Charisma allows one to keep more allies and summons, but the true prize is luck: she is one of the few deities who boost this stat, which has the effect of rerolling a dice-based decision to draw a better value (see '''[[Elin:Attributes|Attributes]]''' for a detailed explanation). The other deity to offer luck as a bonus, [[Elin:Kizuami of Trickery|'''Kizuami of Trickery''']], only does so at half the rates for equivalent piety levels. 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. | 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. | ||

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. | The black cat is extremely fragile at 50 life and should be hosted on the player all the time.

The Lucky Dagger grants a bonus to luck as a faction effect and doubles that luck. 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. Besides that, 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. | |||
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. | Fish for gaining favour with Ehekatl may be fished up by the player, or simply bought en masse at a fishmonger.
