-Mystera's cost for worshipping makes her unsuited for all but the most magic-focused of classes. For most players, this means [[wizard]]s and [[bloodmage]]s. Additionally, the slow rate of piety gain with her means that any glyphs you want to convert under her should be done before joining. On the upside, you can get plenty of piety upon worship, enough to get whatever boons you may decide you need. Weakening, while powerful for pure casters, is very situational (usually only of use against the Iron Man) and the high cost usually means that casters should find alternative methods of handling that particular situation aside from worshipping Mystera. Magic and Flames are both key boons, allowing you to deal a lot more damage with just BURNDAYRAZ alone. If there's still plenty more casting to be done in the dungeon, consider using your starting piety on the Faith boon and working your way up to Magic and Flames.

-Two oddities of note to help players circumvent Mystera's penalty for joining. First, it is possible, although very expensive, for followers of Tikki-Tooki to convert to Mystera. If you're playing a pure caster (or even a hybrid), you should have no trouble gaining piety under Tikki-Tooki. In fact, [[rogue]]s can gain piety quickly under Tikki-Tooki, but have little benefit from his boons, so they're well-suited to this option. Second, Mystera's penalty has no effect on the [[assassin]]'s Swift Hand ability, meaning they can still instantly kill lower-leveled enemies with their physical attack, although this comes with piety loss.

If you've saved up all your mana potions, the extra mana should give you the edge to BURNDAYRAZ the remainder of the boss's hit points. The loss of damage is irrelevant since you're out of hit points and couldn't attack anyways.
