Making THE TRICKSTER a better killer

Hello from JP Forum.

I love THE TRICKSTER. (More like throwing knives and killing them XD)

There are three things that I am always dissatisfied with when I use THE TRICKSTER.


1. I want originality!

Now he's just a degraded rehash of THE HUNTRESS.

Nowadays, THE TRICKSTER lacks originality, and to be honest, the rescuer hunting, which is one of its strengths, is a bit subtle.

So I would like him to be a killer who completely specializes in knife throwing.

Specifically, I'll eliminate the punching motion and make the current ready and throw motion the default.

Then set up a new knife trick for the current ready and throw operation.


2.I want to do a lot of knife tricks with add-ons!

I would like to see an add-on to change the way knives are thrown, like THE NIGHTMARE's Dream Snare and Dream Palette.

Examples of varying throwing styles are as follows

・Throw about six of them in a fan shape.

・It'll come back to you like a boomerang.

・Throw two knifes together quickly.

・It's like a kill movie, knives falling from above your head.

・Throws knives that pierce the terrain, dealing damage if they pass between them

Also, if the background music changes to match these tricks, the changes will be even more like him.


3. I want more knife skins!

I don't mind if it's an add-on, but I want a change in the look of the knives.

I want a gaming knife that shines in seven different colors, a crystal knife that is transparent and invisible, a golden knife that dazzles...


What do you guys think?

    1. I don't understand what your saying / Nani o Itteiru no wakarimasen
    2. I would like that, seeing more variety in his kit.
    3. I would like that but it would definitely be part of a skin rather then an addon.

    In general I like Trickster but he has a bit of an issue of not being liked by most people. He is also very difficult on console (PS4, Switch, Xbox).

    I'm sorry if I mispelled or said the romanji incorrectly.

    I really wanted him to become a mix of a strategy Killer and ranged Killer. To do this, his Lacerations would only expire on a change in health state, allowing him to stack them over time and then do big plays. Instead, they double downed on him needing to tunnel his target. He had potential, and we've seen none of it.

    I'm sorry, this is a machine translation, so I may not be able to convey it well.

    And the Roman alphabet is well conveyed. Thank you.


    Killer attacks normally with the M1 button (left mouse click).

    Replace this with knife throwing done with M2 + M1.

    In other words, the knife is held from the beginning, and the M1 button is used to throw the knife, and if you hold it, it will keep throwing.

    When the knife stock is 0, you can hit it with the M1 button.

    No, because sometimes, you're close enough to hit with M1. You could lose a target because you were forced to use your power instead of M1.

    I don't think this should be added because an m1 is a universal basic attack on all killers.

    It will also be much harder to play Trickster. They would have to buff his knive count or something else in his kit.

    By the way, what do people in JP think of Trickster? Most people in EN hate Trickster.

    >Most people in EN hate Trickster.

    I'm not sure what "hate" means, so I read it as strong and hated.

    Trickster doesn't have a great reputation as a killer on the JP forums. The character is popular.

    I definitely do agree with you about getting new skins for his knives. That's a great idea

    I'm also JP.

    His visuals are well-liked in Japan, but he is difficult to use(especially on console), and even if you could use him, he is too weak. So, playing as a killer is not really preferred.

    Trickster does need some changes to his base kit and add ons to make him a more fun yet viable killer but what killer doesn't? As far Trickster goes he's probably really low on the list for killers to receive even minor changes or quality of life changes.

    That being said I do think killers like Huntress and Trickster should be able to customize more of their ability to be more unique and not use the same thing over and over. No a necessity but a good addition.

    Add ons should definitely be changed to be more creative and change up his power in creative ways like other killer add ons do but they don't. They change certain parts of his kit like walking speed when throwing knives or the throw rate. We need more add ons like ricochet, piercing and shatter so knives themselves can have as much personality as the one trhwoing them A.K.A Trickster

    Trickster is a ######### killer because there is almost no looping on certain maps where walls are not high enough. it all comes down to 6 hits, injured, 6 hits , hooked.

    Huntress is fub because you are able to react / avoid etc. With trickster its not an option as laceration stays for 15freaking seconds.


    Thankfully there is not much of them nowadays playing. I hope there are going to be better killers in the future that looping and avoiding killer is fun
