Sker Ritual Miracles Tier List
Ranked deity picks for solo, co-op, Hardcore, and high Dread survival.
This Sker Ritual miracles tier list ranks Celtic deity picks for round-based co-op through Nightmare and Hardcore God Killer attempts. Rankings assume pairing with appropriate weapons and knowledge of map mechanics from walkthroughs. Wales Interactive may adjust miracle potencies in patches—cross-check deities reference for exact ability text.
Tier criteria
S-tier: Run-defining alone or in co-op; excels multiple maps; Hardcore-safe. A-tier: Strong situational power or requires stacking to shine. B-tier: Playable but outclassed when S-tier offered. C-tier: Niche challenge picks or weak solo value.
S-tier miracles
Cernunnos (damage stack) — Flat damage increase per pick, stacks across rounds. Best boss DPS and Killerwatt delete on Ashes. Pairs with every wonder weapon and Super Charger. Universal first pick for damage roles.
Rhiannon (mobility) — Sprint speed, slide distance, and revive rush. Mandatory feel for Sewers Stranger escort, Fortress candle routing, and Tides flood escapes. Solo S-tier for kiting Abraham and Stormcaller.
Morrigan (AoE burst) — Area damage procs on elite kills. Shreds Banshee waves on Lavernock, vent crawlers on House, and beach adds on Tides. Co-op S-tier when one player dedicated to add clear.
A-tier miracles
Brigid shield variants — Team damage reduction aura. Hardcore no-damage phases on Lavernock Banshees and Fortress candles—see deities for exact shield values.
Decoy / phantom lure — Redirects Quiet Ones during Sewers lantern escort and Fortress lockdowns. Useless solo but A-tier co-op escort maps.
Revive aura (team) — Faster revive radius for quad stacks. A-tier when squad runs Hardcore no-revive adjacent steps.
Ammo sustain picks — Extends LMG runs on boss phases; A-tier on Isaac and Elisabeth when wonder weapon ammo tight.
B-tier miracles
Single-target headshot buffs — Strong with snipers but map layout on Sewers and House punishes sniper reliance.
Melee boost without Shattered Edge — B-tier until Fortress blade forged; then situational A-tier.
Economy point miracles — Help early doors but fall off round 15+ when DPS matters more.
C-tier miracles
Pure team aura solo — Revive speed aura alone when no teammates down often.
Challenge novelty picks — Low damage trade for flavor; avoid on God Killer sessions.
Map-specific tier shifts
| Map | S-tier picks | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Lavernock | Morrigan, Cernunnos | Slow channel miracles during Banshee |
| Ashes | Cernunnos, Rhiannon | Solo team auras |
| Sewers | Rhiannon, Decoy | Stationary turret miracles during escort |
| Fortress | Rhiannon, Brigid shield | Four damage, zero sustain |
| House | Morrigan | Sniper buffs in halls |
| Tides | Rhiannon, Morrigan | Economy picks late |
Dread Level considerations
High Dread removes epic picks from pool—grab Cernunnos or Morrigan before Dread 3 if pushing nightmare content. Reroll tokens from Laughing Policeman matter more when pool shrinks.

Patch sensitivity and rerolls
Miracle tier placements assume post-1.0 balance. Wales Interactive may adjust deity potency in seasonal updates—retest your main map after major patches. Tier list ranks average value; player skill with Howler or Thunderbolt can outweigh a mid-tier miracle pick if weapon quest completes early.
Solo vs squad tier adjustments
Solo tier list elevates Rhiannon and Cernunnos because you cannot rely on teammate AoE. Quad tier list elevates Morrigan and Brigid because dedicated roles free damage players to ignore adds. Re-read tier notes when switching from duo Sewers to solo Fortress. Seasonal balance patches may bump support miracles when Nightmare modifier sets rotate—recheck this page after major Wales Interactive update notes. Check patch notes.\n\n## Keep progressing with linked hubs\n\nAfter you finish this page, open the Walkthrough hub for map scripts, study Easter Eggs for Hardcore seals, compare guns on the Weapons tier list, and shape Celtic powers with Miracle builds. Controller and keyboard players should also skim Controls before Nightmare pushes, then track steps live with the Objective Checklist.
