The Trickster is one of Dead by Daylight’s newest and most distinctive murderers. He delivers a range play style that isn’t as challenging as some of the other ranged killers in the game, giving him a good starting point for players who are already comfortable with the foundations of the position.
The Trickster is a ranged assassin that can unleash a hail of knives that cause less damage than other ranged killers such as the Huntress. They are, however, significantly quicker and come with debuffs that can aid debilitate survivors trapped in their path.
So, if you want to step into the shoes of the Trickster DBD, here’s our Dead by Daylight Trickster tutorial with all you need to know.
Trickster Perks
The Trickster’s perks are:
Hex: Crowd Control
This function adds a Hex Totem on the map. As long as the Hex Totem hasn’t been blessed or cleaned, the Entity blocks Windows that survivors conduct hasty vaults on for around 20 seconds, depending on perk rank.
No Way Out
When the Trickster hooks a survivor for the first time throughout the match, one new token is added to this perk. When the Exit Gate is turned on, the perk is activated. It alerts the Trickster with a loud noise and disables both Exit Gate Switches for 12 seconds.
Starstruck
This perk focuses on penalizing survivors who attempt to assist any survivors that the Trickster is transporting. Other survivors in his horror Radius are affected with the Exposed status effect while he is carrying a survivor, which lasts for 30 seconds after they leave your horror radius.
Trickster Abilities
The Polished Head-Smasher is the Trickster’s signature weapon. His one-of-a-kind ability is Showstopper, which grants him 44 blades to throw during the game. If the Trickster runs out of knives, he can replenish his supply at any of the Lockers on the map.
When the Trickster strikes a survivor with a sword, an Event Meter is activated. Once the meter is full, he can trigger The Main Event, which allows the Trickster to hurl a limitless amount of knives. That’s basically what you need to know about the Trickster DBD as I’ll see you in the next guide.
