:fire: Developer Insight - Trinkets!

Trinkets Overview

Trinkets are special passive power-ups that you buy with Gold and use for the rest of the game. Trinkets are offered twice per game: on turn 6 (Lesser Trinkets) and turn 9 (Greater Trinkets). Each offering, you’ll get 4 Trinkets to choose from.

• Trinket Offerings: The four choices are always distinct, and some Trinkets have a Lesser and a Greater version of themselves.
• Trinket Pool: The overall pool of Trinkets is modified by the minion types in the game, your warband, and your hero power.
• Type Tags: Some Trinkets have an internal tag that ties them to a particular minion type, and you’ll get at least one Trinket with a type tag in each offering.
• Minion Type Requirement: You need 2 minions of a type for the lesser trinket and 3 minions for the greater trinket.
• Hero-Specific Trinkets: Certain heroes always have particular typed Trinkets in their pool, even without minions of that type.
• Trinket Cost: Most Trinkets cost 1-4 Gold, with at least one costing 2 or less in each offering.
