Usage of rites

[Born to Coom]

Spoiler warning

I find myself using only a handful of rites, usually sunset rite as it is a good way of getting 90% of what I want.
On very VERY rare occassions I use rites that allow me to use materials if I'm missing some lore or another.
I wonder though if I'm looking at rites wrong, if I'm missing something or not, there's legit a good amount of rites I've never used.
What are your thoughts on all the different rites?

yeah, sunset is really the only one people use. Intercalate is good for ascension and required for apostles, but the only uses for rites outside that is if you desperately need to do something and are willing to sacrifice lore/followers/tools. Actually, now that i think about it seas feasting/crows quenching/mothers mercy are also alright, ingredients arent too useful outside rites

They each have their uses. The only ones I never use are the tool-destroying ones.

You get so much extra lore, it's often faster to just sacrifice some when you need something than go about the trouble of generating Influence for it. Also works for summoning Teresa, since SH lore is infinite.

Don't get me wrong, I still mostly use the Influence Rites like everyone else, but the others also have uses.

Thats one thing I didn't consider, the extra lore you get from the descriptions.

Map's Edge can cover a lot of the same ground as Sunset once you've got the right tools. And I've used Crow's Quenching a time or two to keep an influence alive (while Sulochana was preserving something else).
