Effects
The initial description makes it appear that it is chance based, and the original version of this guide claimed that as well. It is not based on chance at all. The trick you remove (usually the last one you performed successfully) determines what the fake FM will be:
- Disable: Green FM (heal)
- Dust in the Eyes: Blue FM (power restore)
- Enrage: Yellow FM (damage over time)
- Counter Defence: Red FM (instant damage)
Using Trickster and applying more than one trick means that when you use Clever Retort, you remove both and perform both FMs simultaneously, unlike the mixed FM that a fellowship performs.
