Should I get The twins or wait for new killer?

I nearly have 9k shards now, and I’m not sure which one should I get. Any suggestions?

    I'll vote for The Trickster simply since many don't find The Twins fun. I liked them, but I think the Trickster's more expressive animations and sounds make him more appealing.

    The trickster seems like more fun to play but I'd wait till he's been out a little after PTB because he's probably gunna get some changes so we can see if he's in a better position than he is atm.

    The Twins are a lot more fun than the Trickster. So I would get the Twins.

    Shards well spent.

    Twins are obnoxious to play. On one hand, you are incentivized to use Victor as much as possible. However, he gets no benefits from perks, so you will need to tailor your build around what is useful for the time you play as Charlotte. Disco, BBQ, Ruin, Surveillance, all of these make her a sort of intel gatherer that howitzers an angry short man towards any bright colors. From there, she mostly becomes useless, as do your perks. I really think the Twins were not well designed at all. Yes, you will use her to get a few initial hits on groups when possible, which makes Victors job easier, but it's just not a fun playstyle. I have managed ONE GAME where I was able to break this and use Victor as a sort of scout that could defend himself, while piling on decent perks onto Charlotte to make her a bit more threatening despite being an M1 Killer. Since then, I have not been able to replicate that playstyle because it has too many caveats that are easy to abuse.

    Trickster, on the other hand, can be a pretty fun chase Killer that punishes LoS. The only issue is that he seems to be made specifically to give Survivors that don't like taking real damage from range a bone. He feels week, his ranged attack feels sloppy, damage takes forever to get, and he honestly works best just outside of melee range. I'm hoping the devs listen to the playerbase saying that he needs a damage buff, or that Lacerates should slow down Survivors so he can hone in on a target better. If they do, he will become very fun while still having enough room to give Survivors counterplay (break LoS, play his Lacerate timer, trick him into thinking Main Event is a good ability, etc).

    We'll see how Trickster goes, but I highly recommend NOT getting Twins. I just don't find their playstyle fun at all. You could totally choose to use them for something other than slugging, but you'd also be choosing to basically gimp them.

    Oh i have no problems with spending money. However, i have problem with spending money on BHVR game.

    The game has a lot of issues, and devs are still greedy and works slowly. Until they get better i'll not spend any money on this game unless its the license i want.

    Please don't get the twins. Let that garbage can of a killer die asap.

    That's quite harsh on twins. If they see this they're gonna be very upset. :)

    I don't care for the twins at all.

    The Trickster might be fun but he's so unbelievably useless and ineffective I can't recommend him either.

    I would wait and see if they buff Trickster enough, and if they don't, well then just don't get either honestly.

    There is almost no reason to get Twins, they're unfun to play (imo from watching gameplay and reviews), unfun to play against, their perks are bad except for oppression which is just situational which could easily be picked up in a shrine some time, and their lore is just that they were hunted their whole life because they're conjoined twins.

    The Trickster is much better, honestly a better killer even if he isn't good (will probably be buffed), he has some good perks, he looks pretty okay to play against, and his aesthetic is so much better.

    But before getting either of them, save up 2k more shards in case some godlike perk comes out in a shrine right after you buy them, happened with me when I bought spirit for Rancor and another good perk came up the week after, edited because I implied rancor came up a week after but it was something like Dead Hard.

    Twins aren't fun since they're heavy slug and camping type of playstyle. Trickster may be arguably weaker, but BOI is he fun with the ricochet projectiles etc.

    The Twins are actually pretty good and mastering them will get you lots of 4ks.

    The Trickster is about as threatening as Billy with Speed Limiter if we're going off the PTB

    That is actually giving him too much credit. At least then you could still just walk around and M1 people as Billy, Trickster is too slow to even do that. He also wouldn't be able to at least...traverse the map to put pressure somewhere with said M1s.

    Wait, then decide.

    The Twins is a killer with more variety in terms of tactics and has some fun add-ons. The perks are not the best though.

    The Trickster is a weaker killer due to him having a weaker power, yet the perks are far better and can be passed on to others.

    Ultimately, do you like to play as the killer more than the teachable perks available, or vice versa? That's one way you could decide.

    However, if you're not sure, you can still purchase with shards.

    Twins - Unique, underrated, fun but sometimes pain (Missing as a Victor is usualy big punish for you). Perks are trash or low tier / meme tier.

    Trickster - Less unique (power), below mid-tier probably, I am not sure about fun factor since I played only very few with him, but his perks are rly good or interesting at least.

    Considering I never see the twins, tells me they are not worth it your shards or cells.

    I'd say just save what you have for the new killer, he's at least more interesting than the design of the Twins but hopefully gets improved from his PTB version.

    Twins are awful, I would either get Trickster or another Killer before them, also their perks are not even great, Opression is decent but not THAT good to guarantee 9k shards. Trickter on the other hand has 3 decent perks, the Hex being actually great since it voids jungle gyms, but since its a Hex is a gamble as always.

    Trickster is trash in the current state, Twins are not very good and are boring as ######### to play as and games are the longest of any killer maybe behind legion or pig. If you have literally any other killer to unlock besides those 2 i would get it instead.
