[p]Hello everyone![/p][p][/p][p]We’re super thrilled to announce that The Trinket Trials update is now live, along with a featured Steam Daily Deal and a special 35% discount! 🥳[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]
[/p][h2]Content Update: The Trinket Trials[/h2][p]Step into the Trinket Trials, where your progress and mastery forge your arsenal.

[/p][h3]⚙️ System Rework[/h3][p]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.

[/p][h3]💎 Trinket Collection[/h3]

• [p]80 total trinkets, from starting with a specific Blob to launching Battle Start effects twice![/p]
• [p] Lots of new effects, allowing wild builds! Be creative![/p]
• [p]No more random offers! Your build, your choice.
  [/p]

[p]
There are three distinct Trinket types:[/p]

• [p]Power: Enhance gameplay with direct bonuses.[/p]
• [p] Challenge: Increase difficulty in exchange for higher XP multipliers.[/p]
• [p]Class: Special trinkets tied to each class.
  [/p]

[h3]🔓 Unlock Progression[/h3][p]
Trinkets are unlocked through XP earned during runs, increased by:[/p]

• [p] Battles won[/p]
• [p] Difficulty selected[/p]
• [p] Challenge Trinkets
  [/p]

[p]Class Trinkets require you to win Campaign runs with each class!

Reach level 50 and play with all classes to unlock them all!

[/p][h3]🧠 Hidden Potential[/h3][p]Reached the maximum level already? It’s only the beginning! Choose multiple Trinkets and find the best combo or face the hardest challenges!

[/p][h3]🏆 Achievements[/h3][p]10 new achievements introduced to celebrate your milestones in the Trinket Trials.

[/p][h3]📖 Catch-up Mechanics[/h3][p]Already a veteran in the game? Start at an already advanced level to test Trinkets and get closer to the maximum level faster!


But wait - there's more!

[/p][h3]💠 9 New Boss Souls[/h3][p]Face new foes, unlock new powers — a full set of 9 fresh Boss Souls has been added to enrich late-game builds and mastery paths.

[/p][h3]🧪 Introducing: The Poison Blob[/h3][p]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.

[/p][h3]🎵 Endless Music[/h3][p]Endless Mode now features its own dedicated music loop to set the tone for long runs.

[/p][h3]General[/h3]

• [p] Improved the clarity of new Unlocked elements, specifying if it’s a Class, a Difficulty, a Mode, a Trinket or a Feature.[/p]
• [p] Added a tooltip to explain difficulties, showing the Tile cost, the maximum damage you can take in a normal battle, and the bonus XP you’ll receive

Hello everyone!

We've got a new update we're pushing on experimental branch - as there's a lot of new content, we'll be happy to get your feedback on it!

As a reminder, you can hop on the experimental branch by going to the game's properties in your Steam library, and then in the tab "beta", you can select the "experimental" beta test program. Careful though, as you'll remain on this branch until you hop off of it! Be sure to remember to switch back to default when the update will be out!

To give us feedback and/or to see the full patchnote, please join Goblinz' Discord server and you should see the Knightica section.
