Throughout the years, the Nurse in Dead By Daylight has expanded its roster of killers more and more. Whether it’s the oppressive use of tentacles and zombies in The Nemesis, the crows in The Artist, or the clever use of TVs in The Onryo, it’s undeniable that each time there are different mechanics for the killers. But so far, no matter which killers, perks, survivors, or even maps appear, one thing remains permanent. The nurse in Dead By Deadlight is and will remain the strongest killer in the game.
With or without perks, using the Nurse in Dead By Daylight translates into overkill. This is the only killer that has no counterplay. She is comfortable on all maps and no perk can stop her. But there’s a reason why Behaviour hasn’t nerfed her yet and doesn’t plan to. She’s the most difficult killer to use. As in the hands of a good player, The Nurse in Dead By Daylight is a killing machine, in inexperienced hands. She is the weakest killer in the game. This makes many players unwilling to learn how to use her, as they will be humiliated. Therefore, we will bring you a guide and the best build for the Nurse in Dead By Daylight. Although we do not promise that you will get 4 kills from the first game, it will surely be a great help.

The Nurse’s Power: Spencer’s Last Breath
This ability is basically what makes the nurse the most dangerous killer in the game. When cast, the nurse will charge her power, and when the player releases it. She will be transported in the direction she is facing. The longer the power is held, the farther she will go. After transporting, the nurse has a few seconds. She will decide whether to attack or she can make another small blink. After the second blink, the nurse can attack.
In case the nurse lets a few seconds pass after the first or second blink or decides to attack, she will enter into fatigue mode, so she will not be able to do anything for a few seconds. In the meantime, she will gradually recover her power and will be able to cast it again.
Some tips for using The Nurse
The Nurse in Dead By Daylight is the slowest killer in the game, so chasing enemies on foot (or floating) should never be an option. The nurse has two blinks, take advantage of them! Don’t try to be ambitious and use the first blink to attack the survivors, this should be to get close to them. The second blink, which travels a much shorter path, should be calculated to put you next to them and thus, down or wound them.
Don’t hesitate to use your power every time you want, whether to walk, attack survivors, or even ignore pallets. The more you use your power, the more you will get used to its range.
Builds for The Nurse
The best build for Nurse
Whether you are just learning to use her or you already play very well with her, this is one of the best builds for the nurse.
At the start of the game, you will be able to apply pressure immediately thanks to Lethal Pursuer. To make the survivors’ situation even worse, those who manage to escape from you will not know where to go. As Corrupt Intervention will be in play. While the game progresses, the survivors will not be able to make generators. Since your constant pressure and presence on the map will cause them to constantly escape, so Hex: Ruin will take effect. If at some point you manage to eliminate Ruin, not everything is lost! You still have Pop Goes the Weasel.
Free build for Nurse
As the difficulty of the nurse lies more in using her than in managing her perks, unlike other killers we recommend you to go with her best build right away. This build is made for both players who are learning to use her and for more novice players. In case you don’t have all these perks yet and want to make the nurse your first killer, we have a special build of free perks.
In this list, we have very useful perks that will give you some insight and help you control the game. Sloppy Butcher will make the survivors take longer to heal, you can combine it with Nurse’s Calling which even though it is not a free perk if you are using the nurse we assume you have it. When the survivors are too scared to heal, you can slow down the game with Thanatophobia and if you have trouble getting in range of Nurse’s Calling, Whispers is an excellent choice to go with these perks.
Vision Nurse Build (Only Nurse veterans)
You should use this build only if you are extremely confident in her. If you already consider that you have mastered her and you think you can finish off the survivors very quickly, this build is excellent.
First, you will start by applying enormous pressure with Lethal Pursuer. When the hooks start, Barbecue and Chilli will allow you to generate more pressure and keep staking your Hex: Devour Hope. When the survivors realize that you have Devour, their only option to stay in the game is to go clean your totem pole. And, that’s when they will encounter Hex: Retribution, which will reveal their positions for 10 seconds. If you think you can take advantage of all this vision. Then, you will surely eliminate the survivors in a few minutes.
Best Add-ons for The Nurse
Torn Bookmark
Its negative effect of increasing the nurse’s fatigue by 30% is very big, we know. But the fact that the nurse has the third blink is absolutely broken. In the right hands, this add-on makes the nurse ridiculously dangerous.
Kavanagh’s Last Breath
Another add-on that makes the nurse even more powerful. As if three blinks weren’t enough, this add-on will give the nurse an extra six meters of maximum range in exchange for a charge that lasts 30% longer. It may be a bit risky, but those extra meters will be felt and felt a lot.
Best map for The Nurse
As mentioned before, there is no map where the nurse is weak, but there is definitely somewhere she is even stronger.
Among all the maps, Midwich is definitely the one that favors her the most. This map is tiny, the only small advantage for the survivors is that it has two floors. So, the killer will have to climb stairs if they are on the top floor. This one glimmer of hope that the survivors have in this map that clearly favors the killers is eliminated if they face the nurse. She can not only transport between floors and ignore stairs, but she can also walk through walls, which makes it more complicated than ever for survivors who get trapped in the school of Silent Hill.
