Tricks of the Dodger: We talk in detail about the Trickster class from Outriders

As part of the program “Outriders News“publishing house Square enix and studio People can fly will periodically detail the various aspects of the Outriders role-playing action movie. In this article we will talk about one of the classes – Trickster.

Trickster is one of the four available game classes at Outriders.. It is designed for close range combat and clever maneuvers. In fact, we have before us the traditional “Assassin”. Despite the mentioned strengths of this type of heroes, the flexible role-playing system Outriders will allow you to create a Trickster that can, for example, also act as a tank.

Key Class Features

Trickster’s melee attack can either significantly slow down the enemy, or inflict area damage if it is activated during the sprint.

Outriders does not offer traditional health-restoring items or abilities. Tricksters are treated during the battle, attacking opponents. It is in this that they succeed better than the rest. First of all, due to a passive feature that increases the regeneration of health during killings from close range, as well as unique activated shields.

In total, Trickster, like other classes, will have eight skills available, but now developers prefer to focus on only four of them.:

  • Time Section – A horizontal attack over an area that slows down the enemy and makes him vulnerable.
  • Borrowed time – a force that offers two useful functions at once. Firstly, when it is activated, Trickster receives an additional shield, which is temporarily spent in battle instead of the usual health points. Secondly, when you activate this ability, your character leaves behind a ghost projection, which you can return to at any time by pressing just one button, which opens up access to additional tactical maneuvers.
  • Slow Trap – Thanks to this trick, the Trickster creates a special dome around itself, within which all enemies and projectiles directed towards you slow down significantly. This technique can be used both for attack (for example, capturing a lot of opponents at once) and for defensive purposes (for example, using it to raise a wounded ally to his feet).
  • Hunt for the Sacrifice – this is an opportunity to “mark” the desired enemy, to which you can instantly teleport, simultaneously restoring some of your health. Like all Trickster skills, this ability allows you to use yourself for both defense and attack, thanks to the wide scope for tactical maneuvers.

Despite the fact that each of the Outriders classes can independently cope with almost any threat, People Can Fly clarifies that the full depth of character development can only be felt when playing together, where the combination of skills and abilities gives the gameplay even greater depth.

Each specialization can be developed thanks to a separate skill branch that allows you to grow in one of three areas. In the case of Trickster, this is the “Master of Time”, “Harbinger” and “Killer” – each reflects different gameplay styles. But no one bothers you to pump in several directions at once, creating your own build.

Outriders will go on sale later this year on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
