    Blood favor is really good for chases. I recommend pairing it with undying though.


    Bamboozle is also a good option but way more situational

    that killer has a lot of issues:

    • low MS (4.4) so you can't defend generators since you don't have mobility
    • EXTREMELY map dependant (if you have a map like lery or the game you can only hope that they are bad enough to catch one of them cause your power won't help you in any possible way due to the walls and objects that will stop your knifes)
    • enough addon dependant in order to be somewhat troublesome for the survivors

    bamboozle is a must cause some maps are just impossible to play with him if you don't have it (garden of joy and haddonfield are some examples) and slowdown gens aren't worth enough unless you'll try to create a 3 gen zone. Overall it is the killer himself that will have troubles when you'll face competent survivors regardless of the skill that the killer player will have, so don't think too much about it.

    He has some unique problems with his kit. I always take Bamboozle. The Caged Heart Shoes add-on actually helps a ton. Brutal Strength can help, but it's a bit less tangible. A faster pallet break leads to less distance gained, which can lead to more knives landed. Agitation is also a good Trickster perk because you're going to want to play more area control/campy with him.

    Bamboozle or Crowd Control are pretty good options since they help you deal with one of the things he struggles with a bit being windows. Brutal Strength is also decent.

    The thing is, Trickster really gets his chase from actually using his power correctly, which perks dont really help with that. Learning what tiles and places you can actually commit to chase and which ones you should avoid is crucial, as well as making those knives last as long as possible.

    There is actually very little difference between a 4.4 and a 4.6 movement speed killer in terms of map presence

    That's just a very common misconception

    If we look over a distance of 100m then a 4.4 killer does that in 22.7 seconds and a 4.6 killer in 21.7 seconds. Only a single second slower

    The difference between 4.4 and 4.6 only really matters in chases.

    It is true that trickster isn't good at defending gens but it's not because of his movement speed

    Any perk that blocks windows. Except Cruel Limits, or whatever it's called. I suppose you could make a case for combo'ing with Superior Anatomy as well, or even Fire Up, if you feel particularly memey.
