Death by daily has a varied cast, from an old-school Wild West abundance hunter to a Japanese schoolgirl who becomes tormented spirit. However, no one is quite like the new killer of the game. The Trickster is a sexy K-pop star who loves murder more than music, and he looks like he’s ready to act. Unlike the other monsters of the horror game, he is not covered with dirt, he does not wear a mask or he is very scarred. Visually, he’s a big fresh air – and his design already has fans who want more.
The Trickster is not the first Death by daily Killer to get a fan of adoring fans. The Legion and Ghostface are both hugely popular killers, and they have inspired fans fiction and fanfare from players who want to imagine their lives outside of the 4v1 competitive game. However, the Trickster is in a league – he has already made a big splash and he has not even been officially released yet.
‘I love the trickster, because the first time he cut for me, I knew he could [murder] me and I will thank him for that, ”says CollapsingStar, a long time Death by daily fan who spoke to Polygon via Twitter. “I mostly play survivor, but I definitely think he’s my favorite Killer now!”
Not everyone is a big fan of the Trickster; he is a bit of a polarizing character. Some players have compared him to Jared Leto’s Joker, and others think he looks wild out of place among the rest of the Killers. After all, he joins a gang of people wearing jute, chopped hoodies and horrible masks.
A fan named Sunny, who created the artwork above, was in the Death by daily community for more than three years. She is also a TikTok content creator focusing on slashher fandom. ‘We’ve seen the common killer designs for DbD, ”She wrote to Polygon about Twitter messages. ‘Dull colors, all beaten, dirty, lots. Even murderers appear to be inhuman. ”
The Trickster, on the other hand, is absolutely silent. Of course he has blood on him, but that’s fine. This is OK! It is this contrast with the rest of the cast that makes it so satisfying for many fans. “He’s unique and bold and I love that. “Something about the bright colors and a cleaner look just makes him look very pleasant,” said Sunny.
He is very unique, but it does not hurt that he is a beautiful boy.
The story of the Trickster makes it clear that he absolutely belongs to all the cannibals and serial killers Death by daily. He left his original bandmates to die in a fire … which could not be proven criminal, but it still is not wonderful behavior. Then he started killing people and mixing his songs with their screams. Not good! After reducing his creative control, he went on to kill all but one of his producers – she’s the game’s new Survivor.
For Death by daily fans, the Trickster is a terrible person, it’s all part of the fun. It’s great to think of him being hampered by the rest of the Killers of the game, or thinking about his relationship with his producers. It’s a fun, pulpy horror with a new twist, and it’s enough to spin fans’ imaginations.
