Killers- How do you play Trickster?
So in the beginning he was bad. Then I learned him and I started winning games. Now further down the line I find myself just M1-ing all the time and only using his power very situationally. Most survivors I stumble upon are good loopers and if they loop around high walls it's impossible to hit them with enough knives. What's your strategy?

Limit your traveled distance, try to avoid the corners of the map, if you dont need to go there. Let gens far away finish. Leave chases when the loop, the walls or the survivor would waste to much of your time. Play with the best addons of him all the time. Only use good perks, save the best for last is quite useful. Nearly never use your ultimate, unless you have one of those rare moments where it does something, its mostly just a waste of time.

I tend to use his power quite often though and it really is a lot of fun. Mouse sensitivity and settings are also important.

- You select Trickster.
- You Lvl him up.
- You play him for a few rounds to get used to his mechanic.
- You decide Huntress is better and never pick Trickster again.

My strategy is to level him up and use starstruck on any other killer...trickster isnt worth the effort😴

My problem is that by the time I reach any survivor, they've already hugged a very safe loop and I cannot down them fast enough to protect other gens. If I leave the guy on the loop then he resumes the gen that I pushed him away from. I've tried monitor and abuse but it's kind of pointless as I'm not able to do much even with reduced distance and considering that trickster has a lullaby too it makes it even more difficult to close the gap...

in short, i dont.
i realized Deathslinger outclasses him in literally every way while still being very similar in terms of gameplay, so i play him instead.

Camp and three gen.
If you see anyone on the other side of the map with BBQ, ignore them its not worth it.

Maybe its because you wasted a little to much time earlier. In strong loops, do you play the right addons and hit basically all knifes as soon as you see them ? Other than priorities, map awareness and target focus, if you have earned enough time already, you can waste a little on a safe loop and still have enough to win. Maybe you need to earn more time early on, to combat the time you loose later. The game is a snowball afterall.

This but without the /s :D
I've tried. I've tried multiple times. The only time he seems even remotely good is against just awful potatoes and if I'm playing against awful potatoes, I could have used any other killer to kill them all but it would have been faster.
Someone here swears that Trickster isn't actually got garbage but I have never seen anything but hot garbage out of him (either as him or against him).

If you have bamboozle, use it on him. Go with the comp style huntress and use bamboozle brutal strength. Also, cry whenever you get shelter woods or a Coldwind map.

Well, usually people just switch to Huntress or Slinger. But me? Nah. I find Trickster WAY more fun.
I almost always M1 when I have the opportunity to. I run STBFL on him so I try to avoid M1ing the obsession. If a survivor is out in the open, that's your cue to spam your blades at them.
Trickster's unique part of him that separates him from Huntress and Slinger is his ability to absolutely DEMOLISH low wall loops. With his tiny blades' hitboxes, you can actually throw them on the other side of low wall loops.
My build on him is: BBQ, Pop, STBFL, and Bamboozle. Feel free to switch out BBQ with whatever you want (I recommend Thrilling), but I need me bloodpoints. Pop is for regression, STBFL for chase power, and Bamboozle to shut down shack and other powerful loops. Shack is, unfortunately, Trickster's main weakness.
Anyways, I'm glad you're winning with him! I personally find him a very fun and unique killer.

I had leveled him up just for Starstruck, but then I had a daily for him. I figured why not?
I'm on switch btw. I don't usually play projectile killers (Doctor, Demo, Myers, Wraith usually). It was fun, but I definitely had trouble with the blades and loops. I really wish he was faster. It feels like it takes forever to traverse the map.

Literally all you do is run around playing nothing but anime openings while chucking knives in every direction acting like its going something super badass.

You proxy camp. That's about the only thing he's good at for getting kills.

Thank you all for the suggestions! I was curious to see how others ppl see him and if I'm missing something.

I throw knives until they go down, with no mindgames or hesitation. 30 seconds is an average chase time around a Long Wall Jungle Gym.
He's so ######### boring. That's literally it, you just learn his timings and get accurate and every time you turn a corner it's another knife or two, but that's it. There's no variance, that's his chase.

Basically this is the best way to play Trickster.

- Profit

You don't play trickster.

Start throwing blades once survivors are in the open when you’re in a chase.
