Infectious Fright and Starstruck..!

I was using The Trickster last night. He didn’t have perks at first so I was having a hard time. Then Infectious Fright appeared on the wheel... Once I learned that I finally started to have a lot a fun with him using this combo. You think because of his smaller TR that this wouldn’t work well, but it actually does. Having a larger TR simply makes it more powerful. IF makes anyone in your TR scream whenever you down someone. That’s the Green Light for an immediate pick up to trigger the Exposed effect. If no one screams simply carry them to where you THINK a survivor would be, like a generator, to expose them anyway. You can even slug people, and wait for the pickup to trigger IF for SS. You can even leave them downed until the cooldown is over if you think they have DS. It lasts 30 seconds. So it makes saving and body blocking riskier. Causing survivors to leave the person on the hook longer than they normally would. This is incredibly good in the basement when all the survivors dive in for the rescue. If you can hook someone before they all get out they’ll be exposed. If you don’t/can’t hit them in time throw knives to trigger Main Event before they all leave. I added ToT to him because whenever I slug/hook people ToT removes his TR. So I’ll hook them on a gen, activate ToT, and perimeter camp all day as BT is inactive until someone touches the yellow generator. Usually by that time Starstruck is back. Maximum toxicity. His last move is now baby Agitation. Although I want STBFL on him. *sobs*

If you want to be toxic and make people mad play The Trickster. Lore wise this also makes sense. Because in the story the lore was about how he made his victims cry and scream as he hit them.
