Your thoughts on The Trickster

He's good in very specific situations and horrible outside of those areas. Fairly balanced overall. He has 44 knives base before he has to reload, and he has a movement speed penalty on Main Event.

He is fine, very annoying but whatever he cant hit at every loop but can destroy at certain loops. just like huntress and death slinger

he does have more loops that he can work around then those 2 but he still needs 6 hits to injure

I don't think death slinger or artist have one but close

but Huntress, Trickster, Freddy, twins and Sad-ako(not ranged) have one.

Horrible killer that is only good at camping and deadzone gameplay. He is also probably the best at tunneling right off hook because you injure the rescuer and still have more than enough knives to melt through endurance and then the second health state before they get to safety (most of the time and assuming you're already on the scene when the rescue happened)

I think you got the wrong tone from my post. Idc if a trickster players camps or tunnels, really it's just the smart gameplay because that's without a doubt his strongest aspect. There's nothing toxic about it, it's a gameplay strat. Yes he can injure extremely fast in some situations like deadzones or unsafe loops but in common tiles and strutctures, he's not much different than other killers with mediocre chase powers. In fact I'd argue he's actually worse than the other ranged killers because he takes so many knives.

Most of the time survivors simply run away before actually being in danger and you generally can't snipe them like deathslinger or huntress can, which is devastating because he's 110%. Furthermore if you get maps with too many god loops or obstacles you have lost the coinflip and most likely the game. That's why i think he's relatively garbage, although he is still not the absolute worst.

its actually 56 with add ons

He has a green add on (+8) and a brown (+4)

I always forget the percentage for Bloody Boa for some reason. Guess I'm just too used to using Knife Pouch.

Same! The games I've played against Trickster, none of them have camped or what would be considered face camping. Ive seen patrolling, but nothing more than that.

And when I play Trickster I actively avoid tunneling and camping, as much as it can be helped.

most brain numbingly boring killer to verse, i love holding W for a full minute because they're a 110 killer then i just either die on short wall tiles, or i just hold W on a tile and they hit 1-2 knives every loop around until i go down then there's 1-2 gens left

Try playing on PC with a controller, you will know true mastery of Trickster.

Play huntress, she is just better in every way other than camping.

He needs to be playable on console.

I wonder if slightly making the spread and or the thing where ur blades get less accurate after a few throws less on console would help

That's what I mean, lower that on console

He never should've been added. He feels like a poor cash-grab attempt.

Likewise, his gameplay is bad. He is either extremely oppressive and basically uncounterable or FAR too easy to counter.

He's completely unplayable for the majority of players.

Ever since he came on the scene, I've wondered why the sights keep moving up when he keeps throwing knives?

Yes, I understand that you want to produce the recoil of a machine gun in a shooting game. But that's just the atmosphere.

If I kept throwing knives, I would get tired and the sights would move down.

The muscles that keep the Huntress from being able to throw the hatchet accurately are very convincing. But the trickster looks slender... Or does he have a habit of throwing upwards when he gets tired?

The thing about that is, that in comparison to hatchets, knives are a lot lighter to throw. So it makes sense that Trickster can throw many more knives before feeling the effects of fatigue, and given that he's also DbD's version of an SMG it kind of makes thematic sense that his recoil goes up instead of down. Though from a realistic standpoint it doesn't make sense, unless he's aiming deliberately upwards to counter his fatigue.

As for if he has the physique to know knives continuously, have you seen the type of training that K-Pop stars/Idols go through? They train for hours at a time for many days in a row to perfect their physical performances, on top of vocals as well, while promoting their music with talk shows, advertisements, meet and greets etc. It's a lot of work and even on top of that, you need to maintain your "look". Idols, be they K-Pop, C-Pop or even J-Pop aren't allowed to do certain things, like eating too much junk food, drinking alcohol, gaining anything above or losing anything beyond a certain weight limit, being in a romantic relationship, even their medications can be strictly controlled by their agents. Because these idols aren't supposed to be seen as people, but as "objects" meant to be admired and viewed from afar that also produce money for their labels.

So yeah, as for Ji-Woon being able to throw knives the way he does in the game, even before being welcomed into the Fog by the Entity. I find it very believable that he has the physique to be able to do so and he clearly did for a while. Sure he had to resort to drugging some of his victims, but that was more out of necessity than not being able to overpower a victim.

I'd there was not recoil trickster would legit just be no skill.

Idk what to say man. The ricochet blades require an add-on and the blades that bounce only do 1/2 damage. And Main Event just gets wasted like half the time. Try playing Trickster yourself, and you'll quickly realize how many weaknesses he has.

I like playing him, he has personality and spamming a ranged projectile just feels fun. I don't mind going against him as well tbh, never really had a problem with him.

I just think the ricochet blades should be basekit.

It is interesting to see the perspective of not being fatigued by rigorous training. Thanks also for sharing why the perspective moves up.

I had also forgotten that he had been throwing knives for a purpose long before he came to the Foggy Forest. But then I guess I'd want him to keep throwing it straight, SMG I can understand.
