\n

Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier<\/a> began its fourth season recently, and with the Variant Mode event that had allowed players to play as Sephiroth<\/a> wrapped up, an all-new Style Mastery was added: Trickster. With the game almost approaching 10 Mastery Styles, Trickster is definitely one of, if not the best, Mastery Style for players to use.<\/p>\n

Trickster is a suave and dapper Style joining Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier. With its melee attacks using cards to slash, throw, and explode on impact, it really has made a name for itself with its powerful Mastery Style in comparison to the other newly added Mastery Styles such as Dragoon alongside Machinist already present in the game. We will break down how to effectively play Trickster, its best Materia choices, which of its two Skills to use, and more in this guide.<\/p>\n

When completing the Trickster’s melee combo, you can launch several exploding cards at enemies to stagger them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Melee Attacks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Trickster has a three-window melee combo. First, the user does a quick forward slash using its card that propels the player in the direction. The second part of its combo is two quick slashes in a row that move the user forward. If the full combo is used, then Trickster leaps back slightly and throws several cards that explode on impact.<\/p>\n

It is one of the faster melee attack combos in the game and provides excellent capabilities on enemy players or even effectively against grouped-up monsters such as Security Guards or Hedgehog Pies. The full combo at the end will push away any enemies caught in the card explosion and gives you enough of a distance to switch to a gun or cast Materia, while the enemy is then displaced to recover.<\/p>\n

Trait<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Trickster\u2019s passive trait is Gold Trick. Gold Trick rewards you with Gil upon each level up. It’s very simple and encourages players to immediately spend Gil at Vending Machines to upgrade their weapons, cards, and purchase potions or ammo. More crucially, Gold Trick also increases the critical hit rate from your melee attacks alongside reducing your Ability\u2019s cooldown in accordance with the total amount of Gil collected.<\/p>\n

As they say, more money means more solutions. Being able to constantly generate Gil aids in surviving much longer throughout the match, and allows more advantages by having the means to receive stronger equipment or accessories.<\/p>\n

Optimal Ability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are two Abilities to choose from as Trickster.<\/p>\n
