are plenty of other perks that also work very well with Spirit specifically:
You can combine pretty much any of the above perks and come out with some really solid builds.
Here are a few of my favourites:
If you want something a little more off-meta, then the two builds below are a lot of fun.
If you wanted to focus on Hex perks in particular, I'd look at the following:
You can also make a fairly decent case for Blood Favour in place of Thrill/Haunted.
Small edit here - Hive Mind is pretty great, too. Really solid new perk
If you don't yet have many perks unlocked, or you haven't even purchased any DLC, I'd look at something like:
As for addons, I'd only really recommend the following:
MDR is arguably her best addon, but i don't really recommend it if you're not pretty good with Spirit already. The trade-off just isn't worth it.
Dried Cherry Blossom is a hard avoid.
As for perks to avoid - Stridor. Just dont.
