Which Demon Pacts are Good?

[Aru]

I've killed a bunch of Bosses by now, but I'm conflicted over actually using Pacts. I'm assuming they're lost on death, and most seem to be not very strong compared to just firing a Q. Rifle or a machine gun or aren't worth the cost. The one I do have that might be cool is the one that turns you into a Quasimorph, but there's a 50/50 chance transformations suck in any game, and the duration was only 20 Turns iirc.

The best one I found is "Summon Allies" you get from either trading with Tezctlan or by killing the Boss on Venus.

Note that it actually summons enemies instead of allies. But they have some of the best loot drops including lowering Quasimorphsis,full heal, and map reveal.

You can easily and repeatedly dispatch these summoned entities by spreading fuel in a prepared room, setting the room on fire with the fire shotgun or explosive barrles, then closing the door to let them burn before you go to dispatch the stragglers.

You might say it doesn't sound so good, but having an unlimited supply of map reveals will generally cut down your time per mission by 60%, and let you see enemies(if used on the first turn on any map) and spot blueprint at a glace.

Small correction. It now summons temporary allies. They will die after short duration. Each death will accelerate quasimorphosis count, but considering how many artifacts they drop: full heal, map reveal, reduction of quasimorphosis - it is usually worth it. Additionally - no, you do not loose pats on death. Even death will not sever your ties.

q pacts are not lost on death, i believe it is mentioned somewhere in descriptions
