Windblown: Beginner tips and tricks
These tips and tricks can help you perform better during the runs, find more materials for upgrades, and increase your chances of success in Windblown.
Then there are subweapons called Trinkets, and fans of Dead cells should be familiar with its mechanics. Players cannot spam these trinkets like regular weapons. Instead, they work on cooldowns like abilities in RPGs. There is a lot in it Wind blown Early Access right now, and these that will make the runs better. Try to track them on the double, which admittedly requires some luck.
8 Blade Storm
Surround yourself with a wind tower
Blade Storm should not be confused with the spinoff game Musou Bladestorm: The Hundred Year War. Instead, Windblown's Blade Storm will surround the player with an aura of wind that will cut enemies that travel into it. It's a useful trinket because it protects the player while dealing damage, and there aren't too many similar trinkets so far in the Early Access build. Players will probably find this one very early and it will probably show up a lot as well. When facing hordes of enemies like in arena-based rooms, Blade Storm is a solid trinket to equip.
7 Boing fish
Bounce away to attack enemies
The Boing Fish is technically not a trinket as it belongs in a category all its own. It's a Magifish and players can trigger it with the right trigger on their controller. It goes on cooldowns like Trinkets, and there are only three in the game so far, so let's count this anyway. Now all three Magifish are awesome and much stronger than any Trinket in the game. Protector Fish can make players invincible and Gobbling Fish will eat opponents and then explode. Boing Fish is the best because it is a mix of the two. Players can rush into it, causing players to bounce off and strike down enemies. This action will keep players invincible while performing it and it does a lot of damage. In a boss fight, this can destroy any of them quickly.
6 Bomb
Do exactly as it says
Bomb is not an exciting name for a Trinket but it is a powerful one regardless. Players can throw out a literal bomb that will explode for a large amount of damage in a small area. In a normal group of enemies this will probably destroy the whole party if they are aimed well or at least get them close to death.

How Windblown compares to dead cells
Motion Twin's Windblown has some key similarities but also obvious differences when looking at it in comparison to its previous title, Dead Cells.
It's also good for boss fights if players want to get a good grip on them. There's not much to this trinket as it's simple and straight to the point and does exactly what it needs to: explode.
5 Burn Aura
Add fire effects to weapons
Burn Aura has a few different effects when players activate the Trinket. It will create an aura around the player that will explode when the timer runs out. It's an okay part of the trinket, but the real treat is imbuing weapons with fire which will then damage enemies with the Burn status effect. Pokémon players will know exactly what this does as Burn will damage enemies with fire damage over time. The more times players hit an enemy with Burn, the stronger the damage. There are other status effects in Windblown that players can give their weapons as well like Bleed or Curse, but Burn is a top tier example.
4 Death Orb
Create an orb that follows and attacks enemies
Death Orb is a great name in addition to being a strong Trinket. Once activated, a spinning top of doom will roam the battlefield attacking enemies at random. Its spinning blades aren't terribly powerful, but the sustained blows will do damage quickly. The area of effect is what players will want this Trinket for the most. It's kind of like adding an AI buddy to a match when players don't want to deal with others in co-op sessions. It's a decent option although the Death Orb won't last forever.
3 Detonated
Suck in enemies and explode
If it's a thing Wind blown is good at, it's making puns from item names to dialogue prompts. Detonado is a good example as this reverse tornado will suck in enemies before exploding. It's more of a black hole then than a typical tornado, but either way it's effective. If players are lucky, they might want to use Detonado to lure enemies together and then unleash Blade Storm to finish them off.

How to play with friends in Windblown
Players can eventually unlock the option to play multiplayer in Windblown. This guide goes over how to do it.
There's a huge amount of combos that players can pull off in Windblown, which is a roguelike that seemingly delights in combo attacks thanks to the weapon-based Alterattack skill. It's not as strong as the Bomb, but Detonado is still a powerful Trinket.
2 Frost Nova
Freezes enemies in an area
One of the best elemental effects in Dead cells was ice as weapons and abilities could freeze enemies in place. Motion Twin carried on the legacy Wind blown with this Trinket, Frost Nova, which is an ice-based bomb that will explode in a small area to freeze enemies in place. This can give players extra time to heal if they need to or they can better position themselves behind an enemy to deal more damage. For example, there is an upgrade that players can permanently get called Backstabber back at HQ to deal more damage from behind. However, if players use this trinket, Frost Nova will be hard to miss.
1 Goo bomb
Keep enemies in place
There are a lot of bomb-based Trinkets in Windblown which is not uncommon in roguelikes or even in a game developed by Motion Twin. Dead cells was full of them from ice based to fire based. Goo Bomb is a bit more original to Windblown as it will explode in a fairly large area but it won't deal much damage initially. Instead, the goo can damage enemies over time, and temporary upgrades can increase this damage or make the goo stickier for enemies to stay in place. Since the Trinket icon looks like a can of paint and the goo is colorful, players may wonder if Motion Twin was inspired by Splatoon series known for its vibrant color-like ink.
