Nurse Aura Predator
Nurse-specific build that capitalizes on her mobility to chain chases and constantly be where Survivors aren't.
The build
These four perks work together as a nurse killer setup. Each slot has a job; together they form a closed loop.
Barbecue & Chili
Bubba SawyerScourge Hook: Pain Resonance
Bubba SawyerHex: Undying
Talbot GrimesWhy it works
Nurse's Blink lets her cross the map in seconds - Lethal Pursuer tells her exactly where Survivors are at the start. Barbecue & Chili reveals auras of Survivors far from the hook, letting her pick the next target instantly. Scourge Hook: Pain Regression adds slowdown for every hook on a Scourge Hook, and the Scourge Hooks spawn at the start of the trial. Hex: Undying protects a smaller hex or acts as a fifth slowdown. The build assumes the player can chain Blinks; without Nurse skill, it falls apart. With skill, the info + mobility combo makes Survivors constantly feel hunted.

Patch notes
Targeted at patch 10.0.0 (released 16 June 2026). The Slasher (Jason Voorhees) and his three launch perks appear in this build. We refresh this page after every major balance patch - if a perk has been nerfed or buffed since 10.0.0, the "Why it works" section is the first place we update.
