A Tier A Tier trinkets have solid bonuses that are great in specific situations only, such as being low HP, gliding, or particularly good in co-op play.
B Tier B Tier trinkets might only be good with one particular creature type or come with significant debuffs.

Best Trinket for Rouge

Trinket Tier and Mods
Grounded 2 - Volatile CapacitorVolatile Capacitor Base Tier: Tier II
Mods: Shock Attack and Haywire

Melee Rogue builds greatly benefit from the Volatile Capacitor’s bonus shock damage with melee weapons, boosting overall DPS. It’s especially effective against O.R.C. creatures, providing a charge attack buff for an extra bit of crowd control and damage.

Mods: Friendly Fire Defense Up and Major Threat

For playing solo, the Roach Rage trinket is excellent in clutch moments when you're low on HP, giving you bonus damage to finish off enemies. You'll often hit low HP, especially when trading blows with tough opponents.

The Sturdy Shell is a great alternative for multiplayer co-op for its reduced incoming friendly fire damage and extra aggro generation, ideal for those who want to play a tank role.

The Nifty Needle boosts the damage of fully charged bow shots, to significantly boost ambush attacks. It pairs perfectly with bows in a stealth archer build, where you'll often be charging shots aimed at unaware prey.

Mods: Finale Damage

Astonishing Acid is especially effective when paired with a mage staff with another element, adding extra elemental damage to make your staff more versatile in combat.

Other trinkets that enhance the third hit of weapon combos work well with candy staves, further boosting their powerful three-hit chains.
