Any point in keeping sacerdos?

[Lycanthrope]

Since you can get all his upgrades so quickly is there any point in keeping him around afterwards? Or do his benefits go away when he does. (Sacerdos is the priest with the prayers that randomly improve gladiators for those who dont know)

[Olasmo]

his benefits go away when you fire him so you need to keep him around if you want his benefits

Take the sacerdos, the smith and the architect. Throw out the architect later and take the bard (or someone else).

All 3 (with the bard) can upgrade gear, and provide decent buffs.

i just did a run (and starved to death cause of a flood LOL) with sacerdos, educator, and architect. filled the training area with stones and dummies, built the wall cause no one escapes, then dropped architect for bard.

educator gives 25% damage buff which is insane if you go hard with murmillos like i did. i had the weapon master card for 35% increased damage on one of my murmillos and straight up one shot over half the enemies i faced in the pit fights.

but i think i would drop the bard for the smith since upgrades get really expensive later on especially if you have someone die and the free upgrades AND cheaper upgrades are awesome. i think the difference maker would be how much it actually increases strength and weapons training. cause it takes a very long time to get a skill to its next level once you start getting past 30 in a skill so idk how useful the bard would be in that regard. meanwhile you can see the damage the educator gives you, the healing the sacerdos gives you, and the upgrades the faber gives you.

i'm still gunna give the sacrifice the gods person a try because you can reduce enemy attack proficiency or their health so you can kill them even faster with murmillos.
