Despite being a free shovel, Candlelight Shovel is ideal in almost all aspects. Just fix the control part of this tool, and you are good to go. Here are some charms you must use with the Candlelight Shovel to make it efficient:
- Controlled Glove: Candlelight Shovel is ideal in all aspects except control, so this charm is a no-brainer. It will improve the shovel’s control percentage by a good amount.
- Sydney’s Katana: Sydney’s Katana offers a solid control stat instead of a percentage that goes well with this shovel.
- Rock Pounder: If you want to make this shovel your boss killer, you can boost damage further with a Rock Pounder charm.
Best Enchantments for Candlelight Shovel
If you get the right enchantment on the Candlelight Shovel, it can be your favorite shovel for the early mid-game. Here are all the enchantments you can pair with the Candlelight Shovel in Dig:
- Bulky: Frigid Shovel has a pretty average control bar for its price. To fix it, you can use the Bulky enchantment and get a 15% bonus control.
- Swift: To make your digging journey smoother with this shovel, you can also add the Swift enchantment for a 15% haste bonus.
- Sundering: If you want to make Candlelight your boss-killer shovel, get Sundering enchant and boost your boss damage by 20%.
Should You Get Candlelight Shovel in Dig?
For a free item, the Candlelight Shovel is surprisingly powerful in Dig, and it’s definitely worth trying to defeat the Dig boss to earn it. While the drop rate is low, the stats it provides make the effort worthwhile. Its high strength makes it great for early-game boss fights, but it may fall short in cave areas due to its preference being dirt. Use it mainly for boss encounters, and start grinding for a better shovel, like the Frigid Shovel, to amplify your income.
