The {{FULLPAGENAME}} is a trinket that is found in [[Caves#Plains_Caves|Plains Cave]] chests. 
This trinket increases the damage of each summoned unit based on the number of unused summons.

As a general rule of thumb, 
* For '''3 to 8''' maximum summons: Summon units equal to half of your maximum summons, rounded up.
* For '''9 to 12''' maximum summons: Summon '''5''' units.
* For 1, 2 or 13+ maximum summons: '''Don't''' use the trinket.

For example, if you can have 7 maximum summons, summon only 4 units. With this trinket, your damage output will be roughly equivalent to having 10 summons without it.

== Inner Working ==
The ''bonus damage percentage'' is calculated as follows:

Each summon slot is assigned a ''bonus damage percentage'', starting at '''+100%''', and reduced by '''10%''' for each consecutive slot upto your maximum number of slot.

'''Example'''

If you have maximum 5 summon slots available, the bonus assigned are:
* 1st Summon Slot : 100%
* 2nd Summon Slot: 90%
* 3rd Summon Slot: 80%
* 4th Summon Slot: 70%
* 5th Summon Slot: 60%

For each summon slot you '''use''', you lose that slot’s associated bonus. The remaining bonuses are summed for your final total bonus damage percentage.

So, if you summon '''3 units''', you lose bonuses of '''first three slots''' (100%, 90%, 80%). The remaining bonus of 4th and 5th unused summon slots are summed for the final bonus percentage damage: 70% + 60% = '''+130%''' total bonus damage.

Each summon unit's damage is therefore '''increased''' by 130%.

To clearly see the benefit, assume that your summon unit can do '''100 DPS (damage per second)'''.
* Without the trinket, summoning all 5 units gives: 100 × 5 = '''500 Total DPS'''
* With the trinket, summoning 3 units gives each unit +130% damage bonus
** Unit Damage: 100 × (1 + 1.3) = 230 DPS per unit;
** Total Damage: 230 x 3 = '''690 Total DPS'''.

That's equivalent to the damage output of '''6.9 summons''' without the trinket.

Abhioxic: Added the detailed working of the trinket, as well as added a more clear TLDR than the previous one. Also added the original reddit post as source. Update: Had to remove the reddit link due to getting flagged as spam.
