Trinkets are the deepest optimization layer in the game. The right trinket set turns a surviving hero into a thriving one.
Why this matters
Trinkets shift every stat that matters. A well-trinketed party clears content that otherwise wipes.
Step-by-step
- Sort trinkets by what they boost.
- Match trinkets to each hero’s role.
- Prioritize survival trinkets for long dungeons.
- Swap in damage trinkets for boss fights.
- Balance positive and negative trinket effects.
- Upgrade key trinkets at the Blacksmith.
- Re-trinket whenever the party comp changes.
Tips
- Tanks want defense and health trinkets
- Damage dealers want accuracy and crit
- Healers want healing bonus trinkets
- Boss runs justify swapping to offense trinkets
Common mistakes
- Equipping trinkets without reading the drawbacks
- One trinket set for every dungeon
- Ignoring negative effects
- Never re-trinketing as the game changes
Practical notes
Trinkets add survivability like resist or guard, so equip the fragile hero with protective trinkets. A guarded hero lasts longer. Match trinkets to the dungeon threat. A prepared hero resists the local hazard. Equip protective trinkets on the fragile hero and match the dungeon threat.
A guarded or resistant hero lasts longer against the local hazard and avoids the affliction that ends runs. Equip the quirk-removing trinket if the hero has a bad one, and stack defensive trinkets on the back line. A prepared hero resists what would otherwise kill it.
