The Trickster should get buffed

DrFrozen · April 2021

The latest killer is very fun to play, but it's the weakest killer in the game. His power is miles worse than the Huntress'. In my opinion, Trickster's move speed should be increased to 4.6 [ 115% ] or 4.5 [ 112.5% ]. Also, while holding knife, he's move speed should be increased to 3.85 or 96.25% [ the same move speed has the Nurse ] and during main event, this move speed is increased to 4.05 m/s or 101.25%. He has also addons that increase his movement speed while holding a knife. That common addon should increase that move speed by 3.75% up to 4.0 and the uncommon should increase by 5% up to 4.05 m/s.

What do you think about this killer ? Does he need buffs or not ? Let me know in the comments!

Love you all!

I guess everyone can agree that trickster needs some buffs to be viable. You can say that I beat a particular team with trickster but if you think about it, you will realize that you would have beaten the same team much more conveniently with another killer like deathslinger for example.

Yeah, I think he should be just 4.6 killer and that would be okay. Some loops make using your ability very difficult, so you are just weaker killer.

For the love God I hope they remove or massively turn down his recoil. I can't aim with a controller, but with m&k I'm not fighting the controls as bad.

That slow down idea is really good. When you think about this, that survivor is about 1% or 1.25% slower for each blade you hit, this killer would easly catch up and he does not need additional base move speed. Ofc during main event, he should be faster than survivor, maybe 105% like the Nurse with Matchbox.

He need more than that

Making him a 115% speed killer.
Tap M2 should throw 1 blade, hold it throw more.... had to press M1 again feels akward.
Blades Ricochet in the environment once basekit.

Main Event stay able to activate by pressing Control forever (like the Oni Demon Fury).
- When fully charged, the killer and the survivors will hear a sound warning (like with the Oni, Plague, Myers fully charged powers)
  - Maybe adding an animation of him making a cool pose with scenario lights pointing on him while activating as a negative effect of being able to choose when to use it????
During the Main Event:
- Be able to Aim & throw infinite blades with rate significantly increased at fully 115% speed, but not forced to... so you can pick up survivors and open lockers.
- Terror Ratius tremendusly increased.
- Survivors inside the Terror Ratius trigger Killer Instinct.

Blade-damage (Laceration) should stay until the survivor makes a new healing interaction (like Mending/Snap of madness/Wake up/etc...).
- Do objectives (repairing/healing others/making bones/etc.) while affected by the blade-damage increase it and even down yourself.
- Addons who affect the decay delay will increase the time takes to do that healing interaction for each blade hit. (like the mending Deathslinger/Legion addons).
  - addons who affect the decay delay out of blades increase the self-increased blade-damage while doing objectives.

y'know, these changes are good, but I do think he should slow down while using his ability to Nurse's movement speed and it should be increased to 105% during main event. When he's 115% in main event, it would be too OP, you don't wanna play against old Nurse, right ?
