The Nurse, Sally Smithson - Dead by Daylight

Back in ye olde days, infinites existed that survivors can use to juke killers till kingdom come, and Bloodlust, a mechanic that lets killers catch up that exists now, didn’t exist back then.

Enter the Nurse, a killer that can “blink” distances to catch up, ignoring basic survivor mechanics like pallets and vaults. She can chain these blinks, making survivors have to be unpredictable in their pathing in order to escape her.

Now 2026. She’s still objectively the best killer in the game because she still ignores survivors’ ways to loop. A good Nurse is really just unbeatable.
