The Trickster (Japanese: トリックスター Trickster) is an advanced class debuting in Fire Emblem Awakening. It is one of the class change options available to Thieves, and acts as a mixed class with access to both swords and staves. While comparatively lacking in both of its offensive stats, with magic being the higher of the two, it excels in skill and speed and possesses good resistance.

The class appears in Three Houses as downloadable content, as part of the Cindered Shadows side story. It becomes available in the main story after completing the first chapter of this side story.

Trivia

• Every named enemy Trickster in Awakening wields a Levin Sword at some point, as do most of the generic enemy ones. Furthermore, Anna is the only Trickster in the game who doesn't wield a Levin Sword by default; however, she is depicted as wielding one against Havetti in a piece of artwork in the Fire Emblem Background website.
• Although Tricksters share the same idle stance as the Hero class in Three Houses while wielding a sword, their attack animations are distinctly different from the latter. This contrasts towards other classes that share the same attack animations and idle stance while wielding certain weapons such as the Swordmaster and Mortal Savant class.
