The Trickster is a close-range DPS class which is focused on hit-and-run tactics, and the manipulation of space and time. Gameplay with the Trickster revolves around their teleporting skills and their fast movement to assassinate targets unknowingly.
- Melee Skill – Deal damage in an area of effect around the Trickster and inflict slow to all nearby enemies. This is an inherent skill and does not need to be added to your skill bar. It can be used by hitting your “melee attack” button. While sprinting, this attack changes to a running ground slam attack that has a larger area of effect and initiates a longer cooldown than the standing or walking melee attack. This is a great defensive skill for use between combos and when your enemies manage to get too close and start to overwhelm you.
- Healing Mechanic – Enemies that die in close proximity will heal you for a medium amount of health and also replenish some shield.
- Class Traits: 5% increased health | Additional 5% damage mitigation | Close range kills heal you for 24% of your maximum health
