The Trickster is a close-range class that's fast, so fast that it can easily hit and run from targets before they know what happened. Choosing the Trickster class will allow you to deal damage and inflict Slow to all nearby enemies with every melee and recover health and shield whenever an enemy is killed in close range. The Trickster also receives these class traits:

  • Receive additional 5% maximum Health.
  • Active Shield grants 5% damage mitigation.
  • Every close-range kill heals you by 20% of your maximum Health and grants you 12% Shield.
