Strategy

Magnifying Glass is considerably the best Trinkets in the game in regards of extraction, as it speeds up the process significantly when hitting a Skill Check, with the only consequence of it being the smaller Skill Check Size, which may be an issue when using it on Toons with 1 Skill Check, such as or. Because of this, it might be very difficult and get in the way more than help, so unless you're proficient at hitting Skill Checks and want a Trinket to help you with extraction, this Trinket is highly recommended as it will be no issue. Using this Trinket, Machines will fill up by 4% of their completion when hitting the gray bar of the Skill Check, and 4% in addition of the Skill Check Value when hitting the gold bar. Using this Trinket with a 1 Star Extraction Speed Toon such as will allow them to extract at the same speed as a 3 Star Extraction Speed Toon (or faster) when several golden Skill Checks are hit. In combination with, this Trinket will be even much more plausible as you'll extract almost at the same speed as due to increased Skill Check opportunities. However, do note that the Skill Check size will be reduced by 39.7%, which is an extreme amount, making for a high risk high reward Trinket combination. Toons with 5 Star Skill Check (such as and ) with this Trinket extract at around the same speed as 5 Star Extraction Speed Toons if the golden Skill Check is hit consistently. It only takes two golden Skill Check hits and you'll reduce exactly 3.5 seconds (not including your Toon's base golden Skill Check value) from your Extraction time.

This Trinket specifically adds 1.75 Skill Check value for all Skill Checks, no matter what you hit and no matter the Toon. This is about 2.5 Stars of Skill Check value. Before v0.2 introduced the revamped Skill Checks (Golden/Great Skill Checks), this Trinket used to award 4 units of value for each successful Skill Check. This also means that this Trinket has received a 56.25% nerf in Skill Check value, presumably below 50% (2 units) to prevent it from giving the equivalent of 4 Stars worth of Skill Check for just one Trinket slot.
