Trickster is genuinely one of the most fun killers.

Survivor Side: It's kind of intense when you start seeing the knives flying at you at such a high volume, the music also adds to the intensity. There are also "Oh Shiet" moments when he appears around the corner and he just machineguns you.

Killer Side: It's really funny to see survivors try to zig-zag a lot trying to avoid your knives, other than that he doesn't punish you badly for missing since you have the other 59 knives. Oh, Main Event against a group of survivors is just satisfying.

Changes that could make Trickster better: Maybe greatly increase his fire rate during Main Event, remove recoil and make Main Event not drain any ammo.

    Actually I think there’s a more simple way to buff him.

    Either do:

    • Increase his carried knives from 60 to 80
    • Increase his movespeed to 4.6m/s
    • Survivors no longer get speed boosted when injured by throwing knives.

    It doesn’t have to be all of them at once, just tweak 1 of these and I think he’ll improve.

    Or if they reduce the number of knife hits needed to change health state, like from 8 to 5. Either way, I feel devs will buff him slightly one way or another before release.

    I honestly can’t wait to play as him and I’ve got a PS5 coming tomorrow so I’ll actually be able to enjoy this chapter with smooth frame rates lol.

    Have you listened to the full version of his chase music? It’s so creepy. Especially when you hear the synthesised screams of his victims.

    I say down to 6, 5 might be a little too strong considering he basically doesn't care if he misses, you got 50 other knives. Also considering there's no "recovery" period if he misses, unlike deathslinger or huntress.
