Effect Explained
Festive Lights' effect is a scavenging highlight: every 10 seconds, it highlights Ornaments in your vicinity during the Christmas Event.
The core problem: only two Ornaments spawn per Floor. Hunting them takes time away from extracting and aggroing Twisteds — and since each gives the same amount, the dedicated hunting isn't efficient. Toons with highlighting abilities (like Rudie or similar) find the same Ornaments without costing a Trinket slot.
Where it works: - Multiplayer guidance: one player with Festive Lights leads the team to Ornaments — better than half the team equipping it. - Christmas currency farming: helps grind Ornaments for event Toons/Skins/Stickers. - Large Floors: the highlight saves searching time on big maps.
The verdict: if you can find the two spawned Ornaments on your own even some of the time, the Trinket becomes nearly worthless. Prioritize speed/extraction Trinkets that boost your overall yield instead.
