Appearance
This Trinket is depicted as large, wide, black or dark gray chunks of coal consisting of three pieces of varying sizes but similar appearances. One piece is large, another is tiny, and the last is minuscule, appearing to have broken off from one of the other pieces. The smallest piece rests between its larger neighbors.
Strategies
Coal is an overall bad Trinket as it does not provide any benefits, therefore its usage should be avoided altogether. Even its usage as a distractor Trinket is not worth it given Scrapbook already does the job better as it does not reduce speed.
The one scenario where equipping this Trinket might be mildly viable is if you are playing as a Toon with very high Movement Speed and high or average Stealth (e.g. Pebble or Razzle & Dazzle on odd Floors) and intend to act as a distractor. However, not even Dog Plush can fully deplete its speed debuff, instead leaving the user with a -1% Walk Speed debuff alongside the -10% Run Speed, meaning it is truly not worth it.
If you are really looking for a challenge, consider using this Trinket in combination with Brick while playing as Shrimpo, Soulvester, or Connie.
Trivia
Coal holds several unusual distinctions among all Trinkets in the game.
- Coal is the second Trinket that is purely disadvantageous to equip, with the first being Brick.
- This is also the first Trinket that decreases Stealth, with the second being Scrapbook. Coincidentally, they are both Holiday Trinkets.
- Coal is the first and currently only Trinket to have the exact same title as its respective Toon.
- Coal was originally made because players wanted a way to distract better by lowering their Stealth, and Qwel added reduced Movement Speed as a downside.
- Coal originally reduced your Movement Speed by 20%, but it was lowered to 10% in the 2025 Christmas Event.
- Using Coal with Scrapbook and combining it with Shrimpo will increase his Stealth Stat to -84.645 instead, because if a negative number is subtracted by a percentage, the number will instead increase.
