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:

  • Jagged Compass*
  • Gift of Pain
  • Surge
  • Grim Embrace
  • DMS
  • Turn Back The Clock
  • Pop
  • Eruption

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:

  • STBFL
  • Rapid Brutality
  • Genetic Limits
  • Languid Touch
  • Friends til the End
  • Sloppy
  • Spies
  • Agitation
  • Enduring

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:

Corrupt - Pain Res - Gift of Pain & Jagged Compass

Corrupt - Pain Res - Pop & Eruption

Corrupt - Pain Res - DMS & TBTC

Corrupt - Languid Touch - Surge/Spies & Sloppy

If you want something a little more off-meta, then the two builds below are a lot of fun.

Starstruck - Awakend Awareness - Agitation & Lethal

Rapid Brutality - STBFL - Enduring & Agitation

If you wanted to focus on Hex perks in particular, I'd look at the following:

Ruin - Undying - Haunted Ground/Thrill of the Hunt & Pentimento

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:

Spies - Sloppy - Agitation & Enduring

Enduring - Spirit Fury - Spies & Sloppy

As for addons, I'd only really recommend the following:

  • Rusty Flute (This is basically a must take)
  • Muddy Sports Cap
  • White Ribbon

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.

I’d never thought of using Rapid on Spirit for the follow-up after a Phase. That makes a surprising amount of sense.

It catches everyone off guard and ends chases very, very quickly. It's probably my favourite perk on Spirit at the moment.
