Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
| It weakens the willpower of the wielder any anyone they hex. |
The Guile ego, exclusive to orbs, give you -80 (**) willpower. In exchange, monsters you target with Hexes or other willpower-checks will have an effective -80 willpower.
Strategy
- Losing willpower is quite risky; paralysis, and other hexes are very much lethal! However, this item may be safely used in situations where you are sure that these status conditions aren't a major concern. For example, taking on ghost vaults on a cleared floor -- just make sure that the ghost can't try anything on you.
- Casters specializing in Hexes benefit most, especially as it takes the shield slot. However, any character can benefit with status wands and a little Evocations training.
- Sadly, it does not affect hexes from your allies (such as Hepliaklqana's ancestor).
History
The guile ego, along with orbs, was introduced in 0.28.
