Trickster's Death Throes addon is sorta just horrible now

The replacement effect is absolutely pointless since the main time anyone is gonna use Main Event is when they're directly behind a survivor and, at that point, why would you even need the aura reading? The old addon effect was good, but, obviously, very unbalanced with his changes to Main Event(we can all agree on that one).


What I think should be done with this addon is bring the reload effect back, but instead of being a full reload upon ending Main Event it should rather be a partial reload of 8 blades upon ending Main Event. The primary purpose of this would just be to delay the need to reload at a locker.

Also this change would actually reward players for having good aim because running out of blades then activating Main Event will give you 8 blades which is just enough to potentially damage a survivor and to charge Main Event so landing 8 blades in a row without missing can keep you from having to reload at a locker. However though this would be a challenge since missing a single blade would basically result in having to reload at a locker regardless.

    i think iri card, fizz soda and ji autograph could use revert as well. death throes compilation could just been a nerf from 100% to 25% reload.

    regardless, trickster is fun to play regardless of those bad add-on's. It is unlikely there is any time to change those add-on as holidays are coming up.

    I can agree with you that a few addons need changes(with the exception of Photocard since that exposed effect was a tad bit overkill on him) because Memento Blades isn't exactly needing to be at 10% anymore since his throwrates have been fixed. Although I wouldn't put Death Throes based on percentage since that could give him the ability to miss a few shots and still keep getting his Main Event which would effectively cause the same issue as it was on the PTB with never needing to reload at lockers ever hence why I specified 8 blades.

    Those of you have tried Trickster after the work and managed to win can you suggest a fairly good build / add-ons.

    I'm not an expert at Trickster, but some stuff that I think are good to start off with are Darkness Revealed + Ultimate Weapon(if you have both perks already) since that is a good perk combo for getting a lot of map info on both Trickster and Huntress due to the fact that they both have to open lockers to reload which triggers these perks.

    After that I'd either run at least 1 gen defense perk(either Pain Res or Pop would be best) with 1 chase perk(I find Bamboozle to be one of the better chase perks on him) or just simply 2 gen defense perks instead if you don't feel like you need a chase perk.

    As for addons I'd just recommend, for a beginner, to use Memento Blades and Caged Heart Shoes since those are two of his good addons rn and are both low-rarity meaning that they'll be more available to a beginning Trickster or you could just run Caged Heart Shoes with Killing Part Chords instead since they make you hardly slow down while throwing blades. You can also use the Edge Of Revival Album to make getting hits in certain cases easier since you can aim at the survivor's feet to get hits, but it'll take twice as many blades to do so(also keep in mind that this strategy for the addon won't get your Main Event charged since you aren't "hitting" blade shots). Finally, if you're comfortable with his default speed while throwing, you could use Memento Blades with the Waiting For You Watch since the combo is currently extremely powerful with making his Main Event throw rate 10% faster and you get a lot of time back for each hit you make.


    That's pretty much all the advice that I can give to you on Trickster so I hope it helps.

    Thanks. I did use both DR and UW. 2 survivors almost escaped but as the main event triggered I was able to hit the switch and down the one opening the gate. I'm terrible at loops but I triggered the event way more often than before.

    Hence why I recommended possibly using Bamboozle to make loops harder-
