‎When to use bloodpools

Choongmyoung: 'space' is both countable and uncoutable noun at the same time, but when you use the uncountable one, keep it a singular form.

 {{boon|Stone Form}} + {{s|ENDISWAL}} is one good method. If you use ENDISWAL, you should first aim for the tower's walls which hides blackspace; then piety sparkles; then other walls. You should never aim the walls in courtyard; {{boon|Stone Heart}} or {{boon|Stone Skin}} can be used. The major drawback of this approach is that you should prepare enough piety if you want to convert into {{g|Dracul}}. If you worshipped Binlor during the run, you can buy Stone Form before converting into other gods, keeping the buff. However using 25 piety for Stone Form may not be a best choice if you found BYSSEPS. Only buy it when you have a good wall knockback chain so that you can recover the piety cost.
-{{i|Piercing Wand}} is one fine method. Like picking up BYSSEPS, you should plan the budget and buy it just before the boss fight. But you should not convert {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} even though you have {{s|HALPMEH}}. {{i|Martyr Wraps}} are not very efficient, but it's still better than nothing.

 Although Vicious Gaan-Telet is similar to its hard version, it requires a unique strategy. Vicious Gaan-Telet has a number of challanges unique to this map, and a successful strategy will have an answer to all of these:<br>
 * There is a shortage of blackspace. An average tower will have maybe 40 black tiles, and require you to defeat five very tough monsters.<br>
-* The monsters in later towers can deal very high damage. For example, a tower 9 Warlock will deal 192 damage.<br>

 * The final boss is very durable - without bypassing its 50% resistances, it takes 10 000 points of damage to kill it.<br>

 The easiest class to beat Vicious Gaan-Telet with is the {{c|Vampire}}. Other good picks include the {{c|Crusader}} who can ignore a lot of the malicious afflictions; and the {{c|Rogue}} whose {{t|Dodge}} and {{t|First Strike}} trait make her surprisingly efficient in melee.
-{{c|Monk}} has high resist cap and starting physical resist, efficiently regenerates between runs, and has good synergy with certain items such as {{i|Martyr Wraps}} or {{i|Vampiric Blade}}, but he suffers from the golden statue. {{c|Paladin}} also has a natural physical resistance and start with most useful glyph {{g|HALPMEH}} but should be dedicated a mono pantheon plus Pactmaker.

 All of those are proven to have enough power to beat VGT with Vicious Token, which is considered as one of the hardest badge to obtain in the game.

 *{{g|Dracul}} is arguably the single best deity for Vicious Gaan-Telet, offering both Sanguine and resistances. While his quirkiness makes him better to convert into late-game to reap his many benefits, he is the most critical of the deities.<br>
 *{{g|Binlor Ironshield}} can function as a generous source of piety, and can therefore be used in conjunction with the {{g|The Pactmaker}} to build a high level of resistances if used as the initial deity. This is the recommended approach for the {{c|Rat Monarch}}, who finds it difficult to keep a lot of resistance-increasing items in their inventory. On the other side, if you are facing Horatio and you can't erode his resistances, you can convert to Binlor to get Stone Soup and Stone Form. Two wallbreakers means easy 30 piety.
-*{{g|The Pactmaker}} offers {{boon|Body Pact}} to round up resistances as needed, though it is more expensive than either Tarog's or Dracul's boons. If you carry {{i|Patches the Teddy}} and {{i|Dragon Shield}} you can hit the resists cap without the help of the Pactmaker. If you take the body pact mid-run, only get it when you will not lose much piety on it, and be careful about losing the chance of free 50 piety. Otherly, you can begin the run with Taurog/GG/Binlor and body pact if you meet the Pactmaker at the first tower. <br>

 *{{s|GETINDARE}} is a really effective way to finish monsters, and is a great way to conserve resources. Excellent glyph.<br>
 *{{s|BYSSEPS}} is not very useful during most of the run, but can be very effective in stripping Horatio's resistances. It is often worthwhile to keep it on the floor, and pick it up for the boss fight.<br>
 *{{s|CYDSTEPP}} is a bit expensive, but can be very useful to land a killing blow.<br>
-*{{s|WONAFYT}} is a bit counterintuitive, but especially on the bigger tower maps it can be a good way to conserve blackspace.<br>
+*{{s|APHEELSIK}} can also help before getting some significant resists or sanguine that you need to rely on regen fighting.<br>
-Most other glyphs can be converted on sight. Keep in mind though that different characters may also find some other glyphs useful. Builds relying heavily on Knockback would benefit from keeping {{s|WEYTWUT}}; builds that require lots of blackspace could access a few extra tiles with {{s|LEMMISI}}; etc.<br>
+*{{s|WEYTWUT}} can help builds relying heavily on Knockback. It can also take the monsters off of the hallways. <br>
