A good way to cheese the ricochet bonus effects is to just bounce a blade off the ground and up to the survivor (if the positioning allows it of course)
I always felt like Tricker did not need so many reworks, all they needed was Trick blades basekit. It would make them Unique along the range killer roster and not just a weird range killer that kind of just walks you down.
Trickster is amazing but after he became 4.4 he's barely playable for me. Without like batteries or some undetectable perks he is just UGHHHH they will just pre-run because they can and it feels like cancer to play around this. NA survs are easy asfff
Fun fact, you can also delay the combo decay by refilling knives. If I am in s tier and camping a hook to tunnel someone with main event, I will continuously throw one knife and then refill blades so that my s tier lasts longer
