Elin:Ehekatl of Luck

Goddess Ehekatl was born to the king of the Cat God as his seventh child, who was said to bring good fortune. Overcoming many disasters brought by her sister, she was ascended to Goddess with the aid of Kumiromi. Because of her all-round benefits, she has many followers, young and old, male and female. At the present, her mental is turning back to cat's due to a certain incident.

Overview

Umimya~!

As her description states, anyone can benefit from worship of Ehekatl, because her bonuses are very very generic. She is one of the few deities who boost luck , which has the effect of rerolling a dice-based decision to draw a better value (see Attributes for a detailed explanation). The other deity to offer luck as a bonus, Kizuami of Trickery, only does so at half the rates for equivalent piety levels. Charisma allows one to keep more allies and summons.Evasion, magic capacity and stealth are bonuses that while still narrower in focus, are still broadly applicable, and as for fishing, everyone needs to eat.

The flip side of Ehekatl's generality is that her bonuses don't exactly go hard and deep on more focused gods like Mani and Lulwy; benefits of her worship are applicable in just about any situation thanks to Elin's new luck mechanics, but they may not have as many watershed moments where one feels they may have turned the tide. Another change from Elona is that luck no longer affects the quality of drop items or casino card draw, making it less useful outside of combat.

Instead of the reduced versatility of luck, the Ehekatl faith has added housing-related bonuses. The land owned by Ehekatl worshipper is more likely to have "lucky month", which provide various benefits, making it easier for them to profit in the management of their land. Bonuses to fish shipments increase the usefulness of fishing skills. The randomization of stamina, discussed below, also contributes greatly to improving the efficiency of work at the base.

Her passive generally does lead to a decrease in stamina and MP consumption, but the randomised costs can make planning out a workday or assessing how many spell casts one has left troublesome. But unless you take actions that consume a very large amount of stamina/MP at once, the results will converge to a certain extent, and randomness will rarely lead to loss. In addition, if it is a simple work/spell that costs 1, the consumption will not increase, so you can do it more times than usual.

Apostle

The black cat is extremely fragile at 50 life and should be hosted on the player all the time. It's extremely good at locking down enemies with eye of insanity, and its ability to improve loot from enemies and chests is easier to use than it was in Elona since it doesn't need to land the killing blow to lick an item.

Lucky Dagger

The Lucky Dagger grants a bonus to luck as a faction effect and doubles that luck, which affects you even if it is equipped on a follower. Combining the luck bonus from faith at the artifact grant stage and the Lucky Dagger bonus brings the player's luck to 66, meaning that the player has a 2/3 chance of rerolling every die roll.

It also has a Chase faction effect. This is an effect that rerolls the hit judgment when an attack misses, resulting in you and the faction members being more likely to hit with an attack.

Besides they, it also gives the faction member bonuses to stamina absorption when attacking, invisibility, fish bane, and fishing skills. The last two are just extras, but Stamina Absorb is one of the few ways to regain stamina other than sleeping, and Invisibility is a nice effect to have, although it provides more ways to gain it than Elona. The only non-faction enchantment in Lucky Dagger is theft protection, which does not help apostates who want to abandon their faith after receiving the artifact.

How to gain favor

Fish for gaining favour with Ehekatl may be fished up by the player, or simply bought en masse at a fishmonger. Unlike Elona, however, you must offer her properly fresh fish, as rotten fish severely diminishes its value as an offering.

Cut the fish on a cutting board and offer it in slices. Offering more fish will increase its value. (However, moonfish and coelacanth should be offered whole for higher value.)

How to offer fish efficiently

Comparison of the number of fish and slicess required to raise piety by 1 level, the maximum number of slices obtained when processing each fish, and whether to offer slices or whole fish.

Mechanics

Ehekatl's School of Magic

When consuming MP or stamina through the Ehekatl faith, the new cost is determined by taking a random number between 0 and 1.3 times the original cost plus 1. So in a case where a spell has a cost of 40, it would be randomised between 0 and 53.

When the cost is 1, there is a 25% chance of the cost being negated..
