    There's two main addon combos that are particularly nice for Trickster

    Double throw rate addons (Autograph + Fizz Spin Soda) - these addons help you reach Tricksters highest fire rate quicker, meaning you ramp up damage really quickly

    Double movement speed addons (Killing part chords + Caged Heart shoes) - these addons make you lose less distance while you're pelting survivors with knives at short/mid range and even long range in some instances. The numbers might not look massive but with and without them the difference shows

    Knive capacity is never a bad option if you don't know what else to run (Trick pouch and/or Bloody boa)

    If you like to run Iron Maiden, you can also run Melodious Murder for an even faster reload

    You can also mix and match all of the above for good results as well. Experiment with 'em

    The rest of his addons are still pretty good, I just find these are overall better for consistancy

    Lethal pursuer, iron maiden, corrupt intervention and no way out. For add ons id go with at least initial throw rate and something else that suits your playstyle ;)

    @Tr1nity ty for summoning me here to talk about my husband!

    Here's some of my favorite add on combinations with Trickster:

    • Fizz-Spin Soda + Bloody Boa ━ (the best well rounded build for him currently, gives you more ammo and faster downs)
    • Bloody Boa + Melodious Murder ━ (helps with ammo and saves time spent on additional reloading since 5.1.0 changes)
    • Fizz-Spin Soda + Iridescent Photocard ━ (instadowns survivors within at least 5 seconds if played correctly - I would NOT suggest using this build very often if you're new to him because you could fall into bad habits when trying to learn him.)
    • Fizz-Spin Soda + Trick Blades ━ (very strong when you know how to aim with him, able to shred through survivors and possibly get a couple lucky bounced blade shots very fast)

    A couple of other items I like to use are Diamond Cufflinks and Caged Heart Shoes. I typically won't use them unless I don't have any of the item combinations from above, but they're still pretty good add ons to use with him!

    My current build for Trickster is Ruin, Undying, Discordance, and BBQ. These all pretty much make up for the lack of map pressure and gen control that Trickster has. However, if you're having trouble getting downs with Showstopper, you could do an Agitation + Starstruck build as well and get quite a bit of value from it. My brother who doesn't main Trickster uses this build and gets a decent amount of instadowns from it.
