This is a page for the Trickster Class in Outriders. Read on to learn about the skills, class tree, best builds, and more about the Trickster Class!

Trickster Introduction

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.

Close-Range Killer

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.

Shield Hero

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.

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.

How to Use Trickster Effectively

Blink-Trap Slash

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.

Use Twisted Rounds on Elites

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.

Borrow Time for Scouting

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.
