Unholy Prayer Mechanics
Unholy prayers do not follow the same mechanics as normal prayers.
- Unholy Prayers cannot be used in tandem with standard Prayers.
- An Unholy Item (M) will either state "Unholy Item used for Unholy Prayers" or "+1 Unholy Mark stacks applied when hitting with an attack and allows Unholy Prayers to be used with one other item that allows for Unholy Prayers." These two effects are exactly the same.
- For each Unholy Item equipped, 1 Unholy Mark is applied to the enemy per hit, up to a maximum of 5.
- 1 Unholy Mark is removed from the enemy when they complete an attack.
- Unholy prayers consume Prayer Points per hit, not once per attack turn.
- Each time prayer points are consumed while using an Unholy Prayer, 1 Unholy Mark is removed from the enemy. This happens independently for each prayer, so with 2 prayers, 2 stacks are removed. Preserving Prayer Points results in fewer marks being consumed by the player's attacks.
- Unholy prayers scale in power based on unholy marks on the enemy.
It is also necessary to specifically talk about
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Reckoning. The stated effect "+2% damage dealt per effect affected by" is extremely unclear. The way it works is:
- For each active status effect on you (meaning, individual icon), you gain 2% damage per unholy mark on the enemy.
- Multiple stacks of a status effect do not affect the power of Error creating thumbnail: File missingReckoning.
- Similarly, a status effect with 0 stacks also counts, as long as the icon is visible. Applicable to
Agile Gem, 
Accuracy Gem, and 
Leviathan Shield - So for example with 5 active status effects, and 5 Unholy Marks on the enemy, Error creating thumbnail: File missingReckoning increases your maximum hit by +50%.
Due to the mechanics listed above, there are some cases where only a single prayer provides more damage than 2.
- With only the minimum 2 items equipped and little/no Prayer Point Preservation, using 2 Prayers results in little/no marks being applied meaning prayers have no effect.
- Without multi-hitting weapons, a weapon with a long attack interval will struggle to stack sufficient marks on the enemy due to them being removed on enemy attacks.
- Thus, it is recommended to use weapons with special attacks that hit multiple times with 3+ unholy items for the best results.
Several items state "grants the maximum effect of the X Unholy Prayer for the first 5 turns of combat." This means you gain the effects of the listed prayer as if the enemy had 5 unholy marks on them for your first 5 attack turns. These items may be a large DPS gain even when using standard prayers, as they bypass the limitation of using both at the same time.
