Trickster Difficulty Rating In Game.

Now I know this doesn't make much of a difference in terms of when it comes to experienced players, but newer players may see the Easy difficulty rating, start playing Trickster, and realize he isn't as "Easy" as the game makes him out to be. With a power that has recoil, travel time, and blades that are thrown out of both hands (causing spread) he is actually mechanically more difficult than Huntress. Not to mention the screen shake that he has when he throws his blades, which throws me off ALOT!

Considering all of these factors, I would say Trickster needs to be moved up to at least intermediate, to make sure the difficulty rating isn't misleading newer players into thinking he is as easy to play as someone like Legion for example (Which for some reason has a higher skill rating than him).

Anyway what do you all think, is it justified to keep Trickster rated as Easy, or do you think he deserves to be bumped up a notch in the Difficulty rating.

EDIT - I chose intermediate, but honestly he requires so much skill, he is Hard tbh.

    Requires to much of an advance playstyle, in high tiles.

    Can we add a 4th difficulty rating just for him - Miserable

    There should be an option that says

    "IMPOSSIBLE"

    Hard (Why?)

    I chose hard for a number of reasons (comparing to his counterpart and similar playstyle, huntress).

    Blade Aim: It's not huntress, so you have to be consistent with your blade hits as there is no wind up time.

    Blade Management: It's easy to lose track how many blades you use mid chase.

    Main event usage: It's extremely difficult to use main event effectively, especially at high ranks.

    Starstruck: Cool to equip, hard to use practically.

    No way out: Super situational

    Crowd Control: Hex perk, need I say more?


    In the end, this killer is NOT easy, not even in the slightest. The huntress should be set to easy difficulty for how straightfoward her playstyle is.

    And if you are (like me) he is VERY rewarding and fun!

    Easy (Why?)

    I think he is easy, but it requires a high energy playstyle. When I'm tired I am awful with him, whereas if I'm tired playing Freddy or GF I do just fine. If you play hyper-aggressive with him he is very obnoxious if not strong. And when I play him this way I have "easy" 3 and 4 K's.

    The amount of hitbox knowledge it takes to master him is pretty high. Like Huntress and Slinger, he's a easy to pick up hard to master.

    cause aiming basically he has to land 16 knives on a person to down them and to do that in a relatively short amount of time is relatively hard compared to most killers.
