-In relative terms, Hepliaklqana is more noticeable on weaker species. However, no matter how strong your character is, Hep is still a powerful god. While the 10% HP penalty is imposing for the ''weakest'' species ([[Spriggan]]s and [[Felid]]s), the ancestor is still useful enough to warrant worship.
+Hepliaklqana is relatively better for weaker characters, as the ancestor remains about as strong no matter the character. However, Hep is still great regardless of power or character type.

 *[[Scrolls of immolation]] work well for followers of Hepliaklqana; target your ancestor, send them at your enemies, and watch them explode! They won't get angry, coming back no worse for the wear after the battle. Of course, the noise might attract monsters while your ancestor is away... (Note that the spell [[Inner Flame]] does not work.)
 *Transference can be used in a couple of ways:
 **You can swap your ancestor with a monster, in order to pull the monster closer.
 **If your ancestor is a few tiles away, you can swap the ancestor with a monster to send it further, much like a "[[dispersal (brand)|blink away]]".
-**You can swap yourself with your ancestor, in order to get away from monsters. Create a few tiles of distance ('''T'''elling your ancestor to '''r'''etreat helps), then use the ability. This functions like a superior [[Passage of Golubria]] -- it even works on [[Formicid]]s!
