Blessings

Blessings are acquired via pledging to the Divine Pledge Altars, either between levels or at the very start of the run. They are extremely influential in how your run will be played, and each blessing can only be taken once. It is worth noting, however, that various deities can be pledged to throughout a run. Additionally, more blessing options will be unlocked as you beat bosses while pledged to those deities.

In addition to these 'major' blessings, there are also minor blessings. Minor blessings are buffs the player can receive from Post-Boss Interactions. Those are listed with the relevant event on that page.

The major blessings & their related deities are shown here:

The Dream Thing

The Dream Thing's blessings heavily relate to status effects, both on-hits and conversions. A majority of these blessings scale with INT, with these typically increasing the numerical bonuses of the blessings. The following is a list of The Dream Thing's Blessings, Effects, & Scalings;

Blessing	Description	Scalings	Additional Notes
Daydreams	15% Chance On Hit: Gain a heal over time that restores 10% of max HP over 10s	N/A	Extremely helpful in solo runs if you have limited healing, almost necessary in higher awareness levels. Note that this effect DOES NOT STACK, nor can duration be extended, and needs to be refreshed only after the effect has ended.
Shared Visions	Increases duration of all debuffs you inflict by (x)%. Chance on Hit: Apply a damage over time effect that deals 10 physical damage over 10s	INT	Debuffs and DOT count, so this can increase the uptime on Rot, Burn, & Bleed.
Oneiromancy	Add (x)% Critical Hit damage multiplier. Chance on hit effects are half as likely to occur.	INT/FAI	Increases the damage done on Crits. But multiplies your on-hit multiplier (seen on character screen) by 0.5x
Mirra's Many Arms	+2 Relic Charges Relic cooldown rate -50%	NA	Some Relics are not able to be used repeatedly, and one use of the relic will cancel out the other. Check Relics page.
Dreamwalking	Chance on hit: Convert 30% of physical weapon damage to a random element. Last until this triggers again: When an element is active, increase the damage of that element by (x)%	STA	This increased damage applies to all forms of damage that you can use, and is not just limited to the on-hit damage provided by that element.
Gold Eaters	Last combo: Summons a dream familiar for 10s. Increase summon duration by (x)%	INT	The summoned familiar is a small, vulnerable, ranged Mask that can be summoned even if the combo does not hit a target.
