List of Contents
The Trickster is a Space-Time Assassin. Teleport behind enemy lines, slow down time, watch enemies explode in slow motion with Temporal Blade. Equipped with control over space and time, the kill combinations for this Class are endless.
Tricksters are healed for every close-range kill and granted Shield for every enemy that dies by their Skills giving you some protection as you continue clearing the field.
A Trickster's Healing Mechanic works best when you get up close and personal with your prey. You can rely on Shards to heal up, no one's stopping you; but you're a time-bending apex predator, act like one. Get in there, throw yourself in the fray, and slash your way to victory.
Another component that's unique to the Trickster is the ability to generate a Shield for every enemy you kill. Despite having the lowest base HP, your Shield is the best defense against enemy attacks just make sure you keep on killing to keep that Shield up.
Shielded Readiness takes this even further by giving you addtitional 20% Shield for every enemy killed by cancelling your Healing Mechanic. Either way, this Shielding mechanic turns you into one formidable killer.
Trickster | |
---|---|
Class Icon | |
Description | Close Range, Hit & Run, Spacetime Bend the laws of space and time to appear out of nowhere, assassinate your enemies, and return to safety in the blink of an eye. |
Melee Skill | Deal damage and inflict Slow to all enemies within a small radius. |
Healing Mechanic | As the Trickster, each enemy killed in close range heals you and grants a portion of Shield. |
Traits | • Receive additional 5% Maximum Health • Active Shield grants 5% damage mitigation. • Every Close Range kill heals you by 20% of your Maximum Health and grants you 12% Shield |
The Trickster class can move in and out of the enemies quickly using spacetime skills. Its moves are mostly for close range combat and players can customize their Trickster to a DPS build or a Tank build that can both make the most out of its healing mechanic and shield.
Players who prefer getting behind enemy lines before assassinating enemies quickly in close range combat suits the Trickster class best.
If you wish to clear the game solo using the Trickster class, we recommend you to check our Solo Trickster build.
Strengths | Weaknesses |
---|---|
• High mobility; the Trickster has the fastest base Movement along with Movement bonuses granted by certain skills • High base Firepower; as a close-range combatant, the Trickster is granted more firepower to deal with enemies as it pushes forward. |
•Lowest base HP; the main reason why the Trickster is granted a portion of Shield alongside its Healing Mechanic is due to its low base HP • Close-range Interrupts; unlike the Pyromancer and Devastator, the Trickster's interrupt skills are only useful if you can close the distance before the enemy skill is done charging. |
There are various Mods that could alter how much HP and Armor your Trickster can get. For a quick close-ranged kill against multiple enemies, these four would be the top of the line:
Even Odds | Mitigation from Death | Damage Absorber | Plate Dodge |
As a Trickster, your Skills work better when used in combinations with one another. One of the earliest combinations you can do is the Blink-Trap Slash where you teleport behind enemie groups, encase then in Slow Trap, and slash them with Temporal Blade just before the skill ends.
There are lots of Mods that could enhance Twisted Rounds, so you can choose from a variety of combinations that will suit your gamestyle. Elites can take a lot of heavy damage, so make sure you unload your Anomaly Rounds right between their eyes.
Use Borrowed Time to quickly scout for enemies in a new area, this will help you plan your strategy after gathering information from behind enemy lines.
Build | Description |
---|---|
Reaver | A Trickster Cyclone build that relies on maneuvering your character to the best location to damage the most number of enemies in the span of each skill duration. |
Harbinger | The Harbinger is a Survival-focused build. This build will rely on perfectly timed tactics to survive any battle. We recommend this build for farming your World Tier. |
Assassin | This Trickster build focuses on maximizing weapon damage as well as using skills and unlocking class tree nodes that work perfectly well with weapons, especially Shotguns. |
Solo Trickster | A modified version of the Reaver build and is recommended for those playing the game on their own. This build focuses on retaining heavy Anomaly Power damage while still regarding the need for Health bonuses |
Endgame Trickster | A Trickster Build meant to cover Co-op Expeditions in the post-game campaign. This build will follow the same node set as the Solo Trickster but with a slightly different Mod set. |
