Sker Ritual Celtic Deities & Miracles Reference

Sker Ritual miracles invoke Celtic deities from Welsh mythology tied to Maid of Sker lore. Each deity offers distinct combat or utility blessings chosen between rounds at shrine stations. This reference documents core deities—Cernunnos, Morrigan, Rhiannon, Brigid—and common miracle categories so you can plan builds and interpret tier list rankings without guessing in-match.

Cernunnos — The Horned Lord

Theme: Damage amplification and hunt prowess.

Typical effects: Increased weapon damage stacking per pick; bonus headshot damage on elites; short damage burst after kill streaks.

Best maps: Ashes Killerwatt waves, Lavernock Abraham phase, any boss with wonder weapons and Super Charger.

Synergy: Pairs with LMG primaries and God Killer post-Hardcore unlock. First pick for dedicated damage role in co-op.

Hardcore note: Required DPS for timed Abraham and Elisabeth windows—do not skip on Fortress Hardcore phase two.

Morrigan — The Phantom Queen

Theme: War, fate, and area devastation.

Typical effects: AoE proc on elite death; crow strike visual hitting nearby Quiet Ones; bonus damage during Dark Rounds on Ashes.

Best maps: Lavernock Banshee ritual, Sewers rat swarms, House vent crawlers, Tides beach phases.

Synergy: Shotgun and Plague toxic cloud grouping—enemies stacked in clouds trigger more AoE procs.

Hardcore note: Clears rear spawns during Lavernock no-damage Banshee wave when assigned rear guard role.

Rhiannon — The Moon Goddess

Theme: Speed, endurance, and escape.

Typical effects: Sprint speed increase; extended slide; faster revive rush; reduced stamina drain carrying quest items.

Best maps: Sewers Stranger escort, Fortress candle routing between wings, Tides flood escapes, Ashes teleporter sprint chains.

Synergy: SMG bleed kiting, solo survival without team revive aura. Mandatory consideration for Sewers Hardcore lantern escort.

Hardcore note: Candle runner on Fortress should pick Rhiannon early—damage miracles secondary until candles lit.

Brigid — The Hearth Guardian

Theme: Protection and sustain.

Typical effects: Team damage reduction aura; self-shield on interact start; gradual health regen between rounds below half health.

Best maps: Fortress doll lockdowns, Lavernock no-damage phases, co-op general sustain.

Synergy: Supports Cernunnos damage player by preventing one-shots during reload windows.

Hardcore note: A-tier for Fortress candle no-damage if player not running candles can body-block stray Quiet Ones.

Decoy and lure miracles

Theme: Misdirection.

Effects: Spawns phantom attracting nearby Quiet Ones for limited duration.

Best maps: Sewers escort, Fortress lockdown rooms, Ashes furnace defend while others insert punch cards.

Synergy: Co-op only A-tier—solo value low. Pair with Rhiannon runner kiting away after decoy expires.

Revive and team aura miracles

Effects: Faster downed revive channel; larger revive radius; shared partial heal on miracle pick.

Best maps: Hardcore co-op on Ashes no-revive furnace and quad Nightmare pushes.

Synergy: Fourth player pick when three already have damage, AoE, mobility covered.

Economy and utility miracles

Effects: Bonus points on headshots round 1–5; discount on door buys once per match; extra reroll token chance.

Best maps: Speedrun door opens on Lavernock; less valuable round 15+ on Dread pushes.

Tier: B-tier general—see miracle tier list.

Choosing between offered trios

Shrine stations present three random miracles influenced by rarity roll, team size, and Dread Level. Rules of thumb:

1. First three rounds: Rhiannon or Cernunnos unless solo sustain emergency.
2. Pre-boss: damage stack or AoE matching upcoming arena.
3. Hardcore step active: prioritize step-specific pick (Decoy escort, Brigid shield) over generic damage.

Use miracle planner to pre-draft squad trees. Cross-link controls for shrine interact keybinds.

Deity synergy pairs

Cernunnos plus Morrigan covers single-target and AoE without overlapping mechanics. Rhiannon plus Brigid helps solo players kite and heal between vault steps. Avoid picking two mobility miracles in duos—one runner is enough on Lavernock conduit escort.
