9. Soul

Even though I usually like Life rewards, this is...whatever to me? With Dark Foresight, you usually have more than enough Life through the Centaur Hearts. Even without Dark Foresight, I just didn't value getting this that much. Maybe that's why I died so often? Who knows.

8. Flourish

We're going to talk about doubling up. Generally, when I go for Chaos, I want to get the exact same blessing each time. So two Flourishes, two Strikes, etc. However, things are fine even if you get 1 blessing, because there's another way to double up: Well of Charon. With a well-timed Well of Charon, you can get a temporary double-up through Chimaera Jerky (Special), Cyclops Jerky (Attack), Braid of Atlas (Cast), or Prometheus Stone (Bloodstone). If that's a little too RNG-dependent, let me introduce you to the Bone Hourglass. You get a guaranteed Well of Charon with bonuses that will last you until the end of the area. You can also use Fated Persuasion to get another 3 options from the Well of Charon. Probably the main way I'm building up damage for Elysium and Styx nowadays.

Anyways, Flourish. Great option if you're going for a heavy-hitting special build, like Rail, Spear, or Chiron Bow. But that's a little inconsistent for me, so not usually my choice when I'm at Chaos.

7. Lunge

I respect Lunge a little more because I'm dash-striking more than using special. Unfortunately, there's no Well of Charon item for Lunge, so it's going to be a little harder to stack. On the other hand, you can get Hunter Dash, which is one of the more useful dashes to get for an easy doubling. Plus, I think every melee weapon has some dash-attack hammer upgrade, all of which can make your dash-strike suprisingly powerful. Getting a Chaos Lunge and Hunter Dash makes it more than viable.

6. Defiance

An awesome upgrade, but a very difficult one to get. It requires at least 2 Chaos visits, which is already unlikely. By the time you have a generous amount of Fated Persuasion, you probably don't need another Death Defiance. You're also better spending your Fated Persuasion on building a stronger god build or doubling up on your Chaos boons.

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