Strategy
The light provided by the Miner's Mining Helmet means you will not have to bother obtaining Torches or Lanterns.
Players can use the money saved from not having to buy Coals to buy Navy Revolver and Ammunition at the start.
Although you can see better at night thanks to the Mining Helmet, being careful is still crucial as visibility is still greatly reduced beyond the light your Mining Helmet provides.
The Miner is useful for the 'Pacifist' challenge, since mining Ores is a safe source of income.
The Miner synergizes well with the High Roller and Conductor, due to the former multiplying income from Ores and the latter benefitting from the coal mined from Ores.
Pros & cons
The starting Coal allows players to use their starting money for other purchases.
Spawns with a Mining Helmet, providing enhanced visibility at night.
Spawns with a Pickaxe, allowing players to mine Ores much faster, giving the player small extra income, and deal more damage than the Shovel.
