19. Gods' Pride

Times Used: 4
Times Cleared: 1
Ranked among Talent #11: 2/2

This gets really stung by its opposing talent. Both talents are about getting higher rarity from Gods. I'll take the one that gets me more chances of getting Duos. Plus, you could get 40% chance of Rare with Olympian Favor. The gap between Rare and Epic isn't that high.

18. Fated Authority

Times Used: 46
Times Cleared: 28
Ranked among Talent #12: 2/2

There's a few good places to use Fated Authority. The most important part is Styx. You'll know at the very beginning of Styx what your final selection of goods are. Fated Authority gives you some control over tweaking it, like trying to get a particular god to show up. I also like using it for the blue wreath rooms (Darkness, Gemstones, Keys, Nectar). I'm generally rerolling it to get either keys for more rerolls or nectar for a Pom upgrade.

Aside from that, I generally like what rewards I get, especially with Dark Foresight. Even without Dark Foresight, you can never reroll a blue wreath into a gold wreath, so it's a little pointless. I also never realized you can start off with 8 reroll dice, which is...an insane amount to me. Honestly not a bad idea to keep all 8 for Styx.

17. Deep Pockets

Times Used: 60
Times Cleared: 30
Ranked among Talent #7: 2/2

Deep Pockets allows you to ignore Obol rooms for a while. You can also get some early shop upgrades, which is honestly not too bad. The shop gods are most amorphous in Tartarus anyways, so it's definitely not bad to have 150~ Obol for the god boon. The other nice thing about Deep Pockets is that you don't have to worry about having 200+ Obol by the boss to get a nice Golden Touch return. You can freely spend throughout the area, which is nice. This really only applies to Tartarus and Asphodel, though.

16. Ruthless Reflex

Times Used: 22
Times Cleared: 9
Ranked among Talent #4: 2/2

I'll be honest: the big reason I don't like Ruthless Reflex is that I'm so used to double dashes at this point. Not really for combat, but just for moving around in the game, even in places like the House of Hades. Ruthless Reflex is probably the better of the two. There's a fairly good chance you'll get Greatest Reflex from Hermes in the run, which just makes it a straight upgrade from Greater Reflex. Once you get the timing right, you honestly don't even need the two dashes. I'm just so used to two dashes at this point that having one just throws me off so much.

15. Olympian Favor

Times Used: 47
Times Cleared: 20
Ranked among Talent #10: 2/2

40% chance to get Rare boons is awesome. I've been playing Dark Foresight/Gods' Legacy for a while, which means I've seen a loooot of Common boons. They're not good. And when I was playing with Olympian Favor, it felt nice to always have at least 1 solid boon pick. But you know what wasn't nice to see? Blue wreath rooms in Elysium. In exchange for getting better boons, I had several rooms where my reward was essentially useless. And after fighting Chariots and Greatshields, it's not a good feeling.

I feel completely refreshed. Like I just put on fresh underwear on New Year's Day.
