Trickster
AI tendency to execute step-overs, feints, and skill moves when dribbling 1v1 against defenders.
Tactical Behavior & AI Mechanics
Trickster is an AI Playing Style that governs individual dribbling behavior. Players with this trait automatically perform skill moves—such as step-overs, double-touches, and maradona turns—when isolated 1v1 against an opposition defender.
This style causes the AI to hold onto the ball slightly longer to bait defenders into committing, opening up space for sudden acceleration past the outside.
