Outriders Worldslayer - Updated BEST Trickster Build! SUPER BROKEN Damage Guide

[@ARMYOFONE92Y]

For people who are struggling to get gear. Try doing trials on level 1 or 2 and farm until you get a good piece of gear or weapon then just level it up to your max level. You will have to do a ton of expeditions to get pods and resources but if you don’t have a problem with that then try it. I was able to get most of my tier 3 mods AND 2 pieces of shield beast gear doing this for a couple hours solo. The gear is level 31 but it won’t be for long.

Will try this, thank you!

[@rositchi5889]

@@emmanuelfrazier7300 I haven't played in a good while but I have pretty good shotguns. It's the armor I'm looking for. The one that gives you more damage when you keep moving.

[@liggmahnutz1213]

Vendor hop. Its what I did to get my first set of gear.

[@ef_robe]

I've tried it today, even I am lacking 2-3 mods and I have apo tier 20, the damage is insane. Need to work a little bit on survivability, but it's very promising.

[@ShiftyNinja]

It’s hard to explain how much this helped me. I went from doing 20,000 damage on tier 14 to 200,000.

[@Meinshake12]

So let me get this straight: PCF tried their best to nerf FP trickster but little did they know... The best AP trickster is an FP trickster Oh the irony

[@niknaheartatak]

Facts

[@Malacite]

FP builds in general seem to suck compared to how AP scales. Sad that there isn't a single Max Health build...

[@Rammbob]

The Rammbob-Strat, huh? :D Thanks for the mention

[@itz_x_salvation395]

Trickster is still the best in the game even after the nerfs lol. Let's go, plus teleporting behind enemies is just beyond epic.

[@arthamosssg]

FYI time rift for tricksters is now bugged. It wont do damage outside of the first hit when used on bosses. After you use it once it wont damage the boss again the next time you use it. DocJoc and I tested this on our streams today.

[@NerixVids]

From the latest patch notes. An update would be nice, is this still the strongest Trickster Build after this nerf? Mage’s Rage Fixed a bug that was causing unforeseen issues with the amount of stacks and the Anomaly Power calculation Fixed a bug that was preventing stacks from dropping away as intended when player's swapped weapons Explanation: Mage’s Rage provided over twice of what it was supposed to give in terms of Anomaly Power. This change sets the mod into the right place power-wise. While this change may feel significant for any players who were exclusively relying on Mage's Rage, our overall balancing has ensured that not all the excess power has been lost. Rather, it has flowed into other mods and combinations in order to provide a greater spread of viable builds.

[@GoodBoyGoneDad]

I started playing Outriders again yesterday and decided to check out your build videos again. I've never played trickster, but I'm going to make one and give it a go. I just need to find a trickster leveling guide. I'm sure you or playdoh have one. 😂

[@Krazyk102pp]

You have single handedly resurrected my trickster, thank you

[@shawbilly77]

Lol dude there are many builds that's are over the top for tricksters

[@PureBrawler]

The only thing I will say about knife vs rift is that you can mod HtP to have no cooldown on targets marked with knife, so you can just teleport around the battlefield with a high bullet damage gun to take advantage of that 30% bonus. Limited us on bosses obviously but it's cool to feel like nightcrawler from the opening scene of X2

[@MrJDriskell]

its even better with the mod that ports you on critical deaths.

[@sh4dow2788]

Ya and add the mod that if you kill your target you got to in under 3 seconds you tele back where you came from it’s fun ll

[@zaoshikung2756]

This build saved my faith with the trickster I was struggling so much to even make anything viable but this build is just amazing thanks for this

[@niknaheartatak]

Thansks for the feedback!¡! Did the new analysis with your input in mind. Killing Mobs: Inferno with Perpetuum/Overwhelming wins but they die from aoe or two shot anyways Killing Elites: Inferno w/P+O wins if you crit Killing bosses: Inferno Specral Spike wins unless you can kill the boss in under 9 seconds Only time Eveningstar beats Inferno with either build is if you do not crit (might as well run DS) which should actually compliment your use of time Rift over venators. Cheers and thanks again for the feedback. Happy trials!

[@frenchy283]

I rolled pretty good gloves. Gauntlets of Cannonball. Captain Hunter (Elites take 16% extra damage) Personal Space (12% close damage) My third ended up being an introvert which increases close range by 2 meters. Only things i need to improve are gloves, boots, and guns.

[@jnickels83]

I started running this with the bulwark with t3 bleed bullets and t3 bleed mod. 10-14M crits. This build is a beast with the right auto shotguns. Distance doesn’t even matter with all the anomaly power really

[@jnickels83]

Oh and my shotgun was 8 levels below my gear and Apoc tier when i started using it at AT27

[@jnickels83]

@@AlexBaffo for sure! Would recommend focusing on general mods like captain hunter personal space and shogun or AR buffs first. The status mods are good but seem to be better on bosses. The general mods will suit you better until you can start the fine tuning. Hope that makes sense, feels kinda rambly lol

[@GAMarine137]

Highly recommend And Another One. Underrated mod especially for Arbiter. Basically infinite ammo. Rather than losing time jumping for more ammo, you can hold down a steady stream of crits to Arbiter.

[@pauldouglasnicholls]

ive been running this and ytou can just keep shooting its great. i got it as a 3rrd perrk on a shieldbeast chest and really glad i did.

[@aaronhandy1579]

Ur damage shoots through the roof every time you hunt the prey or/and timerift so you might as well just hunt the prey every time it’s available for Arbiter

[@pauldouglasnicholls]

Ye but its got a cooldown and cant stack on top if itself so you may as well stand there and shoot.

[@aaronhandy1579]

For me I see much better damage when I hunt the prey and timerift whenever possible especially timerift because of little bit of pain and geigers wave. I only use instant reload when it comes to keeping rounds

[@BlackBourbonKid]

Can you create this build for the new app? That we can copy it easier?

[@yeechienann5279]

Even after the patch, this built still very promising. Since Mage rage has been fixed, i have swap it with fotress mod. Would be good if you can share what is your updated built after the patch. Looking forward ur video!

[@Gregory-pi3oc]

Fax is fortress better than mage rage now

[@KA-mq6vk]

Just want to add, from a little testing I don’t think you actually have to hit anything with your melee for the AP boost. Could be wrong but checking AP after just throwing a melee in the air increases it

[@NickTew]

You're using anomaly echo. The melee has to hit enemies for the 30%

[@KA-mq6vk]

@@NickTew I am using anomaly echo. When I use the melee skill AP goes from 630-809. Which anomaly echo “says” 84,899 (not sure if it’s actually more). Anomaly scything says “activating” as well so it’s a little confusing. 630k-809 isn’t exactly 30% so I’m going to go with your answer 😂 thanks

[@IamSylxr]

0:33 put a slight smile on my face. Its nice to know that you can still use a decently rolled shotty to mess around. In-depth build guide, Nick! Nicely done. Trickster's back up. 😆

[@Khramo]

If you got Problems to Set this up try Spectral Spike in Pax Tree. Isnt as strong but ez Burstdamage without doing much or Snapshotting.

[@niknaheartatak]

That's what I use if I run the shotty, solo clears arbiter in 45 seconds flat so can't complain

[@Felix_Tan]

Is this still viable after the latest update?

[@UnknownRex]

Been using this a bit, it is super powerful. Only downside is you gotta get the buffs going all the time on every map and zone, it just gets a bit of a hassle :P

[@niknaheartatak]

Maxing your shield before popping twisted rounds is the biggest annoyance. Venators with trophy helps, also let's you get easy headshots compared to time Rift which makes headshots harder.

[@Ludak021]

Unless game changed, blue items comes with tier I mods, so you did not get dum-dum on the blue boots... You probably found purple with that mod, not blue :)

[@JohnSmith-sw9vq]

Venators knife with meticulous schemer gives good AOE damage with the trickster

[@NickTew]

Losing perpetuum trickery + 40% more fp conversion just to spec into a worse form of AoE doesn't seem like a good tradeoff

[@kenshin527]

does this build do the same amount of damage if you use an auto shotgun? or should I look elsewhere for a firepower trickster build for that? I'd prefer a solid build that can handle high apoc tiers with only a auto shotgun as that's how I love to play trickster

[@GeminiGiant]

Veniters knife is bugged AF and half the time it doesn't deploy.

[@mydarkpasseng3r]

Still enjoy venators knife. The hive cut mod helps with ad clear.

[@Violentic81]

This guide is great. On the way up to get some great rolls. Wich one is the better mod mage rage or anormaly power?

[@robroskey6515]

Damn some of you guys go deep with this. I've just been playing with same class build as before the dlc, all along the top tree, and trying to find gear and mod combos that work well with it. Never even considered anything but a damage build would do more actaul damage, shows what I kmow. Mine is doing well at my max world tier but nothing like this. I'm a stubborn person and am really bad about experimenting once I find something I like. There's just so much to consider when changing everything that I lose too much game time. My best gun right now is the boulderings pistols with til death do us part, claymore torrent and Nikolas revenge, it's a pretty high percentage roll too, like in the 90s, and it destroys enemies when they're grouped up which I thought was good until I saw this, my shit Is a joke now lol. Might have to try this thanks

[@xBlackOutx21]

As crazy as this build is, the only thing that matters is, if your build something you like and it's fun. I focused on a lightning build for my trickster and all I'm doing is tweaking it to make it better, it may not be the best build but it sure is a fun build. It does damage, I don't die and it's super flashy, it's a win win in my book lol

[@xBlackOutx21]

But the next thing I wanna mess with is a hybrid build like fire and lightning with the trickster or Pyro, not sure which one I'll do it with yet though.

[@spawnsaint8626]

Can you tell me the cap on global cooldown reduction on the trickster please

[@arvandor6820]

Revisiting this game, and I am totally new to Worldslayer. Does this still work or was it nerfed since this video was released? I've been having fun with a quake Devastator, but have been thinking about revisiting my trickster and this build looks awesome. Edit: Seems like they've removed snapshotting on twisted rounds, near as I can tell. I guess that means you can turn them on then go through your buff cycle and not worry about it, but... Then you also can't just keep it on for enemy waves.

[@jonathanhill3607]

Wouldn’t the pain transfer mod work well with this build?

[@matthewbrown2458]

What’s your method for farming anomaly extract?

[@mehdisalah13]

Nice build and thanks for the video ! But something is bothering me it's why dum dum is prio to captain hunter ?

[@viracochaaa]

Seems to me that the pax skill- Power Overwhelming, doesn't stack with the Anomoly Enhancement mod. We can only use one or the other. Or am I missing something?

[@averagezengaming8346]

I was running a similar build, but with today's update, I am leaning towards fortress since it had gotten a buff and mages had been fixed. Last night I was hitting about 4.5 on crits, however today my damage is closer to 2mil on tier 25. I will swap to fortress tonight and see how it compares

[@averagezengaming8346]

After swapping to fortress, damage fell off quite a bit to closer to 1.5 million using the same build. However with the firepower increased in the tree, I feel after more experimenting the conclusion will be to focus on fortress and sharp eye etc.

[@MH0047]

Is there a version of this for us base game players? Cant get the dlc atm but Im looking forward to using this build when I can get it.

[@vintage8215]

How did you get the assault rifle?

[@user-nu7uh6qz3z]

does this build change with the mages rage fix?

[@lilzeddy]

No

[@atomicsymbol2917]

were you able to figure out if the 15% close range damage is more useful than the 10% anom power? when I swapped, felt like my damage dropped a little, think I lost around 10 mil but that could be my mistake on a bad rotation

[@AlexThorin]

Is the whole build bricked now? Or is it still viable? I need to know what else to get instead of Mages Rage. Or maybe it’s still good?

[@onethickcoat4896]

Shield beast could still provide a lot ap, and mages rage, even nerfed, still works bot not op anymore, for usual enemy it works fine, just get little slower for boss fight

[@716lox]

So when I time rift, then follow up with twisted rounds, does it proc that skill tree nod that increases anomaly power after using a deception skill?? (Meaning will my twisted rounds gain additional anomaly damage after using my time rift)!?

[@nickvandervecht9795]

Hi Nick, isnt it better to get vulnerability on HTP and use the Fatal Symbiont? mine has mage rage apoc on it. so i rolled the non Dark Sacrifice skill to Anomaly enhancement. isnt that a seperate 25% multiplier? also the armor pierce from the Fatal Symbiont gets converted to resistance pierce. which also means 15% more AP from Unstoppable Force and 15% more crit damage from Resistance Piercer. So you are Technically trading 30% crit damage for 15% crit damage and 15% AP and 30% more resistance pierce. I'd love to go over what I did with the Trickster Build with you. Started off your original Vid on this build. Kind Regards

[@NickTew]

It's a decent option but you're basically trading all these mods to make it as good as torturer already is. Also it's like 70% CRIT damage on the gun at my apoc level, hard to beat that.

[@akirao2181]

the problem is that I didn't have any final penance ....any advice?

[@ruinprince6610]

is this build also working if i dont have that worldslayer expansion? im new to this game and dont know that much. :)

[@Malacite]

What about running No Resistance Against The Fortified and armor pierce on your guns? Shouldn't that actually give much higher returns (at least on bosses) than crit damage because you're practically nullifying the enemy's damage reduction at that point ? EDIT: Can you make a list of skill that snapshot? It doesn't seem like all skills do, for example Technomancer turrets seem to fluctuate with your AP for the entire duration whereas I can see why TR remains static due to the wording/nature of the skill.

[@RuffRyder]

A bit of constructive criticism for these kind of updated build videos: it would help to highlight what has changed from the previous version of the build, e.g. the skill tree change, the new weapons, etc. Otherwise, keep up the great work.

[@pauldouglasnicholls]

ye I was hyped until it became the same but with higher damage numbers due to being at a higher apoc tier. priority of mods is nice, and appreciate the testing of course

I tried following this guide and it's definitely not the guide's fault but most of my buffs aren't activating, with or without twisted rounds, and they're definitely not snapshotting. I'm only Apoc 12 or 13 atm and I'll be doing 3k per shot with or without activating my skills. With twisted rounds, the damage only goes up to 20k maybe? And then quickly drops off.

[@Optimus_Bull]

It's the devs fault. There was a patch that came not that long afterwards that broke most of the build to some capacity. It's still maybe the best build available, but isn't updated with the patch in mind. That patch made me quit Worldslayer, as it is much more challenging and time consuming to solo Tarya Gratar now. And I'm still missing 1 Steam achievement which is complete the final boss on Tarya Gratar on Apocalypse Tier 25.

[@sidneysnow5096]

Hello NickTew, nice video as ever, big fan here. Why is no one using borrowed time instead of hunt the pray for shield beast fp trickster build? Borrowed time has lower cooldown, generates way more shield and has reduces existing cooldown as well as the next. That‘s a big damage boost, because you have nearly always full shield, more often „a litte bit of pain „ and you don‘t have to repositioning every 10 seconds. You need hunt the pray only for bosses, but of you need more then 60 bosses something is wrong with the build. But when it happens accidently, you just use borrowed to decrease the cooldown

[@NickTew]

Ammo mod, the cooldown only activates when you actually use the skill so you lose a lot of uptime on the extra AP % node, and I like HTP for mobbing. Feel free to use it if you want but I don't like it.

[@sidneysnow5096]

@@NickTew I mean activating and instantly deactivating the skill after using the of the deception skill, so the deception skill lowers by 30 % with the borrowed time T3 Mod. So u have the deception skill much more often and the cooldown from borrowed time is shorter then htp

[@TormodiR]

I am sorry HtP is the GOAT (even with the bugs). It doesn’t need mods to be useful vs. Borrowed time. It covers huge amounts of the field, it dodges and it gives shield. With mods instant reload makes this build practically perfect. If you want vulnerability with trickster use the claws mod, and if you aren’t using it for 30% AP boost then you’re missing one of the stronger points of the trickster. Teleport+ punch+ slow= makes head shots easy…

[@sidneysnow5096]

@@TormodiR I don‘t understand the point with the 30 % ap boost. Am I missing something? If you activate and deactivate borrowed time then you‘re using a mobility skill too and have a damn low cooldown to activate it again… and it gives more shield then HTP plus you decrease the existing cooldown of the deception skill.
