Lock Path
Difficulty: Medium
The path of Lock revolves around access, area denial, theft and gadgets. Pick this path if you want a less confrontational playstyle and more interested in being a slippery rat.
Pros
- Your mansus grasp can open any lock, unlock every termina and bypass any access restriction
- Lock heretics get some side knowledge for free, making it the perfect path if you want to experiment with the various trinkets the shop has to offer.
- Lock heretics don't gain visible aura after losing the ability to break blades, making it perfect for being stealthy at later stages.
Cons
- The weakest heretic path in direct combat, period.
- Very limit direct combat benefits.
- You have no defensive benefits or immunities.
- No mobility or direct additional teleportation.
- Highly reliant on sourcing power from other departments, players and the game world.
