The Trickster is a killer who has a similar principle to the Huntress; however, he can throw multiple knives at the same time, which as a killer, increases the chances of hitting a survivor. He is sometimes known as the Hyped mini Huntress, and most survivors hate him because of the constant getting hit by the knives, which can get frustrating, making the killer good.
Now, let the fog reveal the top 5 best builds for the Trickster:
5. The Toxicity of Trickster Revealed Build
Dead By Daylight Gameplay By D3AD Plays
The Toxicity of Trickster Revealed Build is mainly based on the power of generator regression and a touch of end-game kill, with the perk No Way Out, which would then block the exit gate switches for a maximum of 60 seconds, allowing the killer to catch up on the survivors, and get all the critical hits and sacrifices.
Nonetheless, it is a great build for slowing down the game using generator regression perks and finishing with a touch of exit-blocking perk, No Way Out, which would then keep all the survivors in the game.
What the Toxicity of Trickster Revealed Build Excels In:
- The perks Hex: Ruin and Pop Goes the Weasel makes a great combination, especially where you can switch between tactics of generator regression. Once Ruin has been cleansed, you can still use the power of regression with the help of pop goes the weasel, which can instantly regress -20% from the generator.
- With the perk No way out, it will be much more difficult for the survivors to escape during the endgame, as the perk allows them to block the exit gate switches for a maximum of 60 seconds, making it easier for the killer to catch up on the survivors who are trying to escape early.
Build details & perks:
- No way out: For each Survivor, you hook for the first time, and No Way Out gains 1 Token. Once the Exit Gates have been powered, No Way Out activates: When a Survivor interacts with an Exit Gate Switch, you receive a Loud Noise Notification, and The Entity blocks both Exit Gate Switches for 12 seconds and an additional 6/9/12 seconds per Token in your possession, up to a combined maximum of 36/48/60 seconds.
- Pop Goes the Weasel: After hooking a Survivor, Pop Goes the Weasel activates for the next 35/40/45 seconds: The next Generator you damage instantly loses -20 % of its current Progression. Regular Generator Regression applies afterwards, and Pop Goes the Weasel deactivates.
- Hex: Ruin: Whenever a Survivor is not repairing a Generator, it will immediately and automatically regress its Repair progress at 50/75/100 % of the normal Regression speed. Once any Survivor is killed by any means, Hex: Ruin deactivates and reverts its Hex Totem into a Dull Totem. The Hex effects persist until its Hex Totem is cleansed.
- Corrupt Intervention: At the start of the Trial, the 3 Generators located farthest from you are blocked by The Entity for 80/100/120 seconds. Corrupt Intervention deactivates prematurely once the first Survivor is put into the Dying State.
4. The Calling Grace Build
Dead By Daylight Gameplay By DrankSomeWater
The Calling Grace Build is a build that combines the skills of generator regression and difficulty with a touch of lunge attack, sponsored by the perk Coup de Grace, which allows you to have 60% bigger lunge attacks, particularly useful when the survivors have perks such as dead hard, which would then wait out the 0.5-second exhaustion perk, and go for the successful hit when not expected.
Nonetheless, this makes a great build with combinations of melee attacks and automatic generator difficulty, which would make it hard for the survivors to comprehend.
What the Calling Grace Build Excels In:
- With the perk Merciless Storm, it would be much more difficult for the survivors to comprehend the generators, especially when facing the perk for the first time in the game, as it would confuse the survivors and therefore miss the skill checks, alerting the killer.
- With Coup de Grace, you will be able to have bigger lunge attacks, which is very good, especially since the killer already has a big lunge attack, and giving this advantage, the killer would be able to hit the survivors from far distances.
Build details & perks:
- Coup de Grace: As the end nears, you go in for the kill. Each time a Generator is completed, Coup de Grâce grows in power. Gain 1 Token per Generator. Consume 1 Token to increase the distance of your next Lunge Attack by 40/50/60 %.
- Pop Goes the Weasel: After hooking a Survivor, Pop Goes the Weasel activates for the next 35/40/45 seconds: The next Generator you damage instantly loses -20 % of its current Progression. Regular Generator Regression applies afterwards, and Pop Goes the Weasel deactivates.
- Call of Brine: After damaging a Generator, the Call of Brine activates for 60 seconds. The Generator regresses at 150/175/200 % of the normal Regression speed, revealing its Aura to you. Each time a Survivor completes a Good Skill Check on a Generator affected by Call of Brine, you receive a Loud Noise Notification.
- Merciless Storm: Whenever a Generator is repaired to 90 %, Survivors repairing it are faced with continuous Skill Checks. If they miss one or stop repairing, the Generator becomes blocked for 16/18/20 seconds.
