 * +3 pierce to range attacks.

Strategy
Finn's Crossbow is a very powerful Trinket in the hands of a willing character, providing an additional three pierce to any ranged attacks of a character. In a Trinket landscape where an additional four pierce to every kind of attack is worthy of a Super Rare status in the Trident, Finn's Crossbow serves only a single pierce less while being two rarity tiers lower than the Trident.

As it is specified to only be on characters with ranged attacks, equipping to characters like Finn or Jake, whom own no major form of ranged offense outside abilities and trinkets, will not have the benefit of the trinket active and thus making it a waste of the trinket and the trinket slot it occupies. Inversely, characters with many ranged attacks like Max or Sai can increase their pierce significantly.

There are also cases where characters will have partial benefit to Finn's Crossbow, such as Flame Princess. Her normal attack is ranged and would be applicable to the ranged attack pierce bonus, but subsequent upgrades like her Fire Sword may lead to conflict with the bonus and not be applied to that attack specifically.

Trivia

 * Finn's Crossbow is based on the weapon in the Adventure Time series of the same name.
