What are your favorite CoM trinkets?
Most of these are pretty powerful, and even if there are a few bad eggs most of them are absolutely fantastic. I was just wondering what everyone's personal favorites are.

The Broken Key- Probably the single best CoM trinket. It changes Manacles from the game's worst stun into one of the best, alongside a massive ACC buff that practically ensures the Abom will always hit, and all for a measly +10% Stress, which can be negated with his self heal. It's also so cheap that you can get it after completing the first 2 farmstead quests, making a fantastic trinket that can be gotten relatively early in the game.

Ashen Distillation- Just an all-around good trinket for the Plague Doctor. +25% Blight chance makes her much more viable for the Warrens and Weald, and +20 dodge and +20% healing received really help with her poor defenses. Pair that with absolutely no drawbacks and a relatively cheap price and you've got another great trinket. It also pairs fantastically with the Blasphemous Vial, which will practically ensure her blights will land no matter what the enemy is if it's paired with this.

Dirge for the Devoured- In my opinion the single best trinket for the Jester. +25% stress skills on the best stress healer in the game, making his Inspiring tune a massive 15 heal, in addition to buffing Turn Back Time and his other camping skills to some of the best stress heals in the entire game. +25% damage dealt beefs up his damage output to much more respectable numbers, especially in conjunction with his bleeds. And again, the only drawback is 10% stress, which is practically meaningless to him because of the massive stress heal buff.

The Thirsting Blade- +15 ACC, +2 SPD, and extra Crit on bleeding enemies. All of this is absolutely amazing considering the class it's tied to. The Hellion is already one of the best frontliners in the game, and this trinket patches up several of her weakest points, namely her slightly low speed and accuracy. -20% bleed resistance is a bit of a bad consequence, but it's relatively minor. The only truly bad thing about the trinket is that she takes damage every time she misses. Thanks to the ACC buff she almost never misses, but it's still a consequence that should be considered. I personally think it's a price worth paying, but I can perfectly understand why some people don't like this.

I also think that the Crystalline Gunpowder, Petrified Amulet, and Keening Bolts are all very appealing trinkets, but haven't gotten the chance to use them. All of my Highwaymen and Lepers were dead by the time I could afford them and I decided the Bolts were a bit too expensive to be invested in at the time and got the TB instead.

I'm a huge fan of the lens, being able to hit stealthed enemies isn't relevant all of the time but in endless harvest you have to fight a lot of the horses, and if you can kill them before they shuffle you out of their stealthing move it makes life a lot easier.
