  • 110%
  • 90% when charging
  • 3 Blades to injure
  • .70 seconds wind up and between throws
  • 6 blades held in hand/ 24 in pouch
  • 1.5 second on the reload from pouch
  • Main event back to original but 18 knives landed

Trickster feels unfun to go against because it’s almost impossible to miss 44 knives and getting caught in a DZ is an automatic death sentence. With a much slower throw rate on top of having to grab more knives from his pouch, this will allow survivors to actually dodge knives and make missing knives more punishing.

At the same time this will make landing longer range damage states way more viable for Trickster. And actually push survivors off objectives at range to help with map pressure.While still having a devastating main event. This is also a much more realistic version of Trickster which actually has hold the knives in his hand and then grab more from a pouch and have to go to lockers as well. Being temporarily buffed by the entity for his main event.

I think this would be Kind of a middle ground between Huntress and Deathslinger. Making him fun to play as and against since he would have more realistic counter play and not just spamming knives like crazy. Let me know what you guys think!

    it could be an add-on. add-on are often suppose to change how killer plays. trickster's mimics that of smg or fully auto rifle in the game. one type of killer that doesn't exist in the game is 3 round burst which exists fps games. 3 burst rifles are another type of fps weapon. it wouldn't be out of ordinary for trickster to volley 3 glass knives. you can also make trickster have like hunting rifle add-on where it is like shoot, reload, shoot. reload, shoot between short intervals but maybe that type of gameplay would make more sense for Deathslinger as an add-on.

    It is different killer at that point but add-on can like transform and modify rules. it is just that if BVHR does make add-on's like this, it takes a lot work because it is like managing a killer from an original killer. Little bit like how certain survivors have base character, say Jill and than there is legendary skins that transform legendary character. So you have regular trickster and than there is like modified trickster V2 in said add-on.
