Trickster Training wheel perks/addons?
What perks/addons can I use for training wheels on Trickster? I play on console so aiming is a bit hard but I'm trying to git gud with him.

Side question: Does playing other FPS games help with aiming in this game?

Both of his movement speed add-ons make his power less punishing. In contrast, his initial throw rate add-ons make his power more punishing but greatly rewards precision, so i don't recommend those to begin with, use the movement speed ones.
For perks idk, i like to use his teachables.

Iron Maiden on him is great if you happen to have it unlocked, otherwise it's important to note that each hand fires its own knife and they're actually space apart so that can keep to take note of when you're trying to snipe single knives.

As a main Trickster, I can say with confidence that if you want to train with him, you should you use:
Addons:
You should definitely use this addon. In my personal opinion, this addon is the second best "Very Rare" addon for him.
With this one, you can just throw knives near to survivor's feet (1m only) and you gonna do 50% laceration on them. This can help you control his recoil better, especially you who plays on console.
Plus with the:
This addon makes you speed almost the same as survivors (from (3.86m/s / 96%) ---to---> (3.96m/s / 99%)), believe or not, this is a huge deal, specially in loops like TLs/Jungle-Gym/Shack.
Combining both addons, you can move almost the same speed as the survivor, throwing knifes on the floor (near of the survivor's feet) or in loop's corners, doing 50% damage and at the same time, you can keep following the survivor on the loop without lose much speed.

Perks:
Unfortunately, Trickster don't have perks that are really good on him; like M&A on Deathslinger, Infections on Oni or Ruin/Undying on Blight, so you should try some combinations and see what works for you.
But playing with him a lot, I can say that Bamboozle, Iron Maiden and Agitation are good picks on him (You don't need to run all of this perks in one build).
Bamboozle: to shut down strong loops where Trickster suffers a little bit, like Shack (use it with caution, this can make you predictable on loops).
Iron Maiden: to reload faster (4secs to 2secs).
Agitation: is good for bring survivors to Dead Zones or Basement.
Corrupt and DeadLock are also good on him, as he cannot pressuare gens on medium/large maps.
(btw, english is not my main language, so if I typed something wrong, sorry :ppp)!

I recommend Deadlock as a Trickster perk! He's a slow killer so having a bit of passive map pressure will help you in the long run
Also part of Trickster's learning curve is knowing when not to use knives and/or when to break chase. Some structures Trickster is simply unable to easily handle due to his 110% movement speed and projectile based power.

You see I would use deadlock not only on Trickster but some of my other killers. Issue is. I don't have pinhead.
The issue I'm having is that most scenarios, it feels like I'm better off m1'ing.

It's the same as huntress. It's better to use your power because you don't suffer a weapon cooldown, making it easier to catch up to survivors. Downing them with m1 is fine to conserve ammo though

I like the addons that increase movement speed while holding knives (it's a brown and a yellow, don't remember the names). As perks I recommend Iron Maiden and Bambozlee. Trickster isn't like Huntress, you're going to miss a lot, and the nerf to the number of knives was pretty harsh imo, so Iron Maiden helps if you for some reason need to reload mid chase. Bambozlee is simply because there are some loops like jungle gyms you can barely throw 1-2 knives before the survivor breaks LOS again, so getting rid of them is quite strong.
If you're good in other FPS games you'll find DBD a joke in that regard. I always had an easier time with the aiming killers because I used to play FPS games since I was a kid and survivor movement in DBD is quite easy to track in comparison. Deathslinger for example was always kind of a no brainer for me.
