Trinkets in Windblown, the multiplayer roguelite developed by Motion Twin, are powerful abilities that can be equipped to your Leaper that can drastically alter the flow of combat. These trinkets can have a variety of effects, from damaging foes to inflicting them with debilitating status effects.
Windblown can be played alone or with up to three players, and each are able to equip up to two trinkets per character. Certain trinkets synergize best with others and with the other abilities you will acquire during each run, leading to many potential strategies. No two runs in Windblown are exactly the same.
8
Bomb
Damage Enemies
Bomb turns you into the weapon, dealing a whopping 350 damage to all enemies who are around your Leaper. This is a powerful yet simple tool that can be used to quickly escape from a bad situation. This trinket also has a tactical use: damage larger enemies or finish off groups of less powerful foes.
Your positioning will determine the best time to use this ability. The simplicity of this trinket also makes it one of the most versatile. Its cooldown is 35 seconds.
7
Leafade
Become Invisible
Leafade is a trinket that can be used in an offensive or defensive capacity. When triggered, you will become temporarily invisible to all enemies and your next attack will deal 100 percent bonus damage.

The cooldown for this ability is one of the lowest in the game, as it can be used again after only ten seconds. Use Leafade to avoid incoming damage or give yourself some time to regroup. This makes it a powerful tool for hit-and-run tactics, but requires a more active combat style.
6
Detonado
Attracts Enemies
Detonado is a trinket that places a bomb that will attract enemies towards it before exploding. The explosion deals 150 damage and the cooldown is 35 seconds. Like Leafade, this trinket can also be used to give you time to escape combat while your enemies are distracted.
This explosion does less damage than the Bomb trinket, but will allow you to distance yourself from the fight while doing so. In a game as fast and Windblown, every second counts.
5
Frost Nova
Freezes Enemies
The Frost Nova trinket can be used to both slow and damage enemies. All enemies in the area surrounding your Leaper will be hit with the Freeze status effect, freezing them in place and opening them up for an attack that can deal 50 percent increased damage.

Like Detonado, this has the potential for offensive and defensive strategies. It can be used when overwhelmed, or to open up groups of enemies to devastating attacks using the bonus damage that the Freeze status effect allows. The cooldown for this trinket is 30 seconds.
4
Curse Trap
Increases Damage Against Enemies
Curse Trap is a trinket that can maximize the damage you will do to any foes within its area of effect. Enemies within the affected zone will be penalized with the Final Curse status effect, equivalent to ten stacks of the Curse status effect.
One stack of Curse increases your damage bonus by four percent, and Final Curse doubles that for four seconds. Within the zone of Curse Trap, Final Curse applies once every half a second. The cooldown for this trinket is 25 seconds.
3
Death Orb
Damages Enemies In Path
Use of the Death Orb trinket will send out a projectile that deals 117 damage per second to any enemy that is within the path. How effective this trinket can be will depend on your timing and aim. At best it can deal large amounts of damage to a number of foes, and at worst it can miss them all.

2
Goo Bomb
Traps And Damages Enemies
The Goo Bomb trinket will inflict enemies with the Goo status effect and damage them for four seconds at a rate of 40 damage per second for a total of 160 damage. Like Frost Nova, this can be used to freeze groups of enemies, but unlike that trinket, the damage will be applied to foes automatically.
Goo Bomb allows you to escape from combat and also deal with groups of enemies simultaneously, making it a good choice for multitasking — a necessary skill in Windblown. The cooldown for Goo Bomb is 35 seconds.
1
Burn Aura
Increase The Damage Of Yourself And Allies
Using the Burn Aura trinket will create an explosion around your Leaper that will apply five stacks of the Burn status effect on all foes within the explosion, dealing five DPS per stack. Every enemy affected by the Burn status will be dealt half a point of damage for four seconds, with a maximum of 15 stacks.
Additionally, all nearby allies will gain the Burn Infusion effect, granting their weapons and abilities the Burn status also. Burn Aura can be used every 30 seconds.
