Invisibility downsides on long runs?

[catsgomeow]

Does the invisibility perk have any potential downsides/annoyances on very long runs? I imagine there's probably some obscure useful tricks that require enemies be able to see you, stuff similar to the hp trick with the blood mages, which could make this perk more annoying than useful long-term. Could also see it possibly saving my ass in a few scenarios mostly edge case stuff, though im too late in this run for it to be useful in the general sense I think?

Trying to get enemies to heal you in Hiisi base and the HP trick with the Heart mage like you said, overall I’d say no big downside but honestly kinda worthless when you are teleporting around all the time or getting stained constantly.

Hmmmm alright, kind of what I figured. May just end up not grabbing it, knowing Noita there's probably an equal number of scenarios where it saves me to those where it inconveniences me but I have an easier time thinking of the latter.

I can't think of any real downsides exactly, but on the lower levels it can definitely be less effective as you'll need to dig and there's liquids flying everywhere etc. The traps in the temple still fire at you when you're invisible, for example

I'd still pick it over several other perks though, even if it only gives you time to think

Not really, any downside could be negated by just standing in a bit of water or something. Otherwise it's really just benefits especially before you have a god run going and even after it can make it easier to engage with the still lethal enemies like polymorphers.
