Nifty Needle
Tier 1 Charged Shot Damage
Nifty Needle is a Tier 1 trinket in Grounded. Its effect is Charged Shot Damage. In-game it is described as: "A very useful thistle needle that increases the damage of fully charged bow shots."
A trinket occupies a utility slot โ 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 Charged Shot Damage, 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.

Verdict: Overall Nifty Needle is a Tier 1 trinket best used when its Charged Shot Damage effect fits the fight ahead.
A very useful thistle needle that increases the damage of fully charged bow shots.
