The Trickster - How to make him strong
The Trickster's Laceration Meter should not decay unless another survivor removes the shrapnel.
His default movement speed should be 4.6 m/s.
Give him an activatable ultimate ability that builds up like The Shape & The Oni. Make it hit-scan throwing knives; no recoil and instant -1 health state to any survivor in his line of fire within his Terror Radius. Upon activation: he stops moving, strikes a pose for three seconds, and yells "Main Event," - this should give survivors ample time to break line of sight.
To give you an idea for his ultimate:

I think he should be able to spend 20 Knives to create a trap on the ground that adds like 3 Laceration to survivors who run over it. Persisting until that happens or until the Trickster reloads at a locker.
It'd be more useful than Main Event.
