Why?
- Because it will make tier 2 lockdown more diverse. Health increasing trinkets will still be the go-to ones but at least, we'll see some more interesting builds (including bombers) with different armors.
And because krogmo trinkets can help earlier in the game for newer players.
Even if they retain the price, it will still help with diversity in tier 2 LD.

Why not?
- Because it'll make strikers more overpowered in tier 2. But they will die faster at least and in all honesty, I'd rather get killed and get revenge once a match than see strikers with twice the health of not heated up guardian.

...trinket-using t2 strikers are OP enough.
Now you want to give them MORE power?
No.

A tiny problem

The 4* trinkets already give Low. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a 3* trinket to give the exact same bonus as a the 4* ones.

He said 'move'.
That means 'take out 4* trinkets and shift them into the 3* place'.

...actually, this will mean the price of trinkets would drop.

You forget that guardians can

You forget that guardians can wear the same heart trinkets as strikes. And what would become of the 4* trinkets?

Heart trinkets would still be

Heart trinkets would still be better. I have low ASI on each sword (according to you that should be a 3*), and still doubt I would win fighting a person with no ASI but one 3* heart trinket.
Personaly, I think heart trinkets should go 1*-3*-5*, giving 1 hp, then 2, then 3. That obviously wouldn't fly with anyone who owns high level heart trinkets, not gonna bother asking for it.

ASI overpower in tier 2 LD

I kind of forgot how I (low asi from guardian) was completely annihilated by swift flourish on a player who uses the first swing cancel thing, and I will regret if they had the MAX ASI (I think it's a little bit broken but don't get me started) But all the other classes could at least potentially get away from the flinch lock, because it would be harder to execute in smaller time (or not?)
But three heart trinkets would still be better because of countless times it will save you and allow to press forward instead of dying or going back to health spawners. Besides both trinkets would only give med damage, ctr or asi which is not that much. I'd use max ctr on no-UV lvl10 bombs with some pierce def piece of gear and bomber helm.
Also, I agree with orangeo - just one +5 hp in tier 3 clockworks give out of bounds health already, and 20 bars should be more than enough for stratum 5. Plus it would make less difference between tier 1/2 players and 3 regarding clockwork runs.

So wait...

Would it be a jump from 3* to 5*? Is that even possible?

Or are you suggesting 4* becomes med and 5* becomes high.

Because that wouldnt work as two trinkets combined would create a max bonus and thats just OP.

There's a problem in the jump from 3* to 5*, don't see how to fix this, but I *kinda* agree. 3* seems a bit cheap tho.
