The Trickster perks

The 3 perks The Trickster teaches, and that you can unlock for every other killer in the Bloodweb's Shrine of Secrets.

Hex: Crowd ControlMaleficio: Control de masas
"A Hex that ensures those lesser than you are properly herded." Whenever a Survivors performs a Rushed Vault action at a Window, Hex: Crowd Control activates on a random Totem and triggers its effect:
  • Blocks that Window for all Survivors.
  • Increases basic-vault speed of blocked Windows by 15 %
  • Reveals auras of blocked Windows within 24 metres
Hex: Crowd Control has a limit of 4/5/6 Windows it can affect at a time.
The Hex Effects persist until the Hex Totem is either blessed or cleansed by a Survivor, disabling it for the remainder of the Trial. "You have no control. People like you never did." — Ji-Woon Hak
No Way OutSin escapatoria
"You are not going to let just anyone into the VIP room." Whenever you hook a Survivor for the first time, No Way Out gains +1 Token.
Once the Exit Gates are powered, No Way Out activates:
  • Causes the first Survivor to interact with either Exit Gate Switch to trigger a Loud Noise Notification at their location.
Upon triggering the Loud Noise Notification, No Way Out calls upon The Entity for the following effect:
  • Blocks both Exit Gate Switches for 12 seconds.
    • This time is extended by an additional 6/9/12 seconds per accumulated Token, up to a combined maximum of 36/48/60 seconds.
"That sound when you bleed... let me hear it again." — Ji-Woon Hak
StarstruckDeslumbrado
"Your unmatched showmanship dazzles all." Whenever you are carrying a Survivor, Starstruck activates:
  • Causes all other Survivors in your Terror Radius to suffer from the Exposed Status Effect.
    • This effect lingers for 26/28/30 seconds after affected Survivors leave the Terror Radius or Starstruck deactivates.
Starstruck deactivates after hooking or dropping the carried Survivor and has a cool-down of 60 seconds. "Enjoy this moment, few get so close." — Ji-Woon Hak

Gameplay tips
In the open, manage Main Event: the eighth knife injures them and lets you trigger it. Hold M2 and press Ctrl to activate it without lowering your knives; don't pop it if they're heading to a structure.
In early chases, give up tall, strong structures (shack, jungle gyms) and move to easier areas so you don't lose time at the start.
Make use of being 4.6 m/s: in hard areas go full melee and only start throwing knives once you're already close.
