Description
Spare Bulb appears as a peachy-yellow light bulb. Its base is gray and it has a slight orange tint at the edges that might allude to age. The wires inside are white with little loops for the electricity current. It is obtained by achieving 100% Research on Twisted Brightney and is currently the first Trinket designed around Floor Events in general.
Strategies
Though Blackouts are usually not that common, it is best to use Spare Bulb if you really struggle against this event. If you want to see or guide teammates better with your light-producing Toon, Spare Bulb can also be used to their advantage. It can also be stacked with others to give more radius for light-producing Toons, which can help starter teammates see better in Blackouts.
This Trinket could prove useful against Twisteds with high detection ranges like Twisted Pebble, ranged attacks like Twisted Goob's pull, or darker/shorter designs like Twisted Finn or Twisted Sprout's tendrils. However, having Brightney or Vee on your team would provide more information due to their Abilities, with less risk. It may be better to use Party Popper if you struggle with Blackouts, with the added bonus of working outside of Blackouts and highlighting Twisteds behind walls, though Party Popper only works for the player using it and only activates when extracting Machines.
