Join CommunitySummary
The Red By Daylight: Scarlet League announced the "Trickster Update - Blade & Style," detailing significant mechanical changes to the Trickster's Blade throwing, Laceration system, and introducing a new "Style Points" and "Style Ranks" system. These updates aim to alter the Trickster's combat flow by modifying movement speed based on consecutive throws, streamlining Laceration mechanics, and rewarding skillful, varied gameplay with Style Ranks that grant bonuses. This patch fundamentally reworks...
After 16 consecutive Blade throws, Throw State movement speed is decreased to 3.16 m/s.
- Increase Blade throw rate per Blade thrown:
After 8 consecutive Blade throws, the throw rate increased by 50%.
After 16 consecutive Blade throws, the throw rate is increased by 100%.
Laceration
