I did the Trickster tome challenges unfortunately
What happened to The Trickster? He only has 44 knives & he throws them slower?
I'm playing this game on console, I have a controller with two analog sticks & a button. That's what I'm working with.
Am I supposed to do the thing where you hit a survivor with one precise knife through a crack in a wall 16 times while looping?
I enjoyed barrel stuffing people at dead zones, walking through a pallet with Enduring & punishing survivors with 2 health states of damage if they don't drop it.
I can't shred people anymore, I have to send the knives to them in the mail.
Also, have the knife hit boxes gotten more inconsistent? I would always aim at people's thighs to hit them reliably, but that doesn't seem to work as well anymore.

He got a rework with the chucky patch. No recoil, moves at 4.6m/s, gets main event in 8 blades instead of 30 but has slower throw rate and removed ramp up and takes 8 blades to injure. Because of his decreased lethality, his memento blades add-on is basically a must have, as it straight up increases your throw rate by 10%.

For what purpose? Did they explain?
Having no recoil is nice but that alone doesn't warrant such debilitating changes.
Does main event deal more laceration damage?

They said they wanted to make him faster, but all they did was make his power terrible just for the excuse of making him 4.6m/s.
Main Event only increases throw rate, nothing else.

Always bring Memento Blades when you play Trickster for throwrate, he feels terrible without it. I figure he's going to get changes in 2025 judging by the way BHVR have been tweaking and improving killers recently.
His bonus main event duration addons are also really strong, so a cheap and effective combo is Memento Blades + Inferno Wires, the brown addon for duration. Or Tequila, the yellow addon for duration.
If you wanna shred people now, make sure you have decent line of sight. Then immediately after injuring with your first 8 blades, activate main event and shred the next health state. It only takes 8 blades to get main event now, so you can instantly follow up a blade injury with a main event.

he is always had 44 knives for about 3 years now or something like that. he throws faster then before but takes 8 hits to injure instead of 6.
if they do change him, please don't nerf him.

If they change him I'm sure they'll make him stronger. He's not particularly strong right now, just annoying and even more hated by survivors than before the rework. There's no guarantee he'll get changed any time soon, but I'm hoping for something in 2025 at least.

he is more hated by survivors because he is more effective. BVHR often makes changes oriented around survivor's fun so they're more likely to nerf him then buff him. he is alright as a killer if you have good aim but he is not exactly time efficient killer at aggressively chasing survivor around the map. he would been closer to being more time efficient if his ptb form went fully through with less add-on dependency. it is hard for them to make big sweeping changes on weaker killers because backlash on the gameplay not being fun or whatever other excuse survivors come up with.

Trickster just sucks now. He's technically better since he's 115% speed now but he's lost all his identity.
If you liked machine gunning he's just dead it seems. The current one seems to encourage going for guaranteed knives, or just using your bat.
The last Trickster sucked too but at least he was fun to lose with on console.

Trickster main here.
He need more love, his identity is gone, especially on details, laughts, knifes sounds ( little details ) before could feel he improving and pursuing like a crazy guy, knifes increasing speed, laughs like a crazy, now u need chase until a mid distance or less to use your knifes better because u need 8 hits now, and after that, use your main event if the survivor is on open area or just lose your time. His addons are usuless now, just tequila and main event duration addons, his add in the most part are boring now, and the principal, u cant play as trickster without use memento blades add or he will be a turtle using knifes. He might be strong now ( maybe more strong, i dont sure about it, if he is, is just a little bit) but he lost all identity and is boring to plays agaisnt and feels other killer playing as. 85% Trickster 's mains didnt like his changes, and he has A LOT of feedback and he is still forget since last december.2
