--WORSHIPING GODS--
Before a match begins, each player must choose a god to worship, each god has a unique monster lineup and some associated bonuses.
Teok








From deep within the earth, she rises
  • Teok's monsters are stronger by way of her followers starting with a monster fang and a monster toe, providing +13% attack and +22% speed to monsters.
  • Teok, in addition to having more powerful monsters, has the best monster lineup in the game, but her strengths in monsters are balanced by her lack of hero or ghost bonuses.
Teok's available monsters:
65
Teok's bonus items:
Murkan








He hides in wait, sharpening his claws
  • Murkan's followers enter the dungeon with a thieving knife.
  • Because the bonus is a starting weapon, as soon as you buy a weapon, you lose the starting bonus, but the faster attack and the extra gold you will get early in the game can help his followers get a leap on the others.
Murkan's available monsters:

Gholoth








The stench of death heralds his coming
  • Followers of Gholoth start with a dwarven cog, dealing +25% trap damage.

S'hrim








A decaying god, mostly forgotten by men

Glub, Glubappease The Abyss!

good rundown of the gods tho
chestnut_druid 28 Dec, 2019 @ 5:59pm 
in my opinion taunting qaahl is okay, the blink dash is great because if you can use it right you just become untouchable and literaly cant die, you need to be good though, so taunting qaahl and dieing is the game saying "git gud" and then deleting your character (unless the other players succseeded in wich yay you did it) so its just a way of testing if your great or not.
