Fiesta Fan Forums - Trickster

So, as you know the Trickster class was released in last night's (this morning's) patch.

Here are some tidbit information from playing the class briefly (up to level 15; trying not to out level King Slime T_T).

Fast attack rate
High critical rate
High evasion
Number of DoT (single-target) skills
Unique soul capture system

But of course there are some downsides to the class as well.

Low (and I mean low) defense and HP
No ranged attacks
No AoE (may change in the future but for now none)
Souls are only generated by skill and is renewed with each mob
- Though the finishers are pretty strong so it may balance out
Apparently gear is non-tradeble at the moment (heard at forums/in-game)

So it's an extremely squishy melee class. It's a kill or be killed sort of thing. They would most likely excel in 1v1 and will focus on skill spam. Both my HP/SP stones are making me cry right now... if you plan on playing this class for awhile you'll want to be able to create your own potions as well as expand that stone capacity.

Stats-wise you're looking at STR, DEX, SPR. As I usually have recommended in the past, if you don't carry a shield don't invest in END free stats. Get high END gear if you need HP and enhance for defense or in the case of the Trickster, spam your skills before your enemy knows what hit em.

Weapon choice is claws or dual swords. Claws have higher Aim and Critical Rate with faster attack rate at 1.6s. Dual Swords have higher damage but lower Aim, Critical Rate and slower attack rate at 1.8s.

All in all, a fun class to play. Love the fast attack rate.

Oh, I heard that the other classes have received a bit of a re-vamp with skill animation. They are so shiny and awesome looking that it lags the hell out of the game. This incapacitates a lot of the Archers' kiting it seems. I must say as an older game Fiesta makes me lag more than Forsaken World or any other new gen games. .__.
