The Hierophant (Reversed)

The high-stakes version of the Heretic mark: you keep the true-damage rider on the toughest enemy, but the damage boost now cuts both ways at 50% each. Fantastic for glass-cannon builds that plan to delete bosses before getting touched; dangerous if your run lacks the defenses or burst to win that race.

Quick answer

PICK IT WHEN

Take it when survival or consistency is the reason the run ends. The mark, boss, survival signals describe the kind of problem it is meant to solve.

WATCH OUT

Do not spend a damage slot on it when the run is already safe and a core engine pick is available.
