· A total of 4 new traits have been added with the FC Online July 9th patch: Trickster, Laser Shooter, Predator, and Deadeye.
· Generally, Trickster is used for forwards, Laser Shooter for attacking midfielders and wingers, Predator for defensive midfielders, and Deadeye for defending against mid-range shots.
· This video analyzes and explains the usage of each trait in detail.

· The Trickster trait allows for direction changes without delay when beating a defender, making it advantageous for creating 1-on-1 chances.
· Especially when a defender or man-marker is close, changing direction by 90 degrees maintains smooth ball control, facilitating consecutive actions.
· A 45-degree change can cause the ball to pop up, so utilizing the 90-degree turn is key.

· When the Trickster activates, changing direction by 90 degrees allows for smooth play without delay when facing the opponent's tackle.
· If you change direction at a 45-degree angle, the ball might lift off your foot, making the next action less fluid.
· You need to cut in at a 90-degree angle so the ball doesn't lift off your foot and connects smoothly to a shot.

· The Trickster trait can do more than just score goals; it can also put psychological pressure on the opponent.
· You can use psychological tactics, like faking a Trickster to play after the opponent has retreated, or observing the opponent's movements to decide whether to use it.
· If the opponent doesn't move, it's also effective to push forward without using the Trickster.

· The Predator trait significantly enhances defensive stability.
· By using the C key for acceleration, you can effectively block passing lanes defensively and perform Q-tackles simultaneously.
· The Predator trait is useful for blocking opponents infiltrating the central area.

· The Laser Shooter trait is effective when attacking from the sides towards the defensive midfielder, forming a triangle.
· It's suitable for short passes between defensive midfielders to utilize space and connect through passes into open areas.
· If you prefer aggressive defensive midfielder play, using the Laser Shooter trait is recommended.

· The Laser Shooter trait is useful for passing sequences where a winger makes a long run, passes back to the defensive midfielder, and then passes forward again.
· By creating a wide angle towards the defensive midfielder, you can maximize the effect of the Laser Shooter trait.
· It helps in utilizing various routes during attacks.

· For Trickster, it's important to maintain smooth ball control with 90-degree direction changes when a defender or man-marker is close, linking into dribbles.
· Predator is effective for blocking opponent passing lanes and solid defense in pocket spaces by utilizing acceleration during defense.
· Laser Shooter is used to create angles and initiate psychological plays during attacks, or to create wide angles as a defensive midfielder for through passes.

· If you want aggressive defensive midfielder play, Laser Shooter is recommended, while for defensive stability, Predator is a good choice.
· Predator specializes in blocking opponent infiltrations and solid defense in pocket spaces using acceleration with the C key.
· It's important to choose and utilize the desired trait based on your playstyle.

· The Deadeye trait increases the save rate against mid-range shots.
· It doesn't save all mid-range shots, but it contributes to a higher save rate by positioning correctly and reacting quickly.
· If you are weak against mid-range shots or feel insecure during free-kick situations, the Deadeye trait can be a good option.

· With the recent nerf to consecutive Trickster activations, Linebreaker still shows near top-tier performance.
· While Trickster can be used, its tier may be considered lower compared to Linebreaker.
· For defensive midfielders, Laser Shooter is recommended for offense, while Predator or Fighter are recommended for defense.

· Predator is mainly used to block opponent passing lanes and defend pocket spaces using acceleration with the C key.
· Fighter is effective for sticking close to the opponent and successfully defending with man-marking, and is useful when you prefer aggressive defending.
· Fighter can be used to dispossess opponents during man-marking and block infiltrations with leg tackles.

· For fullbacks, Chaser and Fighter traits are expected to be the most effective.
· By utilizing the strengths of each trait, you can improve the defensive and attacking contribution of your fullbacks.
· Consider the new traits comprehensively to complete your optimal team composition.
