Content Update: The Trinket Trials

Step into the Trinket Trials, where your progress and mastery forge your arsenal.

⚙️ System Rework

The entire Trinket system has been rebuilt from the ground up. Previously, players could pick 1 out of 3 randomly offered trinkets from a pool of about 15. Now, you’ll be choosing between 80 unique trinkets, all tied to your personal progression. Steam post image

💎 Trinket Collection

• 80 total trinkets, from starting with a specific Blob to launching Battle Start effects twice!

• Lots of new effects, allowing wild builds! Be creative!

• No more random offers! Your build, your choice.

There are three distinct Trinket types:

• Power: Enhance gameplay with direct bonuses.

• Challenge: Increase difficulty in exchange for higher XP multipliers.

• Class: Special trinkets tied to each class.

🔓 Unlock Progression

Trinkets are unlocked through XP earned during runs, increased by:

• Battles won

• Difficulty selected

• Challenge Trinkets

Class Trinkets require you to win Campaign runs with each class! Reach level 50 and play with all classes to unlock them all! Steam post image

🧪 Introducing: The Poison Blob

A deadly new ranged Troop joins the roster! The Poison Blob siphons 🛡️ from adjacent allies and itself, converting the stolen defense into pure ⚔️ power. A high-risk, high-reward damage dealer for creative, aggressive builds.
