Adept Trickster

It's kind of a ritual at this point. I usually abstain from giving my piece on a killer until I get their adept, then I go into it. I've been away for a bit and I did this at yellow ranks with a yellow iri iri iri. So this is not a Rank 1 elimination run like I usually do. That out of the way...

It took me 3 games. I used a grand total of 150 knives I think. Every time I slowed my killer down to throw a knife I just felt in the back of my head "just walk up and hit them". So I did. (Also emblems with killer abilities and one shots can make it wonky. As you can tell from my Devious score this match was just pure batting people. Kind of tricky (HA!) considering his movement speed.

One thing I learned is this is not a machine gun killer. You tap the button. He's too inaccurate otherwise UNLESS you're in showstopper, then you can just hold down the button. So that's the big secret there.

Starstruck was kinda funny against flashlight saves for obvious reasons, but I feel like his perks are better on other killers than himself. I'll be playing him more down the line but he's got personality. I like the design but I really think he should be 115% or more accurate with his knives. Give me a reason to use them.

    Yes, the best way to get his adept is to not use his power. On a 110% killer. That's a sad frigging statement but it's the truth.

    I used to tap his knives for accuracy. It's better on long distance, but survivor can easily dodge it there. On shorter distance I prefer hold button, because rapid fire has speed up after several throws and it's harder to dodge.

    Sometimes you can perform melee hatchet tech with trickster because there is very short cooldown after aiming mode. So if you injure survivor with knives on close range you just finish him with main weapon. It's not as frequent as huntresses meelee hatchets, because while you shooting survivor, he can often make it to the window or pallet.

    Guys his chaser emblem was fixed. You don't need to play a 110% ms m1 killer to get his adept.

    It's actually a bit overtuned now. It is practicly impossible to not get iri chaser right now even if you never m1. Since the change I've had only two times i had gold chaser and that was with his addon that exposed people and his other iri addon that bassicly just sucks.

    Trickster is one of the easier adept to get in this game right now. Just one survivor squad that's a bit slacking on gens and you have it

    Ty guys. I had a feeling there was still more to learn about this killer. Now that I can use other perks I have a feeling the generators are going to slow down a little.

    You have to use the power but like plague you should learn when to use it and.when not.to use it
