I’m currently deciding between Trickster and a spirit cosmetic (white hair one, really cool cosmetic)

What do you think? Which one should i get?

    tbh regarding Trickster I bought him a bit ago with shards and I feel even as a Nurse player I have zero use for his perks. Maybe you'll find a gimmick or a playstyle that suits you with some of his perks but for me they're pretty weak or redundant since I have zero issue already downing people.

    As for playing the killer - Honestly feels awful playing him so props to anyone who is good with him somehow. I see zero reason to play Trickster over let's say Huntress, Deathslinger or even let's say Plague. You can give the fun argument but his ability is clunky as hell to use and has too much spread so you can't even wildly throw knives at decent survivors to have fun unless they run in a straight line like an idiot.

    The only redeeming thing about Trickster is how insane he sounds with his voice responses.

    If you really love Spirit I'd lean towards her cosmetics personally.

    Trickster is a fun Killer but he is very weak, comparatively.

    I find Killer cosmetics pointless anyways lol. You only get to see it in a lobby, and the Trial start screen pan.

    But the choice is yours.

    Get Trickster only if you like his look. Otherwise get Spirit cosmetic.

    That’s little different for spirit. You can see your own cosmetics during phasing.

    Normally I wouldn’t consider a cosmetic but it’s different for spirit and some killer like doctor.

    If you don't care about winning as much as you can with other killers, go for Trickster. Very fun killer tbh.

    If you have the option to get another killer get that but otherwise get trickster. At least his perks are not offensively bad and killer cosmetics are borderline useless as YOU cannot see them in game

    Only spirit and doctor is different. Spirit you can see your cosmetics during phasing, and doctor you can see the illusion

    Hes...fun to play i guess but don't go into a match expecting more than 1 kill.

    I personally wouldn't use shards on him unless you have absolutely nothing else to buy with them

    Trickster is so bad that I genuinely cannot recommend getting him unless you want Starstruck and want it right now. F-tier killer.

    Spirit cosmetic for sure.

    True,he is m1 killer with 110% speed.

    Worst of all, only good for Starstruck perk.

    Spirit cosmetic ofcourse. Do not waste your shards with Trickster.

    I love using his starstruck on other killers, I've had some spicy games with it.

    If you're on console, I'd probably go spirit cosmetic. Trickster isn't even fun anymore because of the lag from raising his knife.


    That said though, Starstruck is an amazing teachable to have.

    If you re on console, dont do Tricks

    Honestly i didn't expect so many people recommend cosmetics over Trickster... it really does show how bad he is LOL

    Anyway, thanks everyone for recommendation! Now my spirit looks gorgeous!

    Wouldn't waste money or shards on trickster if I were you.
