Pure weapon damage in Abyssus will take you only so far. Real power in your diver is in picking the right Aspects and Blessings. Blessings change your abilities with dramatic effects, making normal abilities be turn-deciding builds. The incorrect choice can end a run frustratingly early, and pairing up the right ones can have you burn down bosses and bulldoze rooms.
This guide organizes the top Blessings in Abyssus, categorized by element, with explanations for why they’re strong and when to prioritize them.
Top Fire Blessings
Fire is one of the hardest Aspects to deal damage over time with, but its Blessings are incredibly synergistic with spreading Flare across groups of enemies.

- Linked Flames – Best crowd-control Fire Blessing. Great for clearing mobs when one enemy Flares, all burning enemies Flare.
- Fanning Flames – Makes damage snowball by making repeated Flares deal more.
- Weakening Flames – Burns + weakspot damage makes Fire lethal for precision builds.
