Battlegrounds Trinkets
Trinkets are permanent passive bonuses in Battlegrounds that cost gold to activate and last the entire game once purchased. Every player is offered Trinkets at two key moments — Turn 6 for a Lesser Trinket and Turn 9 for a Greater one. The system debuted in Patch 30.2 (August 2024), was shelved during Season 12, and is making a full comeback with a rework in Season 13.
Lesser & Greater Trinkets
Lesser Trinkets — Turn 6
Your first Trinket offering. Choose one of four options, each with its own gold cost. Lesser Trinkets are cheaper and provide steady bonuses — extra stats, small economy boosts, or early tribe synergy.
Greater Trinkets — Turn 9
The second offering arrives mid-game with more powerful and expensive options. Greater Trinkets can define your entire strategy — scaling engines, board-wide passives, or powerful type-specific effects.
How the Offering Works
- You choose from 4 options each time — each Trinket has a gold cost that reduces your shopping budget for that turn
- At least one option costs 2 gold or less, at least one is neutral, and at least one matches a minion type
- Type-specific Trinkets appear when you control 2+ minions of that type
- Having 3+ different types puts you in the Menagerie pool
- A Pivot Trinket is a type-specific option offered outside your main build — it costs 2 gold less to compensate
General Rules
- Trinkets are passive — once purchased, they activate automatically with no further action
- Each player gets exactly one Lesser and one Greater Trinket per game
- Your active Trinkets are always visible — look for them next to your hero portrait on the left side
- Trinkets remain active for the entire game after purchase
- Some Trinkets require specific board states to be offered (e.g., Deathrattle minions, Divine Shield minions, golden minions, or minimum board size)
