Defense Badge
Tier 2 Damage Resist | -effect = Attack Damage
Defense Badge is a Tier 2 trinket in Grounded. Its effect is Damage Resist. In-game it is described as: "A badge from an Ominent scientist, granting access to their specific department of work."
A trinket occupies a utility slot — it grants a passive effect rather than raw armor or damage, so it competes with your damage and survival perks for that slot.
The effect it grants is Damage Resist, which is what you are really equipping it for; the slot is better spent here than on a trinket whose effect you will not trigger.
It is found in Haze_Lab.
Verdict: Overall Defense Badge is a Tier 2 trinket best used when its Damage Resist effect fits the fight ahead.
