Ok I came down to 2 choices on what killer I should unlock once I reach 9000 shards.

It will either be the trickster or blight.


Are they easy to learn/play?


Explain your best for each of these killers.

Comments

  • Blight is harder to learn and is buggier.

    However Blight is overall much stronger and lets you pull off silly plays once mastered and has undying as an unlock which is still a somewhat meta killer perk.


    Trickster is deceptively simple and is fairly add-on dependent(Reducing the amount of knifes needed for damage add-on is borderline required).

    Trickster is overall much weaker and the best ways to play him is also the least interesting way due to having everything fun being overbalanced like "Main Event". Also his perks other then starstruck haven't had any real impact and starstruck is very meme.

  • Blight, he has the most potential out of the two and is much more fun, since he provides you with extremely strong tools that you can use in fun and creative ways

    Trickster just throws knives, its basically huntress but less interesting

  • Trickster is easy enough to play, but tough to do well with surprisingly. With that said he's got great teachable perks and some do work pretty well on their own, which can help out some killer builds. I find him to be a fun killer to mess around with.

    Blight is a much harder killer to get into but has enormous potential and is very oppressive due to his high mobility. He's essentially a walking pinball who needs to dash and slam into walls before being able to attack survivors. If you can learn his ways of the dash, he can be very deadly. It helps that he also has add-ons that'll ease you into his playstyle. His only con would be his perks:

    • Undying's good but it needs another hex perk equipped in order to feed it.
    • Dragon's Grip can be good with some characters and builds but is otherwise average.
    • Blood Favor is my pick for being the worst hex perk of the game. It doesn't help that Blight has an add-on which does the same thing this perk does.

    You want the better perks? Pick Trickster.

    You want the better killer overall and don't mind a challenge? Pick Blight.

  • Blight is going to be the easier of the two. He moves at standard (115%) speed and you can just use his power for mobility if you aren't comfortable using it as a tool for chasing/attacking survivors yet. His power is more difficult to master than Trickster's is, but that's mostly because there is a lot more you can do with it.

    Trickster isn't super hard to learn either, but he also doesn't have much of a skill ceiling right now thanks to his underwhelming abilities. You can definitely figure out how to hit/injure people using his knives without much effort (and it's fun to land knife shots), but it'll still be a challenge to succeed when using him if the survivors aren't potatoes.

  • I'd go with Blight.

    Blight is a strong killer. Trickster is fairly mediocre.

    That said, Blight is a lot harder to play well.

  • Just don’t play Trickster. He sucks ass and is a headache to play as and against.

  • If you wanna give easy games to survivors, unlock Trickster.

    you ended up with the worst choices

    blight is extremely hard to pilot and trickster is burning garbage and boring

    so do you want frustration but higher reward?

    or casual anime kpop failure killer?

    i think the answer is obvious

    Then what? Lol

  • So blight it is then :)


    Also how's twins and our they trash? Just. Curious about them

    i donkt know, just buy demogorgon or oni. simple, reliable, and fun killers. leatherface? maybe even bubonic babe, you don't need great aim to play her and she's more fun than bootleg joker.

    out of blight and trickster, if you really have to pick between them, the answer is obvious, pick blight.

    I already have those ones XD

    lol go for blight then. if you feel bad about picking blight later on, you can always play deathslinger or huntress and be reminded of how bad trickster would be to play with his 8 knives requirement to injure someone. :)

    True:)


    Also what about twins?

  • If you're new to the game (judging by your forum join date you're clearly not new, lol) then Trickster would be better. He's a lot more approachable compared to Blight. However, you seem like an experienced player so I'd go for Blight. He takes time to learn tho, just be aware of that. But damn he's a blast to play as. I find Trickster fun as well but many people find him boring so I'm not sure if you'll like him.

  • Blight is more fun but harder to learn, and if you’re on console its even harder. He has Undying though which is meta if ran with ruin/devour. his 2 other perks are meh, although dragons grip can be fun on stealth killers

    Trickster is easier to learn, but requires good aim if you want to play him well. Imo hes not the worst killer, hes just outclassed by every other ranged killer and can be boring to play if its a bad map. Also, his perks are pretty bad, Starstruck is his best perk but its only really good on nurse- and his other perks are plain awful

  • If you're good with Huntress you'll do fine with Trickster. You just need to hit the survivors 8 times instead of once for a health state. Blight is more technical but he's really strong once you get used to him.
