Best Trickster skills in Assassin's Creed Mirage

The Trickster skill tree in Assassin's Creed Mirage has a total of eight skills. Here are the best ones you need.

• Best early-game Trickster skill: Auto-collect is essential as it saves the hassle of looting an enemy after killing and also reduces chances of missing Dirhams and other essential resources, especially in the early game.
• Best mid-game Trickster skill: Knife Recovery is a Trickster skill you should unlock as soon as you can. Throwing Knife can be your most essential tool while infiltrating, but it is provided in a very limited number. Knife Recovery will let you collect the knives back and throw them again.
• Best end-game Trickster skill: Engineer skill will let you equip a second Tier 1 skill, making your tools even more powerful.
