Formula
A trinket fires its effect when adrenaline reaches its maximum. Adrenaline comes from your hits (1 for most melee hits), blocks (1 for most shields), parries (5) and staggering an enemy (3).
Parries to fill = ceil(trinket adrenaline ÷ 5); hits = ceil(trinket adrenaline ÷ 1).
Humanoid.GetEquipmentMaxAdrenaline, Attack.m_attackAdrenaline, Humanoid.BlockAttack and Player.m_staggerEnemyAdrenaline in the code of Valheim 1.0.17.
Assumptions
- Secondary attacks and some weapons give more adrenaline a hit.
- Fader's Forsaken power: adrenaline +100% while it lasts — fewer actions to fill.
- The counts assume no adrenaline is lost between actions.
