Outriders: Trickster - Skills Outriders guide, walkthrough
Last update: 16 April 2021
On this page of the Outriders game guide you will find a detailed description of all the skills of the Trickster.
The Trickster is one of four character classes available in Outriders. He is a close-range character, which means that during the game you will be much closer to your opponents than, for example, the Pyromancer. The Trickster is a typical damage dealer specializing in Hit & Run and has 8 unique skills in his assortment, which can be changed at will during the game, depending on the preferred build.
Class traits
- An additional 5% of the maximum Health;
- Active Shield provides 5% damage reduction;
- Each close range kill heals by an additional 20% of maximum Health and provides 12% Shield.
Melee skill
The Trickster's basic melee attacks not only deal damage but also Slow enemies in a small area, making them easy targets to take down.
Healing mechanic
The Trickster's recovery mechanics are similar to those implemented in the Devastator class. The manipulator recovers Health points from killed enemies that are close to the character. Additionally, each such kill provides the character with a bit of Shield.
